February 26, 201313 yr I fear Bastille may be a non-number one based on how much Flaws dropped in it's second week. Although you never know, considering how much more higher they currently are than Flaws (#21 I think), it could suggest that they will hold up much better.
February 26, 201313 yr Author I think Bastille have more chance of #1, if the EP ain't shifting, the new JT track from iTunes is a bit late now, most people would have forgot all about the BRITs performance by the end of the week. I do think it will end up in Bastille's favour.
February 26, 201313 yr I can imagine Bastille being #1 tomorrow, then sliding down Gabrielle-style to #2 or #3 by the end of the week, with Justin at #1. Depends on how strong 1D's physicals are selling.
February 26, 201313 yr I think 'Pompeii' could do a 'Feel The Love', with Capital jumping on it in a couple of weeks and giving it good longevity. #1 is difficult to call this week and it doesn't help that 1D physicals and Bastille EP sales are impossible to track. Fingers crossed for sales info tomorrow. If Justin misses #1 then I hope he drops to #3, couldn't COPE with him getting yet another #2 (he's had 4 of them compared to just one #1 as the lead artist plus a further 2 #1s and 2 #2s as a featured artist).

February 27, 201313 yr I think JT will be #1 in the mids and comfortably #1 by Sunday. Although I think both Mirrors and Pompeii are great songs and both deserving of #1. If Bastille managed to somehow do it, it would almost certainly end up being a bit of a Non-Number 1 so I'd rather they were #2 for that reason.
February 27, 201313 yr Author I do fancy Bastille at #1, as its something different, you hardly get a record like "Pompeii" at #1 these days, JT has already had a solo #1 with "Sexyback". :P but whatever happens at least its a decent #1, mind you I wouldn't rule out OneD just yet with their physicals, hopefully we get some sales info later this afternoon. Anyhow I won't be around this afternoon, hopefully someone else will be able to fill you all in, with the chart update from Radio 1.
February 27, 201313 yr Pompeii only at 27 on radio airplay - i take it its too indie for capital fm to be taking a risk of lower audience figures and be playing this on their playlist??

February 27, 201313 yr Mirrors feels kinda dull to me, would've much preferred Bastille to get a shock #1 (to make up for last week's travesty) #2 or 3 would still be an incredible result for Pompeii though Edited February 27, 201313 yr by SevenSeize
February 27, 201313 yr He has 30% lead still with the EP falling now to number 4... and this chart is without today... :) That's great :) Looks good if that's the case.
February 27, 201313 yr Midweek Charts: Timberlake targeting first No 1 since SexyBack Justin Timberlake could be heading for his first UK No 1 single in more than six years as Emeli Sande looks to keep control of the artist albums chart. After flying 28-4 on last Sunday's chart, mainly as a result of being performed at the Brit Awards, Timberlake's RCA single Mirrors has now secured a narrow lead on the midweek listings, according to the Official Charts Company. His only UK singles chart-topper to date is SexyBack in 2006. Timberlake, who also appeared as a guest on Jonathan Ross's ITV1 show last Saturday but did not perform, is currently around 2,000 sales ahead of Pompeii, the brand new single from Virgin Records' south London band Bastille. Pompeii should comfortably become their highest-charting release yet, beating the band's present peak of 21 achieved by Bad Flaws last year, and make Bastille an early new success for Virgin since it came under Universal ownership. Also signed to Virgin, Emeli Sande is continuing to clock up the numbers for the record company's new owner with Our Version Of Events looking to spend its 10th on-consecutive week at No 1 this coming Sunday. Having returned to the top last weekend following her Brits wins and performance, Sande's debut is 42% ahead in the latest midweeks where it faces its closest challenger from Atoms For Peace, a supergroup including Radiohead's Thom Yorke, Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea and record producer Nigel Godrich among its line-up. Their first XL album Amok shows up as a new entry at 2 in the week so far, just a few hundred sales ahead of Mumford & Sons whose Gentlemen Of The Road/Island album Babel slips a place to 3. Atoms For Peace are one of five acts with brand new albums currently among the week's Top 10 sellers. They include Johnny Marr's first solo album The Messenger on Warner Bros at 6 and US artist Josh Groban whose brand new Reprise/Warner Bros set All That Echoes topped the US albums chart a couple of weeks ago and could now score him a first Top 10 album in the UK. It is new at 7 at this stage of the week, five places higher than his current UK chart peak of 12, achieved by Awake in 2006. Rough Trade act Palma Violets' debut 180 shows up at 8, while Michael Buble's new album Both Sides Now via USM Media registers at 9. Just missing out on the Top 10, Porcupine Tree frontman Steven Wilson's K Scope/Snapper album The Raven That Refused To Sing makes its mark on the midweeks at 13. Following his best sales week yet thanks to his Brits performance and two wins, Island's Ben Howard holds at 4 at this stage of the week with Every Kingdom as the Polydor-issued Les Miserables soundtrack remans at 6. Jake Bugg's self-titled Mercury debut slides 6-10. Petula Clark is set to chart with a new studio album for the first time in more than four decades. The Sony-issued Lost In You is new at 23 in the latest Sales Flashes, putting it on course for her first chart album of new material since 1968's The Other Man's Grass Is Greener. Since then a handful of retospectives have charted for her in the UK, most recently Then And Now - The Very Best Of Petula Clark, which reached No 17 in 2008. Other albums set to enter the chart this coming Sunday include another Glee Cast release from Epic and new sets from Caitlin Rose via the Names label, Justin Hayward on Eagle, Hillsong Music's Hillsong United and Rock Action's Mogwai. One Direction last Sunday opened with the highest first-week sales of the year so far to achieve their third UK No 1 single with One Way Or Another (Teenage Kicks). However, the Comic Relief track is now down to 3 in the midweeks with sales sliding 38%. Macklemore & Ryan Lewis's former chart-topper Thrift Shop featuring Wanz on the Macklemore label drops 2-4, while Mercury act Taylor Swift's I Knew You Were Trouble is back up a place to 5. It swaps places with the Positiva/Virgin single I Could Be The One by Avicii Vs Nicky Romero, slipping 5-6. Wiley is looking for a third consecutive Top 10 single (he also reached No 6 as a featured artist on Conor Maynard's Animal) with the Warner Bros-issued Reload featuring Chip new at 7, while Bruno Mars' Atlantic single When I Was Your Man dips 7-8 and Bauuer's YouTube sensation Harlem Shake on the Mad Decent label falls 3-8. After cracking the singles Top 10 for the first time last weekend, Island's Ben Howard slips 9-10 with Only Love. Now, the first cut from their forthcoming, self-titled album, is new at 23 for Fueled By Ramen/Atlantic's Paramore, while RCA's BBC Sound Of 2013 shortlisted Lauara Mvula is new at 25 at this stage of the week with Green Garden.
