Surely the chart announced Fri. 22nd will be the Xmas chart though?

I really think once they’ve done some promo and nearer to Christmas given it’ll be a big stocking filler, Little Mix will take it.

 

They’re selling 35k this week with a very low key release.

But it has no radio airplay for a current single like Ed does!

 

Think Ed and Sam will battle it out. Would like a shock tho like Elvis or someone!!

Everything up for grabs after this weeks mids, U2 likely won't now after poor opening sales but they still have the tv special on the 19th which may help but they might be on a low base even by then.

 

Clearly Ed & Sam looking likely favs now but there time for much to change!!

Eminem releases 15th but will it debut strongly enough?

What did his last album do? I know he's hada top 10 single from it and it's had decent airplay for it from radio 1 but can't see him doing more than 45-50k!

Lol at Taylor on this list!

 

Sam Smith, with a chance of Ed spoiling his no.1

Quite surprised only 14 voted for Ed!

 

Anyone who voted him, Sam and Alfie/Ball have a real chance! And only 1 vote for Pink.

 

Only one chart left!

Yes, Ed certainly looking favourite at this point. Looks like Buzzjack has underestimated him.

 

Interesting looking at previous Christmas #1 Albums there has never been one that only had a single week at the top. Eminem could potentially change that but doubt it now, suspect he will debut at #3 behind Ed and Sam. Both have good promotion at the weekend (Ed on Strictly and Sam on The Graham Norton Show) on the back of some Sales momentum as well.

I think it's more a case of us overestimating Sam Smith. I voted for Sam in this thinking he'd be selling over 100k for several weeks including Xmas but he's not even managed one week over 100k. I thought Ed or BallBoe would be just behind him. x

Pink is probably overperformed out of them all!

Looking good for Eminem so far - could be the first time in a while the no1 album comes for a release this late!

This is really too close to call!!

I hope Eminem has increased his lead from Ed

Same here but Ed will likely get no1 next week and a few years after as his price goes down in the sales and his performances on Christmas TOTP and NYE performance on Jools which always has a big effect!!

Well done to the 6 who guessed Eminem - first time in a long while the xmas no1 album is one released xmas week itself!

Could Eminem's Album be the first Christmas #1 Album in history to get only a single week at the top?

Without checking there must have been others? Although the Now albums must have dominated the 80s until the compilation chart was introduced - as I said there's rarely a big release like that that far into Q4!

No others have only spent 1 week Christmas Number One Albums by Week
