May 13, 201313 yr Author Midweek Charts: Rod sailing back to No 1 Source: MW by Paul Willams Rod Stewart is heading for his first chart-topping album in the UK since 1979 with brand new studio set Time. The Decca release, his first album of original songs in more than 20 years, currently has a 31% sales lead over nearest rival English Rain by Parlophone act Gabrielle Aplin, according to the Official Charts Company. Stewart last reached No 1 with an album back in December 1979 with Greatest Hits Vol I and it stayed there for five weeks until January 1980, while his last studio album to make it to the top was 1976's A Night On The Town, which included the hits Tonight's The Night (Gonna Be Alright) and The First Cut Is The Depest. If Time does stay at No 1 when the full-week chart is published on Sunday it will be his eighth chart-topper in all and will deny Parlophone a No 1 in the week the EC has given approval of its takeover by Warner. The record company's signing Gabrielle Aplin is around 6,000 sales behind Stewart at present with her debut English Rain, while sitting below her is XL act Vampire Weekend's newly-issued third album Modern Vampires Of The City. The band's self-titled album reached No 15 in 2008, while follow-up Contra made it to 3 in 2010 and topped the Billboard 200 chart. Former ABBA star Agnetha Faltskog completes a midweek artist albums top four exclusively comprising brand new releases with the Polydor-issued A at No 4. It looks on course to become her highest-charting solo album in the UK, beating her current peak of 12 achieved with her last album My Colouring Book on Warner in 2004. Primal Scream complete the new releases in the latest midweek Top 10 with the First International/Ignition-issued More Light at 7. It is aiming to become the band's eighth Top 10 album in total, all consecutively achieved and in a run dating back to 1991's Screamadelica. The high number of new arrivals means some of last week's leading titles make big drops, including Dramatico act Caro Emerald whose The Shocking Miss Emerald falls 1-5 and Alison Moyet whose Cooking Vinyl set The Minutes slides 5-20. Asylum/Atlantic act Rudimental drop 2-7 with Home, while Emeli Sande looks to extend her record-breaking Top 10 run for a debut album to 66 weeks with Our Version Of Events climbing 9-8 in the week so far. Fellow Virgin release Bad Blood by Bastille climbs 10-9 with sales up 8% after the band performed on Jonathan Ross's ITV1 show last Saturday, while Nettwerk's Passenger is down 8-10 with All The Little Lights. Following the DVD release of the movie, Polydor's Les Miserabes album enjoys a 131% week-on-week pick-up in sales to move it 18-12 on Sales Flashes. The Fall are heading for another hit album with the Cherry Red-issued Re-mit new at 28, while a re-issue of REM's first Warner Bros album Green, which originally reached 27 in 1988, is presently showing up as a new entry at 36 for Rhino. Daft Punk featuring Pharrell Williams' Get Lucky looks like becoming the first track in more than a year to spend four weeks at No 1 on the singles chart as the Columbia release opens up a 20,000 sales lead in the week so far. The last track to spend more than three weeks in charge was the Polydor-handled Call Me Maybe by Carly Rae Jepsen in April and May last year. Brighton's Passenger is now up to 2 on the midweeks with an 18% sales increase for Let Her Go, which would give the Nettwerk label a new chart peak. US singer and actress Demi Lovato shows up as a new entry at 3 in the week so far with her Hollywood/Polydor Billboard Hot 100 Top 10 hit Heart Attack, while Levels/Ministry of Sound's Wretch 32 is poised for a fourth Top 10 hit with Blackout featuring Shakka currently new at 4. Another Ministry of Sound release, So Good To Me by Chris Malinchak, is down to 5 having debuted at 2 last Sunday, while Rudimental's Asylum/Atlantic single Waiting All Night with Ella Eyre drops 4-6. The two tracks immediately below it also fall two places with Macklemore & Ryan Lewis featuring Ray Dalton's Can't Hold Us on the Macklemore label slipping 5-7 and the Positiva/Virgin track This Is What It Feels Like by Armin Van Buuren featuring Trevor Guthrie dropping 6-8. Mercury act Sub Focus could be heading for a first Top 10 hit with Endorphins featuring Alex Clare registering at present as a new entry at 9, while Parlophone act David Guetta falls 7-10 with Play Hard featuring Ne-Yo and Akon. Stooshe's brand new Futurecut/QWorks/Warner Bros single Slip is new at 11 on the latest midweeks, while All Around The World's Tich arrives at 15 with Dumb. 14th Floor/Atlantic act Birdy's People Help The People could be heading for a new peak, having reached 33 last year, with it flying 115-24. It follows the song being performed on BBC One's The Voice last Saturday in the first battles round where it was performed by contestants Begley Andrea and Alice Barlow. Meanwhile, Republic/Island-signed Of Monsters And Men are enjoying a 541% sales hike with Little Talks to send it 104-31 after contestants Jack and Cormac performed it on ITV1 show Britain's Got Talent.

