Posted June 5, 200718 yr New entries set to flood albums chart 05 June 2007 - 12:44:27 Source: Music Week http://www.planet.nl/upload_mm/0/1/9/1950689304_1999996021_rihanna1.jpg Newly-issued sets from Biffy Clyro (pictured), Rihanna and The Twang are battling it out to top the UK albums chart in the busiest week of the year so far for new releases. 14th Floor Recordings act Biffy Clyro’s Puzzle, Def Jam/Mercury’s Rihanna with Good Girl Gone Bad and B Unique/Polydor’s The Twang with Love It When I Feel Like This are expected to make up the top three of the albums chart this coming Sunday but, with fewer than 2,000 sales separating them, it is too early to call the order they are expected to finish in. Likely to be joining them in the top five is Memory Almost Full, the first official Paul McCartney album to be released in the UK away from EMI. Issued on the Starbucks-affiliated Hearmusic label through Mercury Records in the UK, the album looks on course to become his highest-charting new studio set in the UK since Flaming Pie reached number two in 1997. Four other newly-released albums are also vying for places in the Top 10: Interscope/Polydor’s Marilyn Manson with Eat Me Drink Me, Xl-signed Dizzee Rascal’s Maths & English, 4th & Broadway/Island’s Mutya Buena’s debut solo album Real Girl and Roadrunner act Dream Theater with Systematic Chaos. Meanwhile, Maroon 5’s Universal debut It Won’t Be Soon Before Long is facing the possibility of losing its top five status on Sunday. Several other new albums are also pushing for Top 40 places, including new releases by Columbia’s Bruce Springsteen and UMTV’s Hank Marvin and the return of Virgin’s Genesis retrospective Turn It On Again – The Hits, which has been re-promoted to tie in with the band’s reunion tour. As she looks to top the albums chart with her second album, Rihanna is looking a solid bet to make it a fourth week at number one on the singles chart with her Jay-Z collaboration Umbrella. The Def Jam/Mercury release, however, faces competition from Sony BMG’s Calvin Harris whose The Girls is expected to make a significant climb from its number nine debut last Sunday. Elsewhere there is expected to be little movement in the Top 10, although Reverend & The Makers’ Wall of Sound single Heavyweight Champion Of The World is anticipated to climb into the Top 10 from its current position of 12. There are expected to be no new entries in the Top 10 with the chart’s predicted highest arrivals, Interscope/Polydor’s Queens Of The Stone Age, likely to fall several places short with 3’s & 7’s. ========================================= Singles 01 Rihanna feat.

June 5, 200718 yr I'm sure it's almost certain that Rihanna will hold onto No.1 Calvin should be No.2 with either B&S, Mutya or even HelloGoodbye at No.3, hopefully B&S!! Hopefully Kelly Rowland can manage the top 40 on downloads by the end of the week Thought Kelly Clarkson would chart this weekend but it doesn't seem to have been released onto iTunes yet? :wacko:

Kelly Rowland is only #50 on iTunes atm :unsure:
June 5, 200718 yr I'm thinking: 5 - HelloGoodbye 4 - Mutya 3 - Beyonce 2 - Calvin Harris 1 - Rihanna (only in singles chart, cant see her gettin top of the albums) But Calvin im not sure about, it will definetly be top 5 but could he get top 3, umm not sure but Corenell and UnkleJam better be top 40 or else!!!! Twang should be number 1 in the albums, macca top 5, rihanna and mutya top 10!!
June 5, 200718 yr How did Biffy Clyro get it? :unsure: Rihanna will get it by the end of the week I think and hope
June 5, 200718 yr I reckon Rihanna will be number 1 album by the end of the week. Also Dizzee Top 10 :o
June 5, 200718 yr Thanks mikey With the way Rihanna's single is selling i thought her album would be way out in front sales wise.
June 5, 200718 yr I'm surprised that Paul Mccartney's album is as high as Top 5. It's released on a label run by Starbucks. But Starbucks stores (533 of them) aren't registered with OCC so I guess the sales won't count. He might sell well enough on the usual outlets to do ok though!
