sting´s new album is doing really bad!

[aeroco]

Saturday chav sales won the day for La Cole afterall. Apparently she retained the top spot with just 300 more copies than BJ.

JLS or Robbie will take the top spot this coming week, my money is on Robbie. The album is probably dire but he has been promoting on X factor, BBC The proms, Jonathan Ross (another interview where he reveals he suffers from stage fright, the sympathy card once again, yawn) and he is meant to be the sole guest on Loose Women tomorrow. If only Madonna would do one of these shows, esp Loose Women .

Leona will take next weeks number 1 in the singles, though Sugababes, BEPs, N Dubz and Britney all have a chance of high chart placings.

[charles]

just one spot down eh? and with zero promotion!
I'm glad Bon Jovi is back and Sting too.

[HolidayGuy]

Is Mimi's Foreigner cover making just as much of an impression in the UK as it has the USA? She's going to do Euro promo, since the album is out in the UK next week (why it was delayed there, who knows- not like she has a hit there at this point).

Good hold for Madge on the albums chart, as it crosses 200,000 sold.

Nope. Not heard it at all. I downloaded it by accident and didn't realise it was a cover but not heard it on Radio 1. I think there is no interest in her a the moment. Same old sh*t. Not sure if Radio 2 are playing it and she might do better on commercial radio like Heart.

I think there is general indifference to here now as there are a swathe of female popstars coming through that are young and fresh: GaGa, La Roux, Little Boots, Pixie Lott as well as Alexandra Burke and Cheryl Cole.

Who cares about a fading prima donna with fake boobs and covers of lame 80s songs?

Shame Mariah!
SHAME!

why this sudden surge? its almost out of the single chart top40 this week..

[Madge's Mole]

im glad Cheryl actually beat Bon Jovi even if just by 300 copies lol! Theyre awful - same old sh*t different album. I got why they maybe sold tons of albums in the 80s and 90s; but over the last several years, I just dont get why they still sell as many records as they do.

Did BEP do Xfactor this weekend?

yeah they did, a real amateur looking performance of their new song (i think)

[aeroco]

The Celebration double CD is now retailing at £8.99 at all the major online sites. Considering they were all selling £11.99 or over at its release this is a big drop but should hopefully tempt more buyers. £8.99 is great for a 2CD GHs.

[Madonna's Guy]

I really hope it can get back inside the top 20 again in the coming weeks!

where's the bloody promised vinyl version?

[aeroco]

Some sales updates for you all inc Celebration single and album. The album slightly increased its sales last week. Hope it continues to rise, sales are beginning to pick up across the board now in the run up to Christmas.

[Queen Bitch]

Hope JLS beat Robbie but there's major ad campaigns, loads of promo spots and it's also reduced in quite a few shops - got to hand it to Parlo for knowing how to do promo. The Cheryl album is also being heavily advertised.

[theXX]

Ive seen Madonnas album advertised 3 or 4 times in the past couple of days on tv.

[aeroco]

JLS lead Robbie in the first set of mids, though a later report states that Robbie has some sales missing and so is slightly in the lead!! Both have massive sales, bigger than opening sales for Alexandra and Cheryl.

Single sales are good but not massive for Leona. She could be caught by BEPs. The top ten are going to sell well though this week as many strong new entires.

Madonna is still top 30 in the albums so will see another sales increase hopefully by the end of the week.

[Queen Bitch]

The Leona single is pleasant enough but it's more like a third or fourth from an album, not the lead one. It was quite an underwhelming performance on Sunday's X Factor. Interesting that JLS have an initial lead over Robbie - not a fan of Robbie's but it's becoming quite concerning that X Factor are dominating the charts in totality, not just the Christmas number 1.

[aeroco]

Robbie is actually on 85k once the missing sales are added....wonder if there is some sort of cover up/ malpractice happening to help him reach the top spot?

No one would have expected JLS to start with such massive sales. It is not as if Robbie is underselling. I hope JLS do it but I am sure EMI will pull out all the stops to ensure Robbie does it.

Leona is a great success but the song is below par, would be great if BEPs beat her. That said, it is still an X Factor influenced top two, grrrr.

[paradise]

i don't think i've ever seen so many tv ads for an album as i have for robbie's..hope he doesn't make number 1 though

[FedFed]

Is Britney out?

or is just digital?

[Madonna's Guy]

I really hope BEPs beat Leona, i'm sorry but i just can't stand that annoying lil' cow! Also, hoping that as much as i hate JLS, i hope they beat Robbie!

[fak]

I doubt BEP's will beat Leona to no1 because the X-Factor performance effects will wear off over the week.


Big sales for Robbie. Not surprised really. Are JLS and Robbie likely to do over 200,000 in the first week?

Theres a very high chance that Cheryl Cole might sell a million albums by Xmas and if not by then definitely in the long run. Her debut solo single makes Spice Girls solo singles sound brilliant. She will probably be the best seller of 2009.
