September 9, 201312 yr Author Midweek Charts: Arctic Monkeys album hits 100,000 UK sales by Paul Willams Source: MW AM has become Arctic Monkeys' fastest-selling album in six years with nearly 100,000 UK sales in just two days. The band's new Domino set is presently outselling the rest of the week's Top 20 artist albums combined and is a virtual certainty to become their fifth No 1 out of their first five album releases. That would match a sequence for a band only achieved so far by The Beatles and Keane. Up to the end of trading on Tuesday AM had sold 97,332 copies, according to Official Charts Company data, more than the band's last two albums sold in their entire first weeks. Humbug had 96,313 takers one week in August 2009 and Suck It And See 82,424 in June 2011, making AM the band's fastest seller since Favourite Worse Nightmare launched with 227,922 sales in April 2007. AM is also on course to comfortably clock up the year's highest weekly sales for an artist album, beating the current peak of 121,415 units achieved by Michael Buble's Reprise/Warner Bros-issued To Be Loved in April. And on midweek singles a number of the band's tracks are on the rise, led by Do I Wanna Know up 24-11 and R U Mine returning at No 35. Arctic Monkeys lead a very busy week for new album releases with six of the Top 10 artist sellers in the week to date brand new titles and including debuts from two highly-acclaimed new acts, London Grammar and The Strypes. Trio London Grammar's debut If You Wait, released on their own Metal & Dust Recordings label through Ministry of Sound, is new at 2 in the latest Sales Flashes and Ireland's The Strypes are new at 5 with their EMI release Snapshot produced by veteran Chris Thomas. Mute's Goldfrapp are on course for their fourth Top 10 album with Tales Of Us new at 3, while Canadian Weeknd's Republic/XO album Kiss Land via Island is new at 7. His Trilogy set peaked at 37 in the UK. Meanwhile, Atlantic's rising R&B star Janelle Monae's new album The Electric Lady enters at 9 and will comfortably beat the peak of its predecessor ArchAndroid, which reached No 51. After performing Can't Stop Me Now on BBC 1's Strictly Come Dancing last weekend, Rod Stewart is heading back into the Top 10 with sales of his Capitol/Decca set Time up 215% to lift it 26-6 in the midweeks. It will be joined on this coming Sunday's chart by Rarities, a new Mercury/Virgin EMI compilation of early Rod Stewart solo material, including BBC sessions. It is new at 15 in the midweeks. The 1975's self-titled Dirty Hit/Polydor debut drops to 4 after debuting at No 1 last Sunday, while Richard & Adam's Sony album The Impossible Dream falls 4-8 and Virgin's Bastille are looking for a Top 10 return with Bad Blood up 12-10. The rush of new entries continues outside the Top 10 positions with the Silver Screen-issued Doctor Who - Series 7 soundtrack by Murray Gold debuting at 13 in the week so far. UK composer Gold has been musical director of the BBC series since 2005. Also arriving is Columbia's new Clash compilation The Clash Hits Back at No 17, US jazz star Gregory Porter with his first Blue Note album Liquid Spirit at 25 and Madonna with live Interscope/Polydor set MDNA World Tour at 37. A 59% week-on-week sales dip should not prevent Virgin act Katy Perry spending a second week at No 1 on the singles chart on Sunday with Roar, which is outselling its two closest rivals combined. They are Ellie Goulding with her former Polydor chart-topper Burn, which holds at 2, and Positiva/PRMS act Avicii remaining at No 3 with his own chart-topping Wake Me Up. There is little movement elsewhere among the top six sellers with the Island-issued Sonnentanz by Klankarussell featuring Will Heard holding at 4 and Drake's Cash Money/Repulic single Hold On We're Going Home feautring Majid Jordan up a place to 5 to swap positions with the Polydor track Summertime Sadness by Lana Del Rey Vs Cedric Gervais. Warner now has Coldplay on its books after buying Parlophone, but it is Universal which was forced to sell the company by the EU issuing the band's new single. It has Atlas, which is new at 7 in the midweeks, as it is from the soundtrack of the film The Hunger Games: Catching Fire issued on the major's Republic label. Having switched from Ministry of Sound to Epic, Example could be heading back into the Top 10 with his brand new track All The Wrong Places new at 9 in the midweeks. He has to date had five Top 10 hits, although his last two singles peaked at 37 and 46 respectively. OneRebublic could be heading to the UK Top 10 for the first time since 2008's Stop And Stare with Counting Stars up 13-8 in the week to date, while RCA act Miley Cyrus's We Can't Stop is down 7-10.

