If this was 2001, Public Service Broadcasting would be new entry at #19 in the singles with "Everest".

 

Instead we get average Ed Sheeran album track that nobody wanted :(

I'm surprised One Direction are doing so well with their album and no1 in the singles. Would prefer Bruno Mars to be number one. At least he is more credible and not from some awful tv show.

 

They aren't there yet! Still time for them to burn to the ground :w00t:

Ha, I was waiting for the "Killers above P!nk" comment! :P

 

So was I actually! :lol:
Got to stick by my loon rules and guidelines! :heehee: But seriously if they stay above her for this week, it'll be the last you hear of it from me. Haha. (I always do this, as soon as the target (I've set in my head) is accomplished I usually shut up and move on ha!)

So pleased to see Steps moving up 2 places from yesterday's mids - They had an album signing yesterday and one today at HMV so hopefully it might just help them go Top 20 officially on Sunday.

 

Love Christina's album but tbh the flop is deserved she has not promoted over here for ages and as 'Bionic' proved she is not big enough to sell on her name alone anymore and to totally ignore the UK market for her last 2 album releases shows that she is not really bothered how she performs here.

It's a single and his 2nd best song :teresa: -_-

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, now Thursday, and One Direction are STILL #1 on iTunes. Whilst Little Mix and Bruno have both dropped as far as #4.

 

I'm really not sure what's going to happen now. The Sunday sales being missing for One Direction makes it difficult for me to predict.

Predicting what'll be #1 on Sunday is difficult - OTOH, predicting that I won't like it whichever it is, is easy... :lol:

Didn't Beneath Your Beautiful miss almost a whole day's sales? It only climbed up to number 1 after the x factor sunday show. Swedish house mafia was only 80% or thereabouts behind.
35%+ lead in the past 3 days should cover 16K sales... if not today then tomorrow!!!

Are sales really going to be big this week? This is Labrinth's 4th week in chart and he's currently selling more copies than Bruno and Little Mix.

 

I don't expect a big drop in Labrinth's sales, so he should do around 60k this week easily. Having said that, I'm not sure if either Bruno or LM can pass the 100k mark now.

BYB will be on around 70k i think - LM & Bruno should do at least 80k and 1D maybe just 100k!

Girls Aloud are not releasing tomorrow, as things stand One Direction could still do the double if they can gain a big lead, it just rest on the performances tomorrow night. The top 2 should surpassed 100k quite easily if LM and OneD occupy the top 2.

Today's update is going to be very interesting, and it still could change.

Update is in, the album chart is a bit of a mess, all the albums are marked as new entries, the singles hmmm, I let you wait a tad longer... :P

Midweek Charts update: One Direction aiming for chart-topping double

Source: MW

by Paul Willams

 

One Direction are heavily applying the presure on Bruno Mars as they look this weekend to add a No 1 single to their virtually guaranteed UK albums chart-topper.

 

The band's second Syco album Take Me Home has easily surpassed 100,000 sales in its first week at retail with two days of trading to go and it is destined to debut at 1 this coming Sunday. According to Official Charts Company stats, it had sold around 123,000 copies by the end of business on Thursday, more than the collective tallies of albums by Rod Stewart, The Rolling Stones, Andre Rieu and Robbie Williams directly below it.

 

Take Me Home has been dominating the market all week. However, that has not been the case with the band's brand new single Little Things, which at the beginning of the week was being outsold by new tracks from Bruno Mars and Little Mix plus Parlophone act Gabrielle Alpin's John Lewis sync The Power Of Love. Mars' Elektra/Atlantic-issued Locked Out Of Heaven led the midweeks at that stage and was around 5,000 sales ahead of Syco act Little Mix's DNA in second place with Alpin third, while One Direction were a distant fourth, nearly 16,000 sales behind Mars.

 

By the end of Thursday, though, the situation had completely changed with One Direction up to 2 and only around 1,500 sales behind Mars who has a 2.6% sales lead over the boy band. The momentum clearly seems to be with One Direction as they look to score simultaneous singles and albums chart-toppers.

 

On albums Rod Stewart's Merry Christmas Baby, his first release since switching from Sony to Universal, looks like debuting at 2 ahead of The Rolling Stones' new Polydor best of GRRR. Rieu and the Johann Strauss Orchestra's Decca-issued Magic Of The Movies has dropped 2-4 at this stage of the week, while Island act Robbie Williams' Take The Crown is down to 5 having debuted at 1 last Sunday.

 

This Sunday's Top 10 is also likely to include brand new entries from Decca's Alfie Boe and Reprise/Warner Bros's Green Day, while Polydor act Lana Del Rey's Born To Die could return to the Top 10 following the release of the Paradise Edition of the album. Sales of the album are up 482% on the week, lifting it 38-8 on the midweeks.
