:lol:

 

They often flopped at the beginning and (floppy) end too, they can come back!

 

Sounds like they need some Viagra... :lol:

Someones made a slip up as Macklemore & Coldplay can't both be at 8 :huh:

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.

Arcade Fire still outside the top 40 then, but in the 30s on iTunes still and Swedish House Mafia are down to #78 so there should be at least one place going.

Singles recap, Starship, Justin Timberlake, Tinie Tempah, Ray Foxx, Beyonce, You Me At 6 have left the top 40 chart from last week, notable big faller comes from Neon Jungle down to #27 (flush!!!). I think Katy Perry could just come under or over 100k for the week, it be pretty close.

 

 

Albums recap, big fallers from Rizzle Kicks #18, Naughty Boy #20, Avenged Sevenfold #31, Nine Inch Nails #35 and Ariana Grande #40. There are only 5 album climbers from Rod Stewart, Bastille, Tom Odell, Bruno Mars and Macklemore, the seven new albums in the top 15, have pushed most of the albums down.

Hope The 1975 can cling into the Top 40 come Sunday. Would be great to see them re-entering this week.

Olly is top 40 with both DD & RPRT Mikey :P

I know, I blame MW, -_- different table format. :P

Can't believe those sales for AM this week, I can see it beating Daft Punk especially with them being in the live lounge today :wub:

 

Good to see London Grammar still at 2!!

 

Otherwise, nothing else really to mention apart from Katy Perry could do another 100k by Sunday which would be great

Any updates for nine inch nails .?thanka

 

 

I'm hopeful that, with Coldplay dropping on iTunes, it'll fall out of the top 10 by Sunday, giving Gaga another week in there.

The position is given away in the above commentary underneath the mids in my next post.

Is Gaga still #11 today??

You answered your own question there :P

Im the opposite lol want another top 10 for a legendary band like Coldplay. Id also like Drake/One Republic to overtake Avicci & Ellie because this will be there last chance to peak so high.

 

Would be gutted and disgusted if a old song keeps Arcade Fire out of the top 40!!

Same Love top 10? Delighted. :) :)

I in no way expected Olly Murs to make the top 30 this week with right place right time, in fact i was sure it would leave the top 40, really impressed with it now.

Top 3 albums are the same as Wednesday's update, woo! :cheer: Arctic Monkeys to manage ~150k come Sunday then?

Looks like Arctics won't beat the 1st week sales of Daft Punk then, but I imagine they'll outsell them in the long run as RAM bombed after the initial big sales.

Is Gaga still #11 today??

 

BTW, she entered the YTD T100 at #98 this week.
