Immaculate Collection Top 15 :yahoo: 33K in one day for Hard Candy is brilliant too :yahoo: Could IC and Confessions be charting due to the giveway at Tesco (buy Hard Candy and get either IC/Ray of Light/Music/Confessions free) because i didn't think records could chart if they were sold under a set amount

 

Yes - already posted that on Page 1. Albums count as long as the dealer price is above a certain amount. Tesco are buying them in at the dealer price and selling them for £0 (or £4.50 - whichever way you look at it). Therefore, they're making money on "HC" but losing money on the others. They're still scanned through the tills and so count as over-the-counter sales

 

yeah, i would like to know that too???

 

No sign of Kylie - although we only have a Top 38 in singles so far...

Can somebody say which Duffy song is Top 40 please?

 

"Warwick Avenue." ("Mercy" is out of the Top 10 at last - down 2 places)

Hopefully its dropped like a rock!!! :lol: Doubt it very much though! :(

 

Nelly is down 1 place ;)

Boooo if Kylie is not even above number 38! What is going on i ask you???

Hard Candy giving Madonna sweet success

11:07 | Tuesday April 29, 2008

 

By Paul Williams

 

Madonna is course to become only the third act in the history of the UK albums chart to achieve 10 number one as Hard Candy heads to number one this coming Sunday.

 

Her final Warner studio set is presently outselling its closest challenger, Island act Portishead’s appropriately-titled Third album, by more than 50%, while her 4 Minutes collaboration with Justin Timberlake looks a strong bet to spend a third week at the top of the singles chart.

 

If, as expected, Hard Candy does make number one it will be her 10th such chart-topper, although that calculation does include the 1996 Evita soundtrack, which featured other artists other than Madonna. The Beatles with 15 number ones currently head the all-time list, while Elvis Presley has 11 number ones. Several of her previous chart-toppers, including 1990’s The Immaculate Collection and 2005’s Confessions On A Dance Floor, will themselves figure in this Sunday’s chart. The Immaculate Collection is on target to climb from its current position of 72 into the Top 20, while the 2005 album is likely to re-enter in or around the Top 20.

 

Portishead look a strong bet to enter at number two with what is their first new studio album in more than 10 years, while fellow Island act Sam Sparro’s self-titled debut is also aiming for a top five entry. It is presently a couple of thousand sales off of Domino act Last Shadow Puppets’ The Age Of The Understatement which entered at one last Sunday but will lose its crown this coming weekend.

 

 

Lower down, new entries are expected from Sanctuary/Universal’s The Fall and XL’s Cajun Dance Party, while also set to chart are best ofs from The Platters (UMTV) and Rick Astley (Sony BMG).

 

On the singles chart Island act Sam Sparro’s Black & Gold and the Asylum-issued Wearing My Rolex by Wiley are Madonna’s closest challengers for number one, while notable chart climbs this Sunday will come from acts including Warner Bros’ Pendulum, RCA’s The Script, 2Point9’s Jay Sean and Vertigo/Mercury’s One Night Only.

All the MW report tells us - in addition to what we already know - is that Rick Astley can't be too far away from the Top 40!

Sorry, I didn't realise no-ne else was answering queries. I'll do them all now

 

apologies, I've been offline for a couple of hours

im happy with girls aloud positions as long as the album falls no further

I'm made up for Portishead, 21k in the first day, shoe-in for #2 making it their third #2 album. :D

 

Shame they couldn't have beaten Madonna but I'm pleased anyway.

Wow, I'm impressed Pendulum are hitting the top 10!

Any info on Alphabeat???

 

non-mover :o

 

talk about staying power! I hope it doesn't overshadow the release of 10,000 Nights

Boooo if Kylie is not even above number 38! What is going on i ask you???

 

poor choice of single...the Calvin Harris sound is out of date now...she should have gone with The One, Freemasons production is still fresh

im happy with girls aloud positions as long as the album falls no further

 

It will probably spring back up once the Madonna deal is over next week

Hello, I have a question for chart experts :)

 

If I manage to find the Japanese edition of "Hard Candy" in a British store and purchase it, will it count towards the album's total at the end of the week?

 

Thanks in advance for the answer :)

no, it will count separately...

 

plus you'd be incredibly lucky to find that in a British store, your best bet is online

Thank you! What about the special edition?

if there is a special (UK) edition, it will count...I'm not sure if there is though!?!

Fingers crossed Gabriella can get Sweet Like Me into the top 20 and i'd love the album to climb up to the top 15

 

Change into the top 40 would be nice aswell

 

 

Yep, she's really taking off at the moment. I still feel this song should have been Top 10 in its first week!!!! :cry:

non-mover :o

:yahoo: :cheer: But i hope your right and it doesnt oer shadow 10,000 nights! :( :lol: But I have a feeling 10,000 nights will still go top 10 even if Fascination is Top 30! :D
