Posted August 26, 200817 yr The Verve aiming to give metal band the slip 11:01 | Tuesday August 26, 2008 By Paul Williams The Verve’s first new studio album in more than a decade is in a two-way battle with Slipknot to replace Phonogenic/RCA’s The Script at number one this coming weekend. The Parlophone-issued Forth is presently little more than 2,000 sales ahead of Roadrunner act Slipknot’s All Hope Is Gone in what is shaping up to be a busy week for new albums with seven releases battling to debut inside the Top 10. Fellow Roadrunner act Dragonforce are Top 10 possibilities with the newly-issued Ultra Beatdown, while Top 10 entries could also come from the late Eva Cassidy with posthumous Blix Street-issued album Somewhere, Blue Thumb/Universal Classics’ Teddy Thompson, Geffen/Polydor’s The Game and Michael Jackson with a new Sony BMG compilation, King Of Pop. On the singles chart Eric Prydz is poised to claim a third top-three hit with the Data-issued Pjanoo, set to be the chart’s highest new entry this coming weekend. It is his first chart action since his Pink Floyd-sampling Proper Education reached number two in January last year. Despite Prydz’ strong start, Virgin’s Katy Perry looks like extending her run at number one with I Kissed A Girl to four weeks. Phonogenic/RCA’s The Script, who finished runners-up on last Sunday’s chart with The Man Who Can’t Be Moved, are losing ground, leaving Def Jam/Mercury’s Rihanna and Prydz to battle it out for the number two spot on the forthcoming chart. Columbia signings Glasvegas are challenging for a Top 10 debut with Daddy’s Gone, while Paul Weller should add to his Top 20 hits with his latest Island single All I Wanna Do/Push It Along. Vertigo/Mercury’s Metallica are expected to claim their first Top 20 hit in nearly five years with The Day That Never Comes on course for a double-digit climb from its debut position of 36. It could be joined in the Top 40 by their 1992 hit Nothing Else Matters, which re-entered at 53 last Sunday and is making rapid progress this week.

August 26, 200817 yr I think the Top 5 will look something like this today: 1 - Katy Perry - I Kissed A Girl 2 - The Script - The Man Who Can't be Assed to Moved 3 - Rihanna - Disturbia 4 - Kid Rock - All Summer Long 5 - Biffy Clyro - Mountains Eric Prydz will not be Top 3/5 until tomorrow's update i think. It was only last night he was at number 2 in the iTunes chart but he could be at like 8 or 9 today with the sales of the last day or so. Unless Biffy are Top 3 on physicals I can't see them over taking Kid Rock until next week. And i must say 'Mountains' gets better when it's been given a few more listens :o
August 26, 200817 yr Glasvegas a Surprise Top 15 hit?? :unsure: Edited August 26, 200817 yr by Johnjo07
August 26, 200817 yr I'm very pleased for Biffy :D I think they're gonna start off at #2 but will end at about #5 probably fall behind Rihanna, Script and Prydz as the week goes on. I think only Glasvegas and Paul Weller will be new to the top 40 - maybe that Miley Cyrus creature and I can see the hideous American Boy re-entering as well :( The Verve easily for the albums though I'm unsure about Jacko and Eva Cassidy's new ones - could go either way but The Automatic should easily be top 10 and Slipknot top 5.
August 26, 200817 yr I am predicting the following; 1 Katy Perry I kissed a girl 2 Eric Prydz Pyanno 3 The Script The man who cant be moved 4 Rihanna Disturbia 5 Biffi Cyro 20 Alphabeat Boyfriend
August 26, 200817 yr Katy Perry for a fourth week :rolleyes: mind you her download sales are falling a tad each week, it will finally get a physical release next week, I don't think she gain much more sales once its physically release, with Rihanna banging on her front door Is that a euphemism, given the nature of the song? :naughty:
August 26, 200817 yr Unless Biffy are Top 3 on physicals I can't see them over taking Kid Rock until next week. And i must say 'Mountains' gets better when it's been given a few more listens :o Glad you've finally seen sense :D It was pretty much instant for me, but then again, I'm a big Biffy fan, so it would be really! :P I pretty much agree with those predictions as well. I hope Glasvegas can go top 15 - When Geraldine was released, it was top10 in the first mids, so this could do the same. (hopefully) -_-
August 26, 200817 yr Author MTop 40 in for today, Verve #1 in the albums, and Pjanno at #2 give me 10- 15 mins to edit
August 26, 200817 yr Glasvegas have such a big following in Scotland so that would probably get them Top 20 alone, I really hope they can be big. They do seem they could be the next Arctic Monkeys (in terms of success to me).
August 26, 200817 yr Automatic are top 40 in the albums :o :o woah it seems their gonna flop something aren't they. 5 New entries to so i'll clear out alot won't it :D
August 26, 200817 yr Author Pjanoo at #2 already? :huh: :wacko: :blink: Theres no lyrics <_< Well... Children by Robert Miles peaked at #2 that had no lyrics :P
August 26, 200817 yr Author Madonna Update GI2M up 5, yes its definitely up 5, concert effect HC up 2
