The Stones album is holding up really well. Expected it out of the top 3 this week.

Joanne #43, great chance to go top 40, brilliant!

Irregardless of the Little Mix, Louis and Matt Terry tracks that'll make more of an appearance soon, the amount of change we're seeing this week is great. Would be great to see Rag'n'Bone Man stay as high as possible, maybe #4 is doable for him.

Calum Scott at #39 which is decreasing on streaming so it should finally be out of the top 40 on Friday

I'm legitimately shocked to see Olly Murs having such fantastic staying power with this album. I thought for sure his hype had evaporated after the relatively poor performance of his singles this era.

 

I sincerely hope Clean Bandit, or even Matt, manage to block Louis Tomlinson. It would be the worst #1 of the year without a doubt, which is quite a feat given that 'Stitches' and 'Closer' reached the top.

 

Irregardless

 

Triggered.

Good to see Kylie Christmas move back up to 53rd and hopefully sneak top 50 on Friday after some media interest over the weekend.

 

Who would have thought a Kylie re-issue of a Christmas album would be nearly outselling a Lady Gaga studio album which is only a few weeks old............

I hope the music awards can propel John Legend into the top 20 and to make Robbie Williams return to the top 40

Yes it is a little bit of a surprise he has stayed above Robbie in the last couple of weeks given the amount of promotion Robbie is getting in - also a little bit ironic given the mentoring Robbie gave to Olly on the X factor...

Robbie on the BBC Music Awards tonight though, may give him boost to overtake Olly...

The official top 100 singles/albums update page is not opening for me. :(

Oly Murs has had huge tv promo too plus multiple singing slots on radio 1 and radio 2.

Nor me either. The site is obviously playing up

It's been having problems on and off for a few weeks now.

Re Olly and Robbie - they both have had as many promo slots as each other - wth Olly getting radio 1 support too. It's true though - Ollys singles don't seem to have impacted as much this time although his album sales remain huge!

Any position for Emeli on the album chart?

LML probably won't do anything now as Robbie is performing "Sensational"

Love My Life is a fantastic track and should have been top 10 IMO - in another era it would have been - but it'll give people another reason to buy the album!

Not seen him on tv much in last 2 weeks though to compare with the Brits Icon hour and a half special that Robbie had.

He has been on loads of things I've watched like Michael McIntyre twice and Graham Norton!

Fair play to him, he was also on Strictly takes two tonight I think, he is obviously putting the work in. Just think Robbie has had the pick of the Promotion slots.

Looking at the YTD sales for both Albums it is neck and neck between the two, couldn't call which will finish higher in the Year End sales chart.

Robbie impressive IMO as he doesn't get support from a younger age group any longer as he's older and made the move to radio 2.

 

But then again older artists are performing better with albums due to younger people not buying albums any more!
