Posted April 15, 200818 yr The Kooks fend off Mariah at top of albums chart 17:11 | Tuesday April 15, 2008 Source: MW By Ben Cardew The Kooks look on course to edge out Mariah Carey at the top of the albums charts, with their second album, Konk (Virgin), outselling Carey’s E=MC² (Def Jam) by almost two to one on its first day of sale. Meanwhile, Elliot Minor’s eponymous debut album (Warner Bros) is set for a top five entry and Sarah Brightman’s new album Symphony (Angel) is on course to enter the top twenty. On the singles chart, Estelle’s American Boy (Atlantic) looks likely to spend a fifth week at number one, despite competition from Madonna’s 4 Minutes (Warner Bros). Both Usher’s Love In This Club (LaFace) and the Last Shadow Puppets’ The Age Of The Understatement (Domino) are on course to enter the top 10. Singles 1 Estelle feat.

April 15, 200818 yr Your VERY early this morning Martin! :) Hopefully Madge for number one - Doubt it though and Mimi top three on the albums!
April 15, 200818 yr Is mention of American charts (Billboard) considered 'off-topic' ? If not then do you have access to any info supporting a rumour I've just heard that Leona will likely do the double this week, topping Singles and album charts ? Please.

If not then do you have access to any info supporting a rumour I've just heard that Leona will likely do the double this week, topping Singles and album charts ? Please. She's extremely likely to do the double. She's got about a 40 point lead in the Hot 100 based on my early calculations, and the album's a dead cert - with 61% of album sales from across the US in already, here's how its looking: 1 LEONA LEWIS J RECORDS/RMG 150,405 SPIRIT 2 JAMES OTTO WARNER BROS. NASHVILLE 42,060 SUNSET MAN She's looking at shifting upwards of 200k based on that - potentially as high as 250k :yahoo:
April 15, 200818 yr i'm hoping queen madonna either climbs or stays where she is, please don't fall! I'm predicting Mariah will get to #2 (although im hoping #1) :yahoo: I hope Britney reachs top 10. Her track has really grown on me. The video doesn't seem to have recieved as much airplay as Piece of Me did though, that might affect it's position :( Estelle to stay at #1 for her final week - it'll be madonna next week (maybe she'll continue the 5 week trend :w00t: ) Edited April 15, 200818 yr by Glyn
April 15, 200818 yr I think Madonna will be #1 later this week if she isn't today. Estelle is going to be a four week #1 in my opinion. I hope Mariah can make #1 in the album chart.
April 15, 200818 yr Tuesday MW Top 40 mids - no sales info Singles 1 Estelle 2 Madonna 3 Sam Sparro 4 September 5 Flo-Rida Top 10 Usher Last Shadow Puppets Top 15 Scouting For Girls Top 20 Britney Spears Goldfrapp Top 30 will.i.am Sugababes Top 40 Cahill Kanye West Kelly Rowland Albums 1 Kooks 2 Mariah Carey 3 Duffy 4 Elliot Minor 5 Leona Lewis Top 10 Scouting For Girls Top 20 Sarah Brightman Children Of Bodom Top 30 Blood Red Shoes Cascada B-52s Top 40 Jack Johnson Britney Spears Rush
April 15, 200818 yr I bet Estelle and Madonna are close. :o It's great that Mariah is #2, I hope she climbs. ^_^ Disappointing position for Britney. Last Shadow Puppets must be doing really well physically. Ooh wow Goldfrapp is high, I thought it would flop, it hadn't made much of an impact when I last checked iTunes.

Last Shadow Puppets must be doing really well physically. Ooh wow Goldfrapp is high, I thought it would flop, it hadn't made much of an impact when I last checked iTunes. Britney's tracklisting is very poor...I would have bought the physical if she had released a remixes cd.
April 15, 200818 yr No Kylie in either Top 40. When we get Top 200s we will give you the info. Britney's single isn't in Woolworths (for the first time in her career). It looks like the album is benefiting rather than the single.
April 15, 200818 yr bad for Britney...could be her lowest peaking single ever :o I wish September and Estelle would swap places and then the top 4 would be perfect
April 15, 200818 yr Thanks Spiidey for the figures and thanks Gboy....... if it's in theSun it must be true. :heehee:
