February 4, 201313 yr Author Midweek Charts: Courteeners leading album sales Source: MW by Paul Willams The Courteeners' post-Polydor chart career is off to a flying start with their V2/Cooperative Music debut Anna topping the UK midweek artist albums countdown. The Rochdale group's third album was around 2,500 sales in front by the end of business on Tuesday, according to the Official Charts Company, although will have its work cut out to remain at No 1 by the time the final chart is published this Sunday. However, even if it cannot hang on, Anna will still have a chance of becoming the band's highest-charting album yet following the Polydor albums St Jude and Falcon, which peaked at 4 and 6 respectively. Three other brand new albums are among the Top 10 sellers at this stage of the week, led at No 7 by Atlantic-signed Scottish band Frightened Rabbit's fourth offering Pedestrian Verse. At 8 is the Eels' V2/Cooperative album Wonderful Glorious - the last time the US act finished in the Top 10 was with Daisies Of The Galaxy in 2000 - and Devlin's second 4th & Broadway/Island album A Moving Picture is at 10. Having given them their first chart-topper last Sunday, Biffy Clyro's 14th Floor/Warner Bros-issued Opposites drops to 3 with sales down 73% in the week to date. Ahead of it, Polydor's Les Miserables soundtrack holds at 2 and Virgin's Emeli Sande remains at 4 with Our Version Of Events but with sales rising 26%. Jake Bugg's self-titled Mercury album gains a place to 5 as sales rocket 176% and Rhino/Warner Bros's expanded Rumours by Fleetwood Mac falls 3-6. Decca act Andrea Bocelli holds at 9 with Passione. Girls Aloud member Kimberley Walsh's first solo album Centre Stage crops up as a new entry at 14 at this stage ahead, a place ahead of fellow Decca act Richard Clayderman's brand new album Romantique. Also released in the UK via Decca, the Big Machine label's The Mavericks are new at 19 with In Time, their first newe studio album since 2003. Also set to debut in the chart this Sunday are new albums from Vertigo/Mercury's Pure Love, Columbia's Destiny's Child with new retrospective Love Songs, Cooking Vinyl's Ron Sexsmith and V2's Coheed & Cambria. Macklemore & Ryan Lewis look like emulating their US chart-topping status on this side of the Atlantic with Thrift Shop featuring Wanz climbing 2-1 on the midweek singles. The single, released on the Macklemore label, has seen its sales lift 209% on the week and is almost outselling by two copies to one its closest challenger, the Island-issued White Noise by Disclosure with AlunaGeorge. Virgin act Emeli Sande's Clown rises 8-3, while Ministry of Sound's Bingo Players drop to 4 with Get Up (Rattle) featuring Far East Movement having secured a second week at No 1 last weekend. Illinois band Fall Out Boy are heading for their first UK Top 10 hit since 2007's This Ain't A Scene, It's An Arms Race with the Def Jam/Mercury-issued My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark new at 5 in the latest Sales Flashes. Will.i.am drops 3-6 with the Interscope/Polydor-issued Scream & Shout featuring Britney Spears, while Def Jam/Mercury's Rihanna slips 5-7 with Stay featuring Mikky Ekko and the Columbia-issued Drinking From The Bottle by Calvin Harris featuring Tinie Tempah falls by the same amount to 8. Mercury signing Taylor Swift is down 4-9 with I Knew You Were Trouble, while Dirtee Skank/Island's Dizzee Rascal races 14-10 with Bassline Junkie with sales up 51%. Among the big sales gainers outside the Top 10, Syco's Little Mix enjoy a 140% hike to move 31-12 with Change Your Life after they performed it on Graham Norton's BBC One chat show last Friday.

