Would greatly welcome Calvin Harris & Rag'n'Bone Man improving as it is a great song.

Westlife improving on yesterdays position is very promising.

Steady decline for Claire Richards but is showing signs to stay in the Top 10.

Glad Rag and Bone Man has got another hit with the Calvin collab. Stii wonder how his 2nd album will fare
Fingers crossed for Busted, would be so cool for them to finally get a #1 album all these years later! I'm going to go buy a copy at some point this week.
Love a good chart battle - Busted have added another signing and another show on Saturday but you have to buy the album/ticket bundle tomorrow to get entry, The Specials added 1,000 signed CDs to their online store today.

Really want them to get it - would be amazing for them and they are throwing everything they can at it tbh (Signed CDs available on their online store btw!).

It’s good he’s doing features to keep his name out there whilst presumably working on his second album

Busted now getting desperate!

Their Half Way There album now reduced to £4.99 on iTunes.

Presumably Busted weren't going to do any of their signings in the branches of HMV that have closed then?

 

No, all independents - HMV are not even stocking the album due to the administration.

didn't realise the two old Busted albums had both peaked at #2

 

do all these sales from their website count for the UK charts? I mean if people buy from abroad, it still counts cos the shop is uk?

Yeah I've never fully understood what the rules around that are. Is the country the sale is attributed to based on the location of the website or the delivery address?

Matt Willis on Twitter has said that The Specials have overtaken them!

From the OCC:

 

The race for Number 1 on this week's Official Albums Chart remains seriously close, with four records separated by just a handful of sales and streams.

 

As of today's sales flash (Feb. 6), Official Charts can reveal that The Specials' Encore, which occupied the Number 2 slot in Monday's Official Chart Update, have now edged ahead of midweek leaders Busted by just 689 combined sales.

 

A string of signings and live performances in indie record shops across the country has helped The Specials generate the most physical sales (CD and vinyl) so far this week.

 

Busted are currently at Number 2 with Half Way There, their fourth album that marks a return to their classic punk-pop sound. The trio have announced extra in-store signings in Nottingham and London this week to clinch extra support from fans. The group lead the way when it comes to digital downloads.

 

If The Specials or Busted claim this week's Number 1, it will be their first UK chart-topper.

 

Stone Roses singer Ian Brown is also still in the running with his seventh solo album Ripples at Number 3, while chart juggernaut The Greatest Showman is at Number 4. Just over 2,000 combined sales currently separate the Top 4.

 

Meanwhile, this week's most streamed album so far - Fredo's debut collection Third Avenue - sits at Number 5.

 

ohhhhh boo

well at least it's not TGS (yet)

 

it was funny reading on twitter people were telling Busted oh we're streaming the album and they were like

no no no the stream ratio is too low, it's better if you go buy the album :D
