Posted October 30, 200718 yr Eagles taking Long Road to number one Tuesday October 30, 2007 Source: MW By Paul Williams The top end of the UK artist albums chart will have a Seventies feel to it this weekend, as The Eagles take on Led Zeppelin frontman Robert Plant for the number one spot. The American band’s first studio album since 1979’s The Long Run is currently outselling Plant’s Rounder-issued Alison Krauss collaboration Raising Sand by more than two copies to one. If the Eagles album Long Road Out Of Eden, which is released by Polydor, does make it to number one by the end of the chart week, it will be their first-ever UK chart-topper, beating the number two peaks of the albums Hotel California and Their Greatest Hits 1971-1975. In what could be a top three exclusively made up of new entries, the RCA Label Group’s new Britney Spears album Blackout is also set for a high new entry this Sunday as is the same company’s new Whitney Houston retrospective The Ultimate Collection. A fifth album is also poised to debut in the Top 10 with Rosette’s Daniel O’Donnell adding to his tally of hit albums, this time in collaboration with Mary Duff on Together Again. The high tally of big new albums also includes new sets from RCA Label Group’s Backstreet Boys, Warner Bros’s Avenged Sevenfold and a new Parlophone live Queen album. A first Libertines retrospective, Time For Heroes: The Best Of, will deliver Rough Trade a Top 40 entry. On the singles chart, Syco/RCA Label Group’s Leona Lewis is predictably unable to match last week’s 66,000 opening day of her single Bleeding Love, but it still produces a very solid tally of nearly 47,000 units to set up a commanding lead over nearest challenger Rule The World by Polydor’s Take That. The chart’s pop flavour continues with S/RCA Label Group’s Westlife. However, they will have to settle for a top-three debut with new single Home rather than it giving the seasoned boy band a 15th number one. This week’s Sony BMG Elvis Presley re-issue Viva Las Vegas will be among the chart’s other new entries this Sunday when Koopa are likely to score their highest-charting hit to date with third single Crash. Released on their own Juxtaposition label, it is currently at 12 in the midweeks. ============================================= Full Update Singles 01 Leona Lewis - Bleeding Love 47K 02 Take That - Rule The World 19k 03 Westlife - Home 12k Top 5 Timbaland Presents.

October 30, 200718 yr The Eagles should be at No 1 with their album. As for the singles, I reckon Pestlife might just sneak No 2....
October 30, 200718 yr Celine won't be new on physicals...the CD single is not coming out anymore and the download was only released late yesterday so has some catching up to do I wouldn't be surprised if Westlife get No.2 with Home...it would be nice if Robyn could go top 20 but I'm thinking around #22/#23 for Handle Me
October 30, 200718 yr I reckon it will be 1. Leona 2. Take That 3. Westlife 4. Timberland 5. Cliff Richard But if Leona and Take That have quite low sales or Westlife are very near them, then the end of the week i think may look like this 1. Westlife 2. Leona 3. Cliff Richard 4. Take That 5. Timberland I've put Cliff high, cos though i don't like him myself - i'm not underestimating his fan base Edited October 30, 200718 yr by Knightr634
October 30, 200718 yr Author I can't see Cliff that high to be honest, firstly its a cover, and secondly hardly any promo
October 30, 200718 yr Top two will probably stay the same but I'm buying One Republic/Hay Hay today and I'm hoping that's at no3, could Westlife actually have a very modest hit for a change? :unsure: Britney will probably be no1 in the album chart, how lucky for her that she's out this week before the rush. :cool: Miracle of the year, McFly to stay in the top 10. :D
October 30, 200718 yr I know what u mean - but i remember when that dreadful Santa's List (I think it was called that) from Cliff came out and it reached #4. And to be honest his new song is a million times better then that!
October 30, 200718 yr It would be a miracle if McFly are still top 10. Granted they've done a decent song for a change, but even so...
October 30, 200718 yr Author Top 3 in the singles are Leona #1, TT#2, West Life #3 oops ouch for Britney #3, Eagles are #1 Give me a mo, while I sort everything out, please do not ask too many questions all at once
October 30, 200718 yr I really though Britney would be #1! Oh dear! So did I but the Eagles ads are everywhere, I'm wanting to know where McFly are. :w00t:
October 30, 200718 yr McFly have fallen 7 places, just holding on inside the top 10 Cheers Mikey the miracle is slowly fading then? just like the summer wind, which is a beautiful song by Frank Sinatra, just thought I'd mention it. :wacko:
October 30, 200718 yr Sugababes still 4 :lol: thats great. ^_^ Any news on where Change is the album. Also where abouts are Freemasons please :D
