What a stagnant chart me thinks! Madonna takes over at number one, by an inch. Outer fringes of the top 40 bring, GOLDFRAPP fighting for a top 30 place. SCOOTER are in the top 40 just! Further down our top 50, JORDIN SPARKS/CHRIS BROWN, FALL OUT BOY.....NELLY and ADELE are on the edge. There are also other entries on download alone for THE FEELING, and JAY SEAN in and around the top 100. No sign of JACK JOHNSON or KEYSHA COLE/MISSY ELLIOT (is that the same song as Brit and Alex????????)

 

What did we come up with 7 years ago, in 2001?

On Easter Monday 16th April 2001, to be exact!

01 ne lovin` each day - ronan keating

02 ne survivoor - destiny`s child

03 05 it wasn`t me - shaggy

04 04 what took you so long - emma bunton

05 01 all for you - janet jackson

11 08 clint eastwood - gorillaz

12 07 butterfly - crazy town

13 09 whole again - atomic kitten

28 26 i wanna be u - chocolate puma

29 17 sal sol nugget - m & s presents girl next door

30 19 how ya like bass - norman bass

 

The gang got 28 in the 30 in 2001, and 10 in the 10, all in the wrong order, and no` 1 and 2 back to front! It seems like only yesterday! And an early hit for Sugababes, that only got to 13, in the Official chart. Singles were selling well, in 2001 with SHAGGY on 941,000 at this point, HEARSAY on 916,000, ATOMIC KITTEN on 790,000.

 

Although in 2008 last week, we had the top 4 singles totally correct! 7 in the 10, and 29 in the 30, again the wrong order for some! It was the late arrival for September, that knock `em out.

In the combined album chart last week, 28 in the 30, and CLUBLAND CLASSIX, and NOW 69 were the wrong way around for us! Compilations, and those Various Artists are doing absolutely brilliantly now, even outselling Duffy, Rolling Stones, and R.E.M.

 

I will be back mid-week, for the top 40 without downloads only. Trevs, will hit the deck with the mrib charts on Fri (late). So, chin up and cheers for reading (or in Trevs case, cheers for Reading!)

You think Mariah will be number 2 behind the Kooks? :rofl:
Elliot Minor's album will get MUCH higher than No.28...they have loads of teeny bopper fans and are doing signings all week...No.6-No.15 is a certainty

18 without Compilations dear! :w00t: Thing is if it enters so high as top ten, it won`t stay there long, and will be out sold by the Compilations (with 4 in the top 10, apparently)

I think it will be a close call between Madonna and Estelle but Estelle will remain at the top because of the physicals imo.

 

But it's every time interesting to read your predictions.

What the boys do is beef up the sales, for a Sunday prediction of pre-orders (from HMV) if a song is available to download without, a physical release. The albums feature pre-orders too, to push both charts to be ahead of even the following Sunday`s chart. In the case of some entries, such as James last week, who dropped from midweek position of no`6 to no`10 artist album, by Sunday. In that case, if a downfall is foreseen, sales are scoped.

 

The case of Elliot Minor being the same. Last week the boys got Elliot`s single position exactly of no`22!

Thanks Dave for the explanation :thumbup:

yep, my mistake :kink: I suppose it could go as low as No.18...I still see low top ten for it, perhaps No.14/15 in the combined chart :P

Also Ben on physicals, Estelle has been beaten to number one, by Mariah recently. So her (Estelle`s) physicals are tailing off now.

Do someone know if there is a posibility to Mariah to be #1 or #2?? I Though she were going to be #10 or so... xD

The album will certainly be in the top 2.

 

The single although peaking at no`5 officially yesterday, was number one, on a pure physical sales chart, which didn`t include downloads of course.

To be honest I'm not expecting Madonna to be #1 this week, maybe next week.

I also think so, Ben! Duffy will be Nr. 3 :P

No, it wasn't. It peaked at Nr.2 on the physical singles chart (behind Estelle)!

Yes, just checked back the Sales archive. Mariah was second behind Estelle on physicals:

 

Extra sales information from imedias.biz:

 

...

Beautiful week also for Mariah Carey, which offers its larger hit since "We Belong Together" three years ago with "Touch My Body", of which the simultaneous exit into digital and physics the catapult in sixth place. If, as in France, the English charts included only the physical sales, Mariah Carey would be number 2 with 7 252 sales, behind the 7 860 of Estelle.

 

Physical Only Sales:

 

01 Estelle 7,860

02 Mariah Carey 7,252
