November 11, 201312 yr Author Midweek Charts: Lady Gaga's Artpop in frame for No 1 Source: MW by Paul Williams Lady Gaga is heading for her third UK No 1 album in another crowded week for frontline releases. Her newly-issued set Artpop has a lead of 58% over Columbia act Celine Dion's Loved Me Back To Life at No 2 in the latest midweeks, while her Interscope/Polydor colleague Eminem drops 1-3 with The Marshall Mathers LP 2, according to the Official Charts Company. However, while Artpop should follow her previous studio albums The Fame and Born This Way by topping the UK artists albums chart it has its work cut out coming near to the first-week sales of Born This Way. That sold 215,639 copies to debut at No 1 in May 2011, while up to the end of trading on Tuesday Artpop had sold fewer than 50,000 copies. Dion's ranking at No 2 in the week to date follows her chatting but not performing on Jonathan Ross's ITV show last Saturday then singing the following night on the same channel's The X Factor. It is her first English language album since Taking Chances, which reached No 5 in the UK in 2007. Her new single Loved Me Back To Life, which she performed on The X Factor, rises 75-12 in the midweeks. There are currently seven brand new albums among the Top 10, almost matching the arrivals on last week's chart when the entire top seven were new entries for the first time and another new release debuted at No 9 (Global Talent/Island act The Wanted's Word Of Mouth). The debutants this week include Littkle Mix with their second Syco album Salute, which is new at No 4 in the latest Sales Flashes, a place below where their debut DNA peaked almost a year ago, while Vertigo/Virgin EMI act The Killers' first retrospective Direct Hits registers as a new entry at No 5. Decca's Alfie Boe is aiming for a fourth Top 10 album with Trust new at 7 in the week to date, while On Air - Live At The BBC - Vol 2, the first Beatles album of previously-unissued material since Universal acquired EMI, is new at 8. The Apple Corps/UMC album follows 19 years after a first volume of Beatles BBC sessions reached No 1 and is back at 38 in the midweeks after being remastered and reissued. A collection of the two albums is new at 63. Island's Keane complete the Top 10 entries in the week so far with The Best Of new at 10, making it very likely their perfect score of five No 1s from five albums will end. Eminem at No 3 leads the three survivors from last week's Top 10 with the others remaining being RCA's Elvis Presley set The Nation's Favourite Elvis Songs climbing 7-6 and James Arthur's self-titled Syco debut down 2-9. Cliff Richard's Rhino debut The Fabulous Rock 'n' Roll Book is just a few hundred sales short of the Top 10 at present, appearing as a new entry at 11, while DMG TV's Daniel O'Donnell is new at 14 in the week so far with A Picture Of You. Sony Classical's Russell Watson enters at 19 with Only One Man and Mute's Erasure are new at 21 with Snow Globe. Dutch DJ Martin Garrix is heading for No 1 on the UK singles chart this Sunday with the Virgin-issued Animals, having already scored chart success across mainland Europe and elsewhere. It topped the charts in both Belgium markets, while reached No 3 in his native Netherlands and 4 in Germany and Sweden. After debuting in the John Lewis Christmas ad, Parlophone act Lily Allen's Keane cover Somewhere Only We Know is new at No 2 in the midweeks. It is set to become her first Top 10 hit since Not Fair reached No 4 in 2009, while Keane's original is back at No 3 having previously reached No 3 in 2004. Interscope act Eminem's The Monster featuring Rihanna drops 2-3 as Little Mix's Syco single Move loses a place to No 4. The Defected/Ministry of Sound single Look Right Through by Storm Queen is now down to 5 after debuting at No 1 last Sunday, while Polydor act Ellie Goulding's How Long Will I Love You races 117-6. Virgin act Lorde's former No 1 Royals drops 4-7 as the Royal British Legion's official single for its Poppy appeal - The Call (No Need To Goodbye) by the Poppy Girls - turns up as a new entry at No 8. The Decca single comprises young daughters of men serving in the armed forces. As her album heads for No 1, Lay Gaga is aiming for another Top 10 single with the Interscope/Polydor-issud Do What U Want with R Kelly new at 9 in the midweeks as Syco act One Direction's Story Of My Life drops 5-10. Island act Robbie Williams is new at 11 in the week to date with Go Gentle after he performed it on last Sunday's The X Factor, while Def Jam/Virgin EMI's Justin Bieber is set for a sixth hit in as many weeks with All Bad new at 17 currently. Meanwhile, Verigo/Virgin EMI act The Killers' enter at 25 with Shot At The Night.

