February 19, 201313 yr Still think the 1D song will bounce about the top 10 until after comic relief!!
February 19, 201313 yr Good chance for Robbie to get Platinum status for Candy after this week: Candy has ~588k right now. It will be his third single as Platinum.
February 20, 201313 yr “If anyone can keep the likes of Harlem Shake from the top spot, One Direction can! Roll on Sunday’s final whistle.”" Um, wow. :lol:
February 20, 201313 yr Author Midweek Charts: Nick Cave vying for first No 1 Source: MW by Paul Willams Nick Cave could top the UK artist albums chart for the first time this weekend after taking an early lead in the midweeks. The album in question, Push The Sky Away with The Bad Seeds, is the first to be released on Cave's own Bad Seed label via Kobalt's Label Services and by the end of Tuesday was 72% ahead of its nearest rival, according to the Official Charts Company. Even if the album does not end up at No 1 by the time the week's full chart is published on Sunday, it will still mark a rare presence in the UK Top 10 for the Australian. He has only twice previously made the Top 10, reaching a peak of 4 on 2008 with Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!! on Mute Records. Ahead of the Brit Awards, where her nominations include UK Album of the Year, Emeli Sande is creeping up the rankings with her Virgin debut Our Version Of Events gaining a place since last Sunday's chart to No 2. Polydor's Les Miserables soundtrack drops 1-3, while Warner Bros act Foals' Holy Fire falls 2-4 and Jake Bugg's self-titled Mercury album slides 4-5. Mumford & Sons' second Gentlemen Of The Road/Island album Babel is up 5-6 in the week so far. As Bruno Mars' Atlantic-issued Unorthodox Jukebox holds at 7, veteran Joe Cocker is looking to score a Top 10 album for the first time since 2007's Hymns For My Soul. The newly-issued Columbia set Fire It Up registers as a new entry at 8 in the latest midweeks. Below it, the Rhino/Warner Bros reissue Rumours by Fleetwood Mac loses three places to 9, while Columbia's Calvin Harris is looking to return to the Top 10 with 18 Months currently up two places to 10. Sales of Taylor Swift's Mercury album Red are up 50% on the week as it vaults back up 25-12, while a 44% sales gain for The Script's Epic/Phonogenic set Number 3 lifts it 36-25. Syco's One Direction appear on course for their third UK No 1 single following 2010's What Makes You Beautiful and 2011's Little Things with their Comic Relief mash-up One Way Or Another (Teenage Kicks) set to debut at the top. The cover will easily deliver new chart peaks for the two Seventies songs. Blondie's One Way Or Another, which was part of the Parallel Lines album, was not a UK hit single, while The Undertones' Teenage Kicks only ventured as high as 31 in 1978, despite its now classic status. The One Direction track is the only brand new release to appear anywhere among the Top 40 sellers in the week so far, while among the Top 10 the only other arrival is Mercury act Taylor Swift's I Knew You Were Trouble reviving 12-10. Macklemore & Ryan Lewis featuring Wanz's former No 1 Thrift Shop, on the Macklemore label, holds at 2, while the Mad Decent label's Harlem Shake by Baauer remains at 3. Having debuted at 1 last Sunday, the Positiva/Virgin single I Could Be The One by Avicii versus Nicky Romero drops to 4 in the latest midweeks as Bruno Mars' Atlantic-issued When I Was Your Man gains two places to 5. The Rihanna Def Jam/Mercury single Stay featuring Mikky Ekko is down 4-6 and the Island/PMR offering White Noise by Disclosure featuring AlunaGeorge drops 5-7. Also down two places is Parlophone act Gabrielle Aplin's Please Don't Say You Love Me to No 8 as Columbia signing Calvin Harris's Drinking From The Bottle featuring Tinie Tempah falls 8-9. Among the big sales increases outside the Top 10 RCA act Justin Timberlake's Sit & Tie featuring Jay-Z is back up 16-12 with sales improving 30% thanks to the roll-out of its promotional video. Polydor's Ellie Goulding is up 21-14 with Explosions with a 34% sales rise. RCA act Pink's Just Give Me A Reason featuring Nate Ruess sees its sales lift 25% to move it 24-20, while sales rise 674% on the week for Epic act Olly Murs' Army Of Two to lift it 89-25. Meanwhile, sales of the Interscope/Polydor cut Clarity by Zedd featuring Foxes double as it improves 37-31 on the midweeks.

