November 26, 201213 yr Author Midweek Charts: Murs targeting chart double Source: MW by Paul Willams Olly Murs is looking to simultaneously top the UK singles and albums charts for the first time as he leads the two midweek countdowns. His newly-issued third Epic album Right Place Right Time is off to a strong sales start, having shifted more than 60,000 copies in two days, according to the Official Charts Company, more than double the tally of its nearest rival, Take Me Home by Syco's One Direction. At the same time Troublemaker, which debuted at No1 on the singles chart last week and features Flo Rida, is currently around 9,000 sales ahead of Atlantic act Bruno Mars whose Locked Out Of Heaven is enjoying a huge sales boost after being performed on the X Factor results show last Sunday. Sales are up 64% on the week to move it 9-2 in the midweeks, while sales of Def Jam/Mercury act Rihanna's Diamonds are up 33% after featuring on the same programme. As a result it lifts 10-3 on Sales Flashes, although the Barbadian's X Factor appearance cannot prevent sales of her album Unapologetic dropping 53% and it falls 1-3 as a result. As Christmas rapidly approaches, the number of best of albums in the market sharply rises with four debuting inside the midweek Top 20. They are led at 4 by Polydor's Girls Aloud with Ten, while Columbia set The Very Best Of by Neil Diamond arrives at 11, Memory Lane - The Best Of by Island's McFly at 15 and Syco act Il Divo's The Greatest Hits at 19. RCA act Kelly Clarkson's Greatest Hits - Chapter One starts at 25. A new Sony-issued version of Jeff Wayne's The War Of The Worlds, billed as New Generation, is new at 7, while Warner Music Entertainment's Katherine Jenkins debuts at 18 in the week so far with This Is Christmas. It is 13 places behind Reprise/Warner Bros act Michael Buble's own festive set Christmas, which holds at 5, while Rod Stewart's Verve debut Merry Christmas, Baby slips 6-8, despite sales growing by 8%. It swaps places with Virgin act Emeli Sande's Our Version Of Events, which climbs 8-6, while Island act Robbie Williams' Take The Crown falls 9-10 but with a 27% sales hike. This follows a series of shows he played at the O2. Following publicity surrounding their own O2 show at the weekend, sales of The Rolling Stones's Polydor best of GRRR rise 42%, although it drops 11-10, while a Strictly Come Dancing appearance on BBC1 helps to lift sales of The Script's Phonogenic/Epic album #3 by 135% as it climbs 30-22,. Other big sales gainers include Decca act Alfue Boe's Storyteller (+57% as it moves 15-16) and Asylum/Atlantic's Ed Sheeran with + (+32%, although drops 18-24). Alicia Keys' RCA set Girl On Fire is new at 14. The same 10 tracks are among the top 10 singles at this stage of the week as they were last Sunday, but in a different order. Below Olly Murs, Bruno Mars and Rihanna, Syco act Labrinth's Beneath Your Beautiful featuring Emeli Sande holds at 4, Island act Robbie Williams' Candy climbs 8-5 and Alicia Keys' RCA single Girl On Fire drops 5-6. Gabrielle Aplin's Parlophone single The Power Of Love holds at 7 as Island act PSY's Gangnam Style falls 6-8, One Direction's Syco single Little Things slips 3-9 and Decca act The Lumineers' Ho Hey is up 11-10. The midweek chart's highest arrival is Kesha with Die Young on Kemosabe/RCA, while Interscope/Polydor's Imagine Dragons are new at 25 with Hear Me and at 31 with Radioactive. Athlete's 2005 Parlophone single Wires, which peaked at 4, is back in at 26 after being performed by X Factor contestant Rylan Clark in a sing-off, which he lost.

