Posted February 7, 200719 yr Bloc Party ahead in mid-week album tussle 06 February 2007 - 16:44:32 Its all-out war in the mid-week album charts, with Bloc Party currently topping the pile with second album A Weekend In The City (Wichita), just ahead of Mika’s Life In Cartoon Motion (Island). Despite the early lead, Mika is likely to sell steadily throughout the week and as opposed to the East London quartet, who are likely to sell more strongly at the beginning of the week. In the singles chart, Mika continues his massive lead at the top, outselling Fall Out Boy by a margin of nearly three to one. This should give him his fourth reign at the top on Sunday, although sales are already beginning to dip with the release of his album. There are only four new entries in this week’s Top 75 singles, the highest being Kaiser Chiefs’ Ruby (download only at the moment) at 33. The Long Blondes enter three places below it. The Fray are currently up five places with their American smash How To Save A Life moving 10-5, while Sophie Ellis Bextor moves 28-14 with dancefloor hit Catch You. Nelly Furtado climbs 20 places to 17 with Say It Right, the fourth single from her Loose album. Other notable entries in the albums chart include Cold War Kids at 25 with Robbers And Cowards, The Hours’ Narcissus Road at 36 and Bowling For Soup’s The Great Burrito Extortion Case at 44.

February 9, 200719 yr Kaisers are now #1 on iTunes so I'm thinking they should be top three on Sunday and #1 next week :cheer:
February 9, 200719 yr So, 2 Pac will be outside the top 20 :cry: Maybe the song enters the top 40 <_< xox.

February 10, 200719 yr Top 75 Duke Spirit - Freewheel Seelenluft Damien Rice - Rootless Tree Lily Allen - Alfie Arthur Russell ================================== Duke Spirit only just top 75 !!!! is he too weird looking or something to break into the 40? Albums Top 30 24 Cold War Kids Top 40 36 The Hours good to see that some people out there have taken notice of the critics' reviews
February 11, 200719 yr Author Jessica Simpsons at #18, right? right. Shw will drop today, around 24 -27 :P
February 11, 200719 yr Personally I think the way Lily Allen seems to be shooting up the I-Tunes chart that she actually won't be too far way from the top 40 today, that's just a prediction though. :lol:
February 11, 200719 yr QUOTE(Parental Advisory @ Feb 11 2007, 11:51 AM) Jessica Simpsons at #18, right? right. Shw will drop today, around 24 -27 Serves her right for doing no promo, what about Ashley Tisdale Kiss The GirL?
