Sad to hear Olly's album is down to #7! :o

 

I mean, he will struggle to even come close to half his other albums have sold...

I was expecting TT to fall this much anyway. It didn't sell that much last week and was fairly lucky to get there anyway. #WaitOnMe #IWannaFeel
Thinking Out Loud sold 9k last week on Tues mids, 18k yesterday huge increase.
OCC seem determined to add Jennifer Lawrence to the Hanging Tree track. :drama: nice to see a few Xmas tracks entering the 40 now from the usual suspects.

But she does sing the song. So why is it classed as James Newton Howard? He just did the score didn't he?

I don't think it's quite over for him yet, I can see 'Up' (with Demi Lovato) being quite a decent sized hit.

Ella Yours up to #8 on iTunes....Any chance of it charting top 10?

The problem with What Can I Do? is that it's been released way too late! I first heard it over 4 months ago!

The main problem is it hasn't had any support from anywhere...

Same! Look what happened to Neon Lights! It looked like it entered at #15 on mostly pre's and then couldn't handle its sales for the next few weeks. Seems like this is going to happen with Flutes in a couple of weeks...

I should point out 'Wrapped Up' was streamed 1 million times last week alone and is still #2 on airplay charts. And this was his third #1 album last week. People writing Olly off are stupid.

 

It's just a bit of a busier market to the one 'Right Place Right Time' came out in, but to suggest he's over because of one midweek position is ridiculous.

 

He is on 'The One Show' tonight performing and chatting and 'This Morning' tomorrow doing likewise so that should be nice little boosters anyhow.

Take That seem to have sold all their copies on day one - only 10,000 more sold on Tuesday.

Had 'Neon Lights' been released conventionally I doubt it would have even charted or sold anything whatsoever, so they got it right with that release.

 

(as it was a post-album single)

So bad for Take That :( That hype drop showing in the album sales big time, makes the No.1 single seem even more bizarre.

Scott clearly not a Mariah Carey fan then!

Either that or he's tired of it keep re-entering so high each year :P

 

So hope Ella can worm her way into the top 10 Sunday.
