Breakdown of the week

- Saturday: Some information may be posted on social media but it is likely to be missing most streaming data and is unrepresentative.

- Sunday: Official First Look Chart on Radio 1 from 6-7pm. Please do not post spoilers on the forum in advance as this ruins the countdown for any listeners.

- Monday: OCC Top 100 from 5:45pm

- Tuesday: Top 40 update as and when we receive them with requests, this is NOT 100% guaranteed however. The OCC may publish sales flashes of their own accord but likewise, this is not guaranteed. Twitter and social media is your friend for today. Please post any information you find with a source. Do not nag for updates, we will post a top 40 update if we receive one.

- Wednesday: Top 40 update from Music Week from 5:45, and potential top 5 sales but this is not guaranteed.

- Thursday: See Tuesday.

Other notes (please read)

- You may make requests Tuesday to Thursday but outside the top 40, specific positions will not be revealed (unless deemed necessary by a mod).

- Please do not demand a midweek update, one will be posted as and when we receive the information. Patience is a virtue.

- Sales information will be given out as deemed necessary by a moderator, please bear this in mind when making requests. Most requests for sales will be ignored. Any chart requests between No. 41 to 100 will not be answered after Monday's update.

- To keep everyone in the loop of all chart action, please refer to the iTunes and Spotify threads.

Hoping 1967-1970 and 1962-1966 both get new peaks, at #1 and #2 respectively! I'm fairly sure either album would have the most weeks on chart and longest time since release on first reaching #1.

November 11, 20232 yr

Hope we get a Wednesday sales report this week.

If the cassette sales and the 12 inch sales were not included last week there is a possibility that Now And Then could remain at no. 1. It is at present no. 1 on iTunes, You Tube and Amazon (and also at no. 2, with sales of 1,000 from Friday).

On the album chart I expect the Blue album to be no. 1.

November 11, 20232 yr

^ I read that post from the bottom upwards and for a second I was very confused because I didn't think Blue had a new album out :unsure:

November 12, 20232 yr

Hope we get a Wednesday sales report this week.

If the cassette sales and the 12 inch sales were not included last week there is a possibility that Now And Then could remain at no. 1. It is at present no. 1 on iTunes, You Tube and Amazon (and also at no. 2, with sales of 1,000 from Friday).

Those sales just aren't being counted at all because they have a limit of 3 physical formats for singles for some reason. (They certainly wouldn't be counting to this week in any case).

Would be good to see '1967-1970' finally reach #1 this week (assuming it'll be the more popular of the two as it usually is), just checked what held it off before, it spent 3 weeks at #2 behind David Bowie's 'Aladdin Sane', fair enough! Could have been 2 weeks in a row of the record for longest time between release and hitting #1 being broken if only Oasis had held on last week...
