34. Brandon Flowers - I can change 😀 Is this going to be a hit? No video yet and already so high! Hopefully a decent peak. Brilliant album

What did Paulo Nutini do?

Couldn't see a thread on this but what do you think? Preorders must be huge and despite drop in album sales I think this could do over 200k first week

Nelly Furtado Forca That would be considered a success right now for her

The Last Top 40 appearance for BritPop Gods The Bluetones :P Never Going nowhere charted at Number 40 in 2003. I remember being shocked they could still manage a hit at the time

Belinda Carlisle - Runaway Horses

80k Bastille 30K Dido 20K Phonics There really is no question that Bastille is going to number 1.

Back to 99p ^_^

Bastille 5K lead over JT @occmidweeks :o #wishfulthinking

There is no chance of the Foals splitting after this album. I predict the album will be bigger than people think, the single is way exceeding expectations and the album in my opinion will have no trouble hitting the top spot. Foals and Bastille to lead the new wave of guitar based music in 2013...

Foals smashing it! Number 30. :dance:

Tori Amos Professional Widow?

Attention seeking. Ignore her

The 25 years hype will be helping

You're a little sad aren't you.

Yeah i think physical sales do count a lot towards the bottom region of the chart (no offence sophie) but is viewed as meaningless towards the top end - after all a few 1000 copies rarely have an impact on a number 1 or 2 but can make all the difference between a T40 and a T25.

Well Done Diana. I am shocked she held on after the narrow lead on Tues mid weeks, will be intersting to see sales. Hopefully this will show people she is here to stay. Great album and thats coming from a non fan.

Yes absolute flop. Her record label should call time on her now. Debut Numer 1 single and Number 1 album. Bet Diana is devasted she has fallen 4 places in the singles chart. :rolleyes:

And I have also seen Guardian 4/5 Stars Clash 8/10 BBC Favourable It is clearly an album which has divided the critics, NME bashed the last album and if they don't fit their "mould" then they will also slate so I take their opinion with a pinch of salt. Personally I think it is a fantastic album, and certainly better than the last one, although i still love An End Has A Start, I'm sure it will be Number 1 next week as Papillon has generated a lot of interst in the album.

I quite fancy Olly to win, I think people will connect with him as the "underdog" in the category and could go further than the other 2 to Simon's dismay. Really not sure what music he will do though, really hope Simon doesn't make him a dated crooner, I get this impression.

About 10 listens in and it gets better and better - I'm in love with this album. Love how short it is, favourite tracks?? All of them are sensational - it honestly is so fantastic :wub: Think I'm really feeling the title track and Like Treasure at the moment.

Anyone see them on Jools Holland last night. The 2nd song Eat Raw Meat sounded superb, REALLY excited for the album now, surprise album of the year perhaps :blink:

I think a surprise Hit for this, Top 10 for single, Top 20 for album. She is just so difficult to predict though.

Unbelivable sales figures for the 2 KOL singles :o 22 & 34 for the decade!!

hmm I doubt it will even be a battle - Muse should double her tally! :naughty:
