Posted June 24, 201313 yr Single & Album Summary Big week in the singles and quite an eventful one with Icona Pop feat. Charli XCX at last dropping their long awaited single I Love It after many months of waiting which should give Robin Thicke a run for his money for the #1 single of the week, should crash into 6 figures at the end of the week. Other notable new entries to come from the Wanted are also a strong contender for the #1 spot, and the winner of the Voice, Andrea Begley and Leah McFall with another cover hit, and a climber from will.i.am with "Bang Bang" Poor week of album releases, Tom Odell is expecting to aim high with his debut album "Long Way Down", other potential new release from Empire Of The Sun. I don't think there is hardly new releases to trouble the chart, most likely old albums will go back up the chart with the Glastonbury weekend effect. ======================================================= Please note new changes to the Sunday Chart Predictions thread topic: You can still post your own predictions for the week to generate chat to the topic.

June 24, 201313 yr Author Midweek Charts: Tom Odell set for No 1 Source: MW by Paul Willams Tom Odell is heading to No 1 in the UK this Sunday with his debut album outselling its three nearest rivals combined. The Brits Critics' Choice winner's Columbia-issued Long Way Down had sold 20,305 copies by the end of trading on Tuesday, according to the Official Charts Company with Nettwerk artist Passenger's All The Little Things around 14,000 sales behind. The Passenger album progresses 5-2 in the latest midweeks, while Rod Stewart's resilient Capitol/Decca release Time moves 4-3 as Kanye West's Def Jam/Virgin EMI set Yeezus drops to 4 having debuted at No 1 last Sunday. A performance of Who's Lovin' You on last weekend's final of BBC One's The Voice helps lift sales of Michael Buble's Reprise/Warner Bros album To Be Loved by 77% to move it 14-5 in the latest midweeks, while the same programme also boasts coach will.i.am's Willpower. The Interscope/Polydor album leaps 40-19 with sales up 144% after he performed the track Bang Bang on the show with contestant Leah McFall, while the cut itself races 42-4 on midweek singles. Back on albums and Daft Punk's Columbia-released Random Access Memories holds at 6 as B-Unique/RCA signings Kodaline drop 3-7 with In A Perfect World, Olly Murs holds at 8 with Right Place Right Time, Atlantic act Bruno Mars climbs 12-9 with a 23% sales lift for Unorthodox Jukebox and Black Sabbath's Vertigo/Virgin EMI album 13 drops 2-10. Besides Odell, the only brand new albums registering among the Top 40 sellers are Virgin act Empire Of The Sun's Ice On The Dune at 14, Amon Amarth at 37 with Deceiver Of The Gods on the Metal Blade label and Fat Freddy's Drop's Blackbird at 39 on The Drop label. Swedish duo Icona Pop appear to be heading straight to No 1 on the singles chart with I Love It featuring Brit Charli XCX. The Atlantic single has been a substantial hit overseas, including going Top 10 in the likes of Australia, Germany, Italy, the US and the duo's native Sweden, but its UK commercial release was held back until this week, prompting a flood of copy versions to hit the market. It currently has a lead of around 10,000 sales over Interscope/Polydor act Robin Thicke's Blurred Lines, which features TI and Pharrell Williams and drops 1-2 in the midweeks. The Wanted's brand new Global Talent/Polydor single Walks Like A Rihanna arrives at 3 in the week to date, while below will.i.am Naughty Boy featurring Sam Smith's Virgin-issued La La La slips 3-5. Let Her Go by Nettwerk's Passenger is down 4-6 and Warner Bros act Jason Derulo's The Other Side drops to 7 after debuting at 2 last week. Columbia act Daft Punk lose another two places to 8 with Get Lucky featuring Pharrell Williams as Dirtee Skank/Island act Dizzee Rascal's Goin' Crazy with Robbie Williams is down 5-9 and Olly Murs' Epic single Dear Darlin' falls 7-10. Having been crowned the winner of the second series of The Voice, Andrea Begley now has a hit single on her hands with the UMTV-issued My Immortal rising 75-19 in the midweeks as Evanescence's Virgin/Wind Up original jumps 74-30, while fellow contestant Leah McFall's Will Always Love You on UMTV is up 85-22. Outside the Top 10 the only brand new entry to the midweek Top 40 positions is the Transmission release Can't Get Enough by Leeroy featuring Nagla, which is new at 27 in the week so far.

