Nathan Grisdale - Miss Understood

I believe Rudimental have pushed their album back to October 2nd, according to iTunes ^_^ although it'll probably bomb either way, can't see it selling more than 20k in its first week, maybe if they release a single which actually breaks the top 20 they might stand a chance of going Gold eventually, but apart from that, not looking good for them

Potential battle for #1 between Ellie and Little Mix? Both did approximately 35k in their first week with their last album

10. Leona Lewis - I Am Reached a new peak, still optimistic it could remain in the top 10 by Friday

12. Nero 21. MNEK/Zara 26. RHODES/Birdy 28. Ella Eyre 33. Crowded House 95. Rachel Platten 97. Tori Kelly/Jeremih 104. Frances 106. Lana Del Rey 120. Nick Jonas 140. Nathan Grisdale 144. Leona Lewis 151. Kylie/Shaggy 191. P!nk

12. Nero 24. MNEK/Zara 25. RHODES/Birdy 29. Crowded House 38. Ella Eyre 87. Lana Del Rey 91. Kylie/Shaggy 132. P!nk 146. Leona Lewis 147. Tori Kelly ft. Jeremih 151. Nathan Grisdale Interestingly the Jeremih version of Should've Been Us isn't as tragic as I thought it would be

And one of them was other version of the most omnipresent song of the year, and two of them were features from another artist

As much as I like the song, can this go away, there are about 10 other Birdy songs I'd prefer to be doing well, including Let It All Go, which actually has a shot at the top 40, but will probably lose out due to the constant recurrence of this song

11. Nero 25. MNEK/Zara 26. Birdy/RHODES 79. Kylie/Shaggy 93. Lana Del Rey 124. P!nk 134. Nathan Grisdale 135. Leona Lewis 72. Christina Perri - Human Assuming Christina has returned due to the X-Factor? Great song either way

You can't be serious? Satisfy was absolutely dire, and even if this is generic it's at least got some content, not a patch on any of their old stuff, but I feel like they're moving from Dubstep to Dance/Pop with this album Edit: Got 'Satisfy' and 'The Thrill' mixed up :P

10. Nero 25. MNKE/Zara 27. RHODES/Birdy 45. Disclosure/Lion Babe 53. Mumford & Sons 55. Kylie/Shaggy 83. Lana Del Rey 101. P!nk 121. Selena Gomez 135. Nathan Grisdale 136. Leona Lewis 165. James Morrison 176. Robin Schulz/Francesco Yates

127. Leona Lewis - I Am Have to say, I'm surprised it's climbed this much, considering the album is yet to climb above #12 on the album chart, though I'm happy it has done, she deserves some recognition at least, as her album is probably spending one week in the top 40 at #18

Oh wasn't she, my bad! :P

This is getting ridiculous 3. Stormzy :wacko: :blink: 24. Nero 28. Crowded House 32. MNEK/Zara 34. Kylie/Shaggy 39. Birdy/Rhodes 52. Disclosure/Lion Babe 58. Watermat/Becky Hill/Tai 61. Lana Del Rey 63. P!nk 87. Mumford & Sons 116. Nathan Grisdale 146. James Morrison 190. Leona Lewis

I meant the Albums list aha :P

1. Bring Me The Horizon 2. Stereophonics 3. The Libertines 10. Duran Duran 14. Leona Lewis 20. Nero 28. Richard Hawley 35. Kwabs Oh how the mighty have fallen, who would've thought back in 2011 that Leona Lewis and Nero would be looking unlikely to hit the top 10 with an album :cry:

93. Little Mix - Love Me Like You (PRE ORDER) Maybe everyone thinks it's a cover of Love Me Like You Do, and that's why it's actually appeared in the top 100 :P In other news... 31. Nero - Two Minds 40. Kylie Minogue ft. Shaggy - Black and White 51. Rhodes ft. Birdy - Let It All Go 53. MNEK ft. Zara Larsson - Never Forget You 63. P!nk - Today's The Day 79. Disclosure ft. Lion Babe - Hourglass 85. Lana Del Rey - Music To Watch Boys To :cheer: :wub: 142. Nathan Grisdale - Miss Understood :puke2: 177. James Morrison - Demons :puke2: Also, after listening to "Black and White" and "Two Minds" back to back, does anyone else hear a resemblance, or is it just me?

Ellie Goulding's disappeared from the list :lol:

Markus Feehily - Butterfly is already available for purchase on iTunes as an album track ^_^ It's actually pretty decent as well :o

Everything he touches seems to turn to gold over here though (Somebody #2, Don't Tell Em #5, Freak of the Week #9) and even if it is awful, Tori needs to get some hype over here, desperate for her album to do well and not do a Charli XCX/Marina/Tove Lo type run

I too have to admit that I am surprised by Halsey's success, I thought she'd do similar to Tinashe and Ciara's recent albums, debut in the lower regions of the top 20, then disappear mysteriously never to surface again. However, like the former two albums, Badlands is stunning, and I have to admit it's one of my favourite albums of the year. Not quite sure how it will sell in the long run, but the first-week sales give me hope it could pass 500,000 eventually and go Gold The Weeknd was always going to sell huge numbers in his first week, we knew that much as soon as CFMF was released and began to rise, though long term might be a different matter. It will easily cross 1,000,000 but I can't see further than that And OH DEAR at Carly Rae Jepsen, 16-64 in one week, out of the top 150 next week I presume... whoops... then again, Bon Jovi haven't done much better, going 13-62, and I actually thought they'd sell some, considering their last three albums have all gone to #1 with their last two debuting with 101,000 and 163,000. I admit Burning Bridges isn't a "proper" studio album as some call it, but that's a woeful performance from them.

Think: #1 Want: #1 Sales: 33.9k? :P It's going to be ridiculously frontloaded, and even as a huge Lana fan myself I haven't seen much hype around the album (apart from her fanbase, where there's actually more than there was for Ultraviolence) but the thing with Lana is that I don't think she's ever seemed that fussed about commercial success, or at least not as much as some artists :rolleyes: Ultraviolence didn't sound like she was making it to be a hit album with hit singles, whereas Born To Die was full of single-worthy music written for the charts, and from what I've heard so far Honeymoon sounds more similar to Ultraviolence than Born To Die. But no... this won't be hanging round very long in the charts, but will be frontloaded enough to get her to number 1... I think... ;)

18. Taylor Swift - Wildest Dreams Not that I expected this to be a huge hit or anything, but if it doesn't move up a bit more then it's not going to go much higher than #35/#36 on the official chart

They're releasing Writing's On The Wall on the 28th... a monday :rofl: talk about a floppy release... again... Skyfall Pt.2
