October 7, 201312 yr Author Midweek Charts: Cyrus aiming for chart-topping double Source: MW by Paul Williams Miley Cyrus could debut at No 1 on both UK singles and artist albums this weekend with Wrecking Ball and Bangerz leading their respective markets. The RCA-issued Wrecking Ball has opened up a comfortable lead of around 18,500 sales on singles, but Bangerz faces a tougher battle to top Sunday's chart with Chase & Status only about 4,500 units behind, according to the Official Charts Company. Wrecking Balls leads the busiest week of the year so far for brand new singles with seven of the week's top eight sellers new releases as it looks to become her second No 1 after last single We Can't Stop topped the chart. They others come from Eminem, Conor Maynard, The Saturdays, James Blunt, John Newman and Justin Bieber with the pattern broken only by Interscope/Polydor act OneRepublic's Counting Stars, which climbed to No 1 last Sunday but drops to 5 in the midweeks. Eminem's own Interscope/Polydor single Berzerk is new at 2 in the latest midweeks as it looks to become his first Top 10 hit since Love The Way You Lie with Rihanna reached No 2 in 2010 and finished as the year's overall top seller. R U Crazy will deliver Conor Maynard a fifth consecutive Top 10 hit as it registers as a new entry at 3 in the midweeks and will become the first Top 10 single for Parlophone since it came under Warner ownership. The Saturdays are looking for their 13th Top 10 hit with the Polydor track Disco Love new at 4 in the week so far, while Atlantic's James Blunt could be shaping up for his first Top 10 success since the track 1973 in 2007 with Bonfire Heart new at 6. Just behind it at 7 is Island act John Newman's brand new Cheating, the follow-up to his chart-topping Love Me Again, while Def Jam/Virgin EMI's Justin Bieber completes the Top 10 entries with Heartbreaker new at 8 in the week so far. Besides OneRepublic, the other two survivors from last Sunday's Top 10 are Virgin act Katy Perry's Roar and Jason Derulo featuring 2 Chainz' Warner Bros-issued Talk Dirty, which fall 4-9 and 3-10 respectively at this stage of the week. EMI act The Vamps are down to 11 having debuted at 2 last weekend with Can We Dance. Miley Cyrus' place at the top of midweek artist albums could lead to her first UK No 1 in this market and follows her previous albums under her own name - so excluding any Hannah Montana releases - all going Top 10. She could condemn Chase & Status to a second album peaking at No 2 after 2011s No More Idols with follow-up Brand New Machine presently in runners-up position. Also new to the Top 10 at this stage of the week are Lucy Spraggan, arriving at No 6 with her Columbia debut Join The Club, and Panic At The Disco whose Decaydance/Fueled By Ramen/Atlantic album Too Weird To Live Too Rare To Die is at 8. Its final chart position should be a big improvement on the band's last album, Vices & Virtues, which reached No 29 in 2011. Polydor's Haim beat Justin Timberlake to No 1 last album and their album Days Are Gone is holding up better in week two, despite dropping to No 4 in the midweeks with a 64% decline. Timberlake's RCA set The 20/20 Experience - 2 Of 2 drops 2-9 with sales declining 75%. Despite the high number of new entries in recent weeks, Domino act Arctic Monkeys' AM is continuing to hang around at the top end of the chart, holding at 4 in the week so far, while the Columbia-handled Mechanical Bull by Kings Of Leon drops 3-5. Drake also loses a couple of places, down 5-7 with the Cash Money/Republic/Island set Nothing Was The Same, while London Grammar's Metal & Dust/Ministry of Sound set If You Wait drops 8-10. Korn lead the new entries outside the Top 10 with The Paradigm Shift, released through Spinefarm, new at 11 and likley to result in a much bigger first-week splash than their last efforts, The Path Of Totality, which made it to No 68 in 2011. Prefab Sprout are also enjoying improved fortunes in terms of chart positions with Crimson/Red, out via Icebreaker, new at 13. It is the act's first album since 2009 and likely to deliver their best peak since Andromeda Heights reached No 7 in 1997. Other brand new albums set to debut in or around the Top 40 this Sunday include Sunday Best's Dan Le Sac Vs Scroobius Pip, Domino's Anna Calvi, Rhino's Rush and a pair from BMG with new sets from The Fratellis and The Feeling.

