March 13, 201313 yr Author Judging by the iTunes chart, Justin is probably looking safe for a 3rd week, nice to see a record at #1 for a couple of weeks especially on the back of the BRITs, funny enough Adele did the same with Someone Like You. I can't see Justin getting a 4th week though... hmmm... maybe Justin's album is out next week. Let's hope the track stays there for this week unless Comic Relief night will push other tracks top 3. Last act to spend 3 weeks continuously at #1 Florence & The Machine - Spectrum July 2012, also James Arthur but there was a break in between the Justice Collective, so really it doesn't count.
March 13, 201313 yr Fair play to Justin but although i love long running no1s its declining sales make me want some new releases - Duke Dumont and the saturdays please!!
March 13, 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 13, 201313 yr Fair play to Justin but although i love long running no1s its declining sales make me want some new releases - Duke Dumont and the saturdays please!! Maybe it's sales will steady out or even peak again, once it gets a video? Hope so.
March 13, 201313 yr Yeah the video would def get the sales rising again - don't know if Mirrors is even the official next single yet though so we might have to wait a bit for the video?
March 13, 201313 yr Yeah the video would def get the sales rising again - don't know if Mirrors is even the official next single yet though so we might have to wait a bit for the video? After the UK success, they must surely be considering that it is very likely to be a hit worldwide as well? Anyway, has it been confirmed there will be a video? ATM music channels are playing his BRITS performance.

March 13, 201313 yr Weird to see Blake Lewis charting. Awesome though :w00t: The odd thing is I'm sure it hasn't been top 40 on iTunes...
March 13, 201313 yr Awesome though :w00t: The odd thing is I'm sure it hasn't been top 40 on iTunes... It has been just outside the top 30 all week
March 13, 201313 yr I think it's great that Nicole has held onto the top spot today but 1,300 copies is nothing and I think JT will easily overtake by Friday's mids.
March 13, 201313 yr Author I think it's great that Nicole has held onto the top spot today but 1,300 copies is nothing and I think JT will easily overtake by Friday's mids. ahh that's it. ta.
March 13, 201313 yr Have to say, 10k for Bowie since yesterday isn't THAT great. I'm no longer certain it'll shift 100k.
March 13, 201313 yr Author Does anyone know the reason behind the Christina Perri single back in the 40, I'm taking a stab here, it could do with the hammering advertising of the Twilight Series DVD on TV
March 13, 201313 yr My predictions for Wednesday's mids: 01. David Bowie 02. Bon Jovi 03. Bastille 04. Emeli Sande 05. Bruno Mars 06. Hurts 07. Stereophonics 08. P!nk 09. Les Miserables 10. Jake Bugg 01. David Bowie 02. Bon Jovi 03. Emeli Sande 04. Bastille 05. Bruno Mars 06. Hurts 07. Stereophonics 08. Les Miserables 09. Mumford & Sons 10. Dido Hmm, not too bad. -x- Nicole Scherzinger still number one, has she reached the top spot on iTunes yet? If not, Justin Timberlake will have overtaken by Friday's mids. What's brought on Clown's boost? As long as it doesn't knock White Noise out of the Top 10. First I've heard of this Nelly track, any good or worth a miss? The 1975 to reach the Top 20 pleeeaaassseee!! David Bowie selling 10k since yesterday, hmm, maybe we are looking at 90-95k rather than over 100k. :( Decent falls for Dido and Laura Mvula, I was expecting a further drop so I'm glad to be proven wrong. Nice sneak re-entry for Bon Jovi's Greatest Hits at the bottom of the midweek chart!
March 13, 201313 yr Have to say, 10k for Bowie since yesterday isn't THAT great. I'm no longer certain it'll shift 100k. Throws your hat back!!
