December 3, 201213 yr Author Wednesday Update Top 40 Only Top 40 Singles Gabrielle Aplin's cover of The Power Of Love could be heading to No 1 this weekend following a version by X Factor contestant James Arthur and continuing exposure in a John Lewis ad. Top of the chart exactly 28 years ago this week for Frankie Goes To Hollywood, the song has moved 6-1 in the latest midweeks with a lead of around 3,500 sales, according to the Official Charts Company. If it is at No 1 by the time the end-of-week chart is published on Sunday it will be the first chart-topper for the Parlophone Label Group after the rest of EMI was taken over by Universal. The Power Of Love was covered by X Factor finalist James Arthur on last Saturday's show, prompting judge Gary Barlow to describe it as the performance of the series, and this appears to be the main trigger for sales of the Aplin version lifting by 53% week on week and sending the Frankie original - now on the Salvo label via Union Square - rising 59-33. Her cover is also the soundbed to John Lewis's TV Christmas campaign. Just behind Aplin is Olly Murs whose Epic single Troublemaker featuring Flo Rida secured a second week at No 1 last Sunday. As with the albums market, there are no brand new entries among the Top 10 singles sellers at this stage of the week. Below Gabrielle Aplin and Olly Murs, Atlantic act Bruno Mars' Locked Out Of Heaven drops 2-3, Labrinth's Beneath Your Beautiful featuring Emeli Sande holds at 4 and fellow Syco release Little Things by One Direction climbs 9-5. Rihanna's Def Jam/Mercury single Diamonds drops 3-6, while below Pink Kesha's Kemosabe/RCA single Die Young rises 10-8 following her performance on Graham Norton's BBC One show last Friday. The Top 10 sellers at this point in the week are completed by RCA act Alicia Keys' Girl On Fire dropping 5-9 and Robbie Williams' Island single Candy falling 7-10. Universal's revived London Records label under Nick Raphael and Jo Charrington is heading for a first big hit with Don't Stop The Party by Pitbull featuring Jr new at 15 on the midweeks, while Island act Angel arrives at 34 with Time After Time. 1 Gabrielle Aplin (3.5k lead) 2 Olly Murs/ Flo Rida 3 Bruno Mars 4 Labrinth/ Emeli Sande 5 One Direction 6-10 7 Pink 8 Ke$ha 11-20 12 Tulisa 14 Adele 15 Pitbull 16 Taylor Swift (IKYWT) 19 The Pogues/ Kirsty MacColl 21-30 23 Mariah Carey 24 DJ Fresh 31-40 32 The Script 33 Frankie Goes To Hollywood 34 Angel 35 One Direction (Kiss You) 36 Jimmy Higham/ Jon Walmsley 40 Wham! http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/chart/update/singles/print =================================================== Top 40 Albums While he has his work cut out topping the singles chart for another week, Murs looks more likely to continue to lead the artist albums chart with Right Place Right Time presently 8,000 sales in front. It heads a market in which no brand new album has managed to penetrate the Top 10 sellers with the highest arrival at 16 Jools Holland and his Rhythm and Blues Orchestra's Rhino-issued The Golden Age Of Song. It is six places higher than The Female Boss, the newly-issued debut solo album from AATW/Island's Tulisa who had the benefit of an X Factor performance last Sunday. The track she performed, Sight Of You, currently registers as a new entry at 12 on the midweek singles chart. RCA's Pink also performed on the same show as Tulisa but is benefiting more with sales of her album The Truth About Love rising 195% on the week to lift it 28-9 in the midweeks as I Try, which she performed, improves 26-7 on the singles listings. Completing the show's star line-up was Rod Stewart who sees sales of his Verve/Decca album Merry Christmas, Baby rising 38% on the week and moving 5-4 on Sales Flashes. However, Michael Buble's Reprise/Warner Bros-issued Christmas continues to be the biggest festive seller with its own sales up 65% to climb 4-2 as Syco act One Direction's Take Me Home drops 2-3, Def Jam/Mercury's Rihanna falls 3-5 with Unapologetic and Virgin act Emeli Sande's Our Version Of Events lifts 7-6. Sande's album swaps places with Robbie Williams' Island set Take The Crown, which drops 6-7, while Columbia's The Very Best Of by Neil Diamond holds at 8 and Decca's Alfie Boe moves back into the Top 10 sellers, climbing 14-10 with Storyteller with sales up 42%. Besides Jools Holland and Tulisa, other new albums set to chart this Sunday include a self-titled album from Relentless's Only Boys Aloud and the Reprise-issued Bee Gees overview Mythology. 