While unlikely I hope Sharon Corr can stay top 100.

interesting to see heartbreak anthem re-enter the chart, hope it can stay there til friday

Considering the first vinyl pressings of the Robbie Vinyls, I expected slightly higher sales- given they won't add that much during the week, barely over 1k isn't much.

^guess no one knows about it

Am I right in saying that 6k gap between Shivers and Cold Heart is less than this stage last week?

 

I think CKay could be Top 5 by Friday.

Hoping Cold Heart starts closing the gap with Ed now that it's got good exposure on Hot Hits :cheer: Stream and buy Cold Heart!! #DownWithEd

 

It will be a positive sign if it starts closing the gap this week.

 

I don’t know if we should dare to hope it could grab the #1 over the next couple of weeks.

5.3k last week and 5.7k this week

CKay is going to be a big hit.

5.3k last week and 5.7k this week

 

Thanks. Don’t know why I had it in my head it was around 8k last monday.

 

 

Absolutely thrilled NAO’s stunning new album is in at #16 so far. I know it will probably drop throughout the week but her 2nd album ‘Saturn’ only managed #56 and it definitely felt like it had more promo/hype than this record. Would be so happy with a top 40 debut.

It would be nice if Dermot Kennedy can hold on to the Top 30, for now im just happy that its at least gone top 40 but the higher it can climb the better.

Great to see Public Service Broadcasting at #2, and with decent sales meaning that they are likely to hold on to that position by the end of the week. The band have been encouraging their fans to buy the album in week 1, although have not gone down the usual "discount everything to £4.99 route" so far to stay there, and given they're signed to a minor label, I can't see them doing that. What were the 1st week sales of their previous albums like? I have it in my head that "Every Valley" got to 5 figures, but not 100% on that.

It did indeed, it sold 11,979 copies on its first week. Not sure they'll beat that figure this time but should get a higher chart position than the #4 they got then.

Yes, that's right, the Shouse song has finally got a manual reset!

That’s a bit late for Shouse given it probably peaked a couple of weeks ago!

 

Wow at My Universe going back up to #2 - guess there’s been a physical sales push.

 

Also Shivers’ numbers have suddenly surged - looks like it could genuinely beat Bad Habits finally.

Oh my! Bad update for Cold Heart :( Ed doubling his lead and I guess BTS bots are doing webstore mass buying?

Finally Shouse gets that reset but it really should have been done weeks ago!

Bit pointless manually resetting Love Tonight.

 

BTS army in full swing still no match for the Ed Sheeran campaign to dominate the charts til the end of time though.

 

 

So it's the non-Guetta remix version charting? That's interesting as it sounds the more commercial. Either way it's getting it's deserved top 40 appearance.
