I take it the OCC weren't combining the two versions of I'll Never Love Again yesterday as it was only #64 in the first set of mids which did seem odd, glad it is well inside the top 40 now.

 

Dave is really trying to push for the #1 now on Twitter (asking fans to download the track, which has had an effect on iTunes actually) so he could potentially hold on to #2, but it'll be close. Can't actually see him closing in on #1 though as Calvin is still comfortably ahead.

Watch ASIB get multiple weeks at #2 in the albums chart without going to #1 :cry:

 

It’ll outsell Trench in the longrun though.

ASIB will definitely do better numbers in the long run than Trench, I'm not that bothered if it doesn't reach #1 as Gaga doesn't have a streak to continue (her most recent #1 is ARTPOP).
What could prevent ASIB going to #1 next week?

Jess Glynne.

I really don't see Jess Glynne as much of a threat, the new song hasn't caught on in the same way as the last couple so she might not open as big as she did with the first album. What did her last album open with?

 

If she does get to number 1 I don't think she'll get big numbers.

Jess’s debut sold 59K on its opening week but had very good longevity I think it’s still top 40 now.

It is, it's at number 35 this week. The album also spent its first 39 weeks on the chart inside the top 10 and its sales to date are over 1.1m.

Well I have completely underestimated Jess as an album seller. I still think the sales will be considerably lower this time, however she is more competition next week than I realised.

Jess won't be hitting the same sales as last time but she's easily going to hit #1.
Is Bohemian Rhapsody using Queens music performed by Queen or are the actors performing the tracks?

its Queen using rare vocals from live performances, and some rerecorded stuff

Really? So its not a cast recording?

Its Queen

 

The Bohemian Rhapsody soundtrack spans a total of 22 tracks. Five of these are taken from Queen’s legendary, 21-minute Live Aid performance in July 1985 and have never before been released in audio form.

 

There are also a handful of all-new takes on Queen classics, recorded specifically for this soundtrack. One is a version of “We Will Rock You” that incorporates both a studio cut and live performance audio complete with audience participation. There’s a rendition of “Don’t Stop Me Now” which features newly recorded guitar parts from Brian May. Smile, the predecessor band to Queen, also reunited to re-record their original song “Doing All Right” (Queen’s own version later appeared on their debut album).

 

To maintain the “soundtrack” feel to the project, Queen also recorded their very own arrangement of the famous 20th Century Fox theme song.

 

The entire soundtrack was produced by May and Queen drummer Roger Taylor. Engineering and co-production was handled by longtime Queen studio collaborators Justin Shirley-Smith, Kris Fredriksson, and Joshua J Macrae.
