Oh dear @ Ke$ha!

Why has that Christmas Hits Collective charted in the artists albums - should it not be in the compilations?

Syco need Leona to stay on, they constantly talk about her in relation to how the x factor can turn your life around. Then again, im totally shocked she wasnt wheeled out for the final, maybe it is a sign of the end. Olly Murs is the hottest x factor contestant around now maybe syco will give more focus to him now as he is the only act that has continuously built his career as in each album outperforming the previous where as Leona, JLS etc have done the opposite.

 

It would be an ideal christmas gift to see the spice girls climb in to the top 75 next week. Great to see Kylie climb without the full effect of x factor which i think she will gain from this week.

You don't need much for christmas then :P

Has Santa Baby spent 21 weeks in the top 100 but never peaked above 75? Or is 21 weeks the total for the top 200?

It's an album full of cheap covers.

One Direction say hello.

Olly Murs is outperforming One Direction right now and he's on his third album while 1D are only on their second. On a worldwide scale 1D are obviously bigger but in the UK not so much.

It's an album full of cheap covers.

That's 21 weeks top 200. Only 4 weeks top 100.

Quite a few unexplained re-entries on the singles chart (mainly Skrillex).

 

And quite big changes to the longest running albums list with two of the top 3 albums dropping out, meaning Adele finally claims #1 on her 98th week and Ed Sheeran climbs into 2nd. In the same week Adele finally reaches #1, Emeli Sandé just about sneaks into the top 10 as well.

Ben Howard's longevity with Every Kingdom has been fantastic! Especially after it went 7-38 or something in it's first two weeks.

It's a really good album, very chilled and easy on the ear.

Chasing Cars has dropped back out of the T200 - this time a bit further down, as it's not in the download T200 either.

Where did "O Holy Night" fall to in the end?

No idea, other than straight out of the top 200!
