Posted June 12, 200718 yr White Stripes head for top? 12 June 2007 - 10:34:59 Source: Music Week Detroit’s The White Stripes are currently atop the singles chart with Icky Thump (XL), according to early sales reports, but they face strong competition to maintain pole position on Sunday from Rihanna. The Rihanna featuring Jay-Z single Umbrella (Def Jam) has shifted only a thousand less units than The White Stripes, and has been at number one since its entry into the charts four weeks ago. Marillion’s Thankyou Whoever You Are (Intact) looks set to become the week’s highest new entry, with Koopa (Juxtaposition), Erasure (Mute) and Kelly Clarkson (RCA) all likely to hit the Top 20. So far the highest climber looks likely to be Maximo Park’s Books From Boxes (Warp), climbing from 116 to number eight. There’s more movement on the album charts again this week. Four new entries are set for the Top Five, which, come Sunday, is likely to be populated by an army of ageing rockers. The Travelling Wilburys Collection (Rhino) is sitting on number one, closely followed by Bon Jovi’s Lost Highway (Mercury). Both releases have sold 10,000-plus more copies than third place Queens Of The Stone Age’s Era Vulgaris (Interscope). Biffy Clyro’s Puzzle (14th Floor) could slip out of the Top 10 this week from its number two position. ========================================== Singles 1 White Stripes - Icky Thump 2 Rhianna - Umbrella 3 Enrique - Do You Know Top 5 Marillion - Thanks Whoever You Are Top 10 Kelly Rowland feat.

June 12, 200718 yr Doesn't that Lee chap from the Joseph thing have a children in Need charity download of him singing his theme tune? If so, that'll be number one.
June 12, 200718 yr Rihanna still at 1 Enrique will climb to 2 and Lee from Any dream will do is gonna be top 20 :P
June 12, 200718 yr Doesn't that Lee chap from the Joseph thing have a children in Need charity download of him singing his theme tune? If so, that'll be number one. Eeek, if he does, then it could do well. I think Rihanna will habg on though at the top.
June 12, 200718 yr Author Doesn't that Lee chap from the Joseph thing have a children in Need charity download of him singing his theme tune? If so, that'll be number one. It's available to download from today, its physically released next Monday, so he has no chance really.
June 12, 200718 yr I dunno, Rihanna's been around for ages now and the power of Saturday night audiences / charity is immense. If one of the tabloids starts a 'campaign' then he could sell enough in one day to hit the top spot. Not that I want him to you understand!
June 12, 200718 yr Even if he only sells a tenth of what Leona did it'd still be enough for number 2, number 3 at worst...
June 12, 200718 yr I think Kelly C will manage something like #6 or #7 by the end of the week. I'm hoping Kelly R can make it into the top 5! :D
June 12, 200718 yr My predictions for the singles: 1. Rihanna 2. Enrique 3. Kelly Clarkson (by the end of the week, maybe today not yet) 4. Mutya 5. Calvin

If one of the tabloids starts a 'campaign' then he could sell enough in one day to hit the top spot. Not that I want him to you understand! To be honest I prefer Rihanna at #1 than Lee, but at a push he might have to settle for Top 5, unless Rihanna's sales dip dramatically this week.
June 12, 200718 yr I reckon : 1 (1) Rhianna 2 (9) Enrique 3 (13) White Stripes 4 (2) Mutya 5 (18) Kelly Rowland Kelly C will be around #7 i reckon with the Joseph song around #16.
June 12, 200718 yr i think top 5 will go like this, by sunday: 5 - White Stripes 4 - Mutya Buena 3 - Kelly Rowland 2 - Enrique Iglesias 1 - Rihanna think kelly clarkson will climb next week, probs between 10 and 7 this week!!!! And id love richard grey to get top 40 but with no promo/airplay, i can only see top 60 at best <_< albums will be boring, so rihanna for week 2 <_< <_< <_< <_<
June 12, 200718 yr Early prediction - 1 - Rihanna 2 - Enrique 3 - Kelly R 4 - Mutya 5 - White Stripes 6 - Calvin 7 - Kelly C
June 12, 200718 yr I don't think Rihanna will be number one in the albums as it's fathers day this week. The Police may do it...
June 12, 200718 yr Singles mids thanks to Simonguine at chc` media Top 3 1 White Stripes - Icky Thump 2 Rhianna - Umbrella 3 Enrique - Do You Know Top 5 Marillion - Thanks Whoever You Are Top 10 Maximo Park - Books From Boxes Top 20 Koopa - One Off Hit For The Summer Erasure - Sunday Girl Kelly Clarkson - Never Again Top 30 Rumble Strips - Motorcycle Top 40 The Gossip - Listen Up The Holloways - Generator (appears twice ) Edited June 12, 200718 yr by RabbitFurCoat
June 12, 200718 yr Thats wishful thinking by someone, those mids cant be true. White Stripes are only 4 on itunes and half as popular as Rihanna so they would have to be literally outselling her 2:1 on physicals!

White Stripes are only 4 on itunes and half as popular as Rihanna so they would have to be literally outselling her 2:1 on physicals! They're an indie/rock band. And like all other indie/rock bands that haven't sold themselves to mainstream radio they sell MUCH better on physicals. I think they are quite believable!
