January 21, 201412 yr Author Midweek Charts: Clean Bandit, Vamps, Neon Jungle heading for top five Source: MW by Paul Williams Clean Bandit are poised for their first UK No 1 single as newly-issued tracks by The Vamps and Neon Jungle look to break into this weekend's top five. The Atlantic-signed British band's Rather Be featuring Jess Glynne had already sold more than 90,000 copies this week up to the end of business on Tuesday, according to the Official Charts Company, with fellow new releases by The Vamps and Neon Jungle at 2 and 4 in the midweeks. Clean Bandit's highest-charting hit on the countdown until now is Mozart's House, which reached No 17 last year, while RCA girl band Neon Jungle are also set to score a new chart high this Sunday with new single Braveheart set to beat the No 12 peak achieved by Trouble last year. With Clean Bandit more than 30,000 sales ahead, EMI's The Vamps are likely to have to settle for another single entering at No 2. The UK group's debut single Can We Dance arrived and peaked in runner-up position last October and now follow-up Wild Heart appears on course to do the same. Between the three new entries, Pharrell Williams' Happy has dropped 1-3 in the week so far, while fellow RCA-handled Timber by Pitbull featuring Kesha falls 2-3 and the Positiva/PRMD-issued Hey Brother by Avicii is down 3-6. Warner Bros act Jason Derulo's Trumpets slips 4-7, 3 Beat/AATW singles Million Pound Girl (Badder Than Bad) by Fuse ODG and Control by Matrix & Futurebound featuring Max Marshall are down 6-8 and 8-10 respectively, while between them Polydor-signed Ellie Goulding's How Long Will I Love You drops 7-9 in the week so far. Sales of Infectious act Vance Joy's Riptide are up 47% to lift it 18-12 on midweeks, while Parlophone artist Tinie Tempah's Lover Not A Fighter featuring Labrinth improves 27-17 with sales up 37%. Also looking to climb into the Top 20 is the Disney/Universal single Let It Go by Idina Menzel as it rises 31-20 in the week so far. Several acts are taking advantage of another very quiet albums market as they look to achieve new career chart peaks or higher scoring debuts than previous albums. In the case of Sophie Ellis-Bextor her new title Wanderlust, self-released on the EBGB's label, is showing up as new entry at 4 in the latest artist album midweeks, 29 places higher than where its predecessor Make A Scene landed in 2011. Rough Trade's US indie rock band Warpaint look to be heading for the Top 10 for the first time with their second album The Fool new at 5 in the week so far. Their debut album reached No 41 in 2010. Meanwhile, Scottish abnd Mogwai's new album Rave Tapes, released on their Rock Action label, is new at 6 as it looks to beat their previous best peak of 23 achieved by Rock Action in 2001. Above the new albums, Polydor's Ellie Goulding leads the midweeks with Halycon, having dropped down to No 2 on last Sunday's chart. The album that replaced it at No 1, Columbia act Bruce Springsteen's High Hopes, is now down to 2 in the week so far, while Beyonce's self-titled RCA-handled album holds at 3. James Blunt's Atlantic/Custard set Moon Landing is heading back into the Top 10 after he chatted and performed on Jonathan Ross's ITV show last Saturday. It climbs 23-7 with sales up 118%, while just outside the Top 10 Island act Keane's The Best Of rises 26-11 with sales up 158% following their performance on Graham Norton's BBC One programme last Friday. Completing the Top 10 at this stage of the week, Positiva/PRMD act Avicii's True is down 6-8, Virgin band Bastille's Bad Blood drops 4-9 and Gary Barlow's Polydor-issued Since I Saw You Last slides 5-10. Mike & The Mechanics have the only brand new album to chart in the midweek Top 40 outside the Top 10 positions with the Virgin-issued The Singles - 1986-2014 new at 22.

January 21, 201412 yr The Vamps won't be number 1 but their first week sales are going to be higher than Can We Dance! :o 77k is less than I'd have hoped for Clean Bandit, they should still do 150k though.
January 21, 201412 yr Impressive sales for Clean Bandit. 77k in two days is brilliant. Not that it's really that suprising but still..
January 21, 201412 yr The Vamps won't be number 1 but their first week sales are going to be higher than Can We Dance! :o Can We Dance is also back inside the top 40, only just.
January 21, 201412 yr What the hell at Sophie's album position :o This should have been the case for her previous album!
January 21, 201412 yr The Vamps on roughly 57k? :o Very happy that they're already only 10k behind the first week sales of "Can We Dance", can't be displeased with that. :D
January 21, 201412 yr forget Sophie, how the hell did WARPAINT get in the top 5?! :o Granted it'll be lucky to stay top 10 by Sunday, but that's great for them!
January 21, 201412 yr What the hell at Sophie's album position :o This should have been the case for her previous album! Mind you Sophie is just 89 copies ahead
January 21, 201412 yr Decent enough for Rather Be - pre orders must have been 50k or so nothing special considering it was in the top 40 on preorders for a month nearly before release. Wonder how much it would have sold each week if it was actually on sale?! Should still do 175-200k by Sunday which is amazing. Surprised how high The Vamps are -they should make 100k too although theyll slow down alot between now & Sunday probabaly just making it - can Happy break 100k too - 3 songs over that total would be unreal!! Album sales for the no1 will barely be 20k - good thing is these low sales allow Warpaint to go top 10 :)!!
January 21, 201412 yr Mind you Sophie is just 89 copies ahead Ahh, I suppose it's better than being 89 copies ahead of #41.
January 21, 201412 yr And we have a little Tues update Clean Bandit #1 on sales of 77k, The Vamps 20k behind CB, Pharrell at #3 (300 copies ahead), Neon Jungle at #4 Pitbull at #5, no other new entries in the top 40, big climbers for Tinie Tempah at #19, Idina Menzel #20, Beyonce [XO] #25, Macklemore [White Walls] #35 Ellie #1 on sales of 5.8k, Bruce Springsteen just 500 copies behind, Beyonce #3, Warpaint #4, Sophie Ellis Bextor #5, other new entries for Mogwai #6, Mike & The Mechanics #24, high climbers for James Blunt #7, Keane #11 I've never heard of 'Warpaint'?
