There's Hot Chip and Wideboys falling from higher positions though

Haha! Was just playing devil's advocate anyway. My point really was that it's difficult to predict what does and doesn't connect with the public sometimes. The whole Chanelle affair just screams disaster to me - I just don't think that #157 is the end of the story. She will go a fair bit higher than that. For the record, I think that "Jumping All Over The World" (the single) is delightful! :dance:

The same could be said of Scooter though, and they were #1 last week!

Only a Top 40 update so far... It looks like there were sales missing yesterday, either that or her physical was late into the shops. I've a feeling she will go Top 100, maybe Top 75 as the week goes on. Either way, the knives are out for her in the media.

Sales info posted on Haven - no source quoted though: 1. Ting Tings 14.6k 2. Rihanna 13.4k 3. Madonna 11.5k 4. Will I Am 9.8k 5. Wiley 9.5k Albums 1. Neil Diamond 16.8k 2. Pendulum 15k 3. Scooter 12k 4. Madonna 10.2k 5. Duffy 10.1k (only 23 copies behind Madonna)

1 Madonna - Sorry 2 Corinne Bailey Rae - Put Your Records On ...springs to mind, but I'm probably wrong. That was just over 2 years ago now, wasn't it?

The jury is out on "Viva La Vida" because it's also available as a free download with pre-orders of the new album. This may disqualify all of the sales of the track. I'm sure it's selling well enough to be at least Top 39 (which is all we have today). Not sure why "VH" is coming consistently lower than expected every day?

There's Top 5 album sales on Haven but not from the usual source: 1 Madonna 20.7k 2 Scooter 20.3k 3 Duffy 16.4k 4 Sam Sparro 10k 5 Portishead 9.6k If this is correct, Scooter could be celebrating come Sunday!

They said something like "expect the unexpected" this summer, so this is only the start of it. Maybe they'll do one of those "free with Mail On Sunday" covermount CD's? :rolleyes:

Who called them talentless then? I think they've done some good choons - just not for me!

Ashlee down 5 from Sunday, Ne-Yo is *just* Top 30

I think the new version will chart separately just like "BTB." #13 is its peak

There was a docu on a couple of nights ago... "The Trouble With Amy Winehouse" or something. Look out for "Frank - The Deluxe Edition" coming next week I think!

I hate Coldplay anyway. Whatever!!!!

"VLV" was #49 yesterday though whilst it was #6 on iTunes. I'd expect more than a 9-place jump for a track that's outselling Wiley and Sam Sparro on iTunes...

Every day's a drama with Coldplay, ain't it? I'm not sure this offering-it-free-with-pre-orders malarkey is within the laws of the OCC. It's #3 on iTunes! It surely should be Top 39 otherwise?

All the climbers and new entries are posted in descending order, if that's any help?

We only have a Top 40 update today, but yesterday they were still Top 50. Double last Sunday's position ;)

She had a 1,300 lead over Pendulum in yesterday's update. It just depends on how her downloads hold up tomorrow, I guess. Don't rule out a late surge from James Fox on physicals tomorrow. I've a feeling we might see her at #11 on Sunday, but that's just gut instinct :(

From yesterday, Kylie hasn't moved (she hasn't moved for 3 days now) and Kelly has climbed a place. Hope this helps? ;)

In anticipation of certain requests (all positions quoted are changes from last Sunday): Britney album down 9, Girls Aloud album down 3 Britney single down 8, Girls Aloud no change, Kylie no change
