UK Midweek Charts Roundup - Friday 12th Nov

So...it’s Friday and Rihanna’s still on top! Could it be possible that Take That’s hoard of middle aged fans will be powerless to topple the Bajan R’n’B Queen? Only time will tell, and we know it’s close, but she only has to last two more days...nail biting stuff eh?

The rest of the top five remains the same with Mcfly, Katy Perry and Adele in that order. However, today we see Mr X Factor 2005 himself Shayne Ward tumble down from #6 to #9, making way for Cheryl Cole, Bruno Mars and Mike Posner to make their way up the charts.

Alexis Jordan rounds off the top ten as yesterday, whilst P!nk is STILL at #12. However, good news for the Black Eyed Peas who, since cracking the top twenty yesterday have shot up to #14 today with ‘The Time (Dirty Bit).

Over on the albums scene, its a Susan Boyle led affair, with Bon Jovi and Cheryl Cole completing the top threesome, followed by our current Star Power artist James Blunt and Kings Of Leon completing the top five. Cee Lo Green comes in at #9 and where's Nadine Coyle, well, we don't know...but she's definitely not in the top 40...

UK Midweek Charts Roundup - Thursday 11th Nov

Well...since our very proud post yesterday when we were overjoyed at our correct prediction that the charts were subject to massive changes this week...nothing has in fact happened today. Sucks we know.

Rihanna maintains her hold on the #1 spot, but only by 6,000 sales, so Take That, who currently reside at #2 have a very strong chance of reclaiming that spot before Sunday’s chart. We won’t be at all surprised if they do make it to the top however, considering the hype surrounding them and their much awaited X Factor performance on Sunday evening.

McFly, Katy Perry and Adele are all still sitting comfortably within the top five, with Shayne Ward just outside at #6.

P!nk remains at #12, (We don’t understand why nothing’s happening for her?!) whilst the Black Eyed Peas’ lead single from their latest LP, ‘The Time (Dirty Bit)’ comes in at #19.

Let’s hope for more changes tomorrow...

UK Midweek Charts Roundup - Wednesday 11th Nov

Now...didn’t we tell you that anything could happen in this week’s chart?! It looks like we were right with our prediction, as Rihanna has, for the moment, toppled Take That and claimed the #1 spot for herself! That’s right, the Queen of R’n’B has managed to single handedly push the newly reunited five part man band down to #2.

McFly maintain their #3 position, and are therefore on track to claim their 16^th top five hit single, (crazy, huh?!) whilst both Katy Perry and Adele rise up one place to complete the top five, due to Shayne Ward’s drop down to #6 with his comeback single.

The rest of the top ten is made up by Cheryl, Bruno, Mike and Alexis, whilst poor old P!nk is stuck in the #12 position with ‘Raise Your Glass.’

Make sure you’re back tomorrow to check who’s at the top and even who’s in the top five...

UK Midweek Charts Roundup - Tuesday 9th Nov

So...another week...another #1 by the looks of things, as the newly whole Take That take to the top spot with their latest single ‘The Flood,’ selling 34,000 copies. Rihanna isn’t too far behind though, currently taking the #2 spot with almost 32,000 sales this week.

McFly’s newest offering ‘Shine A Light,’ featuring Taio Cruz, is standing at #3 at the moment, with just over 23,000 copies of their single sold, whilst Shayne Ward rides high after his X Factor performance at #4 with 18,000 sales. Katy Perry is completing the top 5, but as you can see, it’s a close neck thing...

Adele has risen into the top 10 yet AGAIN after Rebecca Ferguson’s heart rendering performance of ‘Make You Feel My Love’ on Saturday’s main X Factor show, whilst Cheryl Cole falls to #7 with ‘Promise This.’

Elsewhere we see P!nk’s greatest hits single ‘Raise Your Glass’ hovering outside the top 10 at #12, ahead of The Saturdays at #15.

Over on the albums chart, we see Susan Boyle’s reigning with her sophomore effort ‘The Gift,’ which has racked up 30,000 sales, and is followed by Bon Jovi, Cheryl Cole, James Blunt and Kings Of Leon in that order.