February 20, 201313 yr Didn't see that one coming. I imagine Emeli will take it after the Brits tonight though
February 20, 201313 yr That's surprising for Nick Cave. I know his last album went top 5, but didn't expect this to do so well, especially as he didn't have a big radio single to trail it (like Dig Lazarus Dig).
February 20, 201313 yr Emeli Sande will definitely be #1 on Sunday when she inevitably wins the award for Best Album at the BRITS. None of the new entries impress me today :( The Script's new one is better than I expected it would be but still not a fan.
February 20, 201313 yr I think I'd rather Macklemore returning to number one than One Direction's crappy cover getting there. Suit and Tie returning to the Top 10 would be great after only spending on week there previously. Great to see Just Give Me a Reason in the Top 20 too! Hopefully it won't be pushed out due to the BRITs (although I'm sure it is higher than #20 on iTunes at the moment, so it should be safe). Get Up (Rattle) looking more and more likely to be a non-number one. :( Such a lead for Nick Cave considering! :o No doubt Emeli Sande will easily close the gap and overtake. Rumours still doing well, but very likely to be pushed out of the Top 10 by Taylor Swift and probably One Direction. Very pleased with most of the climbs on today's update chart tbh.
February 20, 201313 yr If 1D are 20k ahead, I guess that means they'll more than likley hold on till Sunday won't they? And woohoo for The Script sneaking into the Top 40 :dance: Top 30 next week please! EDIT: Oh and let's have a woohoo for Tyler James too :dance: Edited February 20, 201313 yr by mango
February 20, 201313 yr Wow at 1D's lead! Hopefully that means they can secure the #1 on Sunday, especially considering the BRITs boost tonight. :D
February 20, 201313 yr That new Script song is brilliant. I really hope that it makes the Top 40 on Sunday. I'm not so keen on the Olly Murs song though. I wondered how everyone would react when We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together was played. :lol:
February 20, 201313 yr That new Script song is brilliant. I really hope that it makes the Top 40 on Sunday. Yes! Finally some much-deserved BJ love for If You Could See Me Now :D
February 20, 201313 yr 1D have sold at least 51.5k (and therefore Macklemore at least 30k, as 1D have a ~20k lead) as the OCC report says their sales in the week so far have already surpassed the entire first week of 'Walk This Way' in 2007. The numbers could be a fair amount higher than that as it doesn't say by how much 1D have surpassed 'Walk This Way'. Looks like 1D do still have the #1 very much in the bag as I can't see Macklemore closing 20k especially with the BRITs. Hopefully they're in for a rather large fall next week though. Yay for the climbs today for 'Suit & Tie'/'Explosions'/'Skyfall', 'Army Of Two' being top 25 and Tyler James being top 40 :D Quite surprised to see The Script already in the top 40 too, although then again they do have a second version top 100 now. Looks like 'If You Could See Me Now' will outpeak 'Six Degrees Of Separation'! And YAY for Foals' album holding onto the top 5, definitely looking like this album will be far bigger than their first two :D Also nice to see Nick Cave currently #1 and with a good lead, it obviously won't last with the BRITs coming up though. And Adele looking set for a 100th week top 40 woo.
February 20, 201313 yr Author Only 2 new albums inside the 40, there are a lot of climbers in the chart, the biggest faller seems to be Bullet For My Valentine from #11 down to #36 ouch...
February 20, 201313 yr Sadly the Brits well cement the fact Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds will not be number 1 on Sunday, i would be thrilled to see them sitting at number 1 but its extremely obvious that Emeli Sande will be reclaiming the number 1 slot once again. It also looks certain One Direction will be number 1 which i am happy about,i would be disappointed if they lost out now with having such a lead build up and a Brit performance to with it. I do think the Brit Awards will have a big impact on the album chart. Nice week it looks for Olly Murs Army of two continues to climb and climb and his album also jumps 10 places right back in to the top 20, also great to see Little Mix's album following the same trend.
