Given this time last week it was #4 in the update and fell to #9, now 3 days later it is down another 9 places it stands little chance of being top 20 still come Sunday. Probably around #25.

 

I'm not sure that logic works for the 2nd week of release. The album was hugely frontloaded last week as GA have a large fanbase who bought it on the first day

Kylie does not appear in the top 40, it would id ideal if that changes on the sunday chart.

Ke$ha - Warrior is also not in the top 40 :o

Little Mix are doing surprisingly well at #12, if they can hold there (They actually increased from their 1st 2 weeks mid week positions in the final chart the last 2 Sundays) then they could pass platinum sales or be close by the end of the year.

Is this due to be Beneath Your Beautiful’s fourth consecutive week at number four?! :o So glad P!nk is in the Top 10, I just hope it doesn’t start plummeting after this week is done.

 

Michael Buble’s Christmas up to number 2 – could easily be number one some point this year, maybe next week! P!nk returning to the Top 10! :cheer: Could give her an extra 40k of sales this week! Kylie out of the Top 40, but will hopefully return by Sunday since she is performing on the Saturday of the X Factor Final.

Ke$ha - Warrior makes Tulisa's album look like a smash hit.

Ke$ha spectacularly bombing. Wonderful.

 

Tulisa not even the highest new entry as Jools Holland & His Rhythm & Blues Orchestra 'The Golden Age Of Song' is at #16, left out of Lee's list (along with a ton of other stuff including The Pogues climbing to #19 woo).

 

Rod Stewart will probably have very strong weekend sales so I could see 2 Christmas albums in the top 3 this week! OCC haven't posted the gap between Olly and Bublé but I wouldn't be surprised if Bublé is actually not far behind and overtakes with weekend sales.

That IS a surprise considering how it was the highest new release this week on iTunes when I last checked!

Ooft! Kelly C only down to #30 I feel her sales are remaining stable then! :wub: McFly's greatest hits at the bottom end of the top 40 already though :s Girls Aloud taking a hefty fall, too. :\ Little Mix are holding up very well! Hopefully they can, indeed climb a couple of places from todays position come Sunday. I'm sure their album will sell next week. I can't not see them on Sundays X Factor. (And 'Change Your Life' would be really fitting for the finale!)

Wiz Khalifa's album is higher but he's even more reliant on downloads than Ke$ha, his last album only got to #47 and this one will probably be lucky to go top 100.

 

Skepta's new album is now the highest actually (and even Jools Holland is higher on iTunes, 'Warrior' is still ahead of 'The Female Boss' though).

It will probably fall out of the Top 40 come Sunday, but then haven't they got that 1 hour special on ITV just before the X Factor final on Saturday? Which means it should be back in the Top 40 the week after.

Calvin Harris' album climbing in its sixth week top 20 - his last album only had 5 weeks in the top 40 so this is doing far, far better. Did 'Ready For The Weekend' even outsell his debut? And if not is '18 Months' likely to?

So pleased to see Olly will hopefully make it two weeks with 'Right Place Right Time'. It'll make up for 'Troublemaker' not getting a third week anyway. I prefer the original of 'The Power of Love' so much more!

What is this madness at Ke$ha not being top 40 :o

 

She was on Graham Norton too wasn't she!?? :drama: The album is actually amazing!

Download albums % is probably well down by this stage of the year. Normally its nearly 40% of the market in December it must be half that or less!
