But isnt the next CB supposed to be with

Sam Smith?

 

Either Sam Smith or Jess Glynne, both are confirmed I think but no one knows in which order.

 

The new Sam Smith single is so dull, i expected a change of direction for him but it seems we have to content ourselves with an album of boring tuneless ballads which will be in the HMV discount shelf by the end of the year...

Not quite. It'll be one of the biggest sellers of the year purely cos of the Xmas market.

 

I agree the song is boring though. It sounds like a bonus track from his debut.

Apparently the rest of the material does take on a new direction, just went with the safe formula for the lead single.

Sam Smith's new single sounds like something that could have been released 5 years ago. It's awful!

But the music scene 5 years ago is in a different league to today's.

Indeed, it does feel like we're in a lull period.

Great to see Sparks heading for their first top forty album for over 40 years :cheer:

I assume both Megan McKenna songs will drop out, and it'll look something like this on Friday...

 

1 Sam Smith

5 ZAYN

19 Logic

33 Kelly Clarkson

38 Stefflon Don

Amazing looking top 5 - hopefully Zia can at least stay at #5. Good recovery from Still Got Time.

YASSS KELLY! One of my favourite songs of the past few years and really hope it can remain top 40 :wub:

Rag'N'Bone Man's Album up to #4 after his appearance on ITV1 on Saturday, The National seem to have the #1 spot in the bag though.

More new entries in Top 10 Albums than I thought but can see only 3 hanging on unless Sparks can pull a surprise.

Yessss Logic. :wub: I hope that can sneak into the top 20 by Friday, but I'm happy nevertheless that it's in the top 40 at all.

Don't look that good for Megan McKenna.

 

Well done to the National on their first #1 album, sales must be pretty dismal at the top.

If National are 6k ahead they are probably heading to something like 15-18k which is quite average for #1 now.

Any chance of sales for Nadine? She's at 67.

Would be lowest Sales for a #1 new entry this year by some margin though.

We don't know any more than you do I'm afraid!

Instruction going 17 to out of the Top 40 though :(

 

Feels like it hasn't stuck around long enough really imo. Annoying.
