Bay rises higher in the chaos (albums) and the calm (singles)

Follow-up to her debut solo single 'Right Here' and collaborative single 'Real Love' with Clean Bandit, Jess Glynne's 'Hold My Hand' looks set to do what the aforementioned failed: hit the number one spot. Joining her in the Top 5 should be Sigma's 'Higher', featuring Labrinth, whilst further down the charts, Ed Sheeran's 'Bloodstream' and Kygo's 'Firestone' should continue their climb upwards and KSI & P Money's 'Lamborghini' should debut.

 

2015 hasn't had an album sell 100k+ in a week however that may be set to change as James Bay releases his debut album, Chaos and the Calm. Also entering the Top 10 should be Laura Marling's Short Movie, Seasick Steve's Sonic Soul Surfer and The Staves' If I Was. Elsewhere in the Top 40, there should be debuts from Jermain Jackman, Courtney Barnett, Joe Bonamassa, Toto, Buena Vista Social Club, The Cribs, While She Sleeps and Earl Sweatshirt, whose release is available on download only.

 

Outside the Top 40 should be Buzzjack faves Cheryl (singles) and Kylie (albums). Shame. :(

Kylie will chart on the DVD chart rather than the album chart

Jess Glynne #1 :cheer:

 

Mint Royale @MintRoyale · 4m 4 minutes ago

Jess Glynne miles ahead for number 1. Excellent work.

int Royale @MintRoyale · 4m 4 minutes ago

James Bay predictably at number 1 with actually quite a lot of sales. Who are these people?

Mint Royale @MintRoyale · 4m 4 minutes ago

All sorts of album stuff going on but low sales, so Marling at 3, Cribs at 4, Seasick Steve 5, Staves 7.

Jess Glynne #1 :cheer:

 

Shocked? :|

I wanna see how much James has sold day 1... such a great album.

It's funny how awful the reviews for James Bay's album have been! I'm so shocked considering he won the CRITICS choice award. They haven't put anyone off, it seems.

Mint Royale @MintRoyale · 23s 24 seconds ago

Chic at 37. Wonder if that will be it’s peak though.

Mint Royale @MintRoyale · 1m 1 minute ago

Cheryl Cole has a single out this week. Number 56. Presumably the final effort at maintaining her title of ‘singer’.

Mint Royale @MintRoyale · 3m 3 minutes ago

To answer someone’s question, Marina is down to 33 I’m afraid.

- EEK. Ironically the great reviews this is getting is not helping at all.

I haven't read any reviews of the album; listened on spotiy to it though and thought it was a good debut tbh.

 

 

Mint Royale @MintRoyale · 2m 2 minutes ago

It shows how limp the release schedules are at the moment that a Kylie Live album can be in the top 10.

Mint Royale @MintRoyale · 16m 16 minutes ago

And finally, the winer of The Voice last year, Jermain Jackman, in at 186 on the singles chart, but 44 on the album chart.

 

I haven't read any reviews of the album; listened on spotiy to it though and thought it was a good debut tbh.

 

 

I havn't listened myself, so can't judge myself yet, I've just seen quite a few scathing reviews.

Great that Kylie is top 10. Someone here said it would 't be in the album chart. just the DVD chart.

Wonder where Madonna is

Edited March 24, 201511 yr by Mullo

Good news re. Kylie. Any news on rebel heart? I bet its dropped quite a bit.

Ooops clashed with Joe, both posted at the same time :drama:

 

Hopefully I get some chart info this afternoon to answer the above requests, as all the info has been retrieved from twitter for now.

Tragic but expected for Cheryl - Weekend sales and streaming should see it safely out of the Top 75.

 

And the curse of The Voice winners continues!

Kylie in the top ten! :o Quite a few new releases at the top end of the album chart this week.
