That's true and I wouldn't rule it out. My point was more that as of right now, there's not a lot to suggest it'll be very close with Brandon quite comfortably outselling Paul rather than them 'selling as much as each other practically'.

 

I really hope Brandon will take it. Chances are in his favour as he starts his tour tomorrow - and I'm going on Friday. Hopefully this will buoyant his sales over the weekend

I noticed Sucker is back at #99 (I know that's nothing to really write home about). Is that just because of 'Famous' having an effect or has it had some dramatic pride reduction somewhere?

3.99 on iTunes! Froot slaying at #160 through the same deal.

If I was as hyped a pop star as Charli XCX and my album getting to 99 was considered impressive, I think I'd have a "massive pride reduction".

 

Am I the only one who finds Brandon Flowers a bit smug and is sort of hoping he doesn't get a Number One just for that reason?

Bless her, they really can't give this album away can they? :(

 

I expect copies of it to be given away in cereal packets this summer.

Even I wasn't tempted to part with 99p for the album when it was one of Google Play's daily deals after giving it a listen on streaming!

What makes you think Brandon Flowers is "smug"? :lol: I think it's known in the industry that he's one of the nicest, down to Earth and humble guys in the business! :lol:

to be specific, in packets of Froot Loops :basil:

Hello Mint Royale again:

 

Taylor Swift is up to 5 - might get to number 1

I wish I could remember a time when the expressions 'slay' and 'your faves could never' hadn't entered common parlance... <_<

 

Still nice to see Ella Eyre's still top 10.

I believe it's 'your faves could neva'...

Probably get to #3 on Sunday now for Taylor/Kendrick.

 

 

If we get sales today can someone do the maths and see if Taylor is selling enough to atleast have a chance at #1 officially?

Yesterday she was selling at the rate of #2 with streaming combined. But it'll be hard to say even if/when we get today's mids, because streaming patterns are so different of the weekend. I'll of course work this out anyway.

I believe it's 'your faves could neva'...

 

Exactly :D

Kendrick slaying, your faves could neva.

She was ~4K behind the #5 yesterday, I don't think she is doing quite enough to catch Omi (who had a lead of 17.8K) - even in a quiet sales week but she could easily be #2.

If we get sales today can someone do the maths and see if Taylor is selling enough to atleast have a chance at #1 officially?

If all songs continue selling at the rate they did yesterday, this is what the Top 5 will look like:

 

1 OMI 66.7k

2 Wiz 50.5k

3 Taylor 50.4k

4 Lunch 50.3k

5 Galantis 40.9k

 

So Taylor is pretty much guaranteed #4 at least. She sold 9.7k yesterday whilst OMI sold 9.3k.
