The highest weekly sale for a single in the year so far is 163,384 copies achieved by Columbia act Daft Punk's Get Lucky in its second week at No 1. Like Blurred Lines, that also features Pharrell Williams, and drops 2-3 in the latest midweeks. Thicke will not only top the UK chart for the first time this coming Sunday but also achieve his first Top 10 hit having to date risen has high as 11, achieved with Lost Without U in 2007. Sitting in between Thicke and Daft Punk at 2 is Virgin signing Naughty Boy whose La La La with Sam Smith debuted at No 1 last Sunday, while Jessie J is heading for a seventh Top 10 hit with the brand new Lava/Republic track Wild with Big Sean and Dizzee Rascal new at 4 in the midweeks.

Daft Punk will achieve a second week at the top of the artist albums chart this weekend with their Columbia release Random Access Memories, despite sales falluing 76%. Rod Stewart's chart-topping Decca album Time is showing real staying power by holding at 2 in the midweeks, while Virgin act Laura Marling's fourth album Once I Was An Eagle is new at 3 in the week so far. Her previous two abums, 2010's I Speak Because I Can and 2011's A Creature I Don't Know, both peaked at 4. Bruno Mars is one of a number of acts to experience a big surge in retail demand after performing at Radio 1's Big Weekend event last weekend. Sales of his Atlantic album Unorthodox Jukebox are up 16-4 with sales increasing 171%. Stooshe's first album London With The Lights On, released via FutureCut/QWorks/Warner Bros, is new at 5 in the latest midweeks, while Asylum act Rudimental's Home holds at 6, Passenger's Nettwerk remains at 7 with All The Little Things and both Virgin's Bastille and Polydor's Ellie Goulding return to the Top 10 after Big Weekend performnces.

Emeli Sande's Our Version Of Events dropped out of the Top 10 last week after a record 66 consecutive weeks for a debut album but the Virgin release could instantly return there this weekend.

Made up of current members of Thin Lizzy, Black Stars Riders land a No 11 debut in the week to date with All Hell Breaks Loose on the Nuclear Blast label, while Alice In Chains' new Virgin album The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here is new at 12.

The set originally reached No 8 in the UK in 1976, while topping the US chart. A series of songs covered by BBC 1's The Voice are enjoying increased demand, led by Republic/Island act Of Monsters And Men whose Little Talks moves 41-11 with sales up 895% on the week. This follows it being performed by the show's contestants Emily Worton and Moni Tivony last weekend, while it was recently covered on ITV1's Britain's Got Talent by school boys Jack Duff and Cormac Connell.

May 27, 201312 yr Author Midweek Charts update: Thicke heading for 2013's top weekly sales Source: MW by Paul Willams Robin Thicke's Blurred Lines is set to achieve the highest weekly sales for a single in the UK this year having already shifted 140,000 copies. With two days of trading still to go, the Interscope/Polydor release featurring TI and Pharrell Williams had sold 139,724 units by the end of business on Thursday, according to the Official Charts Company. That left it only 23,660 units behind 2013's biggest weekly sale for a single achieved by Columbia act Daft Punk's Get Lucky and also featuring Williams. Blurred Lines, which will become US R&B singer Thicke's first UK Top 10 hit, has so far this week sold more copies than the combined efforts of its two nearest rivals. These are led by Virgin act Naughty Boy whose La La La with Sam Smith debuted at 1 last Sunday but now drops to 2 in the midweeks, while Get Lucky slips 2-3. Nettwerk act Passenger also loses a place, falling to 4 with Let het Go, while Lava/Republic act Jessie J's brand new track Wild with Big Sean and Dizzee Rascal arrives at 5. Daft Punk will achieve a second week at 1 leading the UK artist albums chart this Wednesday, despite sales of their Columbia set Random Access Memories falling 73%, while Decca act Rod Stewart will hold at 2 with Time. Laura Marling is presently a new entry at 4 with her new Virgin album Once I Was An Eagle and first under Universal ownership, while Nettwerk's Passenger climbs 7-4 with All The Little Things and Rudimental gain a place to 5 with their Asylum/Atlantic debut Home. Stooshe's first album London With The Lights On, released through FutureCut/QWorks and Warner Bros, shows up as a new entry at 6 in the latest Sales Flashes, while Atlantic act Bruno Mars' Unorthodox Jukebox, Bastille's Virgin album Pompeii and Ellie Goulding's Polydor-issued Halcyon will appear in or around the Top 10 after being boosted by televised Radio 1 Big Weekend performances.

