February 25, 201412 yr A re-release of 'Your Arsenal'. (It feels like Morrissey is re-releasing his entire discography recently :drama:) Yeah with no decent unreleased gems either! He's supposed to be recording something new at the moment. (not the Girls Aloud song!)
February 25, 201412 yr btw... Nina Nesbitt is out of the 40 I did think that would happen, how shameful for the album that was midweek #1 last week to drop out of the top 40 in its second week though. I don't like her at all, but I can't help feeling a bit sorry for her.
February 25, 201412 yr A bit of news already in from Twitter. @Reverend_Makers: WOW. NO.5 IN THE MIDWEEK CHART 2ND HIGHEST NEW ENTRY #GetTheRevToNumberOne Only £5 here http://t.co/FjEaQ4QNAA Sorry, you'd have to pay me a lot more than that to listen to it.
February 25, 201412 yr Sorry, you'd have to pay me a lot more than that to listen to it. :lol: I just copy and pasted his tweet. I used to like Heavy Weight Champion Of The World and a few other of his tracks, but don't think enough now to get the album.
February 26, 201412 yr btw... Nina Nesbitt is out of the 40 Oh dear...hope she has a plan B if the music career doesn't work out :lol: Shocked to see Tiesto at 4, though AGBW or Katy will overtake this by Sunday so ill say Tiesto will end up 5/6
February 26, 201412 yr There's an outside chance of D:Ream getting back in the Top 40 this weekend with 'Things Can Only Get Better' - for some reason Sunderland FC have adopted it as their cup final anthem. I won't be buying it though - too many images of Blair popping into my head...
February 26, 201412 yr Author Wednesday Update Top 40 Only Source: Radio 1/OCC Top 40 Singles Pharrell Williams’ Happy looks set to return to No 1 as it heads towards a million UK sales. After closing the Brit Awards last week, the RCA-handled track rises 2-1 in the midweeks with sales up 28%, according to the Official Charts Company, putting it on course for a fourth non-consecutive week at No 1. The single initially spent a week in charge at the end of 2013, then returned for a fortnight in January when the chart has since been led for four weeks by Clean Bandit and for a week by Sam Smith. Its likely return to the top comes as its cumulative UK sales came within 10,000 units on Tuesday of surpassing the million mark. Happy’s rise pushes Sam Smith’s Capitol-issued Money On My Mind down to No 2 having debuted at No 1 last Sunday. Clean Bandit’s Atlantic track Rather Be featuring Jess Glynne holds at No 3, while Dutch DJ, musician and producer Tiesto is vying for his highest-charting single yet in the UK with the Virgin track Red Lights showing up as a new entry at No 4 in the week so far. His present best showing is No 13 in 2010, achieved by C’mon (Catch ‘Em By Surprise) featuring Diplo and Busta Rhymes. There are two other brand new tracks in the Top 10 in the week so far courtesy of Foxes and Paloma Faith. Foxes’ second Sign Of The Times/Epic single Let’s Go For Tonight is new at 7 in the week so far and follows Youth reaching No 12 last year, while Faith is aiming for a second Top 10 single with Can’t Rely On You currently debuting at No 8. Picking Up The Pieces, her only UK Top 10 hit so far, reached No 7 in 2012. John Legend is nearing his own second Top 10 single with the Columbia-issued All Of Me racing 29-10 with sales up 153%. His Ordinary People, originally a hit in 2005, broke into the Top 10 for the first time in 2012 and reached No 4 after exposure as a cover song on BBC 1’s The Voice. A place above All Of Me, Zedd's Interscope/Polydor single Stay The Night featuring Hayley Williams drops 5-9. Although it dips 5-6 in the midweeks, Katy Perry’s Virgin single Dark Horse with Juicy J has more than doubled in sales compared to a week ago after it featured on last Wednesday’s Brit Awards. Also on the way down are RCA-signed A Great Big World featuring Christina Aguilera with Say Something, which drops 4-6. The Brits mash-up of Bastille’s Pompeii and Rudimental featuring Ella Eyre’s Waiting All Night, released jointly by Warner’s Asylum and Universal’s Virgin, rises 21-15, while Polydor act Ellie Goulding moves into the midweek Top 20 with Goodness Gracious up 26-16. Also benefitting from its Brits exposure is Beyonce’s RCA-handled XO, moving 23-20 with sales up 185%. Meanwhile, nearly three decades after first becoming a hit, Starship’s Eighties classic We Built This City could be returning to the Top 40. Peaking at No 12 in the UK and No 1 in the US, the RCA single climbs 184-40 in the midweeks following its exposure in a TV ad for Three. - Source: MW by, Paul Williams 1 Pharrell - Happy (36.6k) 2 Sam Smith - Money On My Mind (26.8k) 3 Clean Bandit feat.

