From Twitter, Ben 40k ahead at the end of Thursday, if he carries on selling CD's at the same rate Friday and Saturday he will have 50k CD's at least and being the weekend before Christmas I think he will sell more than that...

Yep, looks like he's got it in the bag.

Mint royale

He’s 40,000 copies ahead. He’s sold more everyday than Uptown Funk. Not always more downloads, but he’s also sold 24,215 cds.

We have a Friday update from MW :cheer: bear with me one moment

Ben has the number 1 now in the bag for certain. :dance:

NO SALES INFO

Jeez the Wealdstone Raider #5 :blink: :drama:

Shame we don't have any sales info!

George Ezra doing very well in the albums, i like him but would prefer to see Olly Murs and Take That ahead of him. 5 seconds of Summer are falling fast, i expected bigger performance for them with it been Christmas, that said live albums are not always the best of sellers.

 

Olly and Demi continuing a good run for a Christmas Top 5 hit. I remain shocked that Band Aid are not top 10 on Christmas week.

George to stay ahead of the typical Christmas stocking fillers such as Olly and Take That, please. Surpassing all expectations.

 

Where are Ed Sheeran's Don't and Sing, please? The latter might not be top fourty anymore, but the former definitely should and I'm surprised it's not listed as a climber.

Happy to see Gorgon City & Jennifer Hudson holding on to a top 10 placing! Fingers crossed they'll keep it!

Where are Ed Sheeran's Don't and Sing, please? The latter might not be top fourty anymore, but the former definitely should and I'm surprised it's not listed as a climber.

Don't #32

Sing #36

 

Hopefully we get some sales later but I can't promise to add with the updates.

I just like to make note this is the last mid update for the year, as Christmas and New Year's Day is mid week, my guess normal services will begin the week of 5 Jan 2015, hopefully we get sales information Sunday night from MW from 8pm onwards.

 

Might get the odd update from OCC for next week but I wouldn't bank on it.

 

One more thing I want to say is thanks to everyone taking part in the mid conversation during the year, join me again in 2015 and hopefully Idina Menzel and John Legend are out of the chart pretty soon.

 

I and the chart team wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a happy new year.

 

Michael Bubre and Liam97 will be supplying the mince pies and punch to lavish on. Enjoy....

Thanks Martin as always.

 

I suspect that we may very well get updates on Tuesday and Wednesday next week, but then nothing else until the new year, I'd agree.