May 13, 201313 yr Author Midweek Charts update: Daft Punk claim year's third top seller Source: MW by Paul Willams Daft Punk's Get Lucky is heading for a fourth week at No 1 this Sunday after rising to third place in the year-to-date sales rankings. The Columbia single featuring Pharrell Williams has already sold nearly 80,000 additional copies this week, taking its cumulative UK sales total above 570,000 and placing it only behind Macklemore & Ryan Lewis featuring Wanz's Thrift Shop and Justin Timberlake's Mirrors for 2013 stars, according to the Official Charts Company. It is on course to overtake Mirrors imminently. Behind Get Lucky in the week-to-date Nettwerk's Passenger has moved up 3-2 with Let Her Go, while Hollywood/Polydor at Demi Lovato's Heart Attack and Levels/Ministry of Sound act Wretch 32 with Blackout featuring Shakka are new at 3 and 4 respectively. Macklemore & Ryan Lewis featuring Ray Dalton's Can't Hold Us on the Macklemore label holds at 5, while Mercury act Sub Focus are new at 10 with Endorphins featuring Alex Clare. Rod Stewart's brand new Decca release Time continues to lead the artist album rankings and will be boosted by an appearance on Alan Carr's Chatty Man programme on Channel 4 on Friday night (May 17), while Parlophone act Gabrielle Aplin is new at 2 with English Rain and XL signings Vampire Weekend new at 3 with Modern Vampires Of The City. The Dramatico/Grand Mono-issued The Shocking Miss Emerald drops to 4 having debuted at 1 last Sunday, while former ABBA star Agnetha Faltskog is new at 5 in the week so far with her Polydor album A.

May 14, 201313 yr I'd predict that Stooshe will probably be #8 in the midweeks, Wretch will be #3 and Demi will be #4.
May 14, 201313 yr Author Big Drum Ent. @bigdrument 10m @Wretch32 and @iAmShakka's song #Blackout is at number 4 in the midweek charts, please help us get it to number 1 and go buy it, its only... https://twitter.com/bigdrument
May 14, 201313 yr Author OCC have reported Daft Punk has sold over half a million this morning, well a rocket scientist could have worked that out, when its current total was over 492k plus. We know its sales are over 8k so far... :lol: for this week and more.

May 14, 201313 yr The recent weeks have seen a real album chart T10 clear out. With the likes of Caro Emerald and Rudimental likely to hang around, Emeli Sande could well drop out for the first time since release (with Vampire Weekend, Rod Stewart and Gabrielle Aplin all looking to go T10?)
May 14, 201313 yr Author H A R R Y @harrysouten 24m #Squad @Stooshe #SLIP isnumber 8 in the midweek chart! Let's get it climbing! http://smarturl.it/stooshe-slip x https://twitter.com/harrysouten
May 14, 201313 yr OCC have reported Daft Punk has sold over half a million this morning, well a rocket scientist could have worked that out, when its current total was over 492k plus. We know its sales are over 8k so far... :lol: for this week and more. People on here who closely follow sales tallies and mids will know that but your average chart fan won't. It's an important milestone and it seems reasonable to announce it even if it's blindingly obvious to us. They'll do the same when it reaches 1m, 1.5m etc....
May 14, 201313 yr Single & Album Summary Daft Pink are probably looking at a 4th week at #1 Now THAT'S a collaboration worth hearing! :P You know that rocket science is generally considered quite difficult, right?:D !! Nu-"Mikey of the week"? The recent weeks have seen a real album chart T10 clear out. With the likes of Caro Emerald and Rudimental likely to hang around, Emeli Sande could well drop out for the first time since release (with Vampire Weekend, Rod Stewart and Gabrielle Aplin all looking to go T10?)I think I read that Emeli's Royal Albert Hall concert was shown on one of the BBC channels over the weekend (last night - maybe?), so I think it'll remain top 10. :(
May 14, 201313 yr I believe Daft Punk will now manage 5 weeks at number 1. As the release of the album next week will give the single a further lift.
May 14, 201313 yr Fabulous for Wretch at #4 - he could even go top 3 assuming Demi is ahead of him as he's closing in on her on iTunes. Looking likely to outpeak 'Traktor' anyhow which is brilliant. I think Naughty Boy will knock Daft Punk off #1 next week. I hope we get sales info for 'Get Lucky' again tomorrow, to see if it's likely to get a 4th week over 100k. Inclined to think it'll fall just short this time.
May 14, 201313 yr Fabulous for Wretch at #4 - he could even go top 3 assuming Demi is ahead of him as he's closing in on her on iTunes. Looking likely to outpeak 'Traktor' anyhow which is brilliant. I don't think it is, 'Traktor' is the only decent thing he has done. :(
May 14, 201313 yr I think 'Traktor' is still narrowly my favourite of his singles (all of them except 'Forgiveness' - a rightful flop - have been really good though). Just happy that this era is technically off to a better start than 'Black And White' :P Wretch 32 was not someone I expected to continue to have success into a second (technically third) album.
May 14, 201313 yr I think Naughty Boy will knock Daft Punk off #1 next week. I hope we get sales info for 'Get Lucky' again tomorrow, to see if it's likely to get a 4th week over 100k. Inclined to think it'll fall just short this time. I think Naughty Boy is an easy #2. With Daft Punk's album being released which features a NEW 6 MINUTE VERSION of Get Lucky, I can see sales for the song rising. I've heard La La La twice on the radio today, it should easily get big sales but I still think the album will help Get Lucky get another week at #1.
