Other new album releases this week from, X Ambassadors 'VHS', Savage Garden 'The Singles', Stevie McCrorie (who) ah last year's The Voice winner with his debut album 'Big World' and the Villagers 'Where Have You Been All My Life'.

Please make note of the new part added to post 1 guys - we're being careful of the information we give out from the non-OCC published updates. Obviously we don't want to stop getting them altogether!

Is Sia releasing the new album this week? Why is its cover in the opening post?

It says in the opening post, she released a new song :)

I'm really losing interest in the singles chart right now. There is little new music that interests me and sick of Bieber dominating the top 10. The chart is quite stale and streaming has increased the length of songs hanging around.

There are a couple of songs coming around in the next few weeks that will make some chart impact (top 10 I assume), How Love Begins and Lush Life.

I miss the days when January produced all sorts of random and obscure dance/rock hits that would take advantage of low sales and chart brilliantly high. Like 1992 when 'The Bouncer' went top ten or 2005 with Erasure and Dana Rayne!

From the outside looking in, it seems as if Love Yourself is having multiple weeks at #1 by default. Its undeniably popular, but taking advantage of the time of year and lack of new releases too.

 

Probably still end up one of best selling songs of 2016 though.

Punjabi MC in 2003 too. :lol:

I preferred Layo vs Bushwacka (theme tune to Celebrity Fait Club)

I think it's an interesting week just to see how those climbers do (Secret love song, Craig David, Tinashe) and also how Bowie sells in albums... but not even Mint Royale has tweeted anything so maybe not interesting after all :D

That Sia cover art is quite awful :lol:

Edit: all of them are awful actually :lol:

 

Sending my wishes to Little Mix and Snakehips this week for some top 10 Slayage :dance:

Looks like Snakehips could get top 10 if their sales improve, but I doubt Little Mix can this week :(

Two January surprises spring to mind: Iron Maiden getting to No 1 in 1990 with Bring Your Daughter to The Slaughter and Manic Street Preachers Masses Against The Classes in 1999

I remember Basshunter grabbing that #1 in January, that was a choon :dance:

 

If Shawn Mendes does get a week at #1 it be short lived, as Justin will take it again the following week until Tinie Tempah & High Contrast release. Zara Larsson could be another contender love to see it at #1, its quite a catchy pop dance track, somehow I can't see it happening though.

Why would Shawn's run be short lived? :P Not like it's a frontloaded fanbase release :heehee:

Dizzee Rascal and High Contrast actually :P (with DJ Fresh as the lead artist)

 

So hoping it can get #1, Fresh and Diz are two of my old favourites :yahoo:

 

No idea how long a run Shawn will have. But I expect it will only be #1 for a week should it knock Justin off.
