Last chart of the year is always debatable :lol: I would say the week ending of 29th December, week ending 4th Jan is probably the first week of the new chart of 2014, according to OCC, but its sales belong to 2013.

Given 1D are looking at a minimum of 120,000 this week perhaps more on 360,000 for 2 weeks with at least 2 perhaps 3 weeks left now looking like they could challenge Emeli for No.1 does anyone know if the last week is the one ending the 29th Dec or 4th Jan

I think it's between them, Robbie and Emeli.

I think Poo Direction's sales will start to rise again before Christmas so I'd say they probably will overtake Emeli now unfortunately...

The last chart of the year will be that dated 4/1/14, covering sales from 22-28th Dec.

Can't see Robbie selling enough if I'm honest.

Probably, I'm just desperately casting around for any possibilities to save us from Emeli yet again :drama:

Yes, a different year's best-seller would be nice.

Week 1 – 155,316 (#1) Week 1 237,358 +52%

Week 2 – 72,497 (#2) Week 2 124,535 +71%

Week 1& 2 227,813 Week 1&2 361,893 +59%

 

Week 3 – 73,825 (#2)

Week 4 – 75,956 (#3)

Week 5 – 90,602 (#6)

 

week 1-5 468, 196 week 1-5 if 1D will sell 59% more ≈ 744 k, it should be enough to be no.1

Somewhere's already awarded Emeli Sande the accolade, recall it popping up on my Twitter, haha.

That's a pretty good way of trying to predict it :) either way I reckon it will end up being really close between the two.

It definitely will end up as close race, it's even quite possible that Emeli will have best selling album of the year, but 1D will have best selling album between 1st january 2013 and 31st December :) .

You mean the way Keane were awarded the accolade one year only to be beaten by the Scissor Sisters in the last few days of the year.

week 1&2&3 + Christmas week+ week after Christmas 449,15 if One Direction will sell 60% more, they will be ≈ 719 k, Emeli sold 658 k, it's highly unlike that she will sell more than 60k in last 2 weeks

Looking like 1D and maybe Buble will beat Emeli. Emeli on around 655-660. 1D now 483,000 and Buble on 532,000

No.43 sold 10,118, Emeli is #45, so we can assume that she also sold 10k last week, and 658 this year.

:wacko:

 

Seriously now, how many chart weeks remaining for 2013?

 

Xmas week should be the last of this year. It should be so even if Saturday was January 1st, not to mention a Wednesday January 1st. Regardless what I may believe, did the week following xmas count for the current years chart before?

 

If there is only one week remaining 1D will have to sell at least 220k to get the no1 B-) In this case 1D could even finish 3rd behind Buble's 600k. (there is little chance of that happening though)

 

 

If for some bizarre reason the week after xmas still counts they still need to do 150k-70k.

There are 2 weeks remaining of 2013, the charts announced on the 22nd and 29th and dated 28/12 and 04/01 respectively.

there are 2 weeks left. And 1D are only 175,000 behind Emeli. Bearing in mind around Xmas the number 1 album can do 150-300 in a week they have a real chance

Plus, as I said in the other thread, the chart announced on the 29th will hopefully have decent sales too (maybe 100k for the #1?) since it will have 3 Xmas shopping days going towards it.
