Are Jeremih and Wizzard in the top 40 today?

'Don't Tell 'Em' is only just there at #40; Wizzard is just outside the Top 50.

Have to hand in to UJ and their Management team in the battle for the #1 - They have reduced the price of their single to 49p in all the Morrisons stocking the single - The sold all the copies at their signing today and have one in London tomorrow so I'm sure they will be trying to flog as many as possible. Interesting tactic!

I wonder will Take That bother releasing any post-album singles? With the way this album's sales are going I wouldn't be surprised if they try to sweep the era under a rug :unsure:

 

Doubt they are too concerned - #1 single, #1 album and 37 date sell out tour - Not quite the era to forget about considering a band like Take That should hold minimal relevance rather than being one of the UK's most successful acts!

 

I think they will have further single success from this album - 'Grt Ready For It' is being used as the closing credits for a film and 'Lovelife' will tie in nicely with a tour time release, Wouldnt be overly surprised to get a repackaged album like they done with Progress/Progressed and the 'Beautiful World' tour edition.

I think its way too early to just write this era off yet. They will still sell over 100k this week and album sales should be decent enough over the next few weeks but obviously no way as high as their recent albums but still pretty good.

Their management aren't that clever, by not putting it up for streaming they were never in the running for #1 even in by far the lowest sales week of 2014.

Not to mention they could easily drop the iTunes price to 59p...

As for Take That, they're never going to pull more than one hit single from an album again so I doubt they're overly bothered in that respect. The major album decline is a worry, but not unexpected. They did well to remain so enormous for as long as they did. Buble and Coldplay used to be of a similar stature and haven't exactly smashed records with their most recent studio albums either.

Although 'III' looks like falling short of the opening sales of 'Ghost Stories' now :ph34r: I actually think the fact that that's still the second fastest seller of the year is an extremely impressive statistic, sure it wasn't exactly a record smasher but it beat the first Pink Floyd album for 20 years and the new 1D album, both by a comfortable margin, despite those both being released in Q4.

Indeed still Britains biggest band after all this time!

 

The release of Magic followed by an Avicii produced 2nd single helped the album massively to its first week sale -Magic IMO is one of their strongest lead singles!

And for a band nearly 25 years into existence to have a number 1 single and album with first week sales over a 100,000 is enormously impressive.

 

The hype will return once Robbie and Jason return in for the 2016 album

Be more like 2017/18 I'd say!

I'm fairly certain Jason is not ever going to return.

Plus I doubt a second Robbie return would create much hype. The magic of it the first time around is that it was something that seemed completely unlikely to ever happen, and was preceded by the almost fairytale happy ending of Robbie and Gary rebuilding their friendship after all those years before the duet Shame and Robbie's eventual return to the fold.

I forgot about Shame - great track!

Friday Update Top 40 Only

 

Singles

 

1 Ed Sheeran - Thinking Out Loud (40.3k)

2 Union J - You Got It All (36.8k) *

3 Take That - These Days (30.6k)

4 Taylor Swift - Blank Space (29.6k)

5 Olly Murs feat. Travie McCoy - Wrapped Up (26.2k)

It looks like Union J are going to drop to #4 by tomorrow judging by the huge gap between them and Taylor Swift on iTunes.

She is 7.2K behind and gaining about 2K per day, I don't think she'll overtake them. I think UJ will stay #2 now (but drop massively next week).

Ed Sheeran for #1 next week performing Monday night on ITVs Royal Variety Performance and Thursday BBC1 Music Awards :cheer:

With Ed Sheeran's "Thinking Out Loud" going back to #1 in its 24th chart week, this will finally break Frankie Laine's 61 year record as being the longest into its chart career whilst still at #1. "I Believe" was number 1 for an 18th and final week in September 1953 in its 23rd chart career week. Celine Dion came close in 1995 when "Think Twice" spent a 7th and final week at the top in March '95 which was its 22nd charting week.

God, I hope not. Three weeks is TOO much for him
