Posted June 24, 200817 yr Ne-Yo moves Closer to number one spot 10:58 | Tuesday June 24, 2008 By Paul Williams Coldplay may have to settle for only a week at number one on the UK singles chart with Ne-Yo gearing up to take their place. Early sales figures suggest the Def Jam/Mercury track Closer will overtake Coldplay’s Viva La Vida this weekend with the Parlophone track currently around 2,000 sales behind Ne-Yo. A close-run battle elsewhere in the top five has Columbia’s Sara Bareilles, Def Jam/Mercury’s Rihanna and Jive/RCA’s Chris Brown presently separated by little more than 200 sales at this stage. Columbia act Glasvegas are currently positioned to claim the chart’s highest new entry this coming weekend with Geraldine at eight in the midweeks, while A&M act Courteeners are set to debut in the Top 20 with No You Didn’t No You Don’t. New entries to the Top 40 are also expected from Asylum act Ironik and Warner Bros’s Elliot Minor, while Almost Gold/Mercury’s Black Kids are expected to move from their current position of 171 into the Top 40 this Sunday. While Coldplay face a challenge to hold onto their singles crown, their status at the top of the UK artist albums chart looks safe for a third week with Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends presently selling at more than twice the rate of its closest challenger, A&M/Polydor’s Duffy with Rockferry. EMI act Sigur Ros will beat their previous albums chart peak of 16 achieved by Takk in 2005 with Med Sud I Eyrum Vid Spilum Endalaust heading for a top-five entry. It will be joined in the Top 10 by Jive/RCA’s Chris Brown’s Exclusive, which will make a steep climb from its present chart position of 142, while Hollywood Records’ self-titled Jonas Brothers album – released in the UK by Universal rather than Hollywood's usual partner EMI - is expected to enter in or around the 10.

I know some threads get long winded, and its a bummer to read through, but surely it can't be that hard if you bookmark the page... 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. IF ANYONE SPAMS THIS TOPIC TO HIGH HEAVEN WILL BE GIVEN A WARNING, NOT REALLY VERY NICE FOR GUESTS TO READ ALL THE CLAPTRAP
June 24, 200817 yr don't be so sure about a drop for The Jonas Brothers...I'm certain that they'll stay top 20, and they could even climb!
June 24, 200817 yr don't be so sure about a drop for The Jonas Brothers...I'm certain that they'll stay top 20, and they could even climb! I think they could climb they are 11 on itunes i think!
June 24, 200817 yr don't be so sure about a drop for The Jonas Brothers...I'm certain that they'll stay top 20, and they could even climb! Exactly, I think that was wishful thinking on Martin's part I also think their album will chart very high (top 5 or maybe even top 3) Edited June 24, 200817 yr by spiker
June 24, 200817 yr I reckon ne-yo will be number 1 and fingers croosed for nickelback & weezer and what about mariah :o
June 24, 200817 yr Author I just quickly add, before anyone questions Denise Lopez, she is NOT Jennifer Lopez's sister :heehee:
June 24, 200817 yr i dont where was they last week? no.81 with NO promotion, but i think asda / tescos ... wernt stocking it, this week they are so it should go up abit
June 24, 200817 yr Sigur Ros top 3!!!!! Did not realise that the UK had so many people with good taste!
June 24, 200817 yr I think there is a chance coldplay may take no1 again, they still have a lead on itunes and todays mids will include ne-yos pre orders.