May 28, 201312 yr Author On Twitter Austin @mrviews 1m Stooshe are top 5 in the album midweeks! #StoosheSquadhttps://twitter.com/mrviews Tasha Lovecity @TashaLovecity 26m Congrats to @Stooshe... number 4 in the midweeks x https://twitter.com/TashaLovecity
May 28, 201312 yr Honestly didn't expect to see them as high as #4. Hoping they can somehow manage to hold on to a T10 placing. Hoping "Slip" can manage to hold on to a T40 placing for a third week too. Assuming Daft Punk'll grab a second week at the summit. Only 'big' competitor is Laura Marling, but she'll have to settle for #2 instead; unless Bruno Mars/Calvin Harris get a boost from R1BW or if Rod Stewart climbs. Big sales in the singles chart this week then hopefully. T3 should all clear 90k at least.
May 28, 201312 yr Didnt expect such great news for Stooshe, it is certainly a nice surprise, top 10 should be safe for them now, considering a while back many of us thought the album would never see the light of day it is a great result.
May 28, 201312 yr That's at least 10 places higher than I thought for Stooshe, even so I can't see it having a great chart run or overall sales.
May 28, 201312 yr My predictions: 1. Blurred Lines 2. La, La, La 3. Wild 4. Get Lucky (2 entries in top 10 downloads still) 5. Let Her Go It will change via end of the week: 1. Blurred Lines 2. La, La, La 3. Let Her Go 4. Wild 5. Get Lucky.
May 28, 201312 yr Will Smith's "Switch" is at #44 and "The Fresh Prince of Bel Air" is at #102 Source: OCC
May 28, 201312 yr How the HELL have Stooshe got so high :o I was expecting 10k first-week sales at the most, which with sales quite high atm I thought mightn't even have been enough for top 10. Edited May 28, 201312 yr by Danny
May 28, 201312 yr My predictions: 1. Blurred Lines 2. La, La, La 3. Wild 4. Get Lucky (2 entries in top 10 downloads still) 5. Let Her Go It will change via end of the week: 1. Blurred Lines 2. La, La, La 3. Let Her Go 4. Wild 5. Get Lucky. Id say GET LUCKY will sell at least 85k again this week, cant see PPasseger or Wild beating that. My predictions are for - 1) Robin Thicke 140k 2) Naughty Boy 100k 3) Daft Punk 88k 4) Passenger 70k 5) Jessie j 40-55k
May 28, 201312 yr Author Jessie is #4 in singles with Wild according to another tweeter WOW @jessiej at No.4 in the midweeks, with no promo & only recently revealed, now that is a strong fan base!!
May 28, 201312 yr Author My predictions: 1. Blurred Lines 2. La, La, La 3. Wild 4. Get Lucky (2 entries in top 10 downloads still) 5. Let Her Go It will change via end of the week: 1. Blurred Lines 2. La, La, La 3. Let Her Go 4. Wild 5. Get Lucky. I reckon Jessie J is looking at #5 at the moment. Could fall further later in the week. How the HELL have Stooshe got so high :o I was expecting 10k first-week sales at the most, which with sales quite high atm I thought mightn't even have been enough for top 10. I was surprised myself their album was that high, when you take the compilations and the EP single from NB above them out of the equation on the album iTunes chart, they look about right though, when you add both albums together, since they have a Deluxe version.
May 28, 201312 yr Author OCC Facebook According to today’s Official Charts Company sales data, which takes into account sales up to midnight last night (Monday, May 27), Switch is currently sitting just outside of the Top 40 at Number 44, while the show’s theme tune looks set to break into the Top 100 before the week is though. It is currently at Number 102.
May 28, 201312 yr I think Jessie J will be #5 or #6 by the end of the week, depending on whether Olly does a promo slot somewhere and gets a boost - it's Jessie v. Olly for that #5 spot.
May 28, 201312 yr Stooshee are no Spice Girls! WIth Sugababes, All Saints, Spice and Girls Aloud gone, that makes Saturdays clearly the biggest girl band around.
May 28, 201312 yr Stooshee are no Spice Girls! WIth Sugababes, All Saints, Spice and Girls Aloud gone, that makes Saturdays clearly the biggest girl band around. You're forgetting about Little Mix. Their four singles (I won't count Cannonball) all reached top 20 and had decent longevity and sales, plus their album did much better than On Your Radar. We'll have to wait and see how 'Gentleman' and their album does but I do think LM are bigger than them.
May 28, 201312 yr Stooshe will fall pretty heavily throughout the week I think. Their pre-orders have been going back since October/November (? - I think) so it's hardly surprising it's been given a big boost. I think they're looking at a #13-#14 peak come Sunday. *stays away from the thread to avoid getting into another pointless argument in regards to Little Mix vs. The Sats* I think it's Little Mix, personally :kink: etc...
