October 15, 201312 yr Author He used to be in Bros (massive boyband in the 1980s). With his brother Luke and the drummer was Craig Logan, no I'm not a fan, I'm just a sad chart geek -_- I grab my coat now :ph34r:
October 15, 201312 yr Mint Royale Exciting chart this week. No, really. Top 7 albums all new entries, and under 2000 sales between the top 3 singles.
October 15, 201312 yr So new entries this week are coming from... •Cher •John Newman •The Saturdays •Gary Numan •Fall Out Boy •Paul McCartney •Lissie •Eliza DooLittle •Pearl Jam •Giggs •Jonathon & Charlotte •Will Young •Matt Goss why do The Saturdays ALWAYS choose the busiest release weeks (bar What About Us?) FML.
October 15, 201312 yr He used to be in Bros (massive boyband in the 1980s). They were massive for little over a year to be fair, til just after Ken left. I liked most of their singles but Matt sang like a Michael Jackson tribute act half the time. He's never married but was engaged for 5 years to Daisy Fuentes and said of his next relationship "This person put so much stock on what was happening on Facebook that I found it exhausting” Wouldn't it be easier to just say "she"? I digress, are we expecting sales to be up a lot this week then if there's 7 new entries in the top 10?
October 16, 201312 yr I'm hoping Gloria Estefan will chart in the top 100. Her album wasn't in the top 200 iTunes at all on Monday but is now in the top 80 because she was on The One Show. She's got her gig at the Royal Albert Hall tomorrow, An appearance/performance on Alan Titchmarsh tomorrow and she's got a Daybreak interview at some point. Might have been this morning. Hopefully that will keep her in the charts this week.
October 16, 201312 yr Iggy at 8 in the mids :D gives me hope that it could finish Top 10 on Sunday after all! Edited October 16, 201312 yr by mango
October 16, 201312 yr Midweek Charts: John Newman heads crowded albums market Source: MW by Paul Williams John Newman is leading an extremely busy UK artist albums market as he looks to debut at No 1 this weekend with Tribute. The newly-issued Island album is one of seven brand new releases currently occupying places in the midweek Top 10 with the list also including new sets from the likes of Pearl Jam, Paul McCartney and Cher, according to the Official Charts Company. Newman, who topped the UK singles chart with his debut solo release Love Me Again, has opened up a narrow lead with his first Island album and presently faces his main competition from Pearl Jam with Lightning Bolt, their 10th studio album in all but first on the EMI label. Their previous album Backspacer reached No 9 in 2009. Cher returns with the Warner-issued Closer To The Truth, her first album since 2001's Living Proof, and it is new at 3 in the latest Sales Flashes. Its first single I Hope You Find It, which she performed on the X Factor results show on ITV last Sunday, is new at 24 on midweek singles. Paul McCartney's Hearmusic set New, which includes production contributions from Paul Epworth and Mark Ronson, shows up as a new entry at 4. His last studio album Kisses On The Bottom, which featured mainly covers, reached No 3 early last year, while his last album of all new material, Memory Almost Full, hit No 5 in 2007. The hefty number of brand new albums charting high continues with 2012 Britain's Got Talent runners-up Jonathan & Charlotte's second Sony Classical album Perhaps Love new at 5, while Polydor act The Saturdays' fourth studio album Living For The Weekend is new at 6. The album should improve on the peak of the group's last album, Your Radar, which made it to No 23 in 2011. Meanwhile, Gary Numan is heading for his first Top 40 album since The Fury in 1985 with the Cooking Vinyl set Splinter (Songs From A Broken Mind) new at 10 in the lastest midweeks. Although its final chart position will very likely be lower, it should still mark a big improvement on his last album, 2011's Dead Son Rising, which missed out on a Top 75 place, going as high as 87. Columbia artist Lissie's second album Back To Forever is new at 11, while Arctic Monkeys lead the survivors from last Sunday's chart with their fifth Domino effort AM dropping 3-7. Having debuted at No 1 last weekend with her first UK albums chart-topper, RCA's Miley Cyrus is now down to 8 with Bangerz. Another eight brand new abums are on course to chart in or around the Top 40 on Sunday and include what