Sigala are looking at a #1 single this week with their debut track "Easy Love" sampling Michael Jackson's hit 'ABC' also Justin Bieber might still be in contention for a second week at #1 with stream sales in his favour. Other key single releases this week come from Kygo with 'Here For You' this time the vocals are supplied by Ella Henderson, already has a #1 single under her belt with 'Ghost' last year. R. City collaborating with Adam Levine lead singer of Maroon 5 on 'Locked Away', Foxes with 'Better Love' and Drake with 'Hotline Bling' aiming to chart inside the top 40. Also bear in mind with X Factor been transmitted over the weekend, we could see the odd old track re-appearing back in the top 40 singles chart.

 

After just 1 week at #1 The Weeknd is facing tough competition this week from rock group legends Iron Maiden with their brand new studio album 'The Book Of Souls'. Other key album releases this week come from Troye Sivan 'Wild' (EP), Five Finger Death Punch 'Got Your Six', Travis Scott 'Rodeo', Oh Wonder 'Oh Wonder', Etherwood 'Blue Leaves', The Wonder Years 'No Closer To Heaven', The View 'Ropewalk' and everyone's favourite Norwegian band who had catchy classic single hits 'Take On Me', 'The Sun Always Shines On TV' and they also sang the James Bond theme track to the The Living Daylights we welcome the return of a-Ha with their brand new studio album 'Cast In Steel'.

@MintRoyale

Foxes at 51, the mysterious journey of Rita continues up to 16, Sigala at 1 by a mile.

All those pre-orders must have counted for something then despite the low sales climate! ^_^ Gives me hope he can hold on.

Oh well... its early this week, if chart info is out and available on social media, there is no harm in posting the thread topic early. Funny enough I did all the prep commentary this morning ready to go.

Hoping 'a mile' can mean Sigala gets 2+ weeks at the top!

Good. Easy Love is way better than What Do You Mean?

Troye Sivan's EP is amazing, is it really eligible to chart on album chart?

Mint Royale reckons it can't be eligible for albums chart at such a low price

No chance, it'll get 1 but I think Bieber will easily climb back the week after.

Troye Sivan's EP is amazing, is it really eligible to chart on album chart?

Digital Single Bundle

Audio Download

Minimum £0.40

25 minutes and no more than four songs (audio or video) plus alternative audio versions of featured songs.

Rock legends Iron Maiden is the #1 album and Troye Sivan #2 according to Mint Royale.

Troye outselling The Weeknd? WOW

Troye Sivan's EP is amazing, is it really eligible to chart on album chart?

I'm sure if an EP has 6 or more tracks it's album chart eligible. His last EP didn't chart and that only had 5 tracks so that makes sense

According to the Official Charts, in order for a digital release to by classified as an album, it must

 

1) Have a dealer price (the price it's "sold" to the online store) of at least £3.75

2) Longer than 25 minutes and/or more than four songs

3) Not qualify as a maxi or remix single as defined by singles eligibility.

 

So based on this, would it qualify?

 

It's being sold for less than £3.94 so it's unlikely the dealer price would be that high. I don't know whether digital only EPs are eligible for the budget album chart?

 

Maybe it's time they did an EP chart!

Edited September 5, 201510 yr by AcerBen

I think that's mainly due to its substantial pre-orders (I'm pretty sure they were at least 5k+). It'll likely drop off over the week.

 

I wonder if Jess Glynne could challenge for the #1 spot in the album chart given her performance on Strictly seems to have given her quite the boost on iTunes? She should remain pretty stable sales-wise at least.
