There you go folks the weeks album chart with sales - what's your thoughts at who will be the Xmas no1 this week?

Think TGS have it in the bag. I think Buble does have good promo for this week but I can't see him outdoing TGS considering how far ahead they are right now as well as taking into account how theyll increase next week.

Anyone know what promo there is?

 

LM have already performed on Graham on Friday evening!

George Ezra is the only one with a chance of denying him it.

Promo coverage that may affect the chart this week

 

Friday - Graham Norton: Little Mix

George Ezra is on SPOTY (as is Paloma Faith).

That's good! George need another boost this weekend. Be interesting to see how Olly performs following the prime time Saturday night show, surely will have an effect on the album?

Fixed the promo slots with James Arthur & Anne Marie!

Christmas no1 for the Greatest Showman will mean it is coming for Adeles Record of 23 weeks at the top for her album 21!!

 

South Pacific (OST) - 115 weeks

The Sound Of Music (OST) - 70 weeks

The King And I (OST) - 48 weeks

Bridge Over Troubled Water (Simon and Garfunkel) - 33 weeks

Please Please Me (The Beatles) - 30 weeks

Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (The Beatles) - 27 weeks

21 (Adele) - 23 weeks

G.I. Blues (Elvis Presley) - 22 weeks

The Greatest Showman (OST) - 22 weeks (and counting)

And it would be exactly one-fifth of the way to equalling South Pacific :lol:

I know I blame the poor album sales in the early 60s for this mamouth no1 dominance. I made the point a few weeks ago that we are making a return to this era with our low sales climate in the current era. Whether that's the reason for the huge return of OST albums I'm not sure....

Top cassette!

 

Can Kylie Minogue topple 1975?

 

Not sure but she is giving it a good go

Tuesday mids are in - pretty much all to play for between Buble and TGS for me. Not one person picked George Ezra and he's challenging too!

Can’t believe Ari’s new song got pushed down by Mariah

It's just a buzz single though I think!

So do we have a winner then Folks?

Sgt. Pepper has 28 weeks at number 1.

Apologies Ben!

As expected.

The Greatest Showman – the film’s hugely successful cast recording takes this year’s Christmas Number 1 album with its strongest week of sales yet.

The collection shifted 69,000 units across sales and streams to rack up a 23rd non-consecutive week at Number 1. 85% of its sales this week were pure sales (CD, vinyl and download). The album, which was released in December 2017, hasn’t exited the Top 5 all year and, according to the BPI, has officially gone 5x platinum this week.

 

1,567,599 to date.

Some going Like especially considering sales are main physical! 69k is decent for it and as I said above it increased daily in sales. Could do as much next week as well!
