1 Michael Ball and Alfie Boe - Together [39.3k]

2 The Rolling Stones - Blue & Lonesome [31.7k]

3 Elvis Presley - The Wonder Of You [25.1k]

4 Little Mix - Glory Days [25.0k]

5 Olly Murs - 24 HRS [22.0k]

 

At the same stage last week it looked like this:

 

1 Rolling Stones - Blue and Lonesome (65.6k) *

2 Michael Ball & Alfie Boe - Together (27.1k)

3 Elvis Presley - The Wonder of You (23.5k)

4 Little Mix - Glory Days (22.3k)

5 Olly Murs - 24 Hrs (16k)

 

So looks like Olly and Ball & Boe will better their sales from last week, although Little Mix could still pick up a bit more.

I expect Matt to do better than Louisa because I would've thought Spotify will support the single on its playlists given the tie-in with the show they've had this year.

 

Speaking of Matt, is there a physical release of the single? I think that might help him a fair bit.

Yes, but iTunes sales from yesterday is missing, it'll impact Little Mix in particular who got a big post-X Factor album boost.

Quite surprised Elvis has decreased slightly since then!

I think Little Mix can beat Rolling Stones and run to number #2. Only 100 copies between LM and Elvis.

10% of its total so far this week is on streams!

oh, I see, so about 130k streams for it then per two days, which is about 60-70k streams per day, not that bad! I wonder where is it in Apple Music charts?

No, it was previously announced there will be no physical release for the Winner's Single for the first time.

I think LM will finish at number 2 on the album chart.

 

If iTunes data is missing then hopefully Kylie will be better than top 60 in the album midweeks. Top 40 is possible which would be a good boost at this time of year.

The lack of physicals may not dampen Matt's sales too much as its likely that those who buy the cd single don't download the so those sales should transfer (most of them),that said, i am sure the cd single has been used for many a stocking filler for children in the past.

 

Out of all the new contenders i like Louis Tomlinsons track the most, it surprised me how much i enjoyed it.

 

Wonderful to see Katie Melua back in the top 40 albums, this album is doing well for her.

 

I did think Kylie would be higher in the albums but the X Factor effect wont have hit yet, that said, her performance would have done nothing to sway me into buying the album, it was a wasted opportunity for such an excellent promotion slot.

 

Little Mix should comfortably take number 2in the albums and i am delighted Olly Murs is holding in the top 5.

The Vamps holding up really well - could take off in the New Year when all the Christmas songs plummet?

If iTunes data is missing, how are Zaylor at number 5? Have they really sold that much through other platforms?

 

 

Possibly amazon, also the song vanished from itunes for a few hours so people may have gone to amazon to buy it during that period

40 Lady Gaga - Million Reasons *

 

I know some data is missing, but it's great to finally see in the top 40!

 

Tonight : Victoria's Secret Fashion Show

Tomorrow : Royal Variety

 

it has a very good chance of reaching the top 40 by Friday!

40 Lady Gaga - Million Reasons *

 

I know some data is missing, but it's great to finally see in the top 40!

 

The data missing will actually work in her favour, as it's iTunes data missing and Million Reasons was high on iTunes.

Think we all underestimated Human! At this point I'm thinking...

 

1. Louis

2. Matt

3. CB

4. Rag'n'Bone Man

5. The Weeknd

6. Mariah

7. Rae Sremmurd

8. ZAYlor

9. James Arthur

10. Zara

 

24. Little Mix (Touch) *

29. Little Mix (Oops) *

35. J.Cole *

33. Lady Gaga *

 

..but I'll revise them when we get a full, correct update.

The data missing will actually work in her favour, as it's iTunes data missing and Million Reasons was high on iTunes.

 

Oh, I misread that part.

 

In that case, it's definitely entering top 40 by the end of the week, hoping for top 30, depends on the tonights and tomorrow's boost.

I personally cant see Matt getting #2 after missing few days of sales, Plus I would imagine it to start dropping on iTunes shortly.

 

I think he could debut top 5 maybe? Which would be a better result than last year's single.

No, it was previously announced there will be no physical release for the Winner's Single for the first time.

 

Louisa only sold around 30,000 CD singles in total, so they isn't as much of a market for them anymore, it appears!

That's still a large chunk of her sales though! They helped her out hugely and ultimately kept her top 10 in week 1.

Just looked at the J Cole album and the cover really reminds me of a Lukas Graham single cover! Needless to say they don't sound anything alike
