I think Olly Murs could take the #5 spot from Blonde - due to streaming advantage

 

I was thinking that too :(

 

Union J please let people stream you! You will regret it!

Glad to see Take That holding up well in the singles chart, but a bit disappointed in their album sales. Hopefully it'll hold up well in the coming weeks and manage to go 2x platinum at least.

Glad Take That aren't looking to fall too quickly, it seemed like such an unexpected and low selling No.1 that I was worried that it would dive 1-7 or something. The album really needs to get a move on though. Not that 100k+ is bad of course, just so low for them.

Ed Sheeran's consistent album sales are so beautiful :cry:

 

I wonder if 'x' will outsell its predecessor :o. It certainly has a lot of further sales potential with regard to future singles (looking at you in particular 'Afire Love' and 'Runaway', don't let me down fellas).

I think it will be the Xmas No.1 album which would be great.

It will probably be a repeat of Adele's 21

Nicki Minaj's album The Pinkprint is out on the 15th so she will give him a run for his money

Ed Sheeran's album has shifted 15k yesterday :o Its looking to overtake AC/DC their sales just under 10k yesterday. TT is practically selling 10k per day.

Take That look like selling a similar amount to 1D's first week sales this year.

Actually the top 10 albums is filling up with boy bands, Take That, One Direction, McBusted and The Vamps, never expected that :lol:

I can't believe Take That have only sold 20k after their 85k opening day, especially off the back of a number 1 single and the like, it may fall short of Pink Floyd's opening week :o

Where are Steal My Girl and Night Changes please ?

Where are Steal My Girl and Night Changes please ?

 

Steal my girl #8

Night changes #21

 

Thanks ! Hope Night Changes'll be in the top 20.

'X' (the standard 12 track version) is currently being sold on Google Play for £3.99 compared to the album being £8.99 on both iTunes and Amazon mp3 store so that must be giving the album a good sales boost. Other albums in the top 10 currently being sold for £3.99 on Google Play are 'In The Lonely Hour' and 'Wanted On Voyage'.

Like the very 3 albums that could do without a boost lately :lol:

Good to see Google Play supporting the perpetual struggle of the 20-something white British male in the album chart.

I think it's likely that x will outsell + in time.
