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

 

Probably more interesting than next week's - Girls Aloud #1, everybody else miles behind...

I hope Kylie has climbed into the Top 20

Has Kylie moved at all?

Other chart news, Singles: Wanted down 17 places :o Calvin & Tinie, Jason Mraz, NeYo, JLS, Lawson, David Guetta, Willy Moon, Sneakbo, fun. [sN] and Carly, are out of the top 40, Rihanna's single still top 10, with a drop of 2 places, Adele is just behind Rihanna. Albums: Kylie is down 13 places :snif: and JLS's album down 11 places, any others shout out, and for Jonjo Killers 20+5, above P!nk :P

I don't think it's that much of a foregone conclusion that they'll beat Olly, although I'm hoping.

 

Anyway, for today's there are no real surprises for me except McFly still as high as #7. I think Little Mix could certainly be #4 on Sunday though. :o

 

Shame Christina's album just keeps on sliding.

So Kylie is at 24 - hopefully will go back into the top 20 with the performances this weekend

oops sorry down 13 down to 20, my mistake, mind you the album chart did not help one bit as they are marked as all new entries for last week's column.

If Olly beats Girls Aloud, they should return the favour with a big stick... :w00t:

OMG Martin, I thought you meant down 13 from the first midweek position which made me think she was number 36 lol.

 

The fact its risen 3 since the first undate is great though.

Ah well that's better then her Wednesday midweek of 23

Woah! Pleasantly shocked at McFly still being as high as #7! Don't really understand how though, it's been constantly falling since Wednesday's midweeks and is down to #14 now, and there's no physical to help it either... strange.

Its prob sold enough Sunday-Wednesday to get as high as 7 and the others are playing catch up now!

Looking like a 1D double. They will overtake Bruno by saturday, if not today. :dance:

Official chart

 

According to this morning’s Official Charts Company sales data, One Direction could be on course to top both the Official Albums Chart AND the Official Singles Chart on Sunday.

 

The British/Irish boyband’s new single, Little Things, which was Number 3 in Wednesday’s Official Singles Chart Update, has surged ahead of their fellow X Factor stars Little Mix’s latest track, DNA. Little Things is now only 1,500 copies behind current Official Singles Chart Number 1 race leader, Locked Out Of Heaven by Bruno Mars.

 

Over on the Official Albums Chart, the band are still on course for their first ever Number 1 album with Take Me Home, which is outselling its closest competitor, Rod Stewart’s Merry Christmas Baby (Number 2), by nearly three copies to one.

 

Since Monday, Take Me Home has sold over 123,000 copies, which puts it as a close contender for the fatest selling album of 2012. That record is currently held by Mumford And Sons' second album, Babel, which sold 158,000 copies during its first week on sale.

 

Robbie Williams pulled off an Official Charts Double last Sunday (November 11) when his single Candy held onto Number 1 on the Official Singles Chart, while his album, Take The Crown, debuted at Number 1 on the Official Albums Chart.

So that means Rod Stewart is on 41k with his Xmas album :o

 

MW mid report added with the update.

Great work by One Direction reducing the lead from 16,000 to 1,500, they should officially end up number 1 on Sunday with pretty decent sales to go with it, likewise they are performing amazingly in the album chart as well.

 

Could i just ask for some clarification is Kylie Minogue at number 20 or number 24 in the album chart???

 

Great to see Steps still in the top 30, no doubt the sales they achieve this week would usually be enough to make the top 10 at other times of the year but i do think they will end up getting the dreaded number 41 position on Sunday.

#20

little mix dropping on itunes.. but are on children in need along with 1d.

I'm afraid I can see OneD doing the double this weekend, they are going to benefit more from tonight's performance and with their album release this week, Little Mix will have to settle for the runners up position of #2. Bruno Mars can sink to #4, if Gabrielle's track get played on the TV ads over the weekend.

 

That's my assessment of the top 4 singles.

Woah! Pleasantly shocked at McFly still being as high as #7! Don't really understand how though, it's been constantly falling since Wednesday's midweeks and is down to #14 now, and there's no physical to help it either... strange.

Looking at Mcfly forum quite a few fans are using Amazon to download