would be former Bros man Matt Goss's first solo hit album. The Decca set Life You Imagine is currently showng up as a new entry at 20. Other new albums heading for the chart include sets from SN1's Giggs, Roadrunner's Trivium, Will Young with an RCA best of and Parlophone's Eliza Doolittle. By comparison to albums, the singles market is relatively quiet and is led again by Interscope/Polydor's OneRepublic who lost their crown last Sunday with Counting Stars but have bounced back 3-1 in the midweeks. Just behind, RCA's Miley Cyrus drops 1-2 with Wrecking Ball while as a new entry at 3 is Global Talent/Polydor act Lawson's Juliet. James Blunt climbs 6-4 with the Atlantic-issued Bonfire Heart while Ram/Virgin's drum & bass act Wilkinson, who has been getting A list support at Radio 1, is new at 5 with Afterflow. Debuting at 2 last Sunday, Interscope/Polydor's Eminem makes a hasty drop to 6 with Berzerk, while Parlophone's Conor Maynward falls 4-7 with R U Crazy in its second week at retail. EMI act Izzy Azalea could be heading for her first Top 10 hit after Top 20 successes with Work and Bounce with Change Your Life featuring TI new at 8 as Virgin's Kay Perry drops 7-9 with Roar. After debuting at 14 last weekend with Heartbreaker, Def Jam/Virgin EMI's Justin Bieber is already back with a strong showing as All That Matters turns up at 10 in the midweeks.

October 16, 201312 yr Not content with shocking everyone by entering at #6 last week, James Blunt now CLIMBING to #4! Who'd have thunk it? And 3 guitar-based songs in the Top 5 :o
October 16, 201312 yr Author According to the Official Charts Company’s latest sales data, there is currently just over 4,000 copies separating this week’s Top 3, with OneRepublic’s Counting Stars leading the race to Number 1 with at this midway stage.
October 16, 201312 yr Excellent stuff for Wilkinson on the singles chart and John Newman on the album chart. :cheer:
October 16, 201312 yr I'm hoping The Sats may climb into the top 5 come Sunday. I don't think Johnathan and Charlotte will hold up.
October 16, 201312 yr Seems like another week of lots of new entries but not many songs climbing this week. OneRepublic, James Blunt, Ellie Goulding and Ylvis are the only climbers in the entire top 40. Ellie will probably end up dropping as what little boost she got from XF wears off again. Not surprised at all at James Blunt looking set to climb into the top 5 though considering he had a bit of late week promotion last week, 'Bonfire Heart' could be here to stay for a while I think. Fab to see 'Afterglow' in the top 5 at the moment, should drop down to 7-8 or so by the end of the week but that's still really good. Hope 'Rap God' can end the week in the top 5, still increasing on iTunes at the moment. Bieber might struggle to even go top 20 at the rate 'All That Matters' is plummeting on iTunes but then I guess 'Heartbreaker' ended up a lot higher than iTunes may have suggested. Don Broco looking good to hold onto the top 40 I should think, similar to Two Door Cinema Club. OUCH at Eliza Doolittle's album - if she'd released it after 'Big When I Was Little' it would have easily gone top 10 I think but all her remaining hype seems to have died now.
October 16, 201312 yr John Newman #1! :cheer: Cher and Paul McCartney Top 5! :cheer: The Saturdays Top 10! :cheer: Shame there's a lot of big fallers though - HAIM especially :( - but hopefully they will climb by Sunday. Plus sales outside the Top 10 will be a lot better than usual considering the amount of new entries.
October 16, 201312 yr Made up for Iggy! :D So pleased she managed to get a Top 10, hopefully it has decent longevity.
October 16, 201312 yr 23 Eliza Doolittle - In Your Hands :manson: I thought it would at least go top 20.... I bet it falls out of the top 30 by Sunday. :snif: Such a great album as well! Edited October 16, 201312 yr by Envoirment
October 16, 201312 yr OUCH at Eliza Doolittle's album - if she'd released it after 'Big When I Was Little' it would have easily gone top 10 I think but all her remaining hype seems to have died now. Completely agree. I was just saying the same thing. An album release 1 or 2 weeks after BWIWL would have been perfect. She did massive promotion for that single. It was also at the time when album sales were ridiculously low. Remember Travis entered at No.3 on sales of 9k at that time. Poor Eliza unlikely to have a Top 20 now. :(
