Kiesza to miss the top 40 albums please :o

 

:arrr:

I got the impression that he isn't when he was asking the stupid question of "who's still buying this?".

 

It's always the first song he plays every year but yeh he was being sarcastic in a chart sense as it always reappears lol

Where is Cheek to Cheek? :cheer:

 

Saw this coming :P

 

Fingers crossed for sales today. I hope Ed loses sales further down the line with that earlier in the week performance and will fall quickly to its (sort of) rightful place. Doubt much it will fall #3 or lower though :( :lol:

 

What made Chandelier swing back into the top 20? :huh:

 

Mariah heading for top 10 at this rate too :cheer: Ghost, Dangerous and Wretch also doing good, and so is Outside and Jealous!

Hozier #5 on Spotify, no lower than the 50s on itunes last night and yet he's only #35 officially today. Surely it would work out top 20 at least.

 

6k sales from downloads and 8-10k on streams for No5 which would make 15k give or take which would equate to a No30-35 usually

NOTE -- Please read carefully. I'm not saying that The OCC have 'forgotten' any Take That Albums. I'm saying that

they have made a decision to only count their Studio Albums. It is very misleading to count only their No.1 Studio Albums.

 

As far as I'm concerned, (& many other people), Take That will have their 7th No.1 Album on Sunday, & their 29th Week at

No.1 in the Album Chart. Added to their 29 No.1 Singles Weeks = 58 Weeks at No.1 in the UK. The 7th most for any Act.

Just behind Madonna, who is in 6th place - 29 Singles Weeks + 30 Albums Weeks = 59 No.1 Weeks.

 

The OCC are saying that '!!!' is Take That's 6th UK No.1 Album & their 6th No.1 in a row.

 

"Take That could score their sixth UK Number 1 album this Sunday.

 

The trio’s new collection III is currently in pole position on today’s Official Chart Update with impressive sales of 96,000

at the mid-week stage. If it remains at the top until Sunday, it will mark the band’s sixth consecutive chart-topping LP".

 

1)... It is their 7th No.1 Album. For some reason The OCC are not counting 'Greatest Hits', (1996), as a No.1 Album for the Group.

 

2)... Nor are they counting 'Never Forget - The Ultimate Collection', which was a 2005 No.2 Album.

 

3)... Nor are they counting 'The Greatest Day - The Circus Live' which was a 2009 No.3 Album.

 

4)... They are just counting Take That's Studio Albums.

 

5)... Once you start doing that you open a can of worms. It means that 'One' cannot be counted as

The Beatles 15th UK No.1 Album. Nor can they have the 9 No.1 Weeks from it - leaving them with

165 No.1 Weeks & not 174.

 

6)... Queen cannot have 'Greatest Hits' & 'Greatest Hits II' counted towards their No.1 Albums. So

they get 7 No.1 Albums & 12 No.1 Weeks, rather than 9 No.1 Albums & 21 No.1 Weeks.

 

7)... ABBA cannot have 9 No.1 Albums & 57 No.1 Weeks. They only have 5 No.1 Albums. 'Greatest Hits',

'Greatest Hits Vol. 2', 'The Singles', & 'Gold' cannot be counted. Nor can the 24 No.1 Weeks from those 4

'Hits' Albums. So ABBA get left with 33 No.1 Weeks.

 

8)... This is what happens when people make up new 'Rules' as to what is & is not a No.1 Album

for an Act. It is far better to keep it simple. A No.1 Album for an Act is any of their Albums that

go to No.1, be they Studio Albums, Hits Albums, or Live Albums.

I presume the OCC haven't forgotten about any of them, they just forgot to mention it applies to studio albums alone I assume :P

Take That will sell about 150k this week or maybe slightly less. It will be interesting to see if they can keep the momentum going in the next couple of weeks.

It is perfectly reasonable to point to Take That's run of successive number one studio albums but they should specify that that is what they mean. It seems logical to keep separate lists of studio albums only and all albums. A third list which excludes live albums (as they very rarely get to number one) would also make a certain amount of sense.

We have top 5 sales :cheer: give me a mo, while I implement

Had a feeling that TT's sales would be smaller than that have been for their last 3 albums. Shame, but I guess the market has gone downhill quite bit since 2010.

4 Blonde feat. Melissa Steel - I Loved You (18.7k) *

And for Kath regarding Cheek To Cheek, hop on the #72 bus, wherever that takes you

I may as well ask where MAGIC! is, if you're not going to be RUDE and sarcastic about it <_<

Ed's album did outsell Take That's yesterday... The embarrassment is real.

My predictions for singles chart on sunday are as follows;

 

1. Ed Sheeran - Thinking out loud

2. Union J - You got it all

3. Take That - These days

4. Taylor Swift - Blank space

5. Blonde - I loved you

Yes it did better yesterday but not by a great amount (less than 1k). Take That will still be no1 regardless but Sheeran has kept up the momentum for quite some time and likely to sell strong well into the New Year. It will be interesting to see if Take That can do the same. My feeling is they are unlikely to keep the same momentum as compared to their previous albums but should still make double platinum.

Do TT have any high profile promo over the rest of the month? My belief is that should make the most of Christmas sales whilst they can because I think it will begin to drop quickly once the new year comes. Past albums show that they are unlikely to score any other large hits from the album.

1. Ed Sheeran - Thinking out loud

2. Union J - You got it all

3. Take That - These days

4. Taylor Swift - Blank space

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