Westlife heading back home to number one

Tuesday November 6, 2007

Westlife are on track for their seventh consecutive UK number one album with the newly-issued Back Home almost outselling its three nearest competitors combined.

 

Early retail reports indicate the Syco/Sony BMG album looks a certainty to replace The Eagles’ Polydor-issued comeback album Long Road Out Of Eden at number one this coming Sunday, while Island’s own pop act McFly are vying for a top-three place with new retrospective Greatest Hits.

 

The Wombats, who are signed to 14th Floor Recordings, are also challenging for a Top 10 entry with their debut album A Guide To Love Loss & Desperation, while UMTV are looking to make a similar arrival with the Boyz II Men album Motown Hitsville USA.

 

Another handful of albums are also poised to chart in or around the Top 40 this weekend, among them releases by EMI’s Sigur Ros, UCJ’s Blake, Geffen/Polydor’s Angels & Airwaves and Rock-A-Fella/Mercury-signed Jay-Z.

 

While Westlife are heading for number one on albums, lead-off track Home looks likely to drop down from its debut of three with both the Columbia-issued Valerie by Mark Ronson featuring Amy Winehouse and Interscope/Polydor’s Apologize by Timbaland with One Republic ready to overtake. Right at the top, Syco/Sony BMG is almost guaranteed to make it three weeks at number one with Bleeding Love by Leona Lewis with Polydor act Take That again the main challengers with Rule The World.

 

Singles by RCA’s Alicia Keys and Warner Bros-signed Craig David are both set to make double-digit jumps, which could send them simultaneously into the Top 10, while other notable climbers in the chart will include Columbia’s Celine Dion and Rock-A-Fella/Mercury’s Kanye West. New entries are expected to include Elvis Presley with latest Sony BMG re-issue In The Ghetto, Wet Wet Wet on their own Dry label and an Interscope/Polydor pairing of Nicole Scherzinger and Will.I.Am.

According to SayHey

 

Kylie is #64

Spice Girls #124

 

she'll defintley be the year's biggest seller by the end of the week then. mark ronson is doing really well also!
Good sales for Leona again.

 

How does 42K for Westlife compare to the first day sales of their previous albums?

Above 50k last year, had 100k by Wednesday. However it was released two weeks later so nearer Xmas and was in the battle between Oasis, Beatles, U2 and George Micheal.

 

So it's doing well...

  • Author
how much had leona sold this time last week?

 

48k

 

If she gets around 115k this week, Leona will have the biggest selling single of the year. :D

The Spice Girls will have a huge climb in tomorrow's midweeks. It's at #11 now in HMV Downloads, #1 at 7Digital, and climbing very fast in iTunes, just added in Tesco an hour ago or so...

 

Top 10 for sure by sunday.