June 24, 201313 yr Author Midweek Charts update: Icona Pop to hit 100,000 sales week one Source: MW by Paul Willams Icona Pop's I Love It is set to sell more than 100,000 copies first week in the UK to end Blurred Lines' run at No 1. The Swedish duo's Atlantic single, which features British artist Charli XCX, has been a substantial hit in a number of leading music markets around the world but its UK release was held back until this week, prompting a flood of copy versions to flood the market. Despite that, it had already sold more than 90,000 copies by the end of business on Thursday, according to the Official Charts Company, to put it around 15,000 sales ahead of Robin Thicke's Interscope/Polydor single Blurred Lines featuring TI and Pharrell Williams. Another big new single comes courtesy of Global Talent/Polydor act The Wanted whose Walks Like Rihanna is new at 3 in the midweeks, a few thousand sales ahead of will.i.am's Interscope/Polydor track Bang Bang, which flies 42-4 after it was performed on the final of BBC One's The Voice last weekend. Virgin act Naughty Boy's La La La featuring Sam Smith completes the top five, dropping 3-5 in the week to date. Columbia artist Tom Odell is looking good to secure a debut at No 1 on the artist albums chart this Sunday with Long Way Down with his main rival now Rod Stewart whose Capitol/Decca album Time lifts 4-2, despite weekly sales dropping 16%. Nettwerk's Passenger progresses 5-3 with All The Little Lights, while Michael Buble also benefits from a Voice performance with sales of the Reprise/Warner Bros-issued To Be Loved up 81% to lift it 14-4. Debuting at No1 last Sunday, Kanye West's Def Jam/Virgin EMI album Yeezus drops 1-5 on the midweeks. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Friday Update Top 40 Only Singles 1 Icona Pop/Charli XCX (90k) 2 Robin Thicke/T.I./Pharrell (75k) 3 Wanted 4 will.i.am 5 Naughty Boy/Sam Smith Top 10 Top 15 Top 20 17 David Guetta/Ne-Yo/Akon 20 Chase & Status/Louis M^ttrs Top 30 26 Andrea Begley 29 Leeroy/Nagla Top 40 31 Leah McFall [i Will Always Love You] 32 Evanescence 40 The Script/will.i.am ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Albums 1 Tom Odell 2 Rod Stewart 3 Passenger 4 Michael Buble 5 Kanye West Top 10 8 Bruno Mars Top 15 12 Emeli sande 14 Bastille 15 Mumford & Sons Top 20 16 Script 17 Empire Of The Sun 19 Jake Bugg 20 will.i.am Top 30 24 Ellie Goulding 25 P!nk 28 Imagine dragons Top 40 31 Lumineers 32 Beatles [1] 33 David Guetta 36 Gabrielle Aplin 37 Les Miserables 38 Justin Timberlake 39 Ben Howard 40 Mumford & Sons NO SALES INFO

June 24, 201313 yr Tomorrow, I'm expecting... 01. The Wanted - Walks Like Rihanna 02. Icona Pop Feat Charli XCX - I Love It 03. Robin Thinckle Feat Pharell - Blurred Lines 04. Will.i.am - Bang Bang I'd say: 01. Robin Thicke 02. The Wanted 03. Icona Pop 04. Will.i.am But TW could be #1 instead.
June 25, 201313 yr Author Storm Yee-Chong @stormyeechong 37m It's happened. Icona Pop and Charli XCX are number 1 in the midweeks. https://twitter.com/stormyeechong Buzzjack meltdown here it comes :D
June 25, 201313 yr Author dave chase @davechase 32m Fantastic to see the hugely talented @tompeterodell flying high in today's midweek charts. Fingers crossed you hold on to that number 1 sir! https://twitter.com/davechase
June 25, 201313 yr yesss icona pop I was wondering if even their bundle sales would overcome their relatively slow start...
June 25, 201313 yr I was wondering if even their bundle sales would overcome their relatively slow start... It didn't even need to - they were #1 at midnight on Monday, i.e. over their first 48 hours, so for the first mids they've almost certainly outsold Robin even without EP sales. They have a few remixes charting decently as well.
June 25, 201313 yr Woo for 'I Love It'! :cheer: Your faves are on a different road, Icona Pop are in the milky-way.
June 25, 201313 yr These big Europop hits always smash hard here when they get decently promoted. Shows once again that this country is open to the genre, it just rarely gets pushed here! Well done Icona Pop :D
June 25, 201313 yr These big Europop hits always smash hard here when they get decently promoted. Shows once again that this country is open to the genre, it just rarely gets pushed here! Well done Icona Pop :D I really think Alors on Danse could've done better here. I loved that song. It did pretty well though, to sell about 100,000 when its entire promotion was basically just Radio 1 B-List (and people hearing it on holiday).
June 25, 201313 yr Ugh. Would prefer The Wanted than that rubbish. Hopefully John Newman knocks it off next week :D
June 25, 201313 yr Author If John Newman goes to #1 next week a pretty pattern is forming Daft Punk 4weeks Naughty Boy 1 week Robin Thicke 4 weeks Icona Pop 1 week John Newman hmmm... 4 weeks :lol:
June 25, 201313 yr Hardly doubt Newman will get 4 weeks but I would pleased if he could. That's the real hit of the summer for me ^_^
June 25, 201313 yr Ugh. Would prefer The Wanted than that rubbish. You're joking, right? The lyrics to "Walks Like Rihanna" are revolting... even worse than "Blurred Lines"!
