I know u have not sales info, but according to u all, how far could be robbie from #5 this week on albums?

thanks!

5K - 8K?

Pogues and Band Aid positions please.

 

#18 and not top 40!

Just realised where Drake is with One Dance, currently #40, I wonder if he can stay top 40 till the end of the year.

Impossible to answer that we only have top 5 sales.

 

Those album sales are very low given its December. Only a few years ago, albums were shifting 200k per week in run up to Christmas but this week may struggle to reach 100k but lack of strong releases this year is also a factor.

Louisa was the favourite to win that year, when she auditioned I just knew she would be one of the final 12.

 

It all boils down to the song choice in the end, it was awful, it didn't really connect, hence low sales.

It's a shame really as she has a great voice and one of few worthy of the ole Louis Walsh "you look like a popstar, you sound like a popstar" thing. We can all say it was manipulated for her to win but at the end of the day she deserved it imo. Fully agree the problem isn't her... it was the song. It really was a poor choice and even Simon admits it. Hopefully it showed you can't just give them any old rubbish. However, she went on to feature on Tears which has gone platinum so let's wait and see. They'll probably just ignore Forever Young now like Little Mix with Cannonball which is good for her.

 

Good to see a Christmas song in the Top 3 this week. Looks like a good couple of weeks.

 

Pity the album chart isn't what it used to be at Christmas.

Hopefully oops can go top 40 too its pretty catchy

While now very unlikely, i would like Little Mix to take number 2 in the albums.

Wow Katie Melula is back!

Hope Little Mix can somehow go top 15.

Not this week. Next week easy top 10 though.

Brill. Shame it didn't have a bit more traction, would be such a deserving Xmas #1. Any promo lined up this weekend?

Please advise Susan Boyle's position if still in the top 40, thank you!

Mariah really does not look on form to be challenging for #1 next week, 12th biggest track on Tuesday. Yes her streams will increase next week but unless there is some concerted effort to push it next week I don't think realistically she can expect anything better than #4. Peak streaming will fall on 23rd, 24th and 25th - all of which will count for the chart AFTER Christmas.

 

Time for MintRoyale to cash out! :P

#9 and not top 40!

 

Hope Charli can be this years Light it Up 😋!

Miss Boyle is at #29 in the albums chart.

 

Surprised Chris Rea is top 40. -_- He is #40 on Spotify, but only #71 on iTunes.

Indeed what promo do we have left this weekend or is that it for most artists?

 

No doubt Ball/Boe will be album no1 but I'm pretty sure LM will take Rolling Stones and be no2?

Just realised where Drake is with One Dance, currently #40, I wonder if he can stay top 40 till the end of the year.

 

Fingers crossed he can!

Great shout! Could ideally have a totally parallel run, haha.
