Usher album making a stand for number one position

Usher is primed to score his third UK number one album this coming weekend with Here I Stand set to debut at the top.

 

The RCA-handled album is currently several thousand sales ahead of its nearest challenger, A&M/Polydor’s Duffy with Rockferry, as Columbia’s The Ting Tings face exiting the number one position after just a week with We Started Nothing.

 

The Usher album is likely to be joined in the Top 10 by Dance To The Radio act the Pigeon Detectives who are poised for a high new entry with second album Emergency. Their last album Wait For Me reached number three a year ago.

 

Sanctuary/Universal’s Spiritualized are also challenging for a Top 10 arrival with new album Songs In A&E, while entries to the Top 40 are also set to come from acts including Nul Recordings’ Futureheads, Roadrunner-signed Kids In Glass Houses, RCA’s Sandi Thom, Geffen/Polydor’s Ashlee Simpson and Decca’s Russell Watson.

 

On singles, little more than 1,000 sales are currently separating Def Jam/Mercury act Rihanna’s Take A Bow and Columbia-signed The Ting Tings’ That’s Not My Name, which lost its number one position to the Barbadian singer last Sunday. The Ting Tings’ Shut Up And Let Me Go, the soundbed of an iPod commercial, is likely to join That’s Not My Name in the Top 40, having charted at 49 last weekend.

 

A&M/Polydor’s Duffy should score her second top-five hit with Warwick Avenue progressing from its current chart position of seven, while Ne-Yo’s Def Jam/Mercury single Closer is heading for the Top 10 after moving 24-12 on last week’s chart.

 

Paul Weller’s Island Records return Have You Made Up Your Mind/Echos Round is shaping up to be the highest new entry on this coming Sunday’s chart, while Deltasonic’s Zutons are likely to return to the Top 20 as Always Right Behind You heads for a double-digit climb from its present position of 28.

my predictions

 

Singles

 

1.Rihanna

2.Duffy

3.Ting Tings

4.Madge

5.Taio Cruz

 

Albums

 

1.Duffy

2.Ting Tings

3.Neil Diamond

4.Pigeon Detectives

5.Usher

 

Russel Watson, Spiritualized, Futureheads should just manage top 10 and Ashlee looks a pretty safe top 15

 

Sandi would be lucky to go top 30 as would KIGH

Futureheads deserve the number one spot - as long as they beat the vastly inferior Pigeon Detectives though.

My predictions:

 

Singles

 

1. Rihanna

2. Duffy

3. Ting Tings

4. Madonna

5. Will

 

Albums

 

1. Pigeon Detectives

2. Duffy

3. Futureheads :(

4. Ting Tings

5. Neil Diamond

I'm hoping Kolomoira will get inside the top 40 this week! It would be amazing if she could do really well here

Cant agree more, but somehow I think the PDs will chart higher :angry:

 

I think the Foals physical has been delayed...it says on their website it's not released until the 9th June. :unsure:

Usher is #1 in the albums, single chart has not updated yet, as soon as everything is up I post.
  • Author
Ok we have lift off, Rihanna is #1, Duffy up to 4 give me 5 to 10 mins while I quickly edit

Oooh that's not good for Fratellis lead single...:lol:

And Will.I.Am at 3 :o

YAH!!! For Will_I_Am! Its a new peak!! And YAH! for Kolomoira being top 40! Hopefully that can last throughout the week! Shame about Alphabeat only being top 20 - hopefully it'll be top 15 by the end of the week

Ashley Simpson top 40 in the albums is kind of where i expected it to be.

 

Do you know where Girls Aloud - Tangled Up is?

Futureheads only top 15 :cry:

I suppose their other two albums only reached 11 and 12 (I think anyway) but I was kinda hoping it would be at least top 10 with 2 excellent singles and great reviews...:( Well at least the Fratellis flopping can put a smile on my face :lol:

Woo-hooo!! New pic for Will i am and the amazing Cheryl :wub:

After 3 weeks at 4, its such a nice surprise ^_^ I hope they can hold the position by Sunday!

hopefully there is some data missing from the charts and Bank Holiday monday would give for a decrease in sales so Duffy should be higher in singles and albums by the end of the week
