If SOY gets knocked off the top on Friday but returns to the top next week, I wouldn't mind because he won't have beaten Bryan's record

Looking at yesterday's mids, I think Harry has got a clear lead, we should get a more clear picture later.

If SOY gets knocked off the top on Friday but returns to the top next week, I wouldn't mind because he won't have beaten Bryan's record

Next week is certainly looking even harder to predict than this week but I think there may be a Video or two dropped next week to influence Sales.

Looks like Harry has gone big budget on his Video, I wouldn't mind predicting will be released on Friday.

Early update incoming :D

Ed didn't outsell Harry by quite as much as I thought yesterday, by about 1.2k in fact, so an 8k lead does look too big for Ed to overcome.

 

If we assume everything sells the same today and tomorrow (it won't of course, but for estimating purposes), then the top 4 on Friday will look like:

 

NEW 1 SIGN OF THE TIMES HARRY STYLES (60.1k)

1 2 SHAPE OF YOU ED SHEERAN (54.0k)

2 3 GALWAY GIRL ED SHEERAN (51.1k)

3 4 SYMPHONY CLEAN BANDIT FT ZARA LARSSON (48.8k)

 

Bearing in mind there's almost definitely a day of Spotify missing (in today's Spotify update, there's a 1.6k chart sale gap between Ed and Harry), but that's still a comfortable lead for Harry :cheer:

yes, think Harry will be just safe, close but safe

 

so yesterday Harry did only 1.2K less that Shape... what about Symphony? cos it's doing double than Shape on iTunes and it's just barely 100K behind on Spotify now

~700 copies less for Symphony yesterday! Tuesday's biggest sellers:

 

1 Shape of You

2 Galway Girl

3 Symphony

4 Sign of the Times

 

then quite a big drop to Drake who was the fifth biggest seller yesterday.

Yeah, I think Harry will end up being about 3-4k ahead still by the end of the week.

 

Then we may end up with a 50k 'Shape Of You' #1 the following week :cry:

I know it's a third single, but No More Sad Songs deserved a better peak.

i think it will be Symphony next week, sure it will return to #1 on iTunes in a couple of days, and could climb to #1 on the Spotify list too (even if Shape is #1 combined) but the visibility gained then should give it more sales and streams... CB should do like Ed and start releasing multiple versions on Spotify with any rent-a-rapper they could get from Pitbull to Flo Rida ;D cos it's all those versions that are keeping Shape at #1

Honestly, Clean Zara should 59p on Friday, they'd get quite the iTunes bump and easily secure the #1 I'd say.

59p would be a VERY smart move for Clean Bandit next week, I really hope they grab that opportunity.

 

Failing that, might as well call up Sean Paul again for a remix :kink:

LMAO if after all this the number one single is just 'Shape of You' again.

 

Really hope Clean Bandit tries for the #1 next week though.

 

#SymphonyStreamingParty

I'm really hoping Clean Bandit are #1 next week, I don't really want Ed Sheeran as my birthday #1 track of 2017 :nocheer:

Is Zara's album top 20?

Is Zara's album top 20?

 

It is!

I hope 'Shape Of You' doesn't go back to Number 1 next week! We really need to start moving on from it now!

Harry will probably be number one, I wonder if Ed will also get knocked off the top of the albums, not this week but the following Friday by Kendrick Lamar

Doubt it, previous Studio Album from Kendrick in 2015 opened at number 1 with 30k.

Ed will probably still have enough Sales to hold off Kendrick and all other challengers until Gorillaz.
