Even if its #40, thats better than being out of the top 40

[Guest tir69]

Wonder if it's the sales effect!

I think HMV did a nice price and this is the reason

[debord]

Apparently it’s higher than it was on Sunday. And if that’s after 1 day of the HMV sale, then I think we can expect it to rise further after today and Saturday.

[Queen Bitch]

So it may well do 300,000 in the UK before the year's out.

So, we could be looking closer to #30 then?...hopefully this helps it for a bit longer, until Miles Away gets into full swing

[markm]

I just did a quick price check HC is being sold at the following prices

HMV £5.99

SendIt £6.89

Asda £6.93

Amazon UK £5.98

Base.com £7.95

PowerPlayDirect £7.99

iTunes (digital download) £7.99

Blah DVD £8.05

Tesco (Jersey) £8.93

Play.com £8.95

Zavvi £9.00

[Guest Johnkm]

^ Those are all farily sensible prices

[FedFed]

wow... a low price is helping a lot Rihanna but not Madonna.

Could be cause of disturbia?

So why Warner doesn't do anything with Miles Away?

stupid.....again

Eh? HMV is the only major music retailer in that list and its mid-price is already helping Hard Candy.

[franxisco66]

Rihanna's album has actually BEEN promoted, has 6-7 singles (3 of which are strong single)., a re-release, and IMO it is a better album than HC.

[Guest Johnkm]

Rihanna has a massive positive buzz, huge promo, many successful singles etc. Madge had little to no promo for Hard Candy and a mediocre reception for this album, so HMV's price is going to nothing but good, its still not super cheap, so people think it needs to be reduced as it isnt selling, its a sensible price for it.

[aeroco]

About time HC was reduced. It may be well into the top 30 by the time Sunday's chart is announced.

Any estimate on Hard Candy's cumulative sales? Has it broken 290,000 yet?

[Zezwer]

Rihanna's album has actually BEEN promoted, has 6-7 singles (3 of which are strong single)., a re-release, and IMO it is a better album than HC.

It's not better, but it's still a good album.

The singles though have been stronger, at least Umbrella & Don't Stop the Music.

[just!ce]

any midweek news?

Interesting. I didn't see last week's X Factor, how was this part of the show? And is this Faith Hill's biggest-ever UK hit aside from I'll Be Missing You?

There was an auditionee whose mum had died and she sang that song in the audition.
