October 28, 20196 yr Depending on how close it is I presume Kanye could catch up to #2/3 over the week as he obviously has far more reliance on streams than Rick and James. Stereophonics definitely coming for #1 as expected though.
October 28, 20196 yr Stereophonics leading the pack is no surprise. I would greatly welcome Rick Astley and James Blunt holding their current positions at number 2 and 3. Selena Gomez, must stay top 5 to secure a first for her.
October 28, 20196 yr Until a chart mod is available, MW report is in The Official Charts Company Midweek Sales Flash is in, and Kanye West is making an impact with new record Jesus Is King. With 7,663 sales – missing Sunday’s streaming data – the rapper’s ninth album is currently at No.4. In the singles chart, West has three tracks in the Top 20, the highest of which is Follow God (9,900 sales). A further eight tracks from Jesus Is King are ‘starred out’ of the list. Ahead of West in the albums chart, The Stereophonics begin the week in top spot with Kind (22,037 sales), while Rick Astley’s The Best Of Me (7,945 sales) is in second place. James Blunt’s Once Upon A Mind (7,945 sales) is at No.3 and Rex Orange County’s debut set Pony (7,480 sales) completes the Top 5. Tones And I is off to a flyer in the singles chart, as Dance Monkey (26,546 sales) begins the week in top spot. Regard’s Ride It (13,700 sales), Selena Gomez’s Lose You To Love Me (13,252 sales) and Lizzo’s Good As Hell (10,614 sales) complete the Top 5. Top 100 on OCC

October 28, 20196 yr yay great sales for Stereophonics, but disappointing for Rick Astley and James Blunt... I knew Rick Astley was not gonna do the big figures some predicted... looks like Kanye will be #2 come Friday even more disappointing for Cigarettes after Sex, they've played non-stop live in all festivals in the world for the last couple years, though they were more popular by now :/ looks like Selena is gonna be #3, which is a great start in the top 40, hopefully she can make #1 in the coming weeks
October 28, 20196 yr A typo or are Rick and James really on exactly the same sales? :thinking: either way it is very close so #2 should definitely be achievable for Kanye, Rex OC might have some chance of overtaking one or both of them as well maybe although he'll probably be more frontloaded than Kanye. Yay for Niall being top 40 today, hope he will hang on there all week.
October 28, 20196 yr That's about what I expected for Cigarettes After Sex, I think they're bigger internationally.
October 28, 20196 yr A (very) hypothetical question, but a) if we consider Kanye West's album to be a Christian/gospel album, and b) that it rises to #1 in the album chart, when was the last time (if ever) that an explicitly Christian album reached the #1 in the album chart? I'm not sure if Stormzy's last album qualifies, although it did have a few tracks with the general "Jesus is Groovy" theme.
October 28, 20196 yr sure Stormzy doesn't count, just having a choir in a song doesn't make it christian music no clue if it's ever happened in the UK but of course it depends on your definition of christian music... cos I remember reading some lists in the past and they included U2 for instance, which imho is zero christian music...
October 28, 20196 yr I wouldn't count all the U2 albums as Christian music but I think The Joshua Tree qualifies. Obviously October is their most Christian album but not a UK chart-topper.
October 28, 20196 yr Dermot Kennedy Elbow Foals James Arthur All falling at a very fast rate. Have to say I’m shocked at Dermot’s continued descent down the charts, I thought it would stabilize after its 1-14 drop but it’s showing no signs of doing so. Considering how big ‘Outnumbered’ has been and the fact it’s such a radio friendly track I thought it would have helped the album a lot more.
October 29, 20196 yr Pet Shop Boys at No. 49 is great to see! Hopefully they can get their first Top 100 hit since 2013.
October 29, 20196 yr Is Megan eligible to chart? I’m sure this will be top 15 on sales at least this week
October 29, 20196 yr Looks like Foals are following Elbow and Dermot Kennedy as in dropping from number one to out of the top ten, this has got to be some kind of record
