Ah right, thanks for that :)

This isn't a complaint - far from it - I appreciate all the time spent collating stats on here. I was just wondering if you were going to do the top 200 Y/E like last year, rather than the top 100?

I'm a fan of the classical crossover genre, but those guys really make me wince. I won't miss them.

I was in my Tesco Extra today - no sign of her single there and I did go out of my way to look for it.

Thanks to all the chart mods for a lot of hard work, week in, week out. It's much appreciated. Any estimates for Sam Bailey's sales come the end of the week? 200k with physicals factored in? EDIT: Just seen Decemeter's post.

It's a very catchy feelgood song, I would think it will get a huge boost once she's had her XF appearance. I've hardly seen any promo up to release, this week shes got a fair few high profile appearances.

Richard & Adam.....bleh!! Awful plummy, dated vocals. They're pretty low down on Amazon, be interesting to see how far this quick cash in lasts.

Whether it would be live is another matter I think. There is far too much echo on the track and she sounds muffled and although I know the words, I struggle to make them out, it's all indistinct. Having said that I only heard it on Soundcloud. Maybe it was that which was the problem

Thanks Martin ;)

Susan Boyle's dropped four places since Weds. Is James Arthur still at 18?

Ooops sorry, only read the update lol

Is James Arthur still holding at No 10?

Thanks Bre :)

I guess the only way to know the answer is to find another instance where a midweek report commented similarly and look to see what the mentioned artist's sales figures were during the two relevant sales weeks? Having said that I wouldn't expect a No 9 to sell around 20k+ in one week and only 10.5k the following week.

Am I interpreting this correctly? If she sold 65.6k last week, she's on course for 10.5k this week with an 84% drop?

Wow!! :yahoo: The inference being that the rest of the chart may be considerably behind in the midweeks.

Thanks for the nudge......off to buy the Gaga's album. Love that girl! I'm yet to be convinced an X Factor slot is all it's cracked up to be. Only for certain demographics I suspect. Any clue where Mr Arthur is sitting?

The Classical Chart has Katherine Jenkins' old album, This Is Christmas at their No 1, with Andre Rieu's December Lights at No 2. That Rieu album is at No 81 in the top 100, yet Jenkins's album doesn't appear in the top 100 chart at all, shouldn't it feature somewhere above No 81?

Thanks for that. At what point would you expect to see the percentage return to the 30-33% mark?

Sorry if this is a daft question but how do you know that?

I agree. It's a great album, would he have benefitted from releasing at a quieter time of year do you think?

I take your point, although James tweeting a few hours after Eminem's release could be jumping the gun a little.

James Arthur tweeted this about 2 hours ago: Wow we are thousands ahead of the pack in the midweek charts!!!! Keep buying the record guys this is amazing!! X 1D were top of midweeks last week........Eminem still overtook despite releasing later. Looks like it will be close.

What a shame Matt Cardle just missed a top 10 position, such a good album. Beats me how Jonathan & Charlotte manage to cling on to the top ten for 3 weeks.

SuBo releasing a single on Dec 9th?? :unsure: It's two tracks from her album due out 25th Nov http://www.amazon.co.uk/O-Come-All-Ye-Fait...Q15GBPJNP88VEZR