The US artist’s EMI album Morning Phase is showing up as a new entry at No 1 in the week so far, but is just a few hundred sales behind Virgin act Bastille’s Bad Blood. Not much further below the pair are Arctic Monkeys at No 3 with their fifth Domino effort AM. Although Morning Phase will face a battle to remain at No 1 by the time the week’s full chart is published on Sunday, it looks likely to deliver a new UK chart peak for Beck. His best showing to date is No 9, achieved by his last studio set Modern Guilt in 2008. Sales of Bastille’s album, which returned to No 1 last Sunday, are up 158% on the week as it drops 1-2 in the midweeks, while Arctic Monkeys’ 2-3 chart fall is accompanied by their sales increasing 161%. Immediately below Bastille and Arctic Monkeys are four other Brits performers with Polydor act Ellie Goulding’s Halcyon holding at No 4, Beyonce’s self-titled RCA album up 7-5, Disclosure’s PMR/Island debut Settle dropping 3-6 and Asylum/Atlantic’s Rudimental slipping 5-7 with Home. Besides Arctic Monkeys, Domino also has Wild Beasts in the midweek Top 10 with the act’s fourth album Present Time new at No 8. A place below it is Reverend & The Makers’ newly-issued Thirtytwo, their second for Cooking Vinyl and fourth overall. The group have only once made the Top 10, reaching No 5 in 2007 with Wall of Sound debut The State Of Things. Metal & Dust Recordings/Ministry of Sound’s London Grammar round off the Top 10 with If You Wait dropping 6-10, while US singer-songwriter St Vincent leads the brand new entries outside the 10. Her self-titled album on the Loma Vista album is new at 12 in the week so far as Interscope/Polydor’s US rapper Schoolboy Q is new at 15 with Oxymoron. A Rhino re-issue of Morrissey’s 1992 album Your Arsenal is new at 32 and Neneh Cherry arrives at No 34 in the week to date with Blank Project, her first studio album since 1996. It is released on the Smalltown Supersound label. US country star Eric Church completes the brand new entries to the Top 40 with his Decca effort The Outsiders at No 38. It debuted at No 1 on the Billboard 200 chart last week, shifting 288,000 copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan. - Source: MW by, Paul Williams 1 Beck - Morning Phase (7.7k) * 2 Bastille - Bad Blood (7.2k) 3 Arctic Monkeys - AM (6.5k) 4 Ellie Goulding - Halcyon (6.2k) 5 Beyoncé - BEYONCÉ (5.3k) 6-10 8 Wild Beasts - Present Tense * 9 Reverend & The Makers - ThirtyTwo * 11-20 12 St. Vincent - St. Vincent * 15 ScHoolboy Q - Oxymoron * 21-30 21 John Legend - Love In The Future 25 Katy Perry - PRISM 27 Michael Bublé - To Be Loved ^ 31-40 32 Morrissey - Your Arsenal ^ 34 Neneh Cherry - Blank Project * 37 Fleetwood Mac - The Very Best Of ^ 38 Eric Church - The Outsiders * http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/chart/updatealbums/print
February 26, 201412 yr Shame about 'Peppermint'. :( I hope Paloma can keep top 10, although I do think #11 is a certainty.
February 26, 201412 yr Bastille will likely get another week at #1 then :dance:. I imagine the top 5 singles on Sunday will be Pharrell>Clean Bandit>Sam>Katy>A Great Big World. I'm still in awe that 'Happy' will cross the million mark at #1. Any word on Katy B's positions in both charts? EDIT: Sorry, forgot I can check for myself!
February 26, 201412 yr Yay, I knew 'Goodness Gracious' would go top 20 this week. Nice to have a new highest non-top 10 peak for her.
February 26, 201412 yr Yay, I knew 'Goodness Gracious' would go top 20 this week. Nice to have a new highest non-top 10 peak for her. If I understand you correctly, would 'Explosions' at #13 not need to be overtaken? :P (Or 'Wonderman' if you count that!) Edited February 26, 201412 yr by noahspike
February 26, 201412 yr Looks like Tiësto definitely won't hold on to #4 then, I hope it can stay top 5 but I have a feeling that AGBW will overtake him. Lol at Starship getting their 2nd top 40 re-entry in less than 6 months since the last one. Slaying all your 80s faves B-) Great to see 'Goodness Gracious' going top 20 too!
February 26, 201412 yr I think 'Goodness Gracious' could still go top 10 now - it's taken its time but seems to be picking up quickly now. Kid Ink back in the top 40 again :drama: If he'd been one place lower last week this would be the second time the track has tumbled all the way out of the top 75 before rebounding back into the top 40. No clue what has sparked it to climb 39 places as of today's update?! ScHoolboy Q is a little lower than I expected he would be today, I thought he'd be low top 10 today before dropping to the low top 20 by Sunday. Might miss the top 20 then.
