June 22, 201610 yr Rick Astley looks set to have more longevity than anyone suspected. Unless Jake Bugg has massive streaming sales that's missing, then he's quite easily staying top three as his lead keeps increasing.
June 22, 201610 yr Great achievement for Radiohead to be back at #1! Really hope Adele and Calum Scott stay Top 20 - Would also like to see The Neales manage it too!
June 22, 201610 yr Take That still in there :yahoo: I cant see the top 3 albums changing. Rick Astley will come close to 20,000 which is about 5 times higher than i thought he would achieve in his second week but i am delighted with the outcome. I remain surprised with Radiohead outselling Red Hot Chilli Peppers when considering the sales Radiohead have already achieved. I wonder how many people downloaded the Radiohead album in week 1 are now also purchasing the actual cd on its week 1 release as i would believe there would be a lot.
June 22, 201610 yr they're both in the top 45, seems unlikely that either of them will make the top 40 this week though.

Radiohead fans are like the indie equivalent of boy band fans and seem to buy every format - The same happened to their last studio album (To a lesser extent) when it was released on CD several weeks after the download release. The King of Limbs: 7-13-20-32-7...
June 22, 201610 yr The repeak on King of Limbs was due to the special edition being shipped... We're a loyal bunch us Radiohead fans and will happily shell out £50 on their super deluxe editions, it wouldn't surprise me if they are the most successful band in terms of sales for those type of editions. The super deluxe for A Moon Shaped Pool doesn't ship until September so it will be interesting to see how that affects it in the chart, it's likely to have another spike in sales.
June 23, 201610 yr Who the hell is buying Rick Astley ? Maybe your mother, father, grandma or grandpa. ;) Where is tom odell in albums? Poor brave Tom Odell is sitting at #9 on the midweek albums list. :( I wonder if he will remain top 10 on Friday, because Drake is at #10 and Beyoncé at #11. :kink: Edited June 23, 201610 yr by Jason
June 23, 201610 yr Fair play to Rick Astley most other weeks this year he would be on his way to a 2nd week at #1! He seems to have tapped into the powerful silent tribe of CD shoppers that continue to give the likes of Eva Cassidy etc, big sellers but seem to go unnoticed.

Adele sold something like 544,000 CD's in the first week of "25"'s release so there are still a significant number of people out there who'd buy CD's. Edited June 23, 201610 yr by Hassaan

June 23, 201610 yr Comparing Adele to Rick Astley though is a bit of a stretch! His Album is twice the Album that Adele's is though :lol:

I think I use this post as my siggie :lol: post of the week... Which gives me a good idea to list best chart posts of the week, put into a poll, and let members decide the best. :lol:

June 23, 201610 yr some of us also said Rick was not gonna drop much on week 2, think people expecting a 1-29 fall were delusional sorry :)
June 23, 201610 yr While i did not expect a 1-29 drop i had feared a 1-14-40-74 style chart run so i am thrilled to be see how wrong i am.
June 23, 201610 yr There has been so much feel good press regarding Rick as the unexpected comeback king that I suspected her would hang around for a while - I do think the album will suddenly drop off quite quickly but it's also the kind of album that with a few well placed TV performances for a follow up single will see it get a surge in sales - Incredible for him though that he's likely to be silver by next week!
June 23, 201610 yr Okay, this is relation to next week's chart, but Adele should experience an even greater boost following her Glastonbury performance as her album will finally be available on Spotify! :cheer: http://www.digitalspy.com/music/news/a7989...ing-to-spotify/
