Good luck for UJ, Taylor and Blonde. Ed can **** off, he's had enough praise for such a week song :drama:

Thinking Out Loud's got to get out soon. :arrowdown: :arrowdown: :arrowdown:

I don't think Take That will sell 200k this week which is slightly disappointing compared to their last couple of album's first week sales but as people have said, album sales have dramatically declined in last few years. I just hope they beat 1D's sales though and manage to keep the momentum going over December.

No.

Yeah I know they won't plummet by that degree really but most likely out of the top 10 at the very least. But I agree I still think Ed will win it fairly comfortably with a guaranteed 15k advantage.

Does this mean Ed will beat them this week or next week?

This week, though it'll be quite close (a few thousand copies in it).

 

Regarding the next week UJ slip (whether initial #1 or not) I reckon it will slip to #5 or #6, but my prediction is depending on the sales. 5SOS had a lot of pre's and not so much week sales so that was expectant, and I think the old Rix didn't sell so many copies initially, so really the sales and lack of streams will determine this :thinking:

 

It will be posted as soon as someone has the information and the time to post it, as always. Please be patient.

 

I was just wondering. I knew it's not guaranteed (well, nothing is really :kink:) but I wasn't sure, if there was a chart whether there's a usual time it gets posted :)

 

Digital spy have the top 5 singles as:

1. UJ

2. Ed

3. Take That

4. Queen Taylor :wub:

5. Blonde

 

That seems like an accurate top 5 the singles could have been.

 

No.

 

YES! Expecting This to GTFO soon after its several performances just like Shake It Off/Don't Tell 'Em/Bass. *fingers crossed smiley*

Well it won't, so tough.

 

Disappointed that we haven't got an update today especially since it's clear that several sources have information, but I suppose it makes tomorrow's update more worthwhile.

I presume Union J aren't coming to Morrisons in Harrow, as they're not selling the single.

 

All this talk of X makes today's Pearls Before Swine cartoon a bit topical:

I wonder why they've chosen Morrisons over HMV. Interesting strategy. I'd be fascinated to know how many CD singles a boyband can sell when they do signings.

 

I believe they are singing a cover of a Christmas song that is being used on a Morrisons advert.

Except not really because the album isn't called 'X' (it's usually spelled 'x' (in lower case) but pronounced 'multiply').

Mids are in! Coming soon.

I know bit late, Liam is on the case, better late than never

Band Aid is down to #9, McBusted's single is out of the Top 40, Olly Murs' album is down to #7.

 

No sign of this week's 99p Google Play album (Take That's Never Forget: The Ultimate Collection) so presumably on the budget chart.

Vamps having a bigger effect than I thought there but not complaining! :D Will edge it even closer to 200k for the year, hopefully platinum before long too.

 

Union J not looking very safe at #1, but that's what they get for no streams.

I was expecting a bigger gap for Union J, they'll definitely be #2 on Sunday I think (not that that's a bad result at all).

 

That's much higher first day sales than I expected for McBusted's album. :o I know it'll be extremely frontloaded but even clearing 40k+ this week is a good result for them all things considered.

Jenni top 10 :cheer:

please hang on!

1989? :D

Interesting to note we now have 3 songs in the Top 10 that are there purely on sales!*

 

*Unless Band Aid is still getting a few streams from God only knows where!

Yeah, no idea why Union J's single isn't streaming. This can only benefit Ed Sheeran
