^^ Sorry i mean when you purchase a single before the album it will be seperate from the album on your ipod and then you have to chose 'complete my album' when buying the album, anyone know how to stop this?

OK, as I don't have an Ipod I don't know. Can't you just drag the single mp3 into the same folder as those from the album?

You can change the album tag by right clicking on a song and going to 'get info'. (On a computer anyway. Not idea how you would do this on an iPod but it's probably similar).

Is One Direction sale based only on their first entrie on the chart, or is this a combined versions of all of their entries + CDs?

100% digital sales for One Direction. Their CD single isn't out until November 11th, which will benefit their third week in the charts.

thanks

Those potential sales from cd singles could be what could cost the number 1 this week, as i am sure they would easily manage 5,000 cd sales.

01 - Eminem - The Monster (feat. Rihanna) - 115,000

02 - One Direction - Story Of My Life - 105,000

03 - Lorde - Royals - 72,000

04 - Fat Boy Slim - Eat, Sleep, Rave, Repeat (feat. Calvin Harris) - 65,000

05 - The Wanted - Show Me Love (America) - 56,000

07 - Tinie Tempah - Children Of The Sun (feat. John Martin) - 44,000

 

Really than eminem's # 1 ?

That's not so much 'smart' as 'not terminally idiotic' though.

 

We are talking about record companies though - if they can manage to toss their collective 1 brain cell across the boardroom it is deemed a success.

Midweek Charts: Arcade Fire on course for second UK chart-topper

by Paul Williams

 

Arcade Fire are heading for their second UK No 1 album as One Direction and Fatboy Slim battle for singles honours.

 

The Canadian band's newly-issued Sonovox/Virgin EMI set Reflektor currently leads the midweeks by a margin of three sales to one over its nearest challenger, Virgin act Katy Perry's Prism, according to the Official Charts Company. Their last album The Suburbs reached No 1 in 2010.

 

There are four other brand new albums among the Top 10 artist sellers in the week to date, while a busy week for singles has Syco act One Direction a few thousand sales ahead of Fatboy Slim with their newly-issued track Story Of My Life.

 

The album arrivals include at No 3 the self-titled debut album by RCA's Union J, who finished fourth on last year's The X Factor, while the programme's 2010 winner Matt Cardle is back with his third album Porcelain at No 7 in the week so far. His debut Letters on Sony reached No 2 in 2011 and follow-up The Fire on the So What label via Silva Screen made it to No 8 last year. The new album is released on his own Matt Cardle label with distribution via Absolute.

 

Having debuted at No 1 on the singles chart last Sunday, New Zealander Lorde now has a UK hit album on her hands with the Virgin-issued Pure Heroine new at 4 on the midweeks. Her single Royals has dropped to 3 on Sales Flashes.

 

Warner Bros's Linkin Park complete the Top 10 album entries with Recharged, which includes remixes of tracks from their last studio set Living Things, at No 10, while Chas & Dave are on course for their first charting album since the Telstar title Street Party reached No 3 in 1995 with the Warner-issued That's What Happens new at 17 in the week to date.

 

Following their performance last week on BBC Two's Later...With Jools Holland, Domino's Arctic Monkeys experiece a 43% hike in sales of AM, although it drops 4-6 in the midweeks. Ahead of it, Atlantic's James Bunt falls 2-5 with Moon Landing, while London Grammar's Metal & Dust/Ministry of Sound album If You Wait is up a place to No 8 and Island act John Newman's Tribute is down 3-9.

 

Following his death last Sunday, Lou Reed is heading for a chart return with his classic album Transformer, which is back at No 24 in the midweeks. It originally reached No 13 in 1972. Its two most famous cuts, Walk Perfect Day and Walk On The Wild Side, show up in the midweek singles chart at Nos 36 and 39 respectively. Although Walk On The Wild Side has been a hit before - reaching No 10 in 1972 - for Perfect Day it will be the first time it has ever made the Top 75 in its original version. However, a multi-artist cover, including Reed, did top the chart in 1997.

