Posted January 31, 200719 yr Mika on course for second week at number one Source: Music week Yesterday’s physical release of Grace Kelly should be sufficient to keep Mika atop the singles chart this week, according to retail reports. The Casablanca/Island-released single sold over 10,000 physical copies yesterday, more than enough to keep its nearest competitor, Fall Out Boy (Mercury) from the top spot. Bloc Party’s The Prayer (Wichita) also looks set to rise into the top three, with Fray’s How to Save A Life (Epic) climbing into the Top 10 almost a month before the single is given its physical release. Kasabian’s Me Plus One (Columbia) looks likely to be the highest new entry in the top 20, with other potential climbers coming from Kelis feat. Cee-Lo (Virgin), Nas feat. Will.i.am (Columbia) and Bowling For Soup (A&G Productions). Take That’s next single Shine, scheduled for physical release through Polydor on February 26, also looks likely to make an appearance in the Top 40 based on download sales. In the albums market, Klaxons’ debut Myths Of The Near Future (Rinse) is in contention for the number one spot alongside Jamie T’s Panic Prevention (Virgin), with The View’s Hats Off To The Buskers likely to drop to number three. Other possible new entries in the Top 10 will come from Norah Jones (Blue Note), Just Jack (Mercury), Madonna’s Confessions Tour live album (Warner Bros) and The Shins’ debut Wincing The Night Away (Transgressive). New albums from Little Man Tate (V2), Josh Groban (Reprise), Doris Day (Sony BMG), Clap Your Hands Say Yeah (Wichita), Alkaline Trio (Vagrant) and Eddie Reader (Rough Trade) all threaten to give the Top 75 a post-Christmas shake-up. ================================================================= Singles 01 Mika - Grace Kelly (21k) 02 Fall Out Boy - This Ain't A Scene, Its An Arms Race (8.8k) 03 Bloc Party - The Prayer (8.4k) Top 10 The Fray - How To Save A Life Top 20 Kasabian - Me Plus One **Physical** Top 25/40 Kelis feat.

February 1, 200719 yr Author How close are the top two albums looking right now? I ain't got a clue, Andy can proabably tell you, if you ask him nicely :P
February 1, 200719 yr Author Confessions Live is just 9k behind, should be at least Top 7, there is a 6k gap behind her
February 1, 200719 yr I think Norah will get the number 1 album She was 7k behind the #1 on tuesday and now she is just under 6k behind so she has not gained much ground, so I would say klaxons will get the #1 unless she has a sudden sales leap at the weekend :D
February 1, 200719 yr What number exactly is Kelis at? I really hope she re-releases her album and it's a success because it has some amazing tracks on there! :D
February 1, 200719 yr Author What number exactly is Kelis at? Up 17 places from last Sunday's chart position, I let you do the math :P
February 1, 200719 yr Up 17 places from last Sunday's chart position, I let you do the math :P Thanks :dance:
February 1, 200719 yr Nice jump for Norah on the albums... wonder if she will be able to close the gap and end the week at #1...
February 1, 200719 yr Not my favourite singles chart this week, it looks a bit rubbish But the albums are way more interesting this week, three way battle for number 1, would prefer Klaxons to be number one over norah, let some new talent get to the top!!
