New releases this week courtesy of MasterJon and ManicKangaroo

 

Kele Okereke – Heartbreaker

Sub Focus - Turn Back Time

 

(yeah, there wasn't really much point of even including the new release list this week)

I'm wondering if any songs from Anchorman 2 will chart this week? "Doby" for shock #1.

Sub Focus - Turn Back Time

 

This song might have a large fall on its release week. :(

Lack of releases hopefully means Beyonce can go top 40 with 'XO'!

Anything new will struggle against the gift-voucher effect.

Although with Christmas Day being on a Wednesday this year the 'gift card effect' will be somewhat diluted, being split over two chart weeks.

Interestingly it was released last Friday.

Perhaps, but it does seem to be very concentrated in the first 2-3 days after Xmas...

AC/DC to keep climbing please!

Not gonna happen - as soon as the Xmas #1 is announced, the campaign dies, whether it succceeded or failed.

Oh my. Just from top 100 AC/DC are on 0.8791 making them second only to pharell, that's shocking. I thought song campaigns died off, not got stronger as the week went on! Madness!

I know this isn't the best place for this, but this week's sales & YTD threads will soon be archived, so no-one would see it.

 

This is my spreadsheet that lists the number of singles/albums that have passed each sales threshold, at any given point in the year :

Ha... pretty quiet in here over night, coming for that shortest iTunes thread ever. :lol:

It'll soon liven up after the big Xmas day/Boxing day shake up. This week's releases are only of interest to Pavel.

Not expecting much of a boost this year. Last years shake up was fairly minimal if I remember correctly and as already pointed out it will be split over two weeks

Is there an official chart this coming weekend or is it the end of year chart instead?

Last year's gift card effect broke the record for highest singles sales in a week again so not exactly 'minimal' :P I think with the recent trend in singles sales though there probably will be a slightly lesser impact than we've been used to the last few years. But it should still be pretty big.

 

I wouldn't say it's split over 2 weeks anyway, there'll be 4 days of the effect this week and that'll probably cover most of it. It doesn't really last a full week anyway.

Sorry, what I meant was in terms of shaking up the chart, it was pretty minimal (compared to previous years at least)

Both

I guess so. I suppose the boost was a bit more concentrated to songs that were already high up the chart maybe.

 

These were the climbers within the top 40 that week (probably not all gift card related):
