Posted October 3, 200619 yr Killers go on first-day sales rampage Source: Music Week The Killers are a certainty to reach number one with their second album this weekend after retailers report Sam’s Town broke through six figures during its first day on sale. The Mercury album, which was released yesterday, has already sold more than 100,000 copies to outperform its nearest challenger by around three copies to one. It will be looking to match or even surpass the first-week sales last month of another Universal second album, Scissor Sisters’ Tah-Dah! which opened with 288,167 sales and is now set to be replaced at one by The Killers. Sam’s Town will be joined in the Top 10 this Sunday by two other new entries, The Open Door by Wind Up/Columbia’s Evanescence who are in a battle with Scissor Sisters for runners-up spot, and Shine On by Atlantic’s Jet. Rosette-signed Daniel O’Donnell is also pushing for a Top 10 place with new album Until The Next Time, while lower down new entries are expected from Demon-signed Marti Pellow with a new solo set, Relentless’s Kt Tunstall with a new acoustic album and San Remo/Island’s Scott Matthews, with debut offering Passing Stranger. As Razorlight’s self-titled second album aims to retain its top-five status this week, the Vertigo/Mercury band are on course to score their first-ever number one single with the physical bow of America expected to take it from its debut position of 15 on Sunday to the top of the chart. If it does reach the top, it will put to an end a four-week reign by Polydor’s Scissor Sisters with I Don’t Feel Like Dancin’. Two other tracks charting on digital-only sales last week are also expected to progress into the top five – Bad Boy/Atlantic’s P Diddy featuring Nicole Scherzinger with Come To Me and Defected-signed Bob Sinclair & Cuttee B with Rock This Party. Baywatch star David Hasselhoff, whose success on the German music charts is almost legendary, will now have a sizable UK hit on his hands as his single Jump In My Car – released on the Skintight label – is battling with Reprise/Warner Bros’ My Chemical Romance with Welcome To The Black Parade for highest-new-entry honours. =================================================================== Singles 01 Razorlight - Amercia 02 Scissor Sisters - I Don't Feel Like Dancin' Top 5 P.

And to think JDL said it would sell 60k?! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
October 3, 200619 yr great news for Evanescence hope they can reach number 2! didnt expect razorlight to get to number 1, its a decent song though, hope Diddy can rise. hope Bob Sinclair falls
October 3, 200619 yr Author Not sure about the top 5 albums, I've put question marks, that's how I think they are, they could be different for all I know.
October 3, 200619 yr Author As Razorlight’s self-titled second album aims to retain its top-five status this week, the Vertigo/Mercury band are on course to score their first-ever number one single with the physical bow of America expected to take it from its debut position of 15 on Sunday to the top of the chart. If it does reach the top, it will put to an end a four-week reign by Polydor’s Scissor Sisters with I Don’t Feel Like Dancin’. I think its pretty close between Razorlight and SS, the report say "if it does reach the top"
October 3, 200619 yr YAY! For Razorlight! :cheer: I'm still waiting for The Killers album to grow on me :unsure:
October 3, 200619 yr Author Missing in action are Bedouin Soundclash (New Version) Nerina Pallot Trivium Ne-Yo Soul Avengerz To be honest I can't see that many new entrys in the Top 40 this week
October 3, 200619 yr :o Wow at the sales for the Killers! It would be amazing if America by Razorlight reach the top as well, so fingers crossed :D
October 3, 200619 yr No! :o I want a fifth week for the Scissors, if Razorlight reached the top this would be the first truely terrible week since McFly :arrr:
October 3, 200619 yr Hopefully Scissors will do the double again but i have a feeling the killers will topple them in the albums!! It says the Killers are outselling the Sisters 3-1. I think them doing the double is unlikely - they may #1 in neither chart.