 

There could also be a first ever Top 75 appearance for Reed's former band The Velvet Underground's first album The Velvet Underground & Nico. Now handled by Polydor/UMC, the 1967 debut has never charted in the UK, despite being regarded as one of the most influential and best albums of all time.

 

Reed will be joined in this coming weekend's chart by his long-time fan Boy George whose This Is What I Do album on his own Very Me label via Kobalt is new at 26 in the midweeks. His last charted album was Cheapness And Beauty, which reached No 44 in 1995.

 

Tied in with the release of the Paul Potts biopic One Chance starring James Corden, a new Syco retrospective The Greatest Hits shows up at 29 in the midweeks, while Ram/Virgin-signed drum & bass act Wilkinson's first album Lazers Not Incuded is new at 33.

 

On midweek singles Story Of My Life is aiming to become One Direction's fourth UK chart-topper, although faces tough competition from Skint act Fatboy Slim's Eat Sleep Rave Repeat, which is new at No 2 and only around 4,000 sales behind. The track, featuring Riva Starr and Beardyman, is on course to become Norman Cook's first UK Top 10 hit in his own right since Star 69/Weapon Of Choice in 2001, although he did co-write and produce Rizzle Kicks' Mama Do The Hump, which reached No 2 in 2012.

 

As Lorde's Royals drops to 3, Global Talent/Island's The Wanted are new at 4 with in Show Me Love (America) what looks like becoming their third UK Top 10 single this year and ninth in all. Interscope/Polydor's OneRepublic drop 3-5 with Counting Stars as Katy Perry's Virgin single Roar slips 4-6, while singer-songwriter Louisa Allen aka Foxes is heading for a first UK hit with the Sign Of The Times/Epic-issued Youth new at 7.

 

Parlophone's Tinie Tempah follows his top three hit Trampoline featuring 2 Chainz by registering as a new entry at No 8 in the midweeks with Children Of The Sun featuring John Martin. Both are taken from his second studio album Demonstration out on Monday (November 4).

 

Eminem is heading for his fourth hit single in as many weeks with The Monster followng Berzerk, Survival and Rap God. The new Interscope/Polydor track is new at 9 in the midweeks and like his 2010 hit Love The Way You Lie features Rihanna. Completing the Top 10 is Syco act James Arthur's You're Nobody 'Til Somebody Loves You, which is down to 10 after debuting at No 2 last Sunday.

 

Like Eminem, Justin Bieber is also heading for a fourth hit single in four weeks with the Def Jam/Virgin EMI-issued Recovery new at 15 in the week so far.

Yeah ive been on my iphone mainly, dont think you can ammend it there though. Thanks for the advice. Although ive never been able to add my iphone data onto my laptop :(. Il survive anyhow listening to songs 1 & 2 then moving up to the single which is track 3 :lol:

Story of My Life is 4000 copies ahead of Fatboy Slim according to the OCC twitter

I think the top 5 will end up as...

 

1) Eminem/Rihanna

2) One Direction (Lorde could take this, but the video premiere will probably keep them ahead)

3) Lorde

4) Fatboy Slim/Riva Starr

5) One Republic (or Tinie Tempah)

1. One Direction* (4k ahead of #2)

2. Fat Boy Slim*

3. Lorde

4. The Wanted* (13k behind #1)

 

Iy means that yesterday 1D sold only 1-2 k copies more than fat boy slim and the wanted

My prediction for Sunday -

 

1) One Direction

2) Eminem/Rihanna

3) Lorde

4) Fatboy Slim

5) Tinie Tempah

 

Hopefully the top 7 will break 50k too :)

Thanks Liam for doing the honours, my internet is just annoying me at the moment.

 

 

 

Nice MW report and long could have done with some actual sales figures... oh well... better than nothing

Excellent start for Matt Cardle, please hold up.

Is James Arthur No 6 or 10 perhaps?

Looks like there was missing data for Arcade Fire yesterday - I suspected that might be the case.

 

GWON Matt Cardle. Really hope he can hang onto the top 10.