October 7, 201312 yr Author Midweek Charts update: Cyrus heading for another 100,000 opener Source: MW by Paul Williams Miley Cyrus is heading for her second 100,000-plus week-one total of 2013 in the UK as Wrecking Ball heads to No 1. Her newly-issued RCA single had sold around 85,000 copies up to the end of business on Thursday, according to the Official Charts Company, giving it a comfortable lead of nearly 30,000 units over its nearest rival Berzerk by Interscope/Polydor act Eminem. Wrecking Ball will become Cyrus's second UK No 1, coming immediately after the first, We Can't Stop, which led the market for a week in August. It sold 128,159 copies first week and has now reached total sales of around 375,000. Cyrus and Eminem's singles are among six brand new tracks within the Top 10 in the week so far with Parlophone act Conor Maynard's R U Crazy at 3, Polydor's The Saturdays at 5 with Disco Love, James Blunt's Atlantic-issued Bonfire Heart at 6 and Island signing John Newman's Cheating at 7. Just outside the 10 is Def Jam/Virgin EMI artist Justin Bieber's newly-issued single Heartbreaker. Last Sunday's No 1, Interscope/Polydor act OneRepublic's Counting Stars, is now down to 4. Cyrus is also leading the artist albums market at present in her quest for a first No 1 in that market with Bangerz around 4,500 sales ahead of EMI act Chase & Status's new set Brand New Machine at 2. Domino act Arctic Monkeys' AM has moved back up 4-3 to swap places with Columbia-handled Kings Of Leon's Mechanical Bull, while Polydor's Haim drop to 5 with Days Are Gone after debuting at No 1 last Sunday. The Top 10 also includes brand new albums from Columbia's Lucy Spraggan and Decaydance/Fueled By Ramen/Atlantic's Panic At The Disco. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Friday Update Top 40 Only 1 Miley Cyrus - Wrecking Ball * (84,3k) 2 Eminem - Berzerk * (57k) 3 Conor Maynard - R U Crazy * (48,8k) 4 OneRepublic - Counting Stars (41,4k) 5 The Saturdays - Disco Love * (40,9k) 6-10 6 James Blunt - Bonfire Heart * 7 John Newman - Cheating * 11-20 11 Justin Bieber - Heartbreaker * 21-30 30 Ylvis - The Fox * ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Albums 1 Miley Cyrus - Bangerz * (24,6)k 2 Chase And Status - Brand New Machine * (20k) 3 Arctic Monkeys - AM (12k) 4 Kings Of Leon - Mechanical Bull (10,7k) 5 HAIM - Days Are Gone (10,6k) 6-10 6 Lucy Spraggan - Join The Club * 9 Panic!

October 7, 201312 yr I fear Miley will do the double this week but I'm hoping Chase & Status might just beat her on the album chart! It looks like we could end up with anything between 5 and 6 new entries inside the top 10...just not happy that Eminem, Miley and Justin will be so high up the chart

Wrecking Ball is brilliant :cry: if you ignore the artist it really isn't that bad. We Can't Stop was a complete mess though and did not deserve to be no.1 imo <_<
October 7, 201312 yr I hope Chase & Status can get the #1 album but it would take a miracle for them to beat Miley.
October 7, 201312 yr I can sense the Top 5 singles this week will be one of the most hated of all time. :lol:
October 7, 201312 yr I hope Chase & Status can get the #1 album but it would take a miracle for them to beat Miley. I think it's impossible. She is very popular at the moment.
October 8, 201312 yr so does anyone think come Sunday we will actually have 7 new entries in the top 10? Miley, eminem, bieber, conor and saturdays I would definitely say yes. John Newman and James Blunt I am not 100% sure about can see them being 11 and 12
October 8, 201312 yr I hope not. 2 or 3 in side the top 10 should be plenty. It's not as if the Top 10 at the moment is clogged up with songs that have been there for ages and needs a clearout
October 8, 201312 yr so does anyone think come Sunday we will actually have 7 new entries in the top 10? Miley, eminem, bieber, conor and saturdays I would definitely say yes. John Newman and James Blunt I am not 100% sure about can see them being 11 and 12 I think we might end up with maybe 4-5 new entries but 7 is unlikely. Miley, Eminem and Conor are a shoe-in, and surprisingly I think The Sats are guaranteed too. Bieber however is decreasing fast on iTunes atm, and I wouldn't be surprised if he ended up just outside the Top 10. I think John will squeeze in to the bottom of the Top 10 while James might just miss it. I'm gonna be optimistic and predict: #01 (NE) Miley Cyrus - Wrecking Ball #02 (NE) Eminem - Berzerk #03 (NE) Conor Maynard - R U Crazy #04 (01) OneRepublic - Counting Stars #05 (NE) The Saturdays - Disco Love #06 (04) Katy Perry - Roar #07 (03) Jason Derulo - Talk Dirty #08 (NE) John Newman - Cheating #09 (06) Avicii - You Make Me #10 (NE) James Blunt - Bonfire Heart Edited October 8, 201312 yr by jafetsigfinns
October 8, 201312 yr I read on Twitter that 'Disco Love' is midweek #4! https://twitter.com/thebeanboy23/status/387531742632218624
October 8, 201312 yr I really hope we can get 7 new entries top 10, it'd be great to have a clearout even if not all of them are stale. Great to see The Sats being definites for top 10, hopefully it can end up at #6 come Sunday. :lol:
October 8, 201312 yr The Fratellis have another album, didn't they break up? Yeah, but then they got back together. :P I am hoping dan le sac vs. Scroobius Pip can chart reasonably well. In the current sales climate, maybe even top 20.
October 8, 201312 yr I predict 6 new entries by Sunday and estimate sales for the top 3: NE 1 Miley Cyrus (130k) NE 2 Eminem (75k) NE 3 Conor Maynard (70k) 1 4 One Republic 4 5 Katy Perry NE 6 The Saturdays NE 7 John Newman 3 8 Jason Derulo 2 9 The Vamps NE 10 James Blunt
October 8, 201312 yr I read on Twitter that 'Disco Love' is midweek #4! https://twitter.com/thebeanboy23/status/387531742632218624 Just a shame they chose to release Gentlemen instead of this as the follow up to What About Us as I reckon it could have given them a top 3 hit, if not a second number 1 but maybe that's too optimistic!!
October 8, 201312 yr I can't see the Vamps holding as high as 9. 12-13 would be my guess. It's a hard one to call as it could be Avicii or the Vamps completing the top 10! I would rather see Chase & Status get a second week top 10 but it won't happen unless the album version climbs the iTunes chart! As long as its not Justin 'waste of space' Bieber... Guess we'll have to see tomorrow!
