September 30, 201312 yr Author Midweek Charts: Timberlake and Haim neck and neck for No 1 Source: MW by Paul Williams Justin Timberlake and Haim are in a close battle to top the UK artist albums chart with just 700 sales currently separating them. Timberlake's newly-issued RCA set The 20/20 Experience 2 Of 2 is ahead, but is being heavily pushed by LA band Haim's debut Polydor album Days Are Gone, which is showing up as a new entry at No 2, according to the Official Charts Company. The new Timberlake album comes just six months after its predecessor The 20/20 Experience debuted at No 1 with 105,894 first-week sales and has sold around 320,000 copies to date in the UK, while there was a gap of six years and six months between that and his previous album FutureSex/LoveSounds. Outside the 10, The 20/20 Experience - The Complete, which brings the two "Experience" albums together, registers as a new entry at 17 as the first album in the series drops a place to No 40. Orlando band Alter Bridge could be heading for their highest-charting album yet in the UK with the Roadrunner-issued Fortress presently appearing as a new entry at No 4. Their current UK peak of 9 was achieved by their last studio set AB III in 2010. There are two other brand new albums among the Top 10 sellers at this stage of the week with Dizzee Rascal's new Dirtee Skank/Island set The Fifth at No 9 and the EMI/Virgin EMI-issued Torus by Sub Focus at No 10. The Fifth is appropriately Dizzee Rascal's fifth studio album with his last three releases all having made the Top 10, including the last one Tongue N' Cheek, which came out in 2009 and made it to No 3. The new album's arrival comes as his new single Something Really Bad with will.i.am shows up as a new entry at 10 on the midweek singles chart. UK electronic music producer and artist Nick Douwama aka Sub Focus will achieve his highest-ranked album yet in the UK with Torus, which is his debut Universal effort and follows the No 51 placing of a self-titled release on Ram Records in 2009. Kings Of Leon topped the chart last Sunday with the Columbia-handled Mechanical Bull but now drop to 3 in the midweeks, while Arctic Monkeys' former chart-topper AM looks likely to retain its top five status with the Domino set easing 4-5 in the week so far. Drake's Cash Money/Republic album Nothing But The Same is now down to 6 after debuting at 2 last weekend, while Jessie J's Lava/Republic set Alive slips to 7 after starting last week at No 7. Meanwhile, London Grammar's Metal & Dust/Ministry of Sound album If You Wait drops a place to 8. The first week of Q4 brings a wealth of new entries into the listings with the four new entries in the Top 10 so far joined by nine more brand new albums between positions 11 and 40. They include The Frantic Four Reunion 2013, a Universal-issued Status Quo live album showing up on the Abbey Road label and bringing together again the band's classic 1970 to 1976 line-up. Other new albums cropping up are Moby's Innocents on his own Little Idiot label, Vertigo/Virgin EMI's Metallica with the soundtrack to Through The Years and sets from Transmission's Kids In Glass Houses, Napalm's The Answer, Hopeless's All Time Low, Trangressive's Johny Flynn and Turin Brakes with a first abum on Cooking Vinyl. UK indie pop four-piece The Vamps, who have supported the likes of Little Mix, McFly and The Wanted on tour, look like scoring an instant No 1 single with Can We Dance leading the midweeks. The EMI/Virgin EMI track is around 13,000 sales ahead currently of Interscope/Polydor act OneRepublic's Counting Stars, which climbs 3-2, while Warner Bros's Jason Derulo drops from No 1 to 3 with Talk Dirty featuring 2 Chainz. Virgin-signed Katy Perry's own former No 1 Roar drops 2-4, while Chase & Status are new at 5 with the EMI-issued Count On Me featuring Moko. The track is taken from the duo's forthcoming new album Brand New Machine, out next Monday (October 7). Hollywood/Polydor act Demi Lovato's Skyscraper, which received a big boost at retail last week after being covered by X Factor contestant Hannah Sheares, continues its ascent with weekly sales up 237% to move it 