Taylor's star-studded video to have the desired effect?

Despite being 13k behind on sales, OMI's 'Cheerleader' managed to remain at #1 for a third week thanks to a bonus 31k worth of streams, meaning LunchMoney Lewis had to debut at #2 with 'Bills'. Ella Eyre should manage to take advantage of a quite release schedule and earn her first solo Top 10 with 'Together', whilst other new entries to the Top 40 should include Sheppard's 'Geronimo', Ne-Yo's 'She Knows' and Wilkinson's 'Hopelessly Coping'. Also, following the release of its star-studded video, Taylor Swift's 'Bad Blood' should end up with a high debut this week. Other new entries may include soundtrack songs from Sia and Jessie J, plus YouTuber Andie Case with her mashup cover of 'Want To Want Me/I Want You To Want Me'.

 

Aiming to hit the #1 spot are both Brandon Flowers (lead of The Killers) and Paul Weller (former lead of The Jam) with their new albums The Desired Effect and Saturns Pattern. Entering the Top 20 may be Faith No More's Sol Invictus, Hot Chip's Why Make Sense?, Mariah Carey's #1 to Infinity and twenty one pilots' Blurryface, whilst other new entries should come from last year's Eurovision winner Conchita Wurst, Shamir and Whitesnake. Radio 1's Big Weekend should give some acts a last minute boost so expect big changes from the Friday mids.

Brandon should easily take the albums but you can't underestimate aul Weller usually sells a lot of CDs! What did his last album start with?

Weller managed 14,953 on the Tuesday mids and finished with 30,269. I can't see his album quite managing that again but I'd say 20k+ was at least for sure.

Weller's last album got to number one on sales of 30k in 2012

 

Brandon managed 65k first week sales in 2010

 

So fingers crossed for Brandon :)

OMI will be top of the chart for the final time (ever possibly? #onehitwonder) this week.

Taylor Swift to be a suprise #1 this week please - Slaying all the competition and snatching weave from Jessie J, Ella Eyre, Carley Rae and Iggy on her way to the top

Could be close enough - 20k for Weller isnt at all bad and Brandon should do 30k!

I think Brandon will do more than 30k. I've read nothing but positives about this album, a huge improvement on his last album.

Taylor Swift doesn't stand a chance at #1. I think she'll be top 20 (but maybe #1 in the US in the next couple of weeks but they include Youtube streaming there). Omi will be #1. It's a great song but I'm surprised it's so successful in the charts.

I was really expecting LunchMoney Lewis to grab a week but I can't see that happening now, looks like Omi will take it. Taylor is probably looking like top 15 by the end of the week, once all the sales are in at the end of the week. Hoping Ella gets a top 10 hit, just got that niggling feeling she might end up at #11. Hopefully she be at least top 4 in the mids today, fingers cross, that should keep her in the top 10.

 

And don't forget Mint Royale (Twitter) is your best friend :D after 11am, as I have errands to do this morning.

Bit dull on the singles chart this week. Pretty much the same top 10 except Ella Eyre going in at 4 but not big sales at all.

Exciting album chart battle between Brandon Flowers and Paul Weller though.

Edited May 19, 201511 yr by Joe.

Taylor is in at a strong #27

Hot Chip at 5 - good album that. Conchita Wurst at 77.

Curious to how well Faith No More do with their new album

Mariah Carey is #10 in the albums

:yahoo: at Conchita getting that Top 100 album smash! I know sales are low but I wasn't expecting her to be anywhere in the Top 100 on the first update.
