June 18, 201313 yr Don't forget that Watch the Throne was a big success and most of Kanye's sales will be digital either way.
June 18, 201313 yr Wonder if Robin can do another 190K on sales lol! Hey anything is possible ;) Hopefully not <_<
June 18, 201313 yr I hate it when I wait such a long time for an album I absolutely love, and then it doesn't get to number 1 - not that getting to number 1 is necessary to be successful, but it's just such a good feeling - especially when, if Kodaline get number 2, it will mean all three of my favourite albums this year (so far) have peaked at number 2. Ah well, might as well prepare myself for "God" getting to number 1 :P Edited June 18, 201313 yr by Yorkie2
June 19, 201313 yr @hmvtweets: physical copies of @kanyewest Yeezus have finally landed on UK shores, GO GO GO! YEES!
June 19, 201313 yr Damn Kanye West, then again it may not sell as big as we think, Kodaline would be a much better number 1.
June 19, 201313 yr Are people really interested in Kodaline? I mean Bastille sold 56k with a big hit. Kodaline doesn't have one yet.
June 19, 201313 yr Author Just pooped online to announce I won't be able to do the Weds update. If anyone wants to take a stab at it, just quote the post 2 on page 1, and just re-edit the Weds mid template

June 19, 201313 yr Midweek Charts: Kodaline and Black Sabbath neck and neck for No 1 Source: MW by Paul Willams Kodaline are facing a close battle with Black Sabbath as they look to top the UK artist albums chart with debut In A Perfect World. The Dublin band's B-Unique/RCA release currently has a sales lead of around 14% over Vertigo/Virgin EMI act Black Sabbath'sn 13, which debuted at No 1 last Sunday. However, that lead compares to one of 30% a day ago, according to Official Charts Company data. Below them, Rod Stewart is looking to spend a fifth consecutive week in the top five with the Capitol/Decca-issued Time, which holds at 3 in the latest midweeks, while Sigur Ros's seventh album and first for XL - Kveikur - is currently showing up as a new entry at 4. It looks destined to become the Icelandic band's third Top 10 album in the UK. US hip hop star J Cole should turn up in the albums Top 10 for he first time this weekend with the Columbia/Roc Nation set Born Sinner new at 5 in the latest midweeks. His first album Cole World: The Sideline Story reached No 25 in the UK, while topping the Billboard 200 chart in the US. A fourth brand new album in the Top 10 positions comes courtesy of Hans Zimmer's Sony Classical-issued soundtrack to the new Superman movie Man Of Steel. This is new at 8 in the midweeks. Nettwerk act Passenger's All The Little Lights lifts 8-6, while Daft Punk's Columbia album Random Access Memories drops 4-7 in the week so far. Disclosure's former PMR/Island album Settle falls 5-9, while Beady Eye's Columbia-issued Be suffers a 78% week-on-week drop in sales as it drops from 2 where it debuted last Sunday to 10 and is coming under pressure from Epic act Olly Murs' Right Place Right Time for a Top 10 place. The chart lower down will welcome this Sunday new entries from Decca's Hayley Westenra, The View with their first Cooking Vinyl album and Island's Mac Miller with his second studio set Watching Movies With The Sound Off. Interscope/Polydor's Robin Thicke faces his first real competition for the No 1 spot on singles this week with only around 7,000 sales currently separating his track Blurred Lines with TI and Pharrell Williams, and Jason Derulo's new Warner Bros single The Other Side at No 2. The Derulo cut is the lead-off single from his upcoming third album. Dizzee Rascal's fifth studio album, appropriately called The Fifth, is due out in a fortnight's time and will be ushered in by another Top 10 single by the UK rapper. The Dirtee Skank/Island track Goin' Crazy, which prominently features Robbie Williams, is new at 4 in the midweks, placing it between Virgin act Naughty Boy's La La La featuring Sam Smith (dropping 2-3) and Nettwerk's Passenger with Let Her Go (down 3-5). Daft Punk's Columbia single Get Lucky with Pharrell Williams continues its slow descent, dropping 4-6 in the latest Sales Flashes, while Olly Murs' Epic-issued Dear Darlin' is down 5-7. Two other singles suffer two-position drops with Lava/Republic act Jessie J's Wild featuring Big Sean and Dizzee Rascal down 6-8 and the Mercury/Virgin EMI pairing of Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran on Everything Has Changed slipping 7-9. The Voice contestant rounds off the Top 10 in the week so far with the UMTV-issued The Voice dropping 8-10, while McFall's version of Killing Me Softly leaps 105-30. Ahead of the release of his debut album Long Way Down, Columbia's Tom Odell is heading for his highest-charting single to date with Another Love returning at 11 in the midweeks. It previously peaked at 56. Trio London Grammar, who have been compared to The xx, are new at 19 with the Metal & Dust/Ministry of Sound track Wasting My Young Years, while a soundalike version of the Icona Pop track I Don't Care I Love It races 119-20 ahead of the June 30 release of the Warner Bros original. The remake of the Swedish pop act track is billed to Remix Junkies on a label of the same name.

