Why? The song already looks like it's heading to No 1 so what benefit would be gained? :D

Good to see Kylie Christmas still top 40 at 29. Fingers crossed it stays top 40 for 3rd week in a row. Kylie promo starts next Friday with TFI Friday, then Royal Variety on Tuesday 8th then her Concert on 11th with maybe strictly that week? G Norton confirmed for 18th too..... Fingers crossed she can have a 6 week run in the top 40 and sell near to 50k
I'm drying at Bieber having a third #1 single in less than what? 4 months? Insane.

Oh my god! The Take That album dropped like a stone: from #6 to #62 :lol:

 

Also shame to see Enya already exiting the top 10 (#12) :(

 

But yay for Kylie, climbing a little bit (from #31 to #29) :D

 

The Vamps' sales mustn't be very good... even Litte Mix are higher. They might end up outside the top 10 by Friday.

I think Kylie will do really well over Christmas, actually. The fact she has some good promo slots gives me confidence that she'll at least match Leona Lewis' festive album and go gold.

 

Great to see Little Mix back up to the top 5. It really goes to show how important it is to choose the right song as an album lead-in. Also, I feel smug as I'm the only person who had Little Mix in the top 5 albums in the chart Preddix game :P

oh so the rare feat of self-replacement at #1 is on for bieber :o~ i take it elvis (posthumously) was the last act to knock themselves off the top spot :drama:

 

YASSS for 99 souls heading into the top40 this week :yahoo: looking good for sigma as well ^_^

25's record-breaking rise to 1 million UK album sales

 

by Alan Jones

 

Six weeks ago, only a select few knew that Adele had completed her third album 25, but after a 20 second 'teaser' - featuring introductory single Hello, without mentioning the artist's identity - was screened during an ad break on The X Factor on 18 October, speculation eventually gave way to confirmation that the album would be released on 20 November.

 

10 days on from its release, 25 shattered the record for the fastest million-seller in UK history, scorching to a seven figure sale some time on Sunday (29 November) to beat the previous record set by Oasis' album, Be Here Now, which took 17 days (not 11, as previously reported) to pass the milestone in 1997. 25's provisional sales of 225,182 copies in the current week - from midnight on Thursday to midnight on Sunday - raised estimates of its to-date sales to 1,025,489.

 

The only other albums to pass a million sales within a month of release are The Circus by Take That (19 days, 2008), Beautiful World also by Take That (27 days, 2006), Robson & Jerome’s self-titled debut (28 days, 1995), The Beatles’ 1 (also 28 days, 2000), and Leona Lewis’ Spirit (29 days, 2007).

 

25 is the 223rd album to sell a million copies in the 21st century, and the 35th to sell a million copies in the 2010s. Introductory single, Hello, is also on the fast track to becoming Adele's fourth million selling single, with sales to close of midnight on Friday at 813,711, with provisional sales in the three days since estimated at 36,483.

 

With Christmas approaching and weekly sales increasing exponentially, Adele is the record industry's Secret Santa delivering sales relief in a tough trading year in which paid-for sales will decline for the 11th time in a row. Despite this, 25 stands a better than even chance of reaching the 2m. sales plateau faster than any previous album - current record holders, Robson & Jerome's eponymous debut topped the 2m sales mark on its 48th day on release, early in 1996. 25 has today (30 November), the whole of December and a little of January to reach the mark.

 

25's daily sales thus far:

20 November (including pre-release purchases): 315,795

21 November: 145,571

22 November: 82,127

23 November: 71,815

24 November: 66,939

25 November: 56,747

26 November: 61,313

27 November: 62,814

28 November: 103,997

29 November: 58,371

 

Please note: previously released provisional data for 20-26 November was revised by OCC as shown above, while data for 27-29 November still has provisional data, and may be revised in the final chart on Friday (4 December).

25 is the 223rd album to sell a million copies in the 21st century, and the 35th to sell a million copies in the 2010s. Introductory single, Hello, is also on the fast track to becoming Adele's fourth million selling single, with sales to close of midnight on Friday at 813,711, with provisional sales in the three days since estimated at 36,483.

 

It's worth noting that it is the 27th album to sell a million on sales within the 2010-15 period, the remainder are presumably albums that sold their millionth copy sometime after 2009

#5 on this update isn't great for The Vamps isn't it?

 

Bieber absolutely dominating <3 Coming to kncok himself off #1, just going from strength to strength atm and I couldn't be happier for him :D
