November 21, 201213 yr Could we have a surprise #1 by Sunday? YES PLEASE! :w00t: I'd have anyone that's not Rihanna at the top spot for the album chart. Wait, that's a live album? Will it still chart officially? Edited November 21, 201213 yr by øbscure
November 21, 201213 yr Little Mix were on BBC1 Breakfast at 9am this morning, the album was mentioned just at the beginning and they didn't perform, McFly were interviewed yesterday and also performed. Little Mix. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rs3WZ3XBJv8 McFly. Interview https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jsb-I_zxqFs McFly Performance. Talking of Mcfly that's only the second time the single has been performed. They seem to have a lot of promotion next week with Loose Women,This Morning,Extra Factor I think Love is Easy may re enter top 40 in a few weeks with the Prime time ITV1 special they have and of course the Album too (which will do pretty well I think) EDIT-I Tunes EP to be released soon.....

November 21, 201213 yr I too would be happy to see someone other than Rihanna sitting at the top of the album chart this sunday. Olly will easily pass 100,000 with his album, he has done it twice before, his new single is storming the charts so i dont see why he wont make it three in a row.
November 21, 201213 yr Author Midweek Charts: No sorry sales start for Rihanna's Unapologetic Source: MW by Paul Willams Rihanna is heading for her fourth UK chart-topping album with Unapologetic as Olly Murs looks to complete a quartet of No 1 singles. The Barbadian's newly-issued Def Jam/Mercury set currently has a lead of more than 20,000 units with Led Zeppelin's Celebration Day in second place, according to the Official Charts Company. Unapologetic now looks on course to emulate Good Girl Gone Bad, Loud and Talk That Talk by reaching No 1, while Celebration Day will give Led Zeppelin their third Top 10 album this century. The Atlantic/Rhino/Swansong set, which captures their 2007 reunion performance at London's O2 arena, follows 2003 live set How The West Was Won, which reached No 5, and 2007 retrospective Mothership, which peaked at 4. However, outselling Rihanna by more than two copies to one is EMI TV/UMTV compilation Now 83, which since its release this week has so far shifted nearly 128,000 copies. It is the first album released in the series since Universal's takeover deal with EMI was completed. Like Rihanna, Olly Murs is also seeking out a fourth UK chart-topper but his quest is in the singles market where the newly-released Epic title Troublemaker featuring Flo Rida presently has a lead of nearly 30,000 units over Girls Aloud's comeback Polydor single Something New. Syco act One Direction's Little Things is at 3, having debuted at 1 last Sunday. Murs' midweek chart success follows him performing Troublemaker on last Sunday's X Factor results show, the same programme on which RCA's Alicia Keys performed Girl On Fire. That track is also benefiting from the exposure, showing up as a new entry at 4 on Sales Flashes and looking set to become Key's seventh UK Top 10 single. Featured on The X Factor the week before, Little Mix's debut album DNA lines up as a new entry at 4 on the midweek artist albums chart and is one of six new releases among the Top 10 sellers at this stage of the week. Showing up at 5 is Susan Boyle's fourth album Standing Ovation - The Greatest Songs, while an expanded version of Michael Buble's 2011 Reprise/Warner Bros set Christmas is at 6 and Ministry of Sound act Example's The Evolution Of Man is at 7. With new arrivals from Little Mix and Susan Boyle plus One Direction's Take Me Home dropping 1-3, Syco currenty has three of the week's five biggest artist sellers. Below the trio, Rod Stewart's Verve/Decca debut Merry Christmas Baby falls 2-8 as the Decca-issued Magic Of The Movies by Andre Rieu and the Johann Strauss Orchestra slips 4-9 and Robbie Williams' Island set Take The Crown drops 5-10. Outside the Top 10, AC/DC's Columbia release Live At River Plate shows up as a new entry at 14 and is among a crop of singles and album midweek entries by the legendary band (see separate story) after their catalogue was finally made available this week on iTunes. Other new arrivals include a new RCA-handled Whitney Houston retrospective, I Will Always Love You - The Best Of. Behind Olly Murs, Girls Aloud, One Direction and Alicia Keys on singles, Syco act Labrinth's Beneath Your Beautiful featuring Emeli Sande is demonstrating real staying power as it climbs 5-4 on midweeks. Below it, Parlophone act Gabrielle Aplin's The Power Of Love falls 5-6, PSY's Gangnam Style holds at 7 and fellow Island release Candy by Robbie Williams declines 6-8. Little Mix's Syco single DNA is down 3-9 at this stage of the week, while Atlantic act Bruno Mars' Locked Out Of Heaven makes a rapid fall to 10 having debuted at 2 last Sunday. Following up the chart-topping Feel The Love, Rudimental's Asylum-issued Not Giving in featuring John Newman and Alex Clare registers as a new entry at 11, while Atlantic act Christina Perri's A Thousand Years climbs 19-14 with sales up 156% on the week. Its uplift is no doubt helped by its exposure in the film Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1.

November 21, 201213 yr Skips AC/DC to play Ludacris. Nice to see Greg has his priorities in check. :drama:
November 21, 201213 yr Could we have a surprise #1 by Sunday? i have just counted 14 different versions of the Led Zeppelin release that are available via amzon. :blink: that surely helps that it's selling like hot cakes
November 21, 201213 yr Naughty Boy and Emeli Sande climbing two places! Thank you Now 83! Wouldn't surprise me if it wasn't T40 come Sunday though.
November 21, 201213 yr Great week so far for Ac Dc, long may it continue. Whitney Houston very low, then again it has nothing new to offer.
November 21, 201213 yr Susan Boyle is doing unbelievably considering she has had no promotion, has anyone seen her perform anywhere? :o No hype around this album at all so to be #5 is really impressive. One D will probably be #2 come Sunday with Girls Aloud falling on iTunes daily. Alicia Keys will probably be #6/#7 come Sunday too. Edited November 21, 201213 yr by Karma
November 21, 201213 yr Author Is that the new edition of Michael Buble's Christmas album at number 6??? Its marked as a new entry but it has spend 11 weeks in the chart already, everything is combined.
November 21, 201213 yr Susan is number 5 not number 2, but she is still doing very well. :lol: Yeah meant #5, wonder if she'll stay top 5 for the official chart on Sunday..
November 21, 201213 yr I'd be surprised if Girls Aloud did fall behind One Direction - it has physicals and an EP as we always go on about!!! :P Bet no-one would have previously thought Rudimental's follow-up would miss the T10! Although it could still enter as I think it may be T10 on iTunes. Great to see A Thousand Year climbing - hope it can stick around as long as Lady Antebellum's Need You Know did this year. Ellie Goulding starting to stabilise now which is good to see! :D
November 21, 201213 yr YES PLEASE! :w00t: I'd have anyone that's not Rihanna at the top spot for the album chart. Wait, that's a live album? Will it still chart officially? Why would it not?! Live albums are allowed to chart just the same as studio albums - Coldplay, Bee Gees, Take That etc, have all had hit live albums.
November 21, 201213 yr Oh, looks like Coldplay's live album must be ineligible then. I suppose that makes sense. #7 is okay for Example, should hopefully stay top 10. Brilliant to see 2 AC/DC tracks in the top 40, 'Highway To Hell' might drop out by Sunday (or it might climb, depending on how the tracks hold up) but 'Back In Black' will definitely be top 40 now.
