Posted October 18, 201311 yr Gary Barlow- Since I saw you Last, did badly with his first album, but people are interested in him again and he has sold well for his tour dates. # One Direction-Midnight Memories do well and have good pre- orders Susan Boyle- Home for Christmas also is a great seller and would appeal to the Christmas market. X factor- Greatest hits is time fitting and has a great tracklist. I cant call it. I think if Gary has the Take That support, he may just take it. Edited October 18, 201311 yr by Buzzmusic
October 18, 201311 yr Well, I would fathom One Direction would be #1, with Gary a close second. SuBo will be in the 5-8 region and X Factor GH could be anywhere really.
October 18, 201311 yr Well, I would fathom One Direction would be #1, with Gary a close second. SuBo will be in the 5-8 region and X Factor GH could be anywhere really. I'd go with that, although I'd imagine SuBo will be Top 5.
October 18, 201311 yr One Direction will easily have the #1 there. Are people overestimating how many people will actually enjoy a Gary Barlow album? There are plenty Take That fans, but I imagine One Direction's fanbase will be considerably larger.
October 18, 201311 yr Wouldn't the XF GH be a compilation album? Just thinking the same. It will go in the Compilation chart! SuBo's sales have been steadily falling every year so I'll say 1D at No.1 with Gary Barlow top 5. Edited October 18, 201311 yr by Common Sense
October 18, 201311 yr The X-Factor album will be up against the might of Now 86 on the compilation charts
October 18, 201311 yr I'd prefer Gary to win the battle. He is by far the most creative and talented. X Factor are just completly milking it by releasing a 10th anniversary album. Half of those hits are so dire they don't deserve to be on any album.
October 18, 201311 yr What a god-awful album that X-Factor one is. Very much a "where did they go" list. How many of them have been dropped very silently and sent back to their day job in Asda? No Steve Brookstein either!

No Steve Brookstein either! Hardly, I think that would be the case if they actually did include the ones who we'd be asking ourselves "Who even are they?" or "What exactly have they done since winning/leaving?"
October 18, 201311 yr Don't underestimate the Barlow. He has just sold out an arena tour and could beat 1D to the top.
October 18, 201311 yr Agree with John except SuBo may miss the top 10 this time I think. I think she would have but for it being an Xmas album.
October 18, 201311 yr 1D and Gary will both have big sales but 1D have this easily, probably helped by an X-Factor performance (it would make perfect sense to have one the night before the album drops) SuBo could be anywhere between 5 and 15 really, hard to predict.
October 18, 201311 yr 1D and Gary will both have big sales but 1D have this easily, probably helped by an X-Factor performance (it would make perfect sense to have one the night before the album drops) So we're probably looking at a week 7 performance from them in that case, unless they're promoting 'Story of My Life' as a single and not 'Midnight Memories'.
October 18, 201311 yr I think Borelow will win, although I'd love them all to lose tbh! I can see all the Take That fans and Take That fans' kids running out to buy it for themselves/for Christmas. Same with Robbie's new album!
October 19, 201311 yr Relevant as Gary may be as a public figure, I still think his youth appeal is virtually zilch. The lonely housewives market will be strong though, so honestly I could see it going either way between the two. Susan will be lucky to make the top 10, her time is well and truly over.
October 19, 201311 yr Susan Boyle will probably do somewhat better than expected but One Direction will top the charts followed by Gary Barlow.
October 19, 201311 yr If memory serves, a lot of people wrote off Gary's Sing last year - then before you knew it, it had 2 versions inside the top 6 on iTunes. Gary will have an XF slot and he'll be doing a lot of UK focused promo - CIN Rocks, JR etc and he sold out all his arena shows. I wouldn't write him off!
October 19, 201311 yr I would never understand why someone would willingly put themselves through a Gary Barlow song, let alone album.
