March 11, 201313 yr Author Midweek Charts: Bowie comeback to deliver No 1 Source: MW by Paul Willams David Bowie is set to extend his run of UK chart-topping albums to nearly 40 years with The Next Day currently outselling its four nearest rivals combined. The RCA-issued comeback will top the chart this Sunday, his ninth No 1 in all and his first since Black Tie White Noise in 1993. It will hit the top just several weeks shy of Bowie's first albums chart-topper reaching No 1, Aladdin Sane, which climbed to the top in May 1973. Sales of The Next Day had already surpassed 65,000 units by the end of Tuesday, according to the Official Charts Company, outscoring the collective totals of the four albums immediately below it. These are led by Mercury act Bon Jovi's brand new album What About Now whose midweek showing as a new entry at 2 matched the peak of their 2010 retrospective Greatest Hits and their last studio set, 2009's The Circle. Emeli Sande's Our Version Of Events drifts 2-3 in the midweeks, while her Virgin colleagues Bastille drop 1-4 with Bad Blood. Atlantic act Bruno Mars' Unorthodox Jukebox declines 4-5, while Major Label/Epic signings Hurt's second album Exile arrives at 6. Their debut Happiness reached No 4 in 2010. The rest of the Top 10 at this stage of the week is completed by fallers: Stereophonics drop 3-7 with Graffiti On The Train on the Stylus/Ignition label, Polydor's Les Miserables album is down 6-8, Gentlemen Of The Road/Island act Mumford & Sons' Babel slips 8-9 and RCA act Dido's Girl Who Got Away falls 5-10. John Grant will easily beat the peak of his first Bella Union album Queen Of Denmark, which reached 59 in 2010, with follow-up Pale Green Ghosts new at 11 in the latest Sales Flashes. The Columbia-issued soundtrack to Dave Grohl's documentary Sound City - Real To Reel about the famous LA studios is new at 13 in the midweeks, while 4AD act Stornoway's second album Tales From Terra Firma is new at 20. The outfit's Beachcomber's Windowsill reached 14 in 2010. Little more than 1,000 sales currently separate the top two singles this week with Interscope/Polydor's Nicole Scherzinger just ahead with her brand new release Boomerang, which she performed on Jonathan Ross's ITV1 chat show last Saturday. Behind it at 2 is Justin Timberlake's RCA offering Mirrors, which achieved a second week at No 1 last weekend. Bruno Mars' Atlantic single When I Was Your Man falls 2-3, while RCA at Pink holds at 4 with Just Give Me A Reason featuring Nate Ruess and Virgin's Bastille drop 3-5 with Pompeii. One Direction hold at 6 at this stage of the week with the RCA track One Way Or Another (Teenage Kicks), while the Macklemore label's former No 1 Thrift Shop by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis featuring Wanz drops 5-7. Disney Channel star Bridgit Mendler's Hollywood/Polydor single Ready Or Not slips to 7 having debuted at 7 last Sunday and Avicii Vs Nicky Romero's Positiva/Virgin-issued I Could Be The One falls 8-9. Meanwhile, Disclosure's Island/PMR track White Noise featuring AlunaGeorge could move back into the Top 10 this weekend as it climbs 11-10 in the midweeks. UK rapper K Koke is heading for his second hit following 2012's Turn Back featuring Maverick Sabre with the RCA-issued Lay Down Your Weapons featuring Rita Ora new at 12 in the midweeks. Big movers in the midweeks include Nelly's Hey Porsche rising 111-23, fellow Universal label single Your Touch by Blake Lewis rising 171-31 and Christina Perri's Atlantic-issued A Thousand Stars up 102-35.

March 11, 201313 yr Author Midweek Charts update: Bowie has year's highest opening sales Source: MW by Paul Willams David Bowie's The Next Day has achieved the highest first-week sales of the year so far after selling nearly 80,000 copies in the UK in four days.

Fellow Virgin release Bad Blood by Bastille falls to 4 having debuted at No 1 last Sunday, while Bruno Mars' second Atlantic album Unorthodox Jukebox loses a place to 5. Fuelled by a performance on Jonathan Ross's ITV1 show last Saturday, Nicole Scherzinger's brand new Interscope/Polydor single Boomerang had started the week leading the midweek singles chart but has now dropped to 4. Ahead of it, Justin Timberlake's Mirrors looks like holding on to No 1 this Sunday with its closest challenger another RCA release, Pink featuring Nate Ruess's Just Give Me A Reason, which progresses 4-2.

March 12, 201313 yr Author http://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/d...-20-years-2107/ David Bowie is officially back as The Next Day looks set to become his ninth UK Number 1 album! David Bowie is on course for his first Number 1 album in nearly 20 years, according to this morning’s Official Charts Company sales data. The singer’s 24th studio album, The Next Day, will be his first Number 1 album since Black Tie White Noise, which topped the Official Albums Chart in April 1993. The Next Day has also clocked up the biggest first day sale of any album this year (56,000 copies) and is currently outselling its closest competitor, Bon Jovi’s What About Now (Number 2) by nearly three to one. If The Next Day can maintain its lead going into the weekend, it will be Bowie’s ninth Number 1 album in the UK. “Bowie is officially back!” says Official Charts Company Managing Director, Martin Talbot. “The Next Day is a true gift for all Bowie afficionados. It already sounds like a classic Bowie album – and its popularity this week is already showing that the great British public have taken it to their hearts.” By Dan Lane (OCC) === 1 David Bowie (56k) 2 Bon Jovi (18.6k-ish) That's got to be plus pre-orders so I reckon total sales for the week around 135k plus
