Posted March 29, 200620 yr Crazy downloads propel Barkley to top of chart Source: MW The recent change in singles chart rules concerning the inclusion of downloads continues to break new ground this week, with Gnarls Barkley’s Crazy (Warner Bros) looking on course to enter at number one, based on digital sales alone for the first time in chart history. Early retail reports suggest the single, which gets its physical release next Monday, will deny Morrissey his first number one after comfortably outselling his Attack/Sanctuary-released You Have Killed Me yesterday. Crazy, which has been at the top of the iTunes download chart for some time, would also have made the top three last week if digital sales had counted towards chart places that far in advance. Elsewhere in the singles chart, The Kooks are set to rise into the Top Ten with Naïve (Virgin), closely followed by a new entry from Depeche Mode’s Suffer Well (Mute), while releases from Michael Jackson (Epic), Milburn (Mercury) and The Streets (679) are also competing for a Top Ten placing. An unlikely Top 30 new entry comes from The Royal Ballet Sinfonia/Sutherland’s rendition of the Radio 4 UK Theme (Sweetspot), made commercially available after the station withdrew it from broadcasting schedules. In the albums market, X-Factor contestants Journey South and Andy Abraham are holding firm at the top despite stiff competition from Embrace (Independiente), Massive Attack (Virgin) and Yeah Yeah Yeahs (Fiction), who all look likely to enter within the Top Ten. The Kooks’ Inside In/Inside Out is capitalising on Naïve’s success by climbing to its highest position for nine weeks, with Be You Own PET (XL) and Atreyu (Victory) the sole other newcomers to the Top 75. ========================================================== Summary Singles 01 Gnarls Barkley - Crazy [DOWNLOADS ONLY] :o 02 Morrissey - You Have Killed Me [NEW] Top 5 Kooks - Naive [CLIMBER] Top 10 Depeche Mode - Suffer Well [NEW] Top 15 Michael Jackson - The Way You Make Me Feel [NEW] Milburn - Send In The Boys [NEW] :mellow: The Streets - When You Wasn't Famous [NEW] Editors - All Sparks[NEW] Top 30 Royal Ballet Sinfonia - Radio 4 UK Theme [NEW] :mellow: ======================= Albums 01 Journey South 02 Andy Abraham 03 Embrace Top 5 Massive Attack Top 10 Yeah Yeah Yeahs Top 20 The Kooks Top 75 Be Your Own Pet Atreyu Compiled by Buzzjack.com Info from Andy70 @ Haven

March 31, 200620 yr A Friday Update , yeppie!! :cheer: Morrisey has slipped a place from earlier in the week. Massive attack into 3 on the albums, so Andy Abraham must be at #4 I think. The X-Facotr boys must be dropping fast now Mothers day has gone.

March 31, 200620 yr Author i thought the yeah yeah yeahs were #7 ? thanks for spotting that out, yes its No.7, reason for my mistake, I copied the previous post, a copy and paste job, hence forgetting making the minor alteration for them.

March 31, 200620 yr I hope the Kooks song stays top 10 I really like it compared to most indie stuff and the Gnarls Barkley may be making chart history but its still utter crap.

March 31, 200620 yr Author Mikey, do you have any idea how Guillemots' 'We're Here' single is doing? :huh: I doubt if its in the top 40, lowest Physical single seems to be The Automatic, and I'm assuming that's around 35-40 mark
March 31, 200620 yr Mikey: do you know where is Andy Abraham in the singles? And can you pm me again the top ten with sales? thanks :dance:
March 31, 200620 yr I'd really hope that Mary J. Blige could top the charts next week, but I think it's doubtful, I mean come on Gnarl has topped the charts based on downloads alone, both are released on physical next week, so it's a dead cert that Gnarl will stay on top -_-
