May 15, 20179 yr Okay, I eat my words about it being unlikely Harry would be able to double Zayn's first week album sales when he's in fact almost outdone him in just three days and with two days of streaming missing! :P Hasn't it done pretty much double Zayn's entire first week already? I'm quite amazed by that. :o
May 15, 20179 yr Great that Harry is exceeding original expectations! I guess it's now a matter of whether it can stay stable. His audience is definitely more R2/the album buyers than Zayn ever was so to me, it's not surprising to see him pull these numbers in his opening week. By the end of last week, I did think the number he is currently at would be the number he got overall in sales for the first week. So to see him near 50k by the end of the week is brilliant! Surprised Paul Wellar is as low as #4. I expected him to be #2. With maybe Ed taking over on Wed/Thurs mids. So it's great to see Paramore above him so early on too! :D
May 15, 20179 yr Surprised that Manic Street Preachers are top 10, it's not even one of their better known albums.
May 15, 20179 yr Hope Skin can stay top 10, makes sense for such a big selling album to have another top 10 hit!

May 16, 20179 yr So Clean Bandit on course to continue with their steady decline down the charts since getting to the top with a potential 1-2-3-4 run. Ed Sheeran ('SOY') also looking at a 1-2-3-4-5 run. (I can see both overtaking Harry Styles and Shawn overtaking CB).
May 16, 20179 yr Miley is headed for a #12-13 debut then. Kygo/Ellie out of top 40 but I expect it to be around #37 when streaming is factored in. I am fully expecting Miley to go back to her regular peak of #11 with Malibu. Would love to see it go top 10 still, but probably won't be for a week or two as streaming/airplay increases (hopefully). Shame Lucie couldn't even get into the top 40 at this point. Hopefully she can scrape a top 100 position when the chart is announced on friday.
May 16, 20179 yr I'd love it if she actually peaked at #11 though, so she can be the first artist to claim four UK #11 hits (I think) :lol:

Although when Simply Red first charted back in 1985 there was a proper band set up, only Hucknall was named on the contract he signed with the record label, publishing company etc. However the last member of the original line-up didn't leave until late 1995 and Hucknall didn't start using only session musicians until 1996.

May 16, 20179 yr Surprised that Manic Street Preachers are top 10, it's not even one of their better known albums. Agreed, it is performing surprisingly well - I own the original CD from 10 years ago and can't remember many of the songs. Interestingly it was kept off number 1 by Arctic Monkeys by a margin of only 690 copies.
