Will they really sell enough singles to go back to #1 though?

When is the Band Aid 30 CD single released? EDIT: Found the info - December 8th.

Didn't think anything was going to dislodge the previous #1 from the top :lol:

1. Thinking Out Loud - Ed Sheeran - (& #59)

In theory, the new Billboard 200 should give us an idea of how money an artist has made from sales/streaming in a week, because you're adding all the sales they've made from songs sold and streamed related to that album. It won't because streaming revenues are so low and artists don't make the same percentage off individual track downloads as they do albums sold. But it will give us an idea - that's how I'm looking at this new chart :lol:

1. Take That - These Days 5. Band Aid 30 - Do They Know It's Christmas?

Band Aid hanging on to #1, and One Direction hanging on in the albums, even though they couldn't manage it in the UK.

It would appear so.

The last time they did this (or the last time they mentioned it) was exactly a year ago (billboard chart date 12/07/2013), the week before "Wrecking Ball" went back to #1 due to that viral video. They felt streaming was above its preferred average back then too.

Unless Bob Geldof pops up on X Factor again :lol:

"Live While We're Young" is no different to "What Makes You Beautiful". And while "Best Song Ever" isn't that great (the various cover versions sound so MUCH better), it's a better song than "Steal My Girl", IMO :lol: .

It doesn't feel like there's been a big hit to promote this album. "Steal My Girl" sounds like 5 drunk lads singing after a night out :lol:
