BGT winner, a quick google search tells you all you need to know! :P

How on earth is Tokio Myers keeping NOW 98 off the top?

 

Most that buy now series are physicals :lol:

So in the absence of an Eminem release (so far) this week is shaping up as wide open in the Album chart, couldn't call it at the moment.

 

Will be good to see 'In Winter' by Katie Melua continue to rise again this year, #161 on iTunes seems a bit low at this point but selling more as a physical.

think eminem could still release, he's performing on SNL tonight, right? could release it afterwards

or maybe he'll wait til Black Friday?

Yes, I agree - it does seem a bit odd though there is no Major International Release this week given it is surely one of the biggest Release weeks of the year (for Albums).

 

Incidentally I am assuming Morrissey's Album is eligible for the Charts this week? There was a massive spike in Sales for the Album during the period when Amazon customers could pre-order to receive exclusive access to tickets for the UK tour before they went on general sale to the public. I guess this wouldn't affect eligibility but still Morrissey will struggle to push 25k Sales.

Paloma's Album a little harder to call, seems to be slightly underperforming but 30k may be enough this week. If it can't make that total then likely to be a return to top for someone.

Hope Tom Chaplin does well!

120. Tove Lo - Blue Lips

 

What a disaster :cry:

10. Tears for Fears - Rule the World: The Greatest Hits

 

Nice boost after Strictly appearance - I assume they performed 'Everybody Wants To Rule the World' given it is up to #54 on iTunes chart.

 

Taylor's Album seems to be holding up well at #2, enough to stay top overall this week I wonder.

Random Eighties Update (after CIN Rock the 80's Concert and various other 80's Artists getting boost):

Not sure if Noel's album is going to break 100k like I was initially expecting, not if Sam and Taylor's albums couldn't make it and Liam's wasn't that far over the mark (his album felt much more anticipated). Looking forward to what the album has to offer.

Noel/Little Mix for the top 2 this week maybe? Although idk if this LM rerelease is really publicised enough to get that high (what with it not really having a proper lead single yet). Matt Terry possibly scraping the top 10 if he's lucky I guess. André Rieu back again *. the first time since 2011 that he didn't have any other chart entries during the year aside from the 'big' Q4 release though, poor guy.

 

I'd be surprised if Noel breaks 100k this time but hopefully he'll not be too far off.

Likely to be a few boosts this week for Albums reduced for Black Friday. Just got the CD of "Twelve Tales Of Christmas" from Tom Chaplin on Amazon for £4.99, it was only released last week so an absolute bargain. Sia's Christmas Album £7.99 so will hopefully stabilize in the Official Chart before rising in the run-in to Christmas.

I really don't get why LM didn't have a proper single to push the re-issue, they could have grabbed another hit (even a #1) and

also pushed the album sales further, wasted opportunity

 

 

Is the LM release combined with the old version I take?

Update from Mint Royale: Poor old Noel isn't selling as well as Liam.

I would think he means Liam's first week Sales :)

Is the LM release combined with the old version I take?

 

Yeah its basically the same album with 4 new songs tacked on
