Anyone else know what big albums are out next week? I can't think of many. I reckon the Monkeys might climb next week to #3.

On the artist album chart, The Arctic Monkeys three-week reign with Favourite Worst Nightmare comes to an end, with a 39.3% slip in its sales, to 23,950, forcing it to dip to number four behind a trio of new entries – but third placed Funeral For A Friend and runner-up Rufus Wainwright are simply bit part players to Linkin Park, whose Minutes To Midnight registers their best ever weekly sales tally of 94,501. It’s the first hard rock album to top the chart since last July, when both Lostprophets and Muse reached number one. Muse opened with an even higher first week sale of 115,144.

 

Sold okay again this week. :D The album's holding up quite well. I reckon it'll do another 15-19k again this week, and might even possibly climb. I just hope the album can still be in the Top15 by the time FA's airplay/tv exposure begins to happen. :D

Muse and Lostprophets are 'hard rock'? :wacko:

Blame Music Weekly. :lol: I think it's them just stating the difference in music between say Razorlight, The Killers and Arctic Monkeys compared to Muse and Lostprophets, even though, there really isn't that much difference. :lol:

Well they're hardly 'hard rock' but they're 'heavier' than the likes of Razorlight and Arctics which is what they're trying to get at.

 

Anyway Arctics have better sales than the mids were saying they would and Linkin Park must have sold over half their copies on Monday :o

That's what i'm glad at now as well. :cheer: I think they could possibly climb next week, but i'm not sure how high though. I mean has the total cume for FWN surpassed the original first week sales for WPSIATWIN? :unsure:

Updated. ^_^

 

There's about a 30k gap until the Kaisers, but they've got a 2nd single out at the moment. :P So hopefully the Arctics should over take them in due course. ^_^

I'm amazed at some people commenting on how 'poorly' this album has sold (not in this thread, but on Haven's chart thread in particular). Seems like there are a few people who are almost praying for them to crash and burn, which is a bit sad IMHO. This was never going to sell as many as the debut in the first few weeks but to be number 5 in the YTD album sales chart after 4 weeks would be classed as an amazing achievement for any other band, let alone an Indie one.

^thats what i m sayin.

AM are not oasis n they dont want to become a band like oasis (btw,i love oasis).

they are doing their own thing n so far everything is great (except not releasing Mardly Bum...)

Yep I know exactly what you mean. This album has sold BRILLIANTLY so far. Sure sales aren't as good as WPSIATWN, but I don't think many fans expected them to be. Thing is as well, they're on a small labell, unlike any of the acts around them, who have lots of money to be able to promote everything. After 1 single it's done 350k at a slow time of the year, so I think that it's done great so far. ^_^

I'm thinking the Monkeys sold about 16k this week looking at the Music Weekly report. ^_^

Updated. ^_^

 

Hopefully it will clear 400k this week! :D

VERY steep fall this week, but I guess that's down to the fact that Paul McCartney, Mutya, The Twang, Rihanna etc etc have all had new albums out this week. Still the promo is beginning to take it's toll for FA now, so hopefully the album shall climb! :D ^_^

yeah a lot of new entries that week

Glasto + FA release = big sales boost.
