Missing from this chart, on downloads alone, Kid Rock, Coldplay (top 10), Ting Tings, Madonna (top 20), Fall Out Boy (top 30), and Coldplay (Violet Hill), Maroon 5/Rihanna (top 40), with Mint Royale, and Usher (Moving Mountains) in the top 50. Sharleen, and Last Shadow Puppets, slipping a bit today, and Kooks, rising slightly. The Wombats, dropping quite, a lot since yesterday.

 

Further on from Kid Rock (currently heading for the top 5, with "All Summer Long". I wonder if a re-release of Warren Zevon`s 1978 U.S. hit "Werewolves Of London" (of which, is one of Kid Rock`s borrowed basslines) could be back, for 2008? Check out, the original, on YouTube http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=nhSc8qVMjKM

This is the closest thing to having a chart today

In other words, Sharleen is probably very close to the top 20 as it is! :cheer: :yahoo:

Going from, my printout, from 5pm, it look`s like, these fall out of the Official top 40 from Sunday:

 

99 Problems - Jay Z.

Bye Bye - Mariah Carey

Pork And Beans - Weezer

Jumping All Over The World - Scooter

Well if you fill in the gaps this is like a midweek report :P

I really don't think Sharleen will continue rising. Her physical preorders were quite strong in the beginning of the week, weren't they. So that surely affects her position in the first midweek report. I don't think she will continue selling steadily through the week and I don't think she can rise above 16-17 at the end of the week. Hope I'm wrong with this. However she is doing much much better than what I have expected a week ago.

Updated Weds 9th July (as of 5pm).

 

Remember on a Wednesday, the chart is equivalent, to the one that used to turn up, in the Sunday People, and Mail On Sunday. That is because, today`s top 40 without downloads alone, carries the same sales period of those formerly printed, in said Newspapers.
