October 29, 20169 yr Wow so much Tove Lo hate :cry: I got the album yesterday, love it! I love it too! I went and got an additional CD copy in HMV today and they told me that it is the first they had sold! :o
October 29, 20169 yr Most #1 contenders reach the top within that time.. I doubt he is selling more than the #1 last week! I know. But there is serious promo going on for Mr. Arthur and his album was very anticipated. Even if he doesn`t sell as much as number 1 album from last week. It will probably land on number 1 this week. James is number 1 since Friday 0:40 meanwhile Elvis is now 14.
October 29, 20169 yr Elvis is not an iTunes artist by any means... I believe something like 10% of his sales are digital

I don't even think Elvis got the iTunes number one last week and still went to number 1 officially by a few thousand.
October 29, 20169 yr I'm not having this Tove Lo bashing. :( She's pretty much an inspiration to me. Do we actually have a clue where the album is, or are we just assuming it's likely she won't make the top 40? She deserves better at any rate.

It's assumption at the moment but she's currently 22 on iTunes and it's falling quite fast :( Such a shame
October 29, 20169 yr I thought everyone knew who Daniel O'Donnell and PJ Harvedy are. I didn't think I'd meet anyone who'd never heard of Daniel O'Donnell until I worked in London last week, when I mentioned him to people of a similar age range to myself from the UK, and they'd never heard of him, which really surprised me.

He holds a UK album chart record. He's charted an album every year for each of the last 28 years. This year will be 29 consecutive years. He tends to go top 10 then fall quickly but still a good record to hold. My CD copy of I Have A Dream arrived today!
October 29, 20169 yr Getting back to the Predictions..... The top end of the Album Chart is a little hard to call this week as there are a couple of follow-ups to Number 1's (James Arthur & Avenged Sevenfold), several follow-ups to strong selling Albums (Jack Savoretti, Alexander Armstrong, Madness & The Courteneers) as well as Daniel O'Donnell. Should be strong holds from Elvis and Buble as well as Phil Collins and Kings of Leon so could be bad news for Lady Gaga's chances of staying in Top 10.
October 29, 20169 yr Just don't get it how Tove Lo, a household name that nearly everyone knows, can flop, yet someone I've never heard of in my entire life can 'get top 10'? Like I've not a clue who PJ Harvey is and she got to #1, yet AlunaGeorge are one of the more popular British acts yet they missed top 40? What? Wow, this post made me feel sooooo old!
October 29, 20169 yr Wow, this post made me feel sooooo old! Me too but I think we need to get some perspective, PJ Harvey is the only Artist in History to win the Mercury Prize twice. I am not her biggest fan but you can't argue with her achievements.
October 29, 20169 yr I think in the mainland, Daniel O'Donnell is mainly know to older people and chart geeks who know about him having a chart album every year. I don't know whether he might be particularly familiar to Irish people over here but he gets zero airplay and I don't think he's on the telly much either. He very evidently has an audience though.
October 29, 20169 yr Daniel O 'Donnell albums chart much much higher in the UK than here in Ireland, many of his UK top 10 albums only manage top 50 in Ireland and we all know how low sales are in Ireland. James Arthur will most likely get the number 1 album but i would not be totally shocked to see Elvis retain the number 1 based on the success of his album last year alone. Little Mix will hopefully get the 3rd week at number 1 in the singles.
October 30, 20169 yr Lol how can you compare an established artist with D'ODs album chart record to an artist who is still establishing herself in the singles market?!🤔