June 19, 201313 yr By Daniel Lane Dublin’s Kodaline take on global mega-star Kanye West in the battle for this week's Number 1 album. Kodaline are going head-to-head with Kayne West in the race for this week’s Official Number 1 album. The Dublin rockers’ debut full-length, In A Perfect World, is in pole position on today’s Official Albums Chart Update; however the quartet face tough competition from Kanye West, whose new album, Yeezus, was officially released in the UK yesterday. After less than 24 hours on sale, Yeezus is just 1,800 copies behind In A Perfect World, and debuts at Number 3 on today’s Update. Current Official Albums Chart topper, 13 by Black Sabbath, is down one place to Number 2, while Rod Stewart’s Time (4) and Icelandic post-rock outfit Sigur Rós’ new studio album, Kveikur (5), complete today’s Update Top 5. New entries In addition to Kodaline’s (1), Kanye West (2), and Sigur Rós (5), there are five other new entries on today’s Official Albums Chart Update. J. Cole, who was the first signing to Jay-Z’s Roc Nation label, looks set to debut inside the Top 10 this weekend. The North Carolina rapper’s second album, Born Sinner, is at Number 6 at the halfway stage. His first album, Cole World: The Sideline Story, peaked at Number 25 on the Official Albums Chart back in 2011. Award winning composer Hans Zimmer is also set to score his highest charting album to date with his soundtrack to the new Superman film, Man Of Steel (9), while New Zealand soprano Hayley Westenra is on course for her sixth Top 40 album. Hayley‘s new collection of traditional lullabies and mellow musical songs, Hushabye, is new in at 25 today. And finally, The View’s new Best Of album, Seven Year Setlist, and US rapper Mac Miller’s second album, Watching Movies With The Sound Off, are currently at Number 35 and Number 39, respectively. The Official Albums Chart Update Top 40 is as follows: The full top 40 can be seen here: http://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/k...r-1-album-2298/
June 19, 201313 yr Impressive debut for Tom Odell. I thought Dizzee/Robbie would be a surefire no.1 or 2 at least. Edited June 19, 201313 yr by #RobSummers
June 19, 201313 yr Thought Tom would have been 5-7 due to its ep sales plus the singles now up to the top 10 on iTunes it should be top 10 Sunday then another 2 versions with the album next week! Great top 20 for London Grammar can't wait until the albums out later this year! They've played LG, Tom Odell, Dizzee/Rab & Jason next! Missed out Icons Pop fake & Kesha!!
June 19, 201313 yr Impressive debut for Tom Odell. I thought Dizzee/Robbie would be a surefire no.1 or 2 at least. The video for this was released when the single premiered in mid may they should have released it round when Blurred Lines was released for maximum impact!! If they're at 4 behind NB who are set to sell 75k or so Dizzee must be less than this! My prediction - 1) Robin Thicke 150k 2) Jason Derulo 125k 3) NB 75k 4) Dizzee/Robbie 70k Edited June 19, 201313 yr by steve201
June 19, 201313 yr Those Tom Odell and London Grammar songs are so, SO dull! :\ Don't go anywhere. Bleh. Great to see Jason in the top 2 :wub: Generic urban dance pop FTW. :cheer:
