Posted December 9, 200817 yr By Ben Cardew (MW) Take That and Leona Lewis look set to retain their crowns at the top of the albums and singles charts respectively, in a week almost entirely devoid of big new releases. Take That’s The Circus (Polydor), which last week sold some 432,000 copies to top the chart, continues to sell well, shifting 83,046 units yesterday, way ahead of nearest competitors The Killers’ Day And Age (Vertigo) and Leona Lewis’s Spirit (Syco). Lewis’s cover of Snow Patrol’s Run also looks a dead cert to top the singles chart for a second week running, selling 24,429 units yesterday. Its nearest competitors are Britney Spears’ Womanizer (Jive) and Take That’s Greatest day (Polydor). New releases are scant at this time of the year: the highest new entry in the albums chart looks set to be Neil Young’s Sugar Mountain – Live At Canterbury (Reprise), which should secure a top 50 placing. On the singles chart, double A side charity single Little Drummer Boy / Peace On Earth (Warner) is set to be the highest new entry and should challenge for the top five. It is one of a number of festive songs in the midweek charts, including Mariah Carey’s All I Want For Christmas Is You (Columbia), The Pogues’ Fairytale Of New York (Warner Bros) and Wham’s Last Christmas (RCA). ====================================================== Singles 01 Leona Lewis 24,429 02 Britney Spears 9.1k 03 Take That 9k (82 copies behind) 04 Kings Of Leon 8.1k 05 Bandaged (Sir Terry Wogan & Aled Jones) 7.4k Top 10 Akon Top 15 Mariah Carey The Pogues Top 20 Rihanna Top 30 Pink James Morrison Boyzone Wham Beyonce - Singles Ladies 30 Britney Spears - Circus Top 40 Wizzard Take That - RTW Status Quo Top 50 Akon - Beautiful Ne'Yo Dido - White Flag Top 60 Ladyhawke Gabriella Cilmi Top 70 Jason Mraz Top 80 Westlife - I'm Already There GYM Class Heroes Toni Braxton - Unbreak My Heart Top 120 Girls Aloud - TLK Top 140 Take That - Julie Top 150 Take That - Up All Night ================================== Albums 01 Take That 83,046 02 Killers 31.2k 03 Leona Lewis 31.1k (75 copies behind) 04 Kings Of Leon 25.7k 05 II Divo 22.3k Top 10 Stereophonics 08 Girls Aloud Top 15 11 Britney Spears Seal N-Dubz Top 20 Script Snow Patrol Top 30 Oasis Only Men Aloud Rihanna Dido Bette Midler Top 40 Ne'Yo Top 50 Neil Young Top 90 Bob The Builder Top 150 Brandy Wiley Top 180 Common Jive Bunny Top 190 Ysgol Glanaethwy Sales Source and additional Info; The Music Room ==================================================== 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 9, 200817 yr I think it'll be quite boring this week, except for all the xmas songs. Hope P!nk's album holds up well.
December 9, 200817 yr Yeah it's not going to be the most exciting week of the year. Hope Boyzone go top 10 (not that I'm a huge fan, but it's a great song, and for some reason I'm really liking them this era) Grace Jones can get top 100.
December 9, 200817 yr Not as interesting as last week however things to note, Boyzone and just how mega they well flop, cant see them top 10 but also a sneaking feeling they wont be top 20 either; Britney can she overcome TT and the KOL? probably not tbf, and will the album hold up or drop like a stone?
December 9, 200817 yr Am I being thick or has Leona's Run been removed from the iTunes top 100? According to the chart I can see, Kings Of Leon are #1 with Use Somebody while Run is nowhere to be seen.
December 9, 200817 yr Author Am I being thick or has Leona's Run been removed from the iTunes top 100? According to the chart I can see, Kings Of Leon are #1 with Use Somebody while Run is nowhere to be seen. Its true, but if you read the iTunes thread topic, it will explain it all
December 9, 200817 yr Am I being thick or has Leona's Run been removed from the iTunes top 100? According to the chart I can see, Kings Of Leon are #1 with Use Somebody while Run is nowhere to be seen. It's back on now.. They added the "RUN" music video to the album so removed the old deluxe version so obviously Run got removed with it.. It will regain it's place shortly :D I have a sneaky feeling Sir Terry could swipe the #2 spot! :)
December 9, 200817 yr my goodness, can't Leona's management just let the fans download her music for one week without screwing them around?
December 9, 200817 yr Author Will post when available, nothing at the moment. I wonder if we have another dodgy chart today

December 9, 200817 yr Go Britney!! Hope she can keep hold of that Number 2 position!! Bit upset that shes not in the Top 5 albums. I just hope shes still in the bloody Top 10!!
December 9, 200817 yr NOOOOO Britney Number 11!! Hope she can climb back into the Top 10 by Sunday. Why do people give up on her after the first week with her albums???? Also you wouldnt have a position for Alesha's single and album would you? thanks x Edited December 9, 200817 yr by Scoobyh1
December 9, 200817 yr Great for Womanizer and Circus, but album I really hope shes still in the top 10 another week. :( Edited December 9, 200817 yr by Nick F1
December 9, 200817 yr Bloody hell! Terry so high, Boyzone so low. My prediction is going to be way out this week!
