June 20, 201610 yr I'm sure Red Hot Chili Peppers will regain the top spot by the end of the week but that's such a crazy prospect of Radiohead returning to #1 after dropping so low. Interesting that the Mumford & Sons EP is appearing after it was concluded on here that 5-track EPs are chart ineligible, apparently according to OCC rules. Perhaps it'll disappear by tomorrow (if we get an update that is)?
June 20, 201610 yr I am delighted to see Sigma and Take That climbing yet again this week, a top 40 return would be so welcomed. Based on the chart information we now have it looks likely Drake is going to be number 1 again this week which I don’t welcome. The album chart has really shocked me. I expected the Red Hot Chilli Peppers to be comfortably ahead for the number 1 album and that looks unlikely now. Radiohead are doing very well with this album when we consider it had previous download sales of 70,000 plus. This battle could heat up through the week. As Radiohead already reached number 1 I am all for The Red Hot Chilli Peppers going number 1 this week. Rick Astley has held up wonderfully well, I did not expect him to sell even 10,000 this week for the whole week and he has passed that already. His second week fall won’t be as dramatic as many would have predicted and is second week sales will also be very respectable.
June 20, 201610 yr Surprising to see Radiohead at the top of the Album Chart. However, as it has all been out for 6 weeks all ready as Download-only I suspect there will be quite some fans that have obtained the Download from a source that is not chart-eligible and have been waiting for the CD. I can see it being more front-loaded and accruing fewer streams this week than Red Hot Chili Peppers so wouldn't say it is a foregone conclusion yet even though the gap is 4.5k.

His second week fall won’t be as dramatic as many would have predicted and is second week sales will also be very respectable. I saw this coming. :teresa: It made me think of Paul Simon's greatest hits from last year where it debuted with 15k and only dropped 1k the following week. Certain acts just seem to be immune to the usual percentage drop that occurs in the second week.
June 20, 201610 yr I think I read that the Neales single won't be available in Tesco after Father's Day, so perhaps its current sales are more or less all it will get now this week.
June 20, 201610 yr 6 The Neales - I'll Be There [!!!!!!!!] OH MY god if this is top 10 this week I'll laugh so hard.
June 20, 201610 yr I'm gobsmacked at The Neales... top 10 :o :lol: Poor Kungs though could miss out on that #1 :drama:
June 20, 201610 yr Shocked Radiohead are at Number 1 on the albums! It could be a close one come the end of the week! Looks like Jake Bugg will finish up with sales simular to Tom Odell last week.
June 20, 201610 yr So pleased that Adele and Calum Scott are Top 20 also good to see Sigma/Take That creeping back in at #36 - The price reduction came at the right time! Fair play to The Neales - Their physical sales must be huge! They was on a Tesco tour and as the CD is only a £1 I guess it's easy for people to buy one almost without thinking about it.
June 20, 201610 yr A lot of these albums I'm guessing will drop throughtout the week, got the boost because of Father's Day.
June 20, 201610 yr Barely any streaming counted for there so all those new/re-entries will likely take a large tumble. Nailed on for Drake already there, the market is so open right now for a song to come out of nowhere & smash in at #1 even with hampered streaming!
June 20, 201610 yr 6 The Neales - I'll Be There [!!!!!!!!] OH MY god if this is top 10 this week I'll laugh so hard. It won't be. They'll probably sell next-to nothing for the rest of the week now that Fathers' Day has been and gone. They've still sold enough already to guarantee themselves a place in this week's top 40 though.

Major Lazer, I hope you're taking notes :coffee: Release your Justin Bieber collab already and kick Drake off #1!!
June 20, 201610 yr NOW 94 track list is due out in two weeks and could end up being #1-less if Drake carries on at the top
June 20, 201610 yr It won't be. They'll probably sell next-to nothing for the rest of the week now that Fathers' Day has been and gone. They've still sold enough already to guarantee themselves a place in this week's top 40 though. Guessing they are on around 17k this week and sold 22k last week - Apprently 150,000 copies went into Tesco stores so that's over 100k still available so they could pick up a few extra sales. Fair play to them though for managing to sell so many copies of a dead format!
June 20, 201610 yr Cmon Take That and Sigma! They must be getting hardly anything from streams? The song has been Top 15 on iTunes for 2 days but #36 officially :nocheer:

How do you know it's been nailed for Drake if he's number 2 today?
