Les Midweeks - June 10

Singles

Mint Royale, which received a boost from its use in the final of ITV1’s Britain’s Got Talent, is more than 3,000 sales ahead of its nearest competitor, Rihanna’s Take A Bow (Def Jam). Elsewhere, the singles top ten looks likely to remain largely static, with Feeder set to score the highest new entry. Their We Are the People (Echo) should challenge for a top ten placing.

good to see the album sticking, people are really negative about it, but other high profile albums like the kooks, mariah, the feeling have fared much much worse!

Don't know about the Kooks but Mariah's last album sold less than half of COADF in the UK. In fact Mariah has not been a big album seller in the UK since the 90s. The Feeling have had one hit album and have struggled with their second album but they have no massive expectation.

The expectations for Madonna are much higher, based on her own tremendous history throughout her career. Hence the dissapointment over HC sales so far.

COLDPLAY - NEW COLDPLAY ALBUM SET TO SMASH SALES RECORDS

Coldplay's fourth album, Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends, is likely to become the biggest selling album of the year, according to online retailer Play.com.

The entertainment website says it expect the four-piece's new release to achieve its biggest pre-sale order ever.

Customers have been snapping up copies of the Brian Eno-produced album at the rate of one every minute during peak times and it looks set to exceed the sales figures of the hugely successful Spirit, by X Factor winner Leona Lewis.

And while Violet Hill, the first single from Chris Martin and co, was released as a free download, Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends is currently receiving more pre-orders than the rest of Play.com's entire top 40 pre-order albums combined.

It has also seen 20 per cent more pre-orders than Lewis's Spirit had at the same point.

"People talk about the death of the music industry, but this proves that the right title can still break records," said Helen Marquis, Play.com's head of music.

"The new album should be the biggest of the year, but with upcoming new albums from the likes of Dido, Amy Winehouse, Take That and Oasis, this is going to be a phenomenal year for British music."

She added: "We have not seen an album pre-order to quite these levels before. The previous record holder was Leona Lewis."

Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends is released on June 12th.

That's what happens when you have a huge TV/Radio advertising campaign and do plenty of high profile TV promo.

Warners really weren't fucked Hard Candy after all.

^ Exactly. And it is being released in spring, with illegal dowloads etc etc.... These reasons to justify low sales are tiring because they apply to everyone

On the other hand, Coldplay's previous album sold twice as much as COADF, and no Madonna studio album ever sold that much, so I say the comparison with Coldplay is quite irrelevant.