February 4, 201313 yr Author Midweek Charts update: Les Miserables pushing for No1 return Source: MW by Paul Willams The Les Miserables soundtrack could be heading back to the top of the UK artist albums chart this weekend after opening a narrow lead over The Courteeners and Biffy Clyro. With their first album after leaving Polydor, The Courteneers began the week with the top-selling artist album as the V2/Cooperative Music-issued Anna led the midweeks, according to Official Charts Company data. However, they have now slipped to 2 to be replaced by Polydor's Les Miserables soundtrack. This ended a two-week run at No 1 last Sunday when it was succeeded by the 14th Floor/Warner Bros release Opposites by Biffy Clyro. Virgin's Emeli Sande holds at 4 with Our Version Of Events as Jake Bugg's self-titled Mercury album gains a place to 5 with sales up 166%. Besides The Courteneers, two other acts have Top 10 new entries in the week so far with Atlantic's Frightened Rabbit at 7 with Pedestrian Verse and The Eels' V2/Cooperative album Wonderful Glorious arrives at 10. Having just secured a third week at No 1 in the US, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis will compete a trans-Atlantic chart-topping double on Sunday with Thrift Shop featuring Wanz. The track, issued on the Macklemore label, leads the midweek singles chart by a hefty 28,000 sales based on trading up to the end of business on Thursday. It was No 2 on last weekend's chart. Behind Thrift Shop, the Island release White Noise by Disclosure with AlunaGeorge makes a swift 28-2 leap as Emeli Sande's Virgin single Clown climbs 8-3. Fall Out Boy's comeback Def Jam/Mercury single My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark is new at 4 in the week so far and Bingo Players' Ministry of Sound single Get Up (Rattle) drops to 5 having secured a second week at No 1 last Sunday. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Friday Update Top 40 Only Singles 1 Macklemore/Ryan Lewis/Wanz (28k lead) 2 Disclosure/AlunaGeorge 3 Emeli Sande 4 Fall Out Boy 5 Bingo Players/Far East Movement Top 10 10 Dizzee Rascal Top 15 12 Little Mix 13 Lawson Top 20 Ellie Goulding Top 30 30 The Fray Top 40 31 Labrinth/Emeli Sande Imagine Dragons One Direction [Little Things] Nickelback ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Albums 1 Les Miserables 2 Courteeners 3 Biffy Clyro 4 Emeli Sande 5 Jake Bugg Top 10 Frightened Rabbit 10 Eels Top 15 12 Richard Clyderman 14 Devlin Top 20 16 Kimberley Walsh Top 30 Eva Cassidy The Mavericks Top 40 Mick Hucknall Pure Love 37 Destiny's Child NO SALES INFO
February 4, 201313 yr Would be great if Devlin could reach the Top 10 with this album after getting two Top 10 singles. It should at least beat the peak of her last album (#21). A Top 20 placing for Kimberley Walsh would be great too!
February 4, 201313 yr Not sure how Kimberley will do - She needs to sell 8k to go Top 20 but seeing as her single didnt bother the Top 200 and there seems to be no excitement about the album release she could easily fail to make Top 20.

She was really well liked on Strictly, so I'm hoping that is in her favor. I guess the album needs to be at least Top 15 in order to reach Top 20 for Sunday (if I remember rightly, Nicola Roberts' album was #11 on Tuesday and Top 15 Wednesday to Friday then reached #17 on Sunday).
February 5, 201313 yr Disclosure are at number 3 disclosure_uk We are number 3 in the midweek chart! MASSIVE thanks to everyone that has bought the single so far!! http://twitter.com/disclosure_uk/status/298752642514034690
February 5, 201313 yr Tweeted by Recordstore Congrats to the Courteeners too, as they're number 1 in the midweeks at the moment. You can pick up "ANNA" here bit.ly/XdYhUN Pmrrecords @disclosure_uk WHITE NOISE Ft AlunaGeorge is at No. 3 in the Midweeks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GASSED
February 5, 201313 yr Not much in Twitter although this mentions that The Eels are Top 10 - Sales must be horrendous this week so far!! Good to see V2 / Co-operative Music alive & kicking...2 albums in the top 10 midweeks. Well done Courteeneers & eels
February 5, 201313 yr Hopefully Kimberley will sell enough to manage top 15, 8,000 sales would ensure that for her. I hope she starts of promising in the midweeks as her position will certainly drop through out the week.
February 5, 201313 yr Fair play to the Courteeners at no1 theyve had no radio support!! Biffy or LM will be no1 by sunday though!!
February 5, 201313 yr The Courteneers 5k in the lead! Courteeners are #1 in today’s album midweek charts with thid record Anna. They are currently 5000 sales ahead of the competition.
February 5, 201313 yr Kimberley Walsh #14 - Kimberley Walsh's debut album Centre Stage is currently No.14 in today's midweek charts. @KimberleyJWalsh #midweeks
February 5, 201313 yr http://www.dingsme.info/avatar8.jpgWould be great if Devlin could reach the Top 10 with this album after getting two Top 10 singles.
February 5, 201313 yr Author Not bad for the Courteeners with a 5k lead, but Biffy could still manage a second week, most likely they will return back to top.
February 5, 201313 yr Will probably be a Tenacious D situation again with Biffy overhauling that lead as Keane did last year. Good on the Courteeners though, I suspected they'd get their highest position to date when "Lose Control" did okay OA/OS but haven't seen a lot of hype around for the album.
