Nope. AL is around 335,000 copies or something and HC just crossed 310,000 this week. However, on the plus side, it took American Life 37 weeks to hit 310,000 copies in the UK, and it has only taken Hard Candy 27 weeks to do the same, so it is trending to go higher.

Thanks for that!

I'm having this horrible feeling that MA could be Madonna's first single since the start of her career to miss the UK top 20. This cannot be allowed to happen!

I guess it´ll be a top 20, maybe a top 15:if it helps to sell the album, it woudl be ok for me

its spo boring. i thought womanizer would do better in the uk than the states.

I'm not surprise. Womanizer really sucks. I was hopping a better song for Britney's come back.

I wouldn't be so disappointed. All of the top 4 this week will clear 40k, which has not happened for ages. She could have been number 1 many other weeks, definitely number 2 for the vast majority of the year.

The competition this week is fierce. She has time to go higher. Airplay is just kicking in. Although Beyonce looks set to take over from X Factor in the coming weeks.

Also, a reason for a big increase in sales figures this week, apart from that the top ten are popular, is because there are some fantastic download offers via Tesco and Sainsburys in the UK. Tesco are giving 25% off all downloads if you buy anything in their store, Sainsburys are giving £15 itunes vouchers should someone buy two albums in store.

I said that weeks ago. I also said the same thing about Love Profusion but that didn't have downloads to contend with. MA is doing better on airplay than I expected but it isn't helping to sell the album so it charting will be solely down to fans buying the physical.

Hi - check my post on the 4th november - this explains why Leona has risen.

Beyonce has now overtaken X factor on itunes, they had a huge lead on Sunday. Britney also closing in fast.

Leona has just made the top ten on itunes. Apparently her lowish midweek position is because the song was made available for download a day late but she is way behind for the race for number 2. Remember the only new major player to be released on physical this week is Leona. Beyonce, Britney, Alesha and Christina are just download this week.

So Leona could rise into the top 5, with Britney and Beyonce taking 2 and 3 ahead of GA by Sunday.

thank you! :asian:

by the way, britney and christina are doing better than I thought, i guess with the pshysical release C will be top ten and brintey 2-3

Christina is digital only so she will have to hope that the song continues to build over the coming weeks.

Britney's physical release is the 17.11 so she should stay top 5 as long as digital sales hold up. There are quite a few big songs coming out soon so competition will be fierce and sales will be much higher for top ten than earlier in the year.

Im not disappointed LOL

I like Womanizer BUT if it missed the top 75 its not something I would lose sleep over :p

Leona perhaps has flopped but she has sold more this week than many previous number ones this year. She will also get a major boost from next weeks X Factor.

Britney is doing great. Promotion is only just starting and she has sold 45k downloads in week 1. That is very impressive.