Seeing as it’s all quite close at the moment, make sure you tune back tomorrow for your next update ;)

UK Midweek Charts Roundup - Saturday 6th Nov

So my lovelies, it’s time for our last chart update of the week! Sad faces all round...

Rihanna is still keeping a strong gasp on the top spot, with Cheryl Cole and newcomer Alexis Jordan looking at the #2 and #3 positions respectively, whilst Bruno and Katy round out the rest of the top five.

Duck Sauce has ousted Shakespears Sister from the #9 spot, seeing them tumble down to #12 after a week of good sales. However, pop quintuplet The Saturdays, with a little help from Flo Rida, have managed to nudge their way back into the very end of the top ten.

Poor old Nadine is still stalled at #24, despite claims that she’s “happy” with the sales of the single. Yeah right.

So...until Tuesday...

Uk Midweek Charts Roundup - Thursday 4th November

So chart buffs, we’re still looking at a Rihanna, Cheryl, Alexis, Bruno and Katy top five this week and in that order, and that is not likely to change too much before we hit Sunday’s charts.

Further down the chart we see Shakespears Sister still selling well at #9, whilst Duck Sauce’s ‘Barbra Streisand’ has risen back up to the #10 spot, although they’re currently just 182 sales ahead of The Saturdays, who’ve sold a solid 19,295 copies of their Flo Rida collaboration ‘Higher.’

will.i.am and Nicki Minaj rest at #12, 1,094 copies of their single ‘Check It Out’ behind The Saturdays, whilst B.o.B. and Rivers Cuomo come in at #16.

Nadine is still struggling further down the chart, currently at #24, one place above Roll Deep and Alesha Dixon at #25.

Cheryl Cole is still ahead on the album chart, shifting over 70,000 copies of her sophomore ‘Messy Little Raindrops,’ with Bon Jovi’s greatest hits LP in second place with 56,000 sales. The top five is completed with Rumer, Kings Of Leon and Jamiroquai.

See you tomorrow where we’ll see if Nadine can ever crack the top twenty...

Uk Midweek Charts Roundup - Wednesday 3rd November

So, whilst Rihanna’s still top dog at the #1 spot, it looks as though a certain Miss Cole wasn’t too happy with being shoved down to #3 and as such has switched places with Alexis Jordan for the #2 place.

Alexis is still followed by Bruno Mars and Katy Perry to round off the top five, with Cee-Lo, Posner and Nelly following up.

Elsewhere in the chart we see a swarm of new entries in the top thirty, with Tinchy Styder and Taio Cruz at #21, Roll Deep and Alesha Dixon at #25 and Nadine Coyle scrabbling up the chart from #35 to #26 so we may just see a top twenty placing for her yet...

Over on the albums chart, it’s looking pretty clear that Cheryl will be nabbing the #1 spot, followed by Bon Jovi, Rumer, Kings Of Leon and Jamiroquai. Bad news for Joe McElderry though, who’s album ‘Wide Awake’ slips down to #19.

Catch you tomorrow ;) 

Uk Midweek Charts Roundup - Tuesday 2nd Oct

Looks like our predictions were right people, after her crazy performance on Sunday night’s X Factor Results Show, Rihanna has swept to the top of the midweeks with her single ‘Only Girl (In The World)!’

Cheryl Cole isn’t even following her, as newcomer Alexis Jordan settles in at #2 with her debut ‘Happiness,’ which we love her at The Ice, Spice and Vice Files. This means that Queen Cole (Well...she more or less is anyway) takes the #3 spot at the moment. But don’t fear Cheryl, you’re looking at a #1 album instead so it’s all good.

Completing the top five at the moment are Bruno Mars and Katy Perry who’s most likely still in demand due to her single ‘Firework’ appearing so close to the Firework Night on 5^th November.

Elsewhere we see Shakespears Sister return to the top ten with their 1992 #1 hit ‘Stay,’ after Cher Lloyd’s performance of the track on The X Factor on Saturday, whilst The Saturday’s collaboration with Flo Rida, ‘Higher,’ comes in at #10, but with only 400 more sales than will.i.am and Nicki Minaj who, for now, stick to the #11 spot.