November 11, 201312 yr Probably only one week, as Robbie's album is out next week. I don't expect it to sell a huge amount but probably enough to beat Gaga's 2nd week. (Jake Bugg also releases his second album next week, which should complete the top 3 unless Eminem is still selling strongly).
November 11, 201312 yr I'm calling it Eminem to beat Gaga to #1 this week. The meltdown will be epic. Eminem wont have as steep a fall this week as normal, as the album was released Tuesday, so it is actually not even had a week on sale yet.
November 11, 201312 yr Probably only one week, as Robbie's album is out next week. I don't expect it to sell a huge amount but probably enough to beat Gaga's 2nd week. (Jake Bugg also releases his second album next week, which should complete the top 3 unless Eminem is still selling strongly). Quite fitting that Robbie Williams - one of the biggest soloists of the UK - should receive the 1000th number one album.
November 11, 201312 yr Right enough Robbie could be the 1000th no1 album, would be Brillant!!!!!! Eminem to remain at true top this week - he's over here this week promoting on either Wossy or Norton, can't remember which?
November 12, 201312 yr as long as Celine has another top 5 album ill be happy! Queen is still relevant!
November 12, 201312 yr Can't remember the last time I could be so confident about the number one act on the singles and album charts!!?? I think we could see 5/6 new entries in the album chart top 10 with Little Mix or Celine Dion at 3, Eminem at 2 and Gaga at 1 On the singles, again I can see 5 new entries top 10 especially now that Do What U Want will be chart eligible! Eminem will slip to 3, Lily Allen in at 2 then hopefully number one next week and Martin Garrix at 1 with sales of 125k but I'd love to see 150k given the amount of time the pre orders were hanging around the top 100 on iTunes!
November 12, 201312 yr "Other hot new album releases from... Celine Dion, Cliff Richard, Alfie Boe, The Beatles, Roger Taylor, Erasure, Jamie Lenman, Daniel O'Donnell, Russell Watson, The Who and a Xmas songbook album from Kim Wilde." Teens are rushing to stores as we speak.
November 12, 201312 yr The way Lilys single is catching up both the top 2 could break 100k this week!
November 12, 201312 yr Author on twitter nick stewart @colonelstewart 20m So close @SirCliffNews no 11 in early midweeks. result of great promo,as you once sang "congratulations.... https://twitter.com/colonelstewart

Celine Dion, Cliff Richard, Alfie Boe, The Beatles, Roger Taylor, Erasure, Jamie Lenman, Daniel O'Donnell, Russell Watson, The Who and a Xmas songbook album from Kim Wilde." Teens are rushing to stores as we speak. They wouldn't have to rush to overtake zimmer-frames... :lol:
November 12, 201312 yr Looking like Lady GaGa, Little Mix, Celine Dion and The Killers along with Eminem will make up the top 5 albums, last week we had 8 new albums in the top ten, could see something similar this week- Alfie Boe and Keane should also make top ten, I expect another strong week for Elvis as well
November 12, 201312 yr Midweeks @lilyallen #2 - looks like she won't make #1 unless she has lots of TV appearances this week, Martin Garrix outselling by 86% - dandanmusicman HUGE gap, but I guess it could be true.
November 12, 201312 yr - dandanmusicman HUGE gap, but I guess it could be true. Yeah, it could be true, I think when it's said like that the gap sounds bigger than it is. If he's on course for 150k then him being 86% ahead would mean that Lily's on ~80.6k, which doesn't sound unreasonable.
November 12, 201312 yr Author HUGE gap, but I guess it could be true. That is a huge gap, its most likely true. By 86% christ surely that's well over 130k for the week
