I agree TT are hit and miss this time, their era of dominating the albums market is maybe over but they will sell well.

 

It all depends on the performers over the first 2 weeks of december in terms of TV on XF and TV specials etc!

 

Wonder if there will be a TV special...

Maybe the backlash in the press has something to do with it??

 

The backlash in the press doesn't cause Kworb to be wrong :kink:

No. I bought mine of Amazon

If Band Aid 30 was available on Amazon yesterday (please confirm), then there are probably missing sales.

Its on Amazon

I'm thinking the British public, are downloading the other versions instead of the new version :lol:

Apologies if this has been asked/answered but if an old version of Band Aid is purchased now, where does the money go? All Ebola or the others still to famine relief?

 

 

Sales look a little wrong for Band Aid 30, it is still selling around 675% of the #2 on iTunes (i.e. nearly 7x as much), however remember that streaming is included for all other singles with the exception of Taylor Swift so this will make a small (probably insignificant) difference between how the gap looks on Kworb and how much the midweeks actually suggest.

Martin: Taylor Swift is in the Top 10 now with "Blank Space" and needs to be listed as a climber... :P

That U2 Completer EP is a mystery to me, anyhow posted the whole update as Radio 1 are on the verge of revealing it, its hardly rocket science to know Band Aid 30 is #1.

So Band Aid has all sales included now?

 

Blank Space for top 10? With the stream weekend effect I don't think it will make top 10 :(

 

At least it made 9 on sales :P

Ouch at Band Aid! Do you know where Nicole is in album chart?

How can Prayer in C not be top 40 if it's #12 in Spotify and in the 40s on itunes?

Blank Space for top 10? With the stream weekend effect I don't think it will make top 10 :(

 

It will definitely make the Top 10- it sold more than both #9 and #8 yesterday and is only likely to be overtaken by Meghan Trainor. Streams or no streams, she will get there.

Ouch at Band Aid! Do you know where Nicole is in album chart?

 

on the #62 bus wherever that takes you

 

Outside your house?

Best update I can care to remember!

Not listening to the update - did radio 1 play all the new entries?
