Early retail reports suggest very little movement at the top of the singles chart this week as strong sales look to keep Leona Lewis (Syco) in the number one position for another week. One new entry is expected however in the shape of Call The Shots (Fascination) by Girls Aloud. The latest Xenomania penned release entered the top ten at number nine last week and buoyed by additional physical formats is expected to climb further up the chart this week.

 

Early sales suggest the next single in Sony BMG’s Elvis campaign could deliver similar chart success to its predecessors and enter the top ten next week however elsewhere the chart remains pretty stable with the only other release attracting any considerable sales activity. Editors new single, entitled The Racing Rats (Kitchenware) and released on the Kitchenware label via Sony BMG’s Columbia arm, is currently available on limited edition coloured vinyl and two disc-CD single and early sales look set to take it into the top thirty next week.

 

Elsewhere The Twang’s last single of the year, Push The Ghosts (B-Unique) is failing to connect despite multiple formats in the market. It looks unlikely to enter the top forty next week.

 

As is tradition this time of year the album market is making up for any lulls amongst singles.

 

Strong sales for Shayne Ward’s sophomore album (Syco) look set to contribute to another big week for the Syco label. Early reports Ward’s new album is set to provide the greatest challenge yet to Leona Lewis’ stronghold at the top of the chart, even outselling Kylie at this early stage which is sure to come as a disappointment to EMI.

 

Kylie’s tenth studio album, X (Parlophone), was the subject of a primetime television special over the weekend however the exposure has not been enough to give Minogue the edge she needed at retail. With weekend sales ahead of her however EMI could turn it around to secure at least second place.

 

Elsewhere the top end of the chart is looking fairly steady with just two new entries – both from the UCJ label - expected to crack the top twenty. Russell Watson is enjoying healthy sales with his new studio album, Outside In (UCJ) while the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards are expected to follow closely behind him with Spirit Of The Glen (UCJ).

 

Michael Buble is enjoying a boost in physical sales and is expected to make a significant jump north next week with the special edition of Call Me Irresponsible (Reprise). Repackages are also helping Syco artist Paul Potts to maintain a retail presence as the Christmas edition of his debut album One Chance (Syco)starts to gather pace.

 

Veteran artists such as Led Zeppelin (Atlantic) and The Eagles (Polydor) are continuing to make good inroads at retail and looks set to hold onto a top ten placing next week as do the Spice Girls (Virgin) with the greatest hits collection.

Someone on popjustice is saying

Leona #1 1k ahead

girls aloud #2

Are Pendulum gonna be top 10? Wow! Probably slip a bit by the end of the week though.

 

Ok, will we see the first Christmas 'classics' filtering through now? I assume all the compilations are on iTunes now and there's less than a month to go.

Leona #1 1k ahead

girls aloud #2

 

If that's true GA could over take by the end of the week as Leona has Sunday sales.

God i don't think i can take it again this week if it's gonna be this close :w00t:
