Posted March 24, 201412 yr Sunday Chart Predictions Australian pop rock band 5 Seconds of Summer have been gathering a fan-base on YouTube for a while and now their first single 'She Looks So Perfect' is proving to be a big contender for the #1 spot. However Duke Dumont is still going strong with his house record 'I Got U' so it will be an interesting race. Also looking to be high new entries is FAUL & Wad Ad vs. Pnau's 'Changes' which has seen big support from Radio 1, Martin Garrix - known for his #1 with 'Animals' last year - with new single 'Wizard' and Plastik Funk & Tujamo's 'Dr Who!'. It's Mother's Day this Sunday which means George Michael is a contender for the #1 spot again in the albums, as is the debut album from X Factor winner Sam Bailey and collaborative album of ex-Dr. Feelgood member Wilko Johnson and current-The Who member Roger Daltrey. Other new and not so mumsie entries should come from Foster the People, Shakira and My Chemical Romance (well actually, I'm getting this for my mum!). Also released this week is the Avicii-remix of his album True which will presumably be combined with sales of the original, so expect a boost for that. ======================================================= Please note new changes to the Sunday Chart Predictions thread topic: Tuesday/Thursday - There will be no mids from MW for Tuesday and Thursday.

March 24, 201412 yr Author Midweek Single Charts: 5 Seconds of Summer shining at No 1 Australian pop band 5 Seconds Of Summer are set to score an instant UK No 1 single with She Looks So Perfect. The Capitol track has already reached No 3 in their home territory and No 4 in New Zealand, while has this week so far already sold more than 70,000 copies in the UK to give it a lead of around 45,000 sales as the top of the midweek chart, according to the Official Charts Company. The chart could be heading for an Australian-flavoured top two with Sydney dance duo Pnau featured on Changes, a new entry at No 2 by French electronic duo Faul & Wad Ad. The track, already a big hit on the continent where its run of successes includes topping the chart in Germany, is released in the UK by Relentless/Epic. The dance theme of the week’s top sellers continues with the Blasé Boys Club/Virgin EMI-issued I Got U by Duke Dumont featuring Jax Jones dropping 1-3 and Dutch pair Martin Garrix and Jay Hardway new at with Wizard on Positiva/Virgin. Jess Glynne continues to have two simultaneous Top 10 hits in the week so far with Rinse/Virgin EMI act Route 94’s My Love on which she features dropping 2-5 and Atlantic-signed Clean Bandit’s Rather Be also guest starring her dropping 7-8. Columbia act John Legend hit a new UK singles peak of No 3 last weekend with All Of Me, but it now drops 3-6 as the RCA-handled Happy by Pharrell Williams falls 4-7, Virgin act Katy Perry’s Dark Horse featuring Juicy J loses a place to 8 and Ministry of Sound track Tsunami (Jump) by DVBSS & Borgeous featuring Tinie Tempah falls 5-10. Record producer Tujamo is new at 12 in the midweeks with the 3 Beat/AATW-issued Dr Who with fellow Germans Plastik Funk, while Interscope/Polydor’s OneRepublic are back up 22-14 with former No 1 Counting Stars after they performed it on the first live results show of the current series of BBC One’s The Voice. Sales of the single rise 119% on the week, while parent album Native is up 29-15 on the midweek artist albums chart with sales improving 251%. The Parlophone single Shake That by Dansson and Marlon Hoffstadt completes the brand new entries in the Top 40 by arriving at No 27 in the week to date. - Source: MW, by Paul Williams ::~ Midweeek Album Charts: Sam Bailey powering to No 1 Sam Bailey could become the first X Factor UK winner to score a No 1 debut album since 2008 victor Alexandra Burke as she heads the midweek chart. Her introductory Syco set The Power Of Love currently has a sales lead of just under 40% over its nearest challenger, Wilko Johnson and Roger Daltrey with Going Back Home, according to Official Charts Company data. If Bailey’s album does make it to No 1 when the full-week chart is published on Sunday it will be the first debut offering by a winner of the ITV show to do so since Alexandra Burke’s Overcome in 2009. After Burke won the programme the previous year all the following years’ champs have fallen short of topping the chart with their first album. The 2009 victor Joe McElderry peaked at 3 with Wide Awake, 2010 winner Matt Cardle made it to No 2 with Letters, 2011 champs Little Mix reached No 3 with DNA and James Arthur made it to runner-up spot with his self-titled debut after winning in 2012. Newly-released like Bailey’s album this week, Wilko Johnson and Roger Daltrey’s pairing on the legendary Chess label via Universal could give the two veterans their highest-chart placing for several decades. It is currently at No 2 in the midweeks, Daltrey’s highest ranking since The Who album Face Dances made it to the same spot in 1981, while Johnson is set to rise higher than he has since Dr Feelgood’s live album Stupidity reached No 1 in 1976. Also new to the Top 10 at this stage of the week are My Chemical Romance with their first retrospective May Death Never Stop You, released exactly a year after the band announced they were splitting. The Reprise/Warner Bros set is presently new at No 4, a few hundred sales behind George Michael’s EMI set Symphonica, which falls 1-3 with sales down 48% in the week so far. RCA act Paloma Faith’s A Perfect Contradiction slips 4-6 in its third week on sale as Columbia-signed John Legend’s Love In The Future holds at 7 but with sales up 18% and Fiction/Polydor act Elbow drop 5-8 with The Take Off And Landing Of Everything. Parlophone’s Kylie Minogue drops to No 9 with Kiss Me Once after debuting at 2 last weekend and Shakira’s new self-titled RAC set is new at 10. Celebrating 40 years since its original release, Elton John’s Goodbye Yellow Brick Road is heading for a chart return this weekend in a newly expanded version. It originally topped the UK chart following its release in October 1973 and now the Mercury album is new at No 11 in the midweeks after being boosted by an additional disc to its original two-disc package with new versions of some of the songs by acts including Ed Sheeran and Emeli Sande and vintage concert recordings by Elton John from the Hammersmith Odeon. Columbia act Foster The People’s second album Supermodel registers as a new entry at 12, the same place where their debut Torches peaked, while veteran UK rock band Magnum look to be on the verge of scoring their first Top 40 album since 1992’s Sleepwalking. That reached No 27, while the new set Escape From The Shadow Garden via Steamhammer/SPV Recordings is new at 17 in the week to date. In another busy week for new albums, other acts with brand new sets in the Top 40 in the week so far are Heavenly’s Jimi Goodwin, a Provogue pairing of Beth Hart and Joe Bonamassa, Hold Steady on Washington Square/Razor & Tie and Toseland on the label 52 Music. - Source: MW, by Paul Williams ::~ Wednesday Update Top 40 Only Source: Radio 1/OCC Top 40 Singles 1 5 Seconds Of Summer - She Looks So Perfect (71.6k) * 2 FAUL and Wad Ad vs. Pnau - Changes (26.8k) * 3 Duke Dumont feat.

March 25, 201412 yr I would be really pleased if Sam Bailey can make number 1, if that does happen she will be the first x factor to make number 1 since Alexandra Burke, unless im missing someone out, as both Matt Cardle and James Arthur peaked at 2, Little Mix were 3 and Joe McElderry number 4 (i think)
March 25, 201412 yr Joe also had a #2 album (with his second album, the debut got to #3). On a related note I will be updating the X Factor artists chart thread some time this week / next week ~ I have a feeling now that Sam Bailey might lose out to Wilko Johnson/Roger Daltrey.
March 25, 201412 yr Won't that Avicii album chart separately, its only a remix album, a la Lady Gaga, hmmm, the album tracks will obviously get combined to the original singles.
March 25, 201412 yr I would be really pleased if Sam Bailey can make number 1, if that does happen she will be the first x factor to make number 1 since Alexandra Burke, unless im missing someone out, as both Matt Cardle and James Arthur peaked at 2, Little Mix were 3 and Joe McElderry number 4 (i think) Diana Vickers?
March 25, 201412 yr Diana Vickers? I would think he meant X Factor winners. As 1D have had a #1 album too
March 25, 201412 yr Interesting week on the album charts, I noticed the Everly Brothers have a greatest hits album out, that might chart. One album which I think isn't going to do as well as I would have expected is the new one from The Hold Steady
March 25, 201412 yr Sam Bailey should easily be #1 as the sales in general are pretty low. 50k should be enough and that's not much for an X Factor winner on Mother's Day week
March 25, 201412 yr Sam Bailey heading for No.1 with debut album The Power of Love By Lewis Corner Tuesday, Mar 25 2014, 11:55 GMT Source: Digitalspy Sam Bailey is currently on course to hit number one in the UK this weekend. The X Factor winner's debut album The Power of Love is currently leading the midweek chart after its first day on sale. Sam Bailey 'The Power Of Love' album artwork. The album is currently 4,000 copies ahead of its nearest rival, which is Wilko Johnson and Roger Daltrey's Going Back Home at number two, reports Official Charts Company. If Bailey manages to secure the number one position on the UK album chart this Sunday (March 30), it will be the first X Factor winner's album to do so since Alexandra Burke. Burke landed at number one with Overcome in 2009, but following winners Joe McElderry, Matt Cardle, Little Mix and James Arthur all failed to hit the top spot with their winner's efforts. Bailey's new album The Power of Love features her winner's single 'Skyscraper', as well as Nicole Scherzinger duet 'And I Am Telling You'.
March 25, 201412 yr Any news if Kylie is hanging on to a top 10 spot in albums or has it crashed lower? fingers crossed
March 25, 201412 yr So she's not even that far ahead of #2? It'd be pretty funny if it even misses out by Sunday...
March 25, 201412 yr We don't have any chart info today, well I certainly haven't, that little dickie bird didn't arrive today. :P Looking on the bright side of things I've noticed 5 Seconds of Sheer Stupidity are slipping, Duke Dumont should easily recover later in the week.
March 25, 201412 yr So she's not even that far ahead of #2? It'd be pretty funny if it even misses out by Sunday... I'm surprised it's even doing as well as this tbh. If it manages to scrape to 50k, it will beat a few of the previous winners (Joe McElderry and Leon whateverhisname I think sold less than that...Steve Brookstein sold just about exactly 50k I think). Edited March 25, 201412 yr by Danny
March 25, 201412 yr 5 Seconds of Summer: #1 - 65.4k Faul & Wad Ad vs. Pnau: #2 - 21.3k Duke Dumont: #3 - 18.5k
March 25, 201412 yr About time to forget any chance of Duke Dumont remaining #1. 5SOS are nearly 50k ahead. Oops. Let's just hope for their sake that they don't end up with a 1-9 drop on their hands or something.
