Posted August 12, 200817 yr The Script is set for number one battle 10:39 | Tuesday August 12, 2008 By Ben Cardew VIDEOS OF THE WEEK The Cure - The Perfect Boy 2O1bWiyJqbo R.E.M. - Man-Sized Wreath t7oOSHMcv0s The Script look set to end Abba’s reign at the top of the albums chart this Sunday with their eponymous debut album (RCA). The Irish band’s debut sold nearly 17,000 copies on its first day of release yesterday, more than double the total of Abba’s Gold (Polydor). As the Script and Abba battle it out at the top, Vertigo’s Noah And the Whale should challenge for a top five placing with their debut album Peaceful The World Lays Me Down, which sold almost 6,500 copies on day of release. Lower down the chart, Jane McDonald’s Jane (JMD) should challenge for a top ten placing, while The Levellers and Late Of the Pier should be in or around the top twenty with Letter From the Underground (On The Fiddle) and Fantasy Black Channel (Parlophone) respectively. On the singles chart, Katy Perry’s I Kissed A Girl (Virgin) looks set to spend a second week at number one on downloads alone, despite a strong challenge from The Verve’s Love Is Noise (Parlophone), which should improve on its debut placing of number five. Kid Rock’s All Summer Long (Atlantic) and The Script’s The Man Who Can’t Be Moved (RCA) are also selling strongly and should both challenge for the number two slot. Meanwhile, Madcon’s Beggin (RCA) looks set to be the highest new entry. ======================================== Singles (Top 39 Only) 01 Katy Perry 02 The Verve 03 Kid Rock 04 The Script 05 Dizzee Rascal feat.

August 12, 200817 yr Katy Perry has got competition from the Verve this week, hopefully The Verve can grab a week The top 3 in the album chart should see some high new entries from Noah & The Whale and The Script fighting for the top spot this week, unless Duffy springs a surprise , considering her new single Stepping Stone is appearing on iTunes already or ABBA maintaining their lead for a 4th week running. That would be 3 weeks running, not 4, Mikey. :) The Script a likely #1 - yes, but Noah & The Whale?? :blink: :huh: Even if the Verve manage an early lead (due to their 3 for £3 offer), I can't see them lasting the week - Love Is Noise is far from being their best work.
August 12, 200817 yr My Top 5 Prediction: 1 - Katy Perry - I Kissed A Girl 2 - The Verve - Love Is Noise 3 - The Script - The Man Who Cant Be Moved 4 - Kid Rock - All Summer Long 5 - Rihanna - Disturbia
August 12, 200817 yr My Top 5 Prediction: 01. Katy Perry 02. The Verve - Love Is A Noise 03. The Script - The Man Who Can't Be Moved 04. Kid Rock - All Summer Long 05. Rihanna - Disturbia Edited August 12, 200817 yr by ~Mart!n~
August 12, 200817 yr My Top 5 Prediction: 1 - Katy Perry - I Kissed A Girl 2 - The Verve - Love Is Noise 3 - The Script - The Man Who Cant Be Moved 4 - Kid Rock - All Summer Long 5 - Rihanna - Disturbia My Top 5 Prediction: 01. Katy Perry 02. The Verve - Love Is A Noise 03. The Script - The Man Who Can't Be Moved 04. Kid Rock - All Summer Love 05. Rihanna - Disturbia Ditto and ditto again :P . I think Disturbia won't be at #5 in todays midweeks and The Script may be at #4.
August 12, 200817 yr I really want the Verve to be #1 and Bloc Party to be top 10, but both look quite unlikely :(
August 12, 200817 yr 1 Rihanna 2 Kate Perry 3 The Verve 4 The Script 5 Kid Rock 8 Chris and Jordin 20 Kylie (Reckon the video will increase the position of The One) 21 Rihanna - Take A Bow 29 Nickleback - Rockstar
August 12, 200817 yr 20 Kylie (Reckon the video will increase the position of The One) 63 positions is quite a lot to climb in a week though :mellow:
August 12, 200817 yr Kid Rock’s All Summer Long (Atlantic) and The Script’s The Man Who Can’t Be Moved (RCA) are also selling strongly and should both challenge for the number two slot. Does this mean the Verve are only #4? :o
August 12, 200817 yr Author Does this mean the Verve are only #4? :o I ain't got a clue its too vague for me to understand, I wish they use proper English
August 12, 200817 yr Oooh YAY For RiRi, Bloc Party and The Verve And The Script and NATW in albums :wub:
