There maybe a change at the top, unfortunately Ed Sheeran is in contention with replacing himself with 'Galway Girl' unless 'Shape of You' sticks around for its 13th week stint at #1. New entries from Calvin Harris collaborating with Young Thug, Pharrell Williams and Ariana Grande on 'Heatstroke', and Cheat Codes could just sneak in there with 'No Promises' collaborating with Demi Lovato. Expect a few climbers into the top 40 singles from Little Mix feat Machine Gun Kelly on 'No More Sad Songs', Martin Solveig feat. Ina Wroldsen on 'Places', Jason Derulo, and Kendrick Lamar. Julia Michaels 'Issues' which is a bit of a surprise hit for me could get a new peak inside the top 10.

 

On the album front Ed Sheeran is looking for a 5th week at #1 in the album chart, is closest competition will be Jamiroquai 'Automaton', Goldfrapp release a new studio album titled 'Silver Eye' who are aiming to enter the album chart inside the top 10. Other new album releases from Mastodon 'Emperor of Sand', British Sea Power 'Let the Dancers Inherit the Party', Aimee Mann 'Mental Illness', Bob Dylan 'Triplicate' and Nelly Furtado 'The Ride'.

NO OTHER SALES INFO

As the number 1 Album has become a bit of a foregone conclusion we should shift the focus to predicting the number 2.

Will Take That hold steady or maybe Jamiroquai can overtake their Nineties rivals. Rag 'N' Bone Man may be able to steal it though?

 

 

Is the Now album out this week?

Next Friday^

Louisa is performing Best Behaviour on Saturday Night Takeaway tonight - that's the best promotion she'll get.

I'm really intrigued to see how Jamiroquai and Goldfrapp do in the albums, with both being considered "veteran" acts now.

Hope JQ grabs the @2 spot

But probably will end up at 5 behind Ed,TT, Rag & Drake

Goldfrap will be low top 10 I fear

 

Shape has slowed down a lot on itunes, Symphony and Galway are doing double

Maybe Galway could finally make it to @1

 

Kendrick, Future and Derulo could all be top 40 in singles come Friday

Shape of You still has several versions, doesn't it? Although the Major Lazer one is not getting spectacular numbers

Yeah I'd say Jason will sneak top 40 and Kendrick will be comfortably around 32-36.

Next Friday^

 

Thanks

 

Interesting to see the first numbers this week in the singles!

I hope Take That can stay top 5 at worst this week and rebound the the following week after the audience with.....

Exepcting the Moana soundtrack to see a boost in sales especially with the film coming out on blu ray/dvd on Monday

Furtado is gonna flop really bad with her new album...

Its been announced the Voice winner Mo has a single release after midnight titled 'Unsteady' available to buy and stream, I wonder how far it will go.

(it's an X Ambassadors cover, but still his official single)

This is the X Ambassadors version of Unsteady

 

 

I actually prefer the original verison.

Wait, I thought they announced last week that there wasn't going to be a winner's single for The Voice?
