I thought Sam would do well with her album but clearly not. She has album signings at HMV all week which will help - I streamed the album and it's surprisingly good.

I really hope AlunaGeorge chart decently with 'I Remember', although I'm not expecting them to :'(

I don't want Bastille hanging on to the top spot. Usher to dethrone them please

I know, 2 weeks at the top. What a chart hog.

I don't mind albums spending multiple weeks at the top, only on the condition that there's no new releases, not when there's loads of new releases and None of them can topple it

#5/6 is probably the ceiling, for james arthur's abomination, while it languishes outside the spotify top50 ~ still that's an incredible result for someone that washed up~

 

given the current state of churn at the top of the album chart, you wouldn't bet against a new #1~ :heehee:

It'd be nice to see James at #1 as I really like the song. He'd be the first X Factor male winner to get a post-win #1 if he manages it.

Eek. James decreasing on Kworb, looks as though that #2 isn't in his grasp after all :(

I'm surprised he's held on as long as he has tbh, he's had an interview and 30 second clip shown on This Morning and minimal airplay.

My dad had Heart FM on in the car earlier and they are already playing James Arthur. I think he'll do just fine.

At this rate, James Arthur could be the first person to be #1 on sales while missing the top 10 officially

I don't think so, James Arthur is doing okay on streaming now (he's just outside the Spotify top 50) so I imagine top 10 this week is incredibly likely.

At this rate, it looks like 2016 will break the record for least number ones

 

 

At this rate every Hadji post will start with the words 'at this rate' or make ridiculous incorrect predictions like:

 

On Friday, "One Dance" could become the first song to be top 10 officially while out of the top 40 on sales and vice versa for Sia

 

One Dance was at 23 on sales, whilst Sia was at 14.

It climbed to #23 on sales because of X Factor

But you said it on 7th September, which was after the X Factor?

"One Dance" was actually used on 10th September's X Factor

I think it's in the bag for James Arthur this week!

He's still too far behind on streaming. He'll be on the top 50 playlist; which will obviously help with the latter part of the week. However I reckon top 10/5 this week and then Number 1 next week.

 

Chainsmokers will have built up too much of a lead on streaming over the weekend
