Posted December 2, 200817 yr Take That bring their Circus to the top of the charts 12:01 | Tuesday December 2, 2008 By Ben Cardew Take That’s new album The Circus (Polydor) has taken a commanding lead in the albums chart and looks certain to score the number one spot this Sunday. The album shrugged off problems at EUK and Woolworths Retail to sell 132,985 units on its first day of release, more than four times as much as nearest competitors, the Killers’ Day And Age (Vertigo), a result that suggest the veteran boy band could be on the way to one of the highest weekly sales so far this year. Britney Spears’ new album, Circus (Jive), should secure a top three placing, having sold 24,288 copies on day of release, while Same Difference’s Pop (Syco) should debut top twenty. Meanwhile, Guns N’ Roses’ long awaited Chinese Democracy (Polydor) looks set to fall out of the top five. On the singles chart, Take That’s Greatest Day (Polydor) looks set to lose its chart crown to another Mancunian group – Oasis, with I’m Outta Time (Big Brother). Leona Lewis’s cover of Snow Patrol’s Run, which she performed on the X factor in November, should secure a top three placing. ================================================ Top 40 Only Singles 01 Oasis 8.5k 02 Take That 4.5k (36 copies ahead) 03 Leona 4.5k 04 X Factor Finalists 3.7k 05 Britney 3.6k Top 10 Akon Top 15 N-Dubz 15 Will Young Top 20 George Sampson McFly Top 30 Kings Of Leon SOF Basshunter - Jingle Bells Daniel Takes A Train Chris Brown Miley Cyrus Top 40 Wiley 32 Madonna Pogues Mariah Carey Bob The Builder Sash ============================= Albums 01 Take That 133k 02 Killers 29.5k 03 Britney Spears 24.3k 04 Leona Lewis 21.2k 05 Kings Of Leon 16.6k Top 15 Duffy Same Difference Top 20 Sash Seal Top 30 Miley Cyrus The Script Nickelback Josh Groban Rod Stewart Status Quo Top 40 Akon Will Young NO ITUNES DATA INCLUDED ================================================ PLEASE NOTE Please keep this thread on topic at all times, I do not want to repeat myself every week, no text talk is allowed, do not write in block CAPS, and keep all requests in one post if you can, and try to read the thread topic before asking a question and please be patient while you are waiting for your question to be answered.

December 2, 200817 yr I'm awake, can't wait to see if Leona's number 1 and what is the gap between her and TT (I guess the number 2) :D
December 2, 200817 yr I'm here. Really hope Same Difference can have a top 10 album and the single hasn't fell too badly...
December 2, 200817 yr Predictable week for no1 single and album. Hope GA do well this week and hope album sales stay high.
December 2, 200817 yr 01 LEONA LEWIS - RUN - 30K 17 RIHANNA - REHAB 01 TAKE THAT - CIRCUS - 40K 02 BRITTERS - CIRCUS - 10K 10 SAME DIFF - POP - 8K
December 2, 200817 yr Take That the most obvious for the album chart. Lower sales than people are expecting at the end of the week due to the whole Woolies thing.
December 2, 200817 yr I reckon the top 3 singles will be Leona 45k (Sounds high but this song is advertised everywhere!) TT 18k Beyonce 16k Albums TT-65k (pre-orders were massive) Britters-18k Killers 16k Same Difference 14k (These are optimistic predictions btw..I reckon SD are more like 8 or 9.) Same Difference are doing brilliantly, Wayyy better than the single :o Edited December 2, 200817 yr by Chrisj.
December 2, 200817 yr is britney deffo gonne be number 2? i think the albums may be TT 80 000 Killers 22 000 Britney? 20 000
December 2, 200817 yr i think in the singles 1 Leona - Run - 50000 ish 2 TT - 20000 3 Beyonce - 12000 Albums 1. TT - 80-100000 2. Britney - 20000 3. Killers - 15000 7. Same Difference - 9000
December 2, 200817 yr I really don't think leona's run will be no1. Then you really haven't seen itunes popularity bars then have you! Its outselling TT, who sold 70k last week by over 3 to 1. It should easily sell over 150k ;)
December 2, 200817 yr Looks like Miley Cyrus has been taken off iTunes, so it's climb is gonna come to a grinding holt if it's not readded soon.
December 2, 200817 yr Sorry to say but I think you lot are over-estimating Britney. I have a gut feeling that she'll end up either at the lower half of the top 10 or Top 15 with her new album.
December 2, 200817 yr My Predictions Singles 01 Leona Lewis 02 Take That 03 Britney Spears 04 Beyoncé 05 T.I. Albums 01 Take That 02 Killers 03 Leona Lewis 04 Stereophonics 05 Britney Spears
