Y&Y king of castle or Marlon to chase them piece by piece?

We're into the third month and Sound of 2015 winners Years & Years are set to get 2015's third number one with 'King'. Also new to the Top 10 should be Marlon Roudette's 'When the Beat Drops Out' whilst Alex Adair's 'Make Me Feel Better' should make the Top 20. Imagine Dragons could be looking at a possible re-entry with 'Demons' following the performance from a contestant on The Voice UK whilst Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds may score a fourth Top 40 hit if 'The Ballad of Mighty I' can climb in due to Noel's performance on Graham Norton Show. Furthermore, Madonna's 'Living for Love' may benefit from the release of its physical CD.

 

In the albums, Noel's band should take top spot with second album Chasing Yesterday - self-titled debut album also hit #1 back in 2011, taking Noel's overall total of #1s (including Oasis) to 10. Hoping to make the Top 10 is Kelly Clarkson's Piece By Piece, The Overtones' Sweet Soul Music and The Shires' Brave, with further entries coming from Steven Wilson, Jon Hopkins, RuPaul, Purity Ring, Ghostpoet and Welcome to Night Vale.

I can't believe we are into March and King is going to be the second #1 of 2015, as Mark Ronson dates back to last year.

Well 2015 need to make it up and increase on more one-week number ones. They'll have no chance of beating 2014's record of 37 number ones

First of all, the record's for 2000, with 42 number ones. Secondly, this year we can break the record for fewest number ones (held by 1992 with 12)

Secondly, this year we can break the record for fewest number ones (held by 1992 with 12)

Also, that year and 1971 are the only years to go without a one-week #1

Fingers crossed Marlon Roudette can go top 5/top 10. Brilliant single that.

Wanting Marlon and Adair to do well here, as well as King to sell +100k this week :cheer:

Also wouldn't mind a top 40 re-entry for Demons :D

Absolutely :)

Years and Years are number 1 by miles this week. Impressive.

 

 

Mint Royale @MintRoyale · 29m 29 minutes ago

But Noel Gallagher’s album is more impressive, big old sales of 48,635 so far.

 

That is impressive for Noel, he has a large fanbase still. Liam's band did next to nothing in comparison.

Yeah Beady Eye's albums both missed number one, although both went top three, unlike the (soon to be) two no.1's for Noel! Fantastic sales for him, great to see the demand is still there; I will add to that total myself sometime this week. :D

Edited March 3, 201510 yr by Jade

Brilliant sales for Noel, I did actually believe he could come close to 100k!

Excellent sales for Noel Gallagher. Hopefully he can push over 100k this week. :) Looking forward to seeing Years and Years sales if they're miles ahead.

Mint Royale @MintRoyale · 30m 30 minutes ago

Years and Years are number 1 by miles this week. Impressive.

So by 'miles' they could be on for 140k odd? :thinking:

G'won Years & Years :heart: :cheer:

When HMV more or less have a wall dedicated to Noel, there was no way he could miss #1

Great news about Noel! I hope Ballad of the Mighty I can go top 40 this week, I love that song.

 

Does anyone know what his first week sales of the last album were? I have a feeling it was about 120 K - he was up against Matt Cardle I remember. I don't know what it sold overall but it seemed to have a good run.
