What's the source for the McFly greatest hits?

According to the Popjustice forums, Amelia is still number 1 on today's update. She's sold 42k so far whilst Hall of Fame has sold 36k

Does being playlisted by Radio 1 and Capital count as being unpromoted? :blink:

My moneys on David Guetta and Sia

Who knows? Afterall their debut beat his last studio album to number 1.

Am I the only one that thinks David Guetta & Sia's New single will be number 1 next week. It will be available to cherry pick from the re-release next Monday.

The reason for Ne-yo's slow climb is that it wasn't available to pre-order, unlike its two main competitors. I think its too early to rule him out completely.

Don Broco and While She Sleeps are both top 10 in the album chart midweeks, according to a few tweets.

Joe McElderry's album has now been moved forward to September 10th, according to his Facebook

She's 3,500 behind Justin. Again this is without iTunes data.

Oops yes you're right. I should learn to read properly.

The person who posted that information on Twitter also posted on the Popjustice forum to say that she's sold less than 10,000 at the minute but all iTunes data is missing (presumably also why Stooshe are as high as #2) http://www.popjustice.com/forum/threads/22...l=1#post2150245 He links to his twitter on his popjustice signature by the way, hence how I know it's the same person.

Hmm, probably bringing the baby up by themselves no doubt, judging by the lyrics of the song.

The Official Charts Company listed the Gary Barlow thing as an album when they posted a list of this weeks new releases on their website, so I assume thats how they'll class the ep when compiling the charts too (with cherry picks counting towards the singles chart as usual)

Not sure which chart I'd rather Gary Barlow's release to be included in. If it's included in the singles chart it runs the risk of stopping Loreen getting to the top, but if it's included in the album chart, it may stop either Paloma Faith or Scissor Sisters getting to number 1.

Oh right, haven't listened for a while. I wonder if Adele managed to climb back to the top.

Have they announced the album chart yet?

I notice Pound the Alarm is listed for release on July 9th on the updated schedule.

With The Voice finale being scheduled for June 2nd, does anyone know if there a plans to release a winners single?

Britney (from their Facebook): #228 Oops I Did It Again #263 Womanizer #327 Toxic #439 Born To Make You Happy #505 Everytime Girls Aloud #180 The Promise #485 Call The Shots #643 Something Kinda Ooooh Also: #171 Lady Marmalade #456 Christina Aguilera - Beautiful #1000 Rihanna - Rehab (184k)

More sales from their Facebook: #358 Robbie & Nicole - Something Stupid (371k) #376 Kasabian - Fire (362k)

At the bottom of this page, the Official Charts company use their Facebook to say that Mr Brightside is #198 on sales of 495,000 and that it is 73k behind #150 (meaning that Crazy Frog is on sales of 568k http://www.nme.com/news/will-young/63667?f...f2e8d3c6286cdda Other sales info from the Official Charts facebook page: #161 Toca's Miracle (550k) #182 All I Want For Christmas (~518k) #190 About You Now (512k) #222 Crazy In Love (467k) #274 How You Remind Me (423k)

Actually I have found a more recent one. Manic Street Preachers had consecutive releases The Love of Richard Nixon, Empty Souls and Your Love Alone Is Not Enough all peak at #2 between 2004 and 2007. Elvis had re-releases of Are You Lonesome Tonight, Wooden Heart and Surrender peak at #2 in consecutive weeks in 2005, but of course all had peaked at #1 on previous releases. S Club Juniors also had three consecutive #2s in 2002 - One Step Closer, Automatic High and New Direction. As mentioned, Sash! also had 3 consecutive #2s in 1997. Encore Une Fois, Ecuador, and Stay. These two were particularly unlucky because they never achieved a number 1. If we ignore other songs that the artist has featured on (as we seem to be doing in Calvin Harris' case) Justin Timberlake also had 3 #2s with Like I Love You, Cry Me A River and Rock Your Body (ignoring Work It by Nelly ft. Justin which peaked at #7 and the import of Rock Your Body which peaked at #46) Including re-releases and featured credits, Madonna has actually done this twice. Hanky Panky, Justify My Love and the re-issue of Crazy For You in 1991 and then again in 2003 with American Life, Hollywood and Me Against The Music. And yes, Kylie managed it back in the 1980s. There could of course be more, if anyone knows.

What the actual f***?

Well, it's not really...
