Posted July 28, 200916 yr A-Ha are set for a huge chart comeback this coming weekend as they head towards their highest position on the albums countdown in more than two decades. The band’s newly-issued UMTV album Foot Of The Mountain is presently only being outsold by the RCA-handled The Essential by Michael Jackson, although Island’s Florence & The Machine is around 300 sales further behind with Lungs. The last time A-Ha appeared in the albums Top 10 was in May 1988 with Stay On These Roads, their third consecutive album to reach number two in the chart following Hunting High And Low and Scoundrel Days. The Norwegian veterans could be joined in the Top 10 this coming Sunday by Wall of Sound’s Reverend & The Makers whose new album A French Kiss In The Chaos is currently the eighth biggest seller of the week. Following her success with Robert Plant, Rounder/Decca’s Alison Krauss is about to score her highest-charting solo set in the UK with Essential expected to debut in or around the Top 20 on Sunday. Other new entries to the chart will include Chicane with the Modena-issued The Best Of, which follows his Top 10 single Poppiholla and Motown/Universal act Melanie Fiona arriving with The Bridge. On singles Interscope/Polydor’s I Gotta Feeling have opened up a 2,000 sales lead over the current number one, Epic act JLS’s Beat Again, which if sustained will give the group their third UK number one single and second successive one following Boom Boom Pow. There is only partial movement around the rest of the Top 10, including Good Music/Mercury’s Mr Hudson featuring Kanye West presently sitting as the week’s third top seller with Supernova and Positiva/Virgin’s Pitbull currently moving into the top five with I Want You Want Me (Calle Ocho) No new entries are presently showing up in the Top 20 with the highest arrival at this stage John Barrowman whose RCA-issued cover of the Barry Manilow hit I Made It Through The rain is currently reported as the week’s 30th top seller.

July 28, 200916 yr Beyonce - Sweet Dreams by a mile! Really not liking the new BEP stuff at the moment. x
July 28, 200916 yr I know the new Black Eyed Peas single will get on my nerves at some point this year but while I love it I really want to see this get to the top of the charts instead of JLfrickinS, god I hate that band with a passion, so hopefully theyll get 'beat'en to the top :lol: And fingers crossed of a small climb for Chicane this week with the physical out, still cant believe this is top 10 its phenomenal!!! And definetly 5 weeks for Michael Jackson on the albums
July 28, 200916 yr Beyonce - Sweet Dreams by a mile! Really not liking the new BEP stuff at the moment. x Never liked them (except for Fergie, for obvious reasons :naughty: ) since they stopped Dido's 'White Flag' from being #1. :cry:
July 28, 200916 yr BEP easily #1 this week. In fact, I reckon IGF could end up challenging at least one of the Gaga tracks for a top 2 spot in the Year-to-date singles.
July 28, 200916 yr Author I can see Man In The Mirror completely gone from the top 40 this week, the 40 chart should be Jacksonless
July 28, 200916 yr I can see Man In The Mirror completely gone from the top 40 this week, the 40 chart should be Jacksonless it's still top 20 on iTunes so there's no chance of that happening :P
July 28, 200916 yr BEP easily #1 this week. In fact, I reckon IGF could end up challenging at least one of the Gaga tracks for a top 2 spot in the Year-to-date singles. Not unless it stays #1 for 2 months...!
