Posted January 31, 20232 yr Planning to post these monthly again. Positions for both singles and albums will come from the brilliant UKChartsPlus. Albums sales estimates are from vidcapper at Havenforum, and singles sales estimates will be my own. I’m actually planning to do the first singles one next week but here is the albums update for the first four weeks of the year. As usual totals are post 94 only. Happy to answer any queries regarding where an album is in the 41-100 region. 1 1 39,200 456,000 Taylor Swift Midnights 03/11/22 1 2 2 34,600 75,600 SZA SOS 22/12/22 2 3 3 31,800 471,600 Weeknd Highlights 18/02/21 3 4 5 23,200 888,600 Ed Sheeran = 11/11/21 4 5 7 21,800 2,803,400 Eminem Curtain Call - Greatest Hits 10/12/05 6 6 4 21,000 291,600 Courteeners St Jude 19/04/08 1 7 6 20,800 481,400 Harry Styles Harry's House 02/06/22 5 8 8 20,200 1,102,600 Elton John Diamonds 23/11/17 6 9 9 18,400 1,668,600 Arctic Monkeys AM 21/09/13 8 10 12 17,400 1,438,000 Lewis Capaldi Divinely Uninspired To A Hellish Extent 30/05/19 9 11 10 17,400 928,600 Fleetwood Mac 50 Years: Don't Stop 29/11/18 9 12 11 17,200 5,440,200 Abba Gold - Greatest Hits 03/10/92 10 13 13 15,200 45,600 Metro Boomin Heroes & Villains 15/12/22 12 14 16 15,200 2,667,800 Queen Greatest Hits 07/11/81 13 15 15 15,000 257,400 Whitney Houston I Will Always Love You : Best Of 01/12/12 13 16 18 14,400 1,578,200 Oasis Time Flies : 1994-2009 26/06/10 17 17 17 14,000 634,000 Olivia Rodrigo Sour 03/06/21 16 18 20 13,800 91,600 The 1975 Being Funny In A Foreign Language 27/10/22 16 19 14 13,600 53,400 Sam Ryder There's Nothing But Space, Man! 22/12/22 7 20 21 13,600 4,028,400 Ed Sheeran ÷ 16/03/17 18 21 28 13,000 13,000 Clavish Rap Game Awful 26/01/23 4 22 19 13,000 2,167,800 Fleetwood Mac Rumours 26/02/77 12 23 22 13,000 298,400 Little Mix Between Us 25/11/21 20 24 23 12,800 2,087,200 Elvis Presley Elv1S 30 #1 Hits 05/10/02 20 25 N 12,200 12,200 The Reytons What's Rock and Roll? 02/02/23 1 26 25 12,200 79,600 Eminem Curtain Call 2 18/08/22 23 27 24 12,200 92,800 Drake and 21 Savage Her Loss 17/11/22 21 28 26 12,200 1,553,600 Taylor Swift 1989 08/11/14 24 29 27 11,800 420,800 Taylor Swift Folklore 06/08/20 22 30 29 11,200 550,000 Weeknd Starboy 08/12/16 27 31 31 11,200 4,974,400 Oasis (What's The Story) Morning Glory? 14/10/95 28 32 30 11,000 3,091,800 Michael Jackson Number Ones 29/11/03 27 33 32 10,800 716,000 Harry Styles Fine Line 20/12/19 29 34 33 10,200 252,800 Sam Fender Seventeen Going Under 21/10/21 26 35 36 10,000 167,200 George Ezra Gold Rush Kid 23/06/22 28 36 34 9,800 70,800 D-Block Europe Lap 5 06/10/22 34 37 35 9,800 444,800 Taylor Swift Lover 05/09/19 35 38 38 9,600 2,189,000 Arctic Monkeys Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not 04/02/06 36 39 40 9,400 806,800 David Bowie Legacy 24/11/16 35 40 42 9,200 36,600 Ella Henderson Everything I Didn'T Say 24/03/22 38

January 31, 20232 yr Not long now until Mr Brightside clears 5m chart sales - how long do you think before it becomes the all time biggest “seller”?
January 31, 20232 yr Author Not long now until Mr Brightside clears 5m chart sales - how long do you think before it becomes the all time biggest “seller”? Maybe 5 years or so? It’s a million or so behind Shape Of You and outselling it by a couple of hundred k per year.
January 31, 20232 yr I'm surprised Shivers is only 2,000 behind Bad Habits for this year so far. Has Shivers recently gone viral? Or is it going to end up ahead of Bad Habits in the future?
January 31, 20232 yr Author I'm surprised Shivers is only 2,000 behind Bad Habits for this year so far. Has Shivers recently gone viral? Or is it going to end up ahead of Bad Habits in the future? No special boost as far as I’m aware - think Shivers is genuinely having really good longevity. On a similar note I’m mightily impressed that Save Your Tears is still out-streaming the monster that is Blinding Lights.
January 31, 20232 yr Happy to answer any queries regarding where an album is in the 41-100 region. Beatles 1 please. Position and YTD sales.
February 1, 20232 yr Author Beatles 1 please. Position and YTD sales. #44 - I don't have album sales but must be around 9k
February 1, 20232 yr I know there are still 11 months ,eft in the year but Miley is going to build herself quite a Sad by the end of the first quarter of this year.
February 1, 20232 yr I've noticed Shivers has been marginally ahead of Bad Habits for a while now in all 3 platforms, Spotify, Amazon and Apple particularly Amazon
February 1, 20232 yr I'm fairly confident we'll see Raye and Miley in the year end Top 10 - maybe even Top 2 for Miley!!
February 1, 20232 yr Author Which date is was the first tracking week for the sales figures? The chart revealed on 6 Jan (week ending 12 Jan)
February 1, 20232 yr Based on the sales archives total, for 10th and 11th JulianT suggests Rema and Meghan Trainor both did 104,000 sales, By looking at the sales figures, My calculations shows Rema on 103,952 and Meghan Trainor 103,717 in order to break the tie for 10th
February 1, 20232 yr I wonder if Bad Habits will pass the 3m sales mark this week? Edited February 1, 20232 yr by adrianreavill83
February 1, 20232 yr I'm fairly confident we'll see Raye and Miley in the year end Top 10 - maybe even Top 2 for Miley!! Unless we get a massive hit later in the year, I feel that Miley is almost locked for #1 in the year end chart. She'll likely get a boost album release week as well so can see her on 800k-1 million by the end of March.
February 1, 20232 yr I feel it's likely, the song feels as big as 'As It Was' and it's coming even earlier in the year than that was.