November 26, 201213 yr Author Midweek Charts update: X Factor lifts Mars and Rihanna Source: MW by Paul Willams Bruno Mars and Rihanna's singles are heading back into the UK top three after being performed on The X Factor, but they will not catch Olly Murs. Sales of Mars' Atlantic-issued Locked Out Of Heaven are up 67% on the week so far to lift it 9-2 in midweeks, while Rihanna's Def Jam/Mercury track is up 36% to rise 10-3, according to the Official Charts Company. Both tracks were performed on last Sunday's X Factor results show, the same platform on which the releases currently occupying positions 1, 4, 5 and 6 on the midweeks were also performed in previous weeks. Heading the race, Epic act Olly Murs featuring Flo Rida's Troublemaker is currently ahead by around 11,000 sales and should secure a second week at No 1 on Sunday. Labrinth's Syco single Beneath Your Beautiful featuring Emeli Sande holds at 4, while RCA act Alicia Keys' Girl On Fire remains at 5, while Robbie Williams' Island-issued Candy climbs back up 8-6, no doubt helped by his O2 arena shows in North Greenwhich. Murs is also leading the artist albums midweeks as he looks to simultaneously head both main sales charts for the first time in his career. The newly-issued Epic album Right Place Right Time was nudging 90,000 sales by the end of business on Thursday and should safely accumulate a six-figure sales number by the end of the week, while Syco act One Direction's Take Me Hone holds at 2 and Rihanna's Def Jam/Mercury album Unapologetic drops 1-3. An expanded version of Michael Buble's Reprise/Warner Bros set Christmas lifts 5-4, while Girls Aloud's new Polydor best of Ten is new at 5. There are also Top 10 new entries at this stage of the week from Neil Diamond and Jeff Wayne. Diamond's Columbia set The Very Best Of is at 9 and Wayne's The War Of The Worlds - New Generation from the same record company is at 10. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Friday Update Top 40 Only Singles 1 Olly Murs (11k ahead) 2 Bruno Mars 3 Rihanna 4 Labrinth/Emeli Sande 5 Alcia Keys Top 10 6 Robbie Williams 10 Ke$ha Top 15 Christina Perri Swedish House Mafia/John Martin Top 20 19 Script Top 30 Ed Sheeran Taylor Swift [iKYWT] DJ Fresh 26 Pink Ladywell Primary School 29 Imagine Dragons [Hear Me] 30 Imagine Dragons [Radioactive] Top 40 Athlete Naughty Boy/Emeli Sande 36 Pogues/Kirsty MacColl 39 Mariah Carey Script [sDOS] ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Albums 1 Olly Murs (90k) 2 One Direction 3 Rihanna 4 Mchael Buble 5 Girls Aloud Top 10 8 Robbie Williams 9 Neil Diamond 10 Jeff Wayne Top 15 14 Alicia Keys Top 20 Il Divo 19 McFly Script Top 30 22 Katherine Jenkins 25 Kelly Clarkson NO SALES INFO
November 27, 201213 yr Imagine Dragons could rise up the chart alot just after xmas as airplay hopefully starts for it!
November 27, 201213 yr Olly i believe will land the double this week. Alicia Keys is hard to predict in the albums but i think she will go top 10 at the worst. I hope Girls Aloud can make the top 10 too. I do fear for Kelly Clarkson though i have a dreadful feeling she is going to get lost in all the new releases.
November 27, 201213 yr Think Olly will do the double but don't think his album will match last years opening week sales.
November 27, 201213 yr Anyone seen the uproar the depech mode interview from last weeks Music Week has caused in the papers today - they must have caught up with it and they say Simon Cowell is furious.
November 27, 201213 yr Please let the greatest, greatest hits collection be a surprise top 20 entry :( Come on Kelly!
November 27, 201213 yr Albums: Olly leading by a large margin. One Direction #2 only a couple of hundred copies ahead of Girls Aloud at #3. Mark Fabish @iamfabish Music/Entertainment marketing, communication and events guy who likes to party. Currently working at Sony Music. My views are obvs my own
November 27, 201213 yr Author Mark Fabish @iamfabish @andyjrichardson #3 in the midweeks and only just behind 1D by a couple of hundred copies. A long way to go to catch up to Olly Murs tho https://twitter.com/iamfabish The link reverts to a GA fan by viewing the conversation. I think the top 3 in the albums is 1 Olly Murs 2 OneD 3 GA Rihanna could be down to 4
November 27, 201213 yr https://twitter.com/iamfabish The link reverts to a GA fan by viewing the conversation. I think the top 3 in the albums is 1 Olly Murs 2 OneD 3 GA Rihanna could be down to 4 Yeh, that's the top 3 that I just posted.
November 27, 201213 yr Wonder if Rihannas album has fallen in sales badly after even an XF performance or if the others are selling loads - im not too confident of the previous!! :(
November 27, 201213 yr #1 Olly Murs (45k) #2 1D (18.7k) #3 Girls Aloud (18.6k) #4 Rihanna (17.8k) According to a poster on PopJustice forums. x
November 27, 201213 yr So if GA follow Little Mix's multiplier from last week, they should do about 50,000. Great start.
November 27, 201213 yr It must be a really strong sales week if Rihanna is down to #4 despite her XF performance.
November 27, 201213 yr Olly should do around 120k but sales arent great considering the time oif year imo!
November 27, 201213 yr Hope GA can stick to top 3 by the end of the week, I was expecting them to be around #7/8 so Top 5 is great!
November 27, 201213 yr Author Apparently Kelly Clarkson is #25, I think its the album they are talking about. Andrew Richardson @andyjrichardson @iamfabish is Kelly flopping? :( Thanks for all the info. You rock! Mark Fabish @iamfabish @andyjrichardson She isn't doing great :/ #25 with just over 5k sales https://twitter.com/iamfabish
November 27, 201213 yr On December 15th, ITV1 are showing Ten Years of Girls Aloud their new documentary. So hopefully that'll help sales of Ten from casual buyers in week 4 and the run up to Christmas.