September 9, 201312 yr Author Midweek Charts update: Arctic Monkeys targetting year's highest sales Source: MW by Paul Willams Arctic Monkeys' AM could become the fastest-selling artist album of the year after clocking up more than 125,000 UK sales in just four days. The Domino album is a certainty to become the band's fifth UK chart-topper out of their first five releases on Sunday and has already accumulated the second highest weekly sales of 2013 for an artist album with two days of trading still to go. According to the Official Charts Company, it had sold 125,669 copies up to the end of Thursday, overtaking the opening tally of 121,415 achieved by Michael Buble's Reprise/Warner Bros album To Be Loved. Only Daft Punk's Columbia-issued Random Access Memories has sold more copies among artist titles during a week this year, shifting 165,091 units immediately after its release in May. The top three artist albums are all brand new releases and independent titles at this stage of the week with London Grammar's Metal & Dust Recordings/Ministry of Sound debut If You Wait at No 2 and Goldfrapp's new Mute set Tales Of Us at 3. There are two other new albums among the week so far's Top 10 with The Strypes' EMI debut Snapshot at No 5 and the Republic/XO/Island-issued Kiss Land by Weeknd at No 9. Rod Stewart's Capitol/Decca set Time will fly back into the Top 10 with sales up 185% in the week so far following his performance on BBC 1's Strictly Come Dancing last weekend. It has moved 26-6 in the midweeks. The 1975's self-titled Dirty Hit/Polydor label, which debuted at No 1 last Sunday, is now down to 4. Katy Perrry's Roar has now surpassed 250,000 UK sales in fewer than two weeks with the Virgin single destined to achieve a second week at No 1 this Sunday. It has sold around another 75,000 copies so far this week with its two nearest rivals the same as last weekend. Polydor act Ellie Goulding's Burn holds at 2 and Avicii's Postiva/PRMD-issued Wake Me Up at 3, while Drake's Cash Money/Republic/Island-issued Hold On We're Going Home featuring Majid Jordan climbs 6-4 and the Island track Sonnentanz (Sun Don't Shine) by Klangrussell featuring Will Heard is down 4-5. Macklemore & Ryan Lewis's self-released Same Love has flown 20-8 on its way to becoming the pair's third UK Top 10 hit, while Coldplay's new single Atlas is new at 8. It is issued on Universal's Republic babel as it is from the soundtrack to the film The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Friday Update Top 40 Only Top 40 Singles 1 Katy Perry - Roar (75k) 2 Ellie Goulding - Burn 3 Avicii - Wake Me Up 4 Drake feat.

September 9, 201312 yr Arctic Monkeys will obviously be number one, but I'm hoping London Grammar will be Top 3 and Goldfrapp Top 10. Would be nice if Madonna could get a fourth Top 20 live album but I'll be happy with Top 40. Then again, with previous debut sales 14k-22k-12k, it would be surprising if MDNA World Tour struggled to manage 5k to make the Top 20.
September 10, 201312 yr Arctic Monkeys will be number one but I hope they can sell 100k plus...I'm buying my copy today!!!! London Grammar should go in at 2 and Goldfrapp could start the week top 5 but finish low top 10 with a huge slump next week It would be great to see Katy Perry sell another 100k on the singles! I'm more excited to see how far One Republic can climb into the top 10 as its at 6 on iTunes!! Also hoping Arctic Monkeys will climb back into the top 20
September 10, 201312 yr London Grammar should be able to get #2 I *hope*. The 1975 will be their only real competition and I'd imagine they'll have quite a big dip (to <20k at least) to clear the way for LG.
September 10, 201312 yr Author Also I like to add Arcade Fire to chart at some point this week with Reflektor :wub:

You would think so but a lot of people don't know about it and secondly they might buy the DVD & CD set which I guess wouldn't be added to the cd & digital sales but she should surely pass 5k.
September 10, 201312 yr Author NewState Music @NewStateMusic 1h Whhooop! The Top 40 singles chart midweeks are in and @LethalBizzle 'Party Right' is looking DENCH for a strong new entry https://twitter.com/NewStateMusic
