Midweek Charts: Les Miserables continues to dominate

Source: MW

by Paul Willams

 

 

Les Miserables is set to continue to lead the UK artist albums chart this weekend as I Am Kloot head for a new peak.

 

The Polydor-issued motion picture cast recording is presently outselling its three nearest rivals combined, according to the Official Charts Company, mounting a 181% sales lead over closest challenger Our Version Of Events by Virgin's Emeli Sande.

 

At present the top four sellers are in exactly the same order as they were last Sunday with Les Miserables at 1, Sande at 2, Jake Bugg's self-titled Mercury album at 3 and Columbia act Calvin Harris's 18 Months at 4. Just below them I Am Kloot are on course for a new career chart peak with the album Let It All In on their Shepherd Moon label presently registering as a new entry at 5. Their current highest position on the countdown is 24, achieved by last album Sky At Night in 2010.

 

Joining I Am Kloot in the Top 10 at present is Adam Ant whose last studio album Wonderful reached 24 in 1995. His new set Adam Ant Is The Blueblack Hussar In Marrying The Guner's Daughter, released on the Blueblack Hussar label, is new at 9 at this stage of the week.

 

Def Jam/Mercury's Rihanna holds at 6 with Unapologetic and Bruno Mars' Atlantic album Unorthodox Jukebox climbs 10-7, while Asylum/Atlantic's Ed Sheeran falls 8-9 with + and Syco's One Direction gain a place to 10 with Take Me Home.

 

There are four brand new albums between positions 11 and 20 in the latest midweeks, led by Welsh band Blackout's new Cooking Vinyl set Start The Party at 12. Five-piece Mallory Knox's Signals, issued on the A Wolf At Your Door label, is new at 15, while another Welsh act - Canvasback/Atlantic's Joy Formidable - are at 16 with Wolf's Law. Decca-signed Italian composer Ludovico Einaudi's new studio set In A Time Lapse makes a first appearance at 18.

 

Following his performance on Graham Norton's BBC One chat show last Friday Parlophone's Conor Maynard sees sales of his debut album rise 75% on the week to move it 86-67 on the midweeks. More spectacularly, his single Animal featuring Wiley is up 34-4 with sales quadrupling. It is poised to become his fourth UK Top 10 single. Also gaining because of a high-profile TV appearance are Madness whose Cooking Vinyl album Oui Oui Si Si Ja Ja Da Da is up 76-22 following them chatting and performing on Jonathan Ross's ITV1 programme.

 

Dutch dance duo Bingo Players are heading for No 1 on the singles chart this Sunday with the Ministry of Sound release Get Up (Rattle) around 14,500 sales in front. At 2 is the Interscope/Polydor-issued Scream & Shout by will.i.am featuring Britney Spears, having secured a second week at 1 last weekend, while Mercury's Taylor Swift gains a place to 3 with I Knew You Were Trouble.

 

Rihanna's Def Jam/Mercury track Stay featuring Mikky Ekko holds at 5 as the Columbia pairing of Calvin Harris and Tinie Tempah with Drinking From The Bottle continue at 6. Having debuted at 2 last Sunday, the Interscope/Polydor release My Life by 50 Cent, Eminem and Adam Levine falls to 7 in the week so far, while Syco act James Arthur's Impossible is down 7-8, Xenomania/RCA signing Amelia Lilly's second single Shut Up (And Give Me Whatever You Got) is new at 9 and VIrgin's Emeli Sande climbs 11-10 with Clown.

 

Meanwhile, having debuted at 3 last Sunday Justin Timberlake's brand new RCA single Suit & Tie with Jay-Z already looks like heading out of the Top 10 as it drops to 11 on the midweeks with a 56% sales fall.

Midweek Charts update: I Am Kloot in possible Top 10 first

Source: MW

by Paul Willams

 

I Am Kloot are heading for their highest-charting album yet in the UK with the newly-issued Let It All In currently locked in the midweek Top 10.

 

The album, issued on the band's Shepherd's Moon label via EMI Services, is showing up as a new entry at No 6 in the latest Sales Flashes, according to the Official Charts Company. That is 18 places higher than the group's best chart ranking of No 24, achieved by their previous album Sky At Night in 2010.

 

Polydor's Les Miserables soundtrack is on course to spend a second week at No 1 on Sunday with a 164% sales lead up to the end of business on Thursday over second-placed Our Version Of Events by Virgin's Emeli Sande, who was also at 2 on last Sunday's chart. Columbia act Calvin Harris's 18 Months climbs a place to 3 to swap places with Jake Bugg's self-titled Mercury album, while the Def Jam/Mercury-issued Unapologetic by Rihanna climbs 6-5.

 

New albums arriving outside the Top 10 include releases by Adam Ant and Italian composer Ludovico Einaudi, while in the singles market Dutch DJs and production duo Bingo Players are heading to No 1 this weekend with their brand new Ministry of Sound track Get Up (Rattle) featuring Far East Movement. Below them, will.i.am featuring Britney Spears' single Scream & Shout drops 1-2, Mercury's Taylor Swift climbs 4-3 with I Knew You Were Trouble, the Def Jam/Mercury track Stay by Rihanna featuring Mikky Ekko is up 5-4 and Parlophone signing Conor Maynard vaults 34-5 with Animal featuring Wiley following his performance on Graham Norton's BBC One show last Friday.

My 100,000 post :o

Pretty sure it is this Almighty remix that is propelling Amelia Lily into the top 10 at the moment. http://spoti.fi/VhyjDq #Spotify

@poptartsuk she's top ten in the midweeks? there is a god

My 100,000 post :o

The Almighty remix isn't even in the top 1500 on iTunes. He probably means the EP sales are boosting it. Most new releases with EPs do a lot better in the mid-weeks than you expect based on the iTunes feed.

I think it's an ironic way of saying 'this remix is amazing', rather than an actual theory on how it's making the top ten.

Some Twitter info - Far East Movement #1

 

WHOO RT“@cherrytreerec: Congrats to @fareastmovement who's collab with the Bingo Players "Get Up" is at #1 on the official UK midweek chart”
Mallory Knox Top 5 in the album chart -

 

Go and buy our debut album #SIGNALS at this link! Help us stay in the top 5 for the midweek chart!

 

 

 

Adam Ant #3! Guessing sales at the top end of the chart are not going to be great if Adam Ant and Mallory Knox are both Top 5 at the moment!

 

Adam Ant album is number 3 in the midweek charts. We review the album here.
Adam Ant top 3 :o Looking forward to Jameela reading out the rather bizarre title on Sunday then :P
Really is a blast from the past music icons return year after all.

 

Although it looks like the trend of albums charting highly then plummeting is set to continue this year - We saw loads of acts with a strong fanbase take advantage of the low sales by scoring Top 10 albums last year only to be out of the Top 100 several weeks later.

I'm sure Cliff Richard will release his zillionth album this year as well.

Griff thought it would be in the Sunday Chart Prediction thread! :P

 

Where do I collect my money from? :D

Should be some nice sales for Bingo Players if they carry on their dominance of the itunes chart :)