1 Olly Murs (8k lead) 2 Michael Buble 3 One Direction 4 Rod Stewart 5 Rihanna 6-10 6 Emeli Sande 9 Pink 10 Alfie Boe 11-20 14 Calvin Harris 16 Jools Holland 17 Munford & Sons 21-30 21 Paloma Faith 22 Tulisa 27 Only Boys Aloud 31-40 34 Bee Gees 39 Andrea Bocelli http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/chart/update/albums/print
December 3, 201213 yr Author Midweek Charts update: Christmas joy for Buble Source: MW by Paul Willams Michael Buble's Christmas is poised to break through 1.5 million UK sales imminently as it this week mounts the biggest chart-topping challenge to Olly Murs. A year after the Reprise/Warner Bros title dominated the festive market, spending a week at No 1 in November and then returning there for a fortnight at the end of the year, it looks like doing it all again having already sold another 55,000 copies this week, according to the Official Charts Company. That is enough to move it 4-2 in the latest midweeks behind Murs' Epic album Right Place Right Time, which is comfortably at No 1. By the end of business on Thursday Buble's Christmas had sold 1.45 million copies in total in the UK, leaving it just 50,000 copies short of 1.5 million. It should achieve that in the next few days. Christmas is joined in the latest midweeks by another seasonal title, Rod Stewart's Verve debut Merry Christmas, Baby, which climbs 5-4 to sit behind Syco act One Direction's Take Me Home, which drops 2-3. Def Jam/Mercury's Rihhana falls 3-5 with Unapologetic. Decca act Alfie Boe has moved into the Top 10 positions, climbing 14-9 with Storyteller, which RCA's Pink is just outside with The Truth About Love lifting 28-11 following her performance on The X Factor last Sunday, while I Try which she performed climbs 26-7 on singles. Gabrielle Aplin's The Power Of Love remains a few thousand sales in front on singles as the Parlophone Label Group looks for its first No 1 since breaking away from the rest of EMI. Olly Murs' Epic single Troublemaker featuring Flo Rida is just behind at 2, having topped the chart for a second week last Sunday, while Bruno Mars' Atlantic-issued Locked Out Of Heaven falls 2-3, Syco act Labrinth featuring Emeli Sande's Beneath Your Beautiful holds at 4 and One Direction's Syco single Little Things climbs 9-5. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Friday Update Top 40 Only Singles 1 Gabrielle Aplin 2 Olly Murs/Flo Rida 3 Bruno Mars 4 Labrinth/Emeli Sande 5 One Direction Top 10 7 P!nk 8 Ke$ha Top 15 13 Taylor Swift Tulisa Adele Top 20 Pitbull/TJR 18 Pogues/Kirsty MacColl Top 30 21 Mariah Carey DJ Fresh Top 40 31 Wizzard 32 Script [sDOS] 34 Wham! 37 Angel Slade Band Aid ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Albums 1 Olly Murs 2 Michael Buble (55k) 3 One Direction 4 Rod Stewart 5 Rihanna Top 10 Neil Diamond Alfie Boe Top 15 11 P!nk 14 Calvin Harris Mumford & Sons Top 20 Jools Holland Paloma Faith Ed Sheeran Top 30 fun.

December 4, 201213 yr Hoping for Gabrielle Aplin to clinch the no1 this week or else Olly for a third week - just hope sales don;t fall below 60k for the no1!
December 4, 201213 yr Will any of the new albums debut in top ten? Tulisa might, Kesha probably won't.

December 4, 201213 yr I expect it to be the other way round. :) I don't see either of them making the top 10, maybe even top 20 as much as I badly want Ke$ha to succeed. I just hope Tulisa doesn't outchart her.

December 4, 201213 yr Ouch at Tulisa! And I thought the likes of Alexandra flopped badly (I guess she still did). Can't say I'm sad though. Bad attitude earlier on in the industry deserves a bad reputation. Hopefully Bruno is #1 despite not being #1 on iTunes anymore. Lets hope he overtakes TPOL and Olly.