13-6. Meanwhile, Jason Mraz's Atlantic-issued I Won't Give Up, which reached No 11 last year, is a re-entry at 12 in the midweeks afetr being performed by 16-year-old Giles Potter on the ITV programme. Back in the Top 10 and Avicii's Postiva/PRMD single You Make Me falls 5-7 and Drake's Cash Money/Republic-issued Hold On We're Going Home featuring Majid Jordan is down 4-8. Macklemore & Ryan Lewis's Same Love on the Mackelmore label and featuring Mary Lambert is down 6-9 as Dizzee Rascal's new single completes the Top 10. A new Republic/Island single Get Like Me combining Nelly, Nicki Minaj and Pharrell Williams is new at 16 in the week so far, while X Factor 2012 contestant Lucy Spraggan's Last Night (Beer Fear), which reached No 11 last year after being self-released, is back at No 19 after her new label Columbia re-issued it. Two Door Cinema Club register at No 24 with their first Parlophone release Changing Of the Seasons after leaving indie Kistune, while there are also midweek Top 40 new entries for 3 Beat/AATW's Fuse ODG (featuring Elephant Man) and RCA's Maxsta (featuring Little Nikki).

September 30, 201312 yr Author Midweek Charts update: Haim narrow gap on Timberlake Source: MW by Paul Williams LA band Haim are closing the gap on Justin Timberlake with fewer than 30 sales now separating them at the top of the midweek artist albums chart. Timberlake's RCA set The 20/20 Experience - 2 Of 2 continues to lead, as it has all week, but its superiority has narrowed from around 700 sales over Haim's Polydor debut Days Are Gone at the beginning of the week to 28 at the end of trading on Thursday, according to Official Charts Company data. The two albums are among four brand new releases in the Top 10 positions at this stage of the week with Roadrunner act Alter Bridge's new set Fortress at 6 and Dizzee Rascal's Dirtee Skank/Island-issued The Fifth at 9. Dizzee's new single Something Really Bad with will.i.am is new at 10 on midweek singles. Kings Of Leon's Columbia-handled Mechanical Bull drops to 3 after debuting at No 1 last Sunday, while Domino act Arctic Monkeys' AM holds at 4 and Cash Money/Republic signing Drake's Nothing Was The Same falls 2-5. Although not as close as albums, the outcome of the singles chart this weekend is far from certain with new UK pop band The Vamps still out in front with the EMI-issued Can We Dance, but their lead is fewer than 6,000 sales as Interscope/Polydor's OneRepublic ramped up the pressure with Counting Stars, which climbs 3-2. Jason Derulo's Warner Bros single Talk Dirty with 2 Chainz falls 1-3 and Virgin signing Katy Perry's former No 1 Roar is down 2-4, while EMI/Virgin EMI's Chase & Status are new at 5 with Count On Me featuring Moko. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Friday Update Top 40 Only Singles 1 The Vamps - Can We Dance * (6,000 ahead!) 2 OneRepublic - Counting Stars 3 Jason Derulo feat. 2 Chainz - Talk Dirty 4 Katy Perry - Roar 5 Chase & Status feat.

September 30, 201312 yr It seems quite definite that Justin Timberlake will be #1 and HAIM at #2. Wouldn't be surprised if Justin managed over 100k judging by how well it's done on pre-orders and also how long it's been available for a pre-order, although it would be strange if it sold more on its first week than the first version. I'm hoping for 40k+ for HAIM - I see them quite similar to London Grammar in terms of the success of their singles but I think HAIM will do slightly better due to winning Sound Of... and there just generally being more hype for them. Drake and Kings of Leon will probably be fighting for the final position in the Top 3. Alter Bridge seem like they'll make the Top 10, Dizzee could make #9/10 but I think it might just miss out and Sub Focus low Top 20 (although it seems only fitting it makes the Top 15). Just watch how wrong my predictions will be! :P Edited September 30, 201312 yr by liamk97
September 30, 201312 yr I think the hype level is roughly the same for both HAIM and London Grammar, if not slightly more for LG. Sound of 2013 was a long time ago now, although HAIM seem to have managed to keep up interest to some extent with 'The Wire' going top 20.

