Calvin could go #1 next week with a strong video effect. That would be an incredible chart run.

Very competitive in the Album chart next week but Beyoncé's Lemonade Album should get a nice boost from a Sky Atlantic Programme on Saturday night:

 

New & Exclusive. A striking visual accompaniment to one of the most talked about albums of 2016 so far: Beyoncé's commercial and critical smash Lemonade.

Let's save that for next week's thread then, it doesn't concern Friday's chart :P

So Rick is performing at Banquetrecords tonight for a live set & album signing @ 7pm in Kingston-on-Thames.

This is a Record shop with it's own label and club nights, specialising in indie, punk and dubstep :mellow: on vinyl and CD.

I am not a fan of Rick's but I am going to check out this Record Store when I get chance.

It's not that huge a store so I wouldn't expect a massive boost to come from it, nice place though, have gone to a couple of signings there (The Vamps + Saint Raymond), got a couple of Stooshe singles there for like 50p too :lol: (although their range of pop is very very limited)

I'd like to see Rick Astley at #1 personally and for him to hang around the top 10 for many weeks to come.

 

A top 20 peak for 'Three Lions' this week?

I too would be delighted to see Rick Astley at #1. I dont expect the album to stay around long but i would happily settle for 2nd week in the top 10.

The record signing could add 100-200 sales (No idea what these kind of events would generate for an act like Rick?) - Could be enough though to clinch the #1 seeing as sales are so close?

 

Bands like M.A.D and The Vamps always seem to have last minute signings there when they are after their lastest Top 20/30/40 smash!

200 sales could be enough. Many fans of the 80's music could show up at an event like this and purchase the cd.

It's quite nice to have an album and singles chart where we can't be sure of the #1 outcome on both.

I wouldn't expect 100-200 people at a last minute Kingston signing :kink: not even sure The Vamps had that many at their signing there which was pre-announced :lol:

Seems busy looking at the pictures on Twitter? Considering he probably hasn't done an album signing for 15+ years it might have been an event his fanbase were prepared to travel to?

I don't know, I can't say I follow Rick Astley's career so I could be wrong :P but it's not that big a store and it's on the edge of town, plus I have experience there, so that's what led me to believe it won't be THAT busy ~
