Lukas Graham look to be cruising towards a third week at #1 with their breakthrough smash hit 7 Years. Hoping to enter the top 40 this week include 'I Took a Pill in Ibiza' by Mike Posner, 'Faded' by Alan Walker, and maybe some songs boosted by the BRIT Awards taking place on Wednesday, which includes performances from the likes of Adele, Justin Bieber, Coldplay and James Bay. Additionally, new peaks are possible for Zara Larsson's 'Lush Life', twenty one pilots' 'Stressed Out' and G-Eazy's 'Me, Myself & I'.

 

The BRIT Awards will no doubt have a huge impact on the album chart even with only one full day of sales counting after they're aired. Adele will be looking to hold her #1 crown again, and expect Coldplay, Jess Glynne, James Bay, Justin Bieber and Little Mix among others to get decent boosts. Speaking of the BRITs, Jack Garratt won the Critics' Choice award this year, and is hoping his debut album 'Phase' will follow in the footsteps of almost every previous winner so far and have his album enter at #1.... or will he suffer the fate of Jessie J and peak at #2 behind Adele?

Jack Garratt with early lead in Album chart but Adele to reel him in by end of week.

Mint Royale tweeted Jack Garratt is #1 + I Took a Pill is top 40

 

not very funny tweets as per usual

 

Mint Royale ‏@MintRoyale 3h3 hours ago

Jack "the hat but not a hat like James "the hat" Bay wears" Garratt looks like he might get the number 1 album next week from Adele.

 

I'm not going to even give Mike Posner's "I took a pill in Ibiza" single a polite listen, but it's going to chart.

 

 

 

Edited February 20, 20169 yr by Bjork

by the way, Mint Royale posted that I Took a Pill is top 40

he also posted Jack Garratt is #1 in albums beating Adele

YES!!! Let's hope it stays that way by Friday

That's awesome for Jack! I hope he stays Top 5 but I reckon he'll be kicked out by the BRITs effect

BRIT effect will only have a day and a half this time as opposed to it usually having three and a half days to do so

I'm hoping ...Ibiza can make it top 40 this week :D

If it's #12 on iTunes and #19 on Spotify, it will definitely go top 40, could even go top 20

Does anyone know whether any of the Brits live performances are being released to download this year?

Of course they're less likely to impact the Top 40 than before even if they are, I was just wondering.

I read somewhere (here) that they're being made available on Google Play like they were last year.

 

 

Oh wow at Jack Garratt! Thought he was going to be on course for like #9. Would be quite cool if he could hang onto the top spot, he deserves much better than the complete non-impact he's had on the singles chart.

Not to say I told you so, primarily because in the end I didn't actually tell anyone, but I really did expect Jack to be doing as well as he is right now. I was baffled by Bray/Seven expecting so little of him given, well... even Michael Kiwanuka did enough for a top 5 album. If you're vaguely credible and release in the months immediately after the Sound of then you're going to get a good first week even if that's all you do get.

I'm thinking of getting Jack's album in the week. Didn't really know much about him until I saw him on Sunday Brunch this morning. His songs sound pretty good.

Listened to the Jack Garratt album.... Utter rubbish!

Well it didn't work for James Blake and Jack Garratt is quite similar to him and has done even worse in the singles chart. Then again James Blake didn't win the Sound of.../BRITs I guess.

I think recent years have shown us that the difference between winning the Sound of and even coming second can be pretty extreme. Same for critics choice winner vs nominee.

The album is very good, I really hope he gets the #1 spot, although it's gonna be difficult after Adele wins all her Brits

Really strong album. Early contender for album of the year.

He's managed to do quite well on hype in the first couple of days - I always assumed he would do considering his team have worked so well on building such hype, but I can't see him even holding up that well at the end of the week, let alone next week.