Sound of 2013 was a long time ago now, although HAIM seem to have managed to keep up interest to some extent with 'The Wire' going top 20. I'd have though HAIM's sound would appeal to more people than London Grammar's though. I don't know, perhaps I'm just being a tad biased, as much as I like London Grammar.
October 1, 201312 yr Author Chris Craddock @ChrisMasonC 9m Cracking news that @HAIMtheband's debut album is amazingly 2 in the Album Midweeks and only 732 sales behind Justin Timberlake! https://twitter.com/ChrisMasonC
October 1, 201312 yr I think JT will get the number one album and Haim will hopefully finish at 2, with Drake at 3 and Kings of Leon falling to 4 maybe Singles chart is harder to call, I think the big battle is going to be between Katy Perry and One Republic but I don't think sales are going to be great, maybe as low as 45-50k!
October 1, 201312 yr Author Debbywebby @debbywebbyrocks 25m @theanswerrocks New Horizon No19 in the UK Midweek charts & No1 on the Amazon Hard Rock charts,a good start..keep it going in ROCKTOBER!!! https://twitter.com/debbywebbyrocks
October 1, 201312 yr Looks like Avicii should hit the million sales by Sunday. If he does, and Daft Punk's 'Get lucky' holds on... Along with Robin Thicke we'll have 3 million selling singles in the Top 40 (all on their original chart runs) at the same time. Anyone know the last time this happened?...I can't think. One Republic pinching No.1 this week would be amazing!!! :dance:
October 1, 201312 yr Great to see Justin and HAIM are the top 2 albums, hope it stays like that! Justin will probably increase his lead over the week like KOL did last week.
October 1, 201312 yr https://twitter.com/debbywebbyrocks Great to see a Northern Irish band in the top 20. Hopefully they hold on in the top 40 by Sunday.

Along with Robin Thicke we'll have 3 million selling singles in the Top 40 (all on their original chart runs) at the same time. Anyone know the last time this happened?...I can't think. Always assume with these kind of questions that late 1997 is the answer! :D Barbie Girl, Perfect Day, and Candle In The Wind 97 had all crossed the million mark before the end of 1997 and were in the top 10 at the same time
October 1, 201312 yr How will the 20/20 chart? Will the two editions chart separately, will there be one charting album, will sales of the deluxe version be counted towards vol. 1.... So many questions :P Edited October 1, 201312 yr by SKOB
October 1, 201312 yr @nickthematthews: 972 albums will get you in the Top 40 album midweeks. Quite incredible I think... Sales as good as ever then!
October 1, 201312 yr Guessing that The Vamps are #1 or #2 judging by their tweet and their Managers - @TheVampsband: We race for NUMBER ONE is on guys, Can we do it?! AHHHHH.... PLEASE KEEP SHARING and buy any version you haven't got! http://t.co/jtGbh5Effy@JoeJONeill: “@ClareBritt: Very happy to see that midweek for @TheVampsband. Congrats to the legend Richard Rashman and @JoeJONeill.” Thanks Clare
October 1, 201312 yr Guessing that The Vamps are #1 or #2 judging by their tweet and their Managers - I'd guess they are #2 or #3...if they were number 1 i would have been expecting them to be desperate enough to say 'we're number one so keep us there' I reckon they will probably do a Union J, chart top 3 on the midweeks but finish at 6 by Sunday!
October 1, 201312 yr @TheVampsband: We race for NUMBER ONE is on guys, Can we do it?! AHHHHH.... PLEASE KEEP SHARING and buy any version you haven't got! http://t.co/jtGbh5Effy God that REEKS of desperation!
