I'd be ecstatic if Betsy could go top 40, but we're probably looking at top 75 given how busy the week is. Honestly couldn't say if Shania or Wolf Alice will be number one, but Miley and Demi should be in the mix somewhere between #3 and #7, with Ed, Foo and Killers making up the numbers by the end of the week.

Yes, definitely shaping up to be one of the more unpredictable weeks, one of those weeks where the Albums doing well on iTunes are not at the very top of the Amazon Best Sellers.

I agree it is looking like a Shania/Wolf Alice 1-2 though. Benny Andersson's Album seems to have got a fair bit of momentum from his TV appearance this week and should make Top 10.

BETSY has an album out :o one of her tracks I'm using in the BJSC comp. ooops...

 

I'm tempted to get her album now.

That Michael Jackson release is so pointless... random songs from his back catalogue put together....

Hopefully Betsy can make it into the top 30, such an amazing album...

Surprised Shania isn't doing better on Amazon but reaching the Top 3 on iTunes is great for her. Still think she's likely to be #1 officially as she had been performing the best on pre-orders and has had good Radio 2 support.

 

Potentially a few solid new entries to the Top 10 this week!

Really hope Hurts do ok this week. The last album debuted at number 12 but fell out of the top 100 in week two :(

Price has all ready been reduced to £7.99, suspect it could be one compilation too many for some fans |

Wouldn't Demi/Miley have a edge on Shania/Wolf with streaming ?

Probably, but I feel like the pure sales of Wolf Alice and Shania will be a lot better. I can't see Miley nor Demi receiving more than 2k from streams.

Wolf Alice are the type of band to get quite a few week one album streams I think, Miley/Demi won't have that much of an advantage.

Miley and demi to both do well hopefully both go top 10

I think Shania has more chance of getting the #1 album, Wolf Alice don't have the fanbase like the Killers and The Foo Fighters I would imagine, I can't see them selling more than 38k, maybe I'm wrong. Foo Fighters will probably stick around inside the top 5 maybe, there was a special 2 hours of Jools Holland last night from midnight till 2 in the morning, saying that I don't think that would generate that much of viewers at that time of the night, Foo Fighters and Van Morrison were featured apparently.

 

Miley & Demi I would say towards the bottom end of the top 10, 6/7 and 7/8 ish. Michael Jackson's album could be anywhere I suppose, probably just miss out on a top 10 position.

Wolf Alice's Debut Album ('My Love Is Cool') opened at #2 in 2015 with Sales of 13,891, I think they should exceed that number this time and that will be enough to (at least) beat Ed's Sales. Shania's Sales are hard to predict given she hasn't released a Studio Album for 15 years but in the past she has been able to count on huge Album Sales, this time though the Reviews have not been too kind however she should still get enough Sales for #1 surely.

I think Wolf Alice can do it because they're likely to have more "urgent" buyers who'll want to grab the album in release week. Whilst Shania obviously has plenty of fans I reckon they were a relatively small set of her total audience and of course her huge sales were in the days when more people bought albums generally so it's very hard to guess what she'll do this time.

 

By the way, is there a deluxe of the Wolf Alice album? I saw two versions with different covers but no tracklisting in HMV.

"Greatest Hits" by Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers starting to climb at a fast rate after the awful news of Tom Petty's passing.

May be yet another new/re-entry in Top 20 overall this week (previously peaked at #18).

"Full Moon Fever" likely to show greatest increase in Sales as well.

Where’s Michael Buble at this stage?

Where’s Michael Buble at this stage?

Physically I am sure he is in Vancouver where he lives.

 

In terms of Album progress,

 

573. To be Loved - Michael Bublé

1049. Christmas (Deluxe Special Edition) - Michael Bublé

 

I am hoping that his Christmas Album gets overshadowed by Sia's Christmas Release this year.

 

Btw it is pleasing to see Dire Straits' 'Brothers In Arms' doing so well at the moment (currently #47), I suppose this is on the back of Mark Knopfler's appearance on The Killers Album?

I am hoping that his Christmas Album gets overshadowed by Sia's Christmas Release this year.

Good luck with that lol, Michael Bublé is synonymous with Christmas now, I really don't see the popularity of his Christmas album fading anytime soon.

 

I'm surprised he hasn't put out a sequel yet, perhaps this or next year?
