May 3, 201610 yr Really hoping Daddy Lessons can hold onto a top 40 placing! My favourite from Lemonade :wub:
May 3, 201610 yr from OCC FB page Drake on course for Official Singles and Albums Chart double There is no stopping Drake - he's charging towards an Official Singles and Albums Chart double. In recent weeks, Drizzy has broken streaming records and snapped up his first Number 1 single as a lead artist with One Dance, and now it looks like he will top both the Official Singles and Albums Charts. One Dance featuring Wizkid and Kyla is leading the singles tally at the midweek stage, with 64,000 combined chart sales so far. Drake's fourth studio collection Views is also leading on the albums front, and is currently outselling Beyoncé's Lemonade by two copies to one. If Drake can hold onto pole positions on both charts, he'll be the first to bag a chart double since Sam Smith in March 2015 with Lay Me Down and In The Lonely Hour. A major new entry from Calvin Harris and Rihanna sits at Number 2 - This Is What You Came For will be Rihanna's 28th Top 10 single and Calvin's 20th. Beyoncé's Lemonade continues to quench the UK's thirst too - Yoncé has 7 tracks in the Top 40, one more than last week's chart. Daddy Lessons is the new inclusion, with her other six songs all heading for new peaks within the Top 40. Queen Bey's tracks within the top flight are Hold Up (5), Formation (16), Sorry (19), 6 Inch (25), Don't Hurt Yourself (26), Daddy Lessons (31) and Freedom (32). Meanwhile DJ Snake, Little Mix and Disturbed all continue their ascents up the Official Singles Chart with Middle, Hair and Sound of Silence. They climb to 11, 12 and 17 respectively. Over on the Official Albums Chart, with the exception of Drake, three other newbies are on course to enter the Top 10. Billy Ocean's Here You Are - The Best Of is at 4, Travis' Everything At Once is at 5 and Tremonti's Dust is at 10. Another 100K for the king!
May 3, 201610 yr Oh wow at 'Sound of Silence' being top 20 :o it'll probably drop about 10 places by Friday, I'd love to see it be played in the play zone tho :wub: Edited May 3, 201610 yr by Rob S
May 3, 201610 yr That sounds that there's very little streaming added. How Sorry can be #19 when it's #27 on iTunes currently?
May 3, 201610 yr That sounds that there's very little streaming added. How Sorry can be #19 when it's #27 on iTunes currently? I don't think that's true, Drake's numbers are including streams for sure.
May 3, 201610 yr I was really thinking Skepta would get a no. 1 album when he released, but releasing the week after Drake may not have been the smartest move. Had he released during those extremely low sales weeks prior to "Lemonade" he would have easily got to no. 1. Still, top 2 is guaranteed, which is great for grime. Great sales for Drake this week!

Not sure top 2 is guaranteed, both Drake and Beyoncé are releasing CD versions on the 6th, suspect the best that Skepta can hope for is number 3.
May 3, 201610 yr Drake on course for #1 single when Calvin is at #1 on iTunes and #2 on Spotify. Calvin will definitely be a sales #1
May 3, 201610 yr Hair at 12 - fantastic! I would be seriously impressed if Hair can hold this position on Fridays chart.
May 3, 201610 yr Beyonce is so high on singles cos she has Tidal streams Edited May 3, 201610 yr by Bjork
May 3, 201610 yr Beyonce is so high on singles cos she has Tidal streams She'd be even higher if her music was on Spotify. Only reason Drake is heading for #1 because he still has the single version of his song on iTunes. If they removed it when the album was released, Calvin would be heading to #1 at this moment
May 3, 201610 yr ^ no other information is available. As per every week, an update would be posted if we had one. She'd be even higher if her music was on Spotify. Only reason Drake is heading for #1 because he still has the single version of his song on iTunes. If they removed it when the album was released, Calvin would be heading to #1 at this moment No he wouldn't. The sales of the single version for Drake would just go to the album version instead. It's not like people refuse to buy something if it's not from a standalone single :lol:...
May 3, 201610 yr Good to see Drake on course for a #1 album still, I was beginning to worry Beyoncé's second week sales would still be high enough to stop him.
