Posted May 20, 200818 yr Another week - and another new number 1 single?! :o In a break from 2008 tradition, could Rihanna's Take A Bow knock the Ting Ting's That's Not My Name off the top of the chart? Probable top 10 new entries are from Duffy's Warwick Avenue and Nelly & Fergie. There should be climbers from Royworld, The Futureheads, Sandi Thom (remember her?!) and maybe Andy Abrham if he is lucky. Also, look out for Gabriella Cilmi who could be on the up again. Albums-wise, The Ting Tings look a good bet to grab the top spot from the ever ageing Neil Diamond. Duffy, Madonna and Pendulum should also retain their top 5 status. In a slim week for album releases I suspect Beth Rowley will be only other new entry. PLEASE NOTE Please do not post full lists, you all know the format.

While you wait for your weekly dose of chart info to arrive after 11am sometime take part in our pinned games, not all updates are guaranteed every day but we try our hardest to keep the info coming in every day. Please do not post lists, or sales info unless you are told to by myself or a chart mod, if you do have sales info that you wish to share round them off to the nearest thousand and name your source, do not post precise sales figures. Thank you for your time. Remember, play nicely! Rihanna aiming to halt Ting Tings chart double 10:46 | Tuesday May 20, 2008 The Ting Tings are looking a strong bet to debut at number one on the artist albums chart this coming weekend, but are facing a close battle with Rihanna to retain their singles crown. The Manchester duo’s Columbia album debut We Started Nothing is presently around 50% ahead of its closest rival, fellow Columbia signing Neil Diamond’s Home Before Dark, which became the veteran star’s first studio album number one last Sunday. However, on the singles chart The Ting Tings’ That’s Not My Name, which entered at number one last week, is under threat from Def Jam/Mercury’s Rihanna with Take A Bow, which previously debuted at number two and is now only a few hundred sales off the top spot. Two other albums look poised for Top 10 debuts in this Sunday’s chart, both Universal Classics releases: Beth Rowley’s Little Dreamer and the Cistercian Monks’ Chant – Music For Paradise. Mick Hucknall’s first album outside Simply Red, the Simplyred.com-issued Tribute To Bobby Bland, which comprises his interpretations of Bobby Bland songs, is heading for a Top 20 debut, while Neil Diamond is looking likely to have two albums in the 20 with the MCA-issued The Best Of set to make a steep climb from its current position of 194. Other new entries are expected this Sunday from Sparks, Foxboro Hot Tubs, the Osmonds,Thea Gilmore and Scarlett Johansson, while John Williams’ soundtrack to the new Indiana Jones movie is also poised to debut. Against three expected new entries in the Top 10 of the albums chart, the upper places in the singles chart are looking fairly static with early sales indications suggesting only one release will move into the Top 10: A&M/Polydor’s Duffy with Warwick Avenue. Lower down, the Top 40 could welcome brand new entries to the chart from Kristen, Fratellis and The Zutons, while Snap’s 1992 chart-topper Rhythm Is A Dancer is looking likely to return to the 40 following its use in a TV commercial for Drench spring water Source: Music Week Tuesday Top 40 update from MW Singles 1 Ting Tings 11.7k 2 Rihanna 11.2k 3 Madonna 6.8k 4 Will I Am 6.6k 5 Sam Sparro 5.7k Top 10 Estelle Duffy Top 15 Nelly Sara Bareilles Top 20 Chris Brown Scouting For Girls Ne-Yo Top 30 Alphabeat - Fascination Taio Cruz Nickelback Ashlee Simpson Royworld Fall Out Boy Gusto Top 40 Kristen Fratellis Snap - Rhythm Is A Dancer Zutons Lil' Wayne Albums 1 Ting Tings 15k 2 Neil Diamond 9.7k 3 Duffy 8.7k 4 Scooter 6.7k 5 Pendulum 5.4k Top 10 Beth Rowley Cistercian Monks Top 15 Neil Diamond - Best Of Hucknall Top 20 Raconteurs Top 30 Vampire Weekend Foxboro Hot Tubs Sparks Top 40 Osmonds Girls Aloud Pendulum - HYC Bon Iver 41-75 albums only Top 50 John Williams Thea Gilmore Kylie Minogue Scarlett Johansson Top 60 Robyn Paramore Top 70 Taio Cruz Magic Numbers Kanye West Robbie Williams Rihanna Top 75 Celine Dion Will I Am Thanks to Eightiespopkid ^_^

May 20, 200818 yr my *controversial* predictions singles 1. The Ting Tings (1) 2. Rihanna (2) 3. Madonna (3) 4. Will.I.Am (4) 5. Wiley (5) albums 1. The Ting Tings (NEW) 2. Neil Diamond (1) 3. Duffy (4) 4. Scooter (3) 5. Pendulum (2)
May 20, 200818 yr Hope Duffy makes top 10 this week! I can see Rihanna at no.1 ut to be fair it doesn't really deserve it.
May 20, 200818 yr Much as I like their two songs, the Ting Tings just seem too flash in the pan to top both charts - but, that said, better them than Rihanna, Scooter etc. Looks like they might benefit greatly from a very quiet week.