Unfortunately for Girls Aloud star Nadine Coyle, her debut solo single ‘Insatiable’ has stalled at #35 so far this week although we may see sales pick up as the physicals are released...let’s hope so for her sake...

See you tomorrow chart freaks, oh, and say a prayer for Miss Coyle before bedtime tonight ;)

Uk Midweek Charts Roundup - Tuesday 20th Oct

So Midweeks Boffs, it looks as though Bruno Mars is getting close to regaining his #1 slot after 3 weeks of being usurped by Tinie Tempah and Cee-Lo Green, which means that The Wanted are still looking at a #2 placing this week with their single ‘Heart Vacancy.’

The rest of the top 5 remains the same, with Duck Sauce at #3, Cee-Lo Green at #4 and Mike Posner at #5. However, Katy Perry has jumped up 3 places to occupy the #6 position with her latest offering ‘Firework,’ despite the criticisms circulating around her live vocals on Sunday’s X Factor performance.

There’s less movement for fellow X Factor performer Diana Vickers, whose wicked heart stays stuck at #12. Look on the bright side though D, at least you’re not Joe McElderry, who has slipped down to #20. *Winces*

See you tomorrow :-)

Uk Midweek Charts Roundup - Tuesday 19th Oct

It looks as though we may see an end to Cee-Lo Green’s reign at the top this week, as Bruno Mars moves back up to the #1 spot after selling 50,000 copies of his single ‘Just The Way You Are,’ most probably after Matt Cardle’s X Factor performance of the track on Saturday.

The Wanted’s follow up to their chart topper ‘All Time Low,’ ‘Heart Vacancy’ has fired up to second place, with sales of 20,000 copies so far. Duck Sauce is still selling strong, occupying the #3 position, with Cee-Lo Green and Mike Posner rounding off the rest of the top 5.

Elsewhere, we see several other new entries crack the top 10, such as N-Dubz’s latest offering at #6, and, with thanks to her X Factor performance, we see Katy Perry’s Firework debuting at #9. Jay Sean and Nicki Minaj’s ‘2012 (It Ain't The End)’ completes the bottom of the top 10.

Further down the chart we see Diana Vickers at #12 with ‘My Wicked Heart,’ which has stalled after her promising live X Factor performance. Unfortunately for Joe McElderry, after debuting at #6 with his sophomore track ‘Ambitions,’ he’s now looking at a #17 placing in this week’s chart, whilst Pixie Lott also tumbles down to #21.

Make sure you’re back tomorrow for the latest instalment!

UK Midweek Charts Roundup - Thursday 14th Oct

Hello chart beans! Remember yesterday when we said check back tomorrow to see if Duck Sauce can beat Cee-Lo and whether Joe could finally crack the top 3?! Well guess what...none of these things have happened. We know, it’s all looking a bit dull on the chart front today.

Cee-Lo is still sitting (not so) pretty at the top spot, followed by Duck Sauce, Bruno Mars, Joe McElderry and Tinie Temper in that order. Just the same as yesterday really. Whatever happened to those good old chart battles of yore hmmm?

Towards the lower end of the chart, Pixie Lott still finds herself in the middle an interesting sandwich between Travie McCoy at #10 and Usher at #11...Not sure whether she’s a lucky girl or not :S

As there’s not much going down on the singles front, we thought we’d cast a rare glance at those albums, where it’s apparent that you were right to select Robbie as this week’s Star Power, as he’s already topping the albums chart, ahead of Tinie Tempah’s ‘The Discovery’ at #2 and Cliff’s ‘Bold As Brass’ at #3. The Script and Magnetic Man make up the rest of the top 5. What a mix.

Check back tomorrow to see if anything's changed...but let's not hold our breath...

UK Midweek Charts Roundup - Wednesday 13th Oct

Cee-Lo Green is still outselling his rivals to keep his obscene claws on the top spot, but is being closely followed by Duck Sauce and ‘Barbra Streisand,’ which keep their #2 spot despite their two positions now being combined. Bruno Mars is still hanging around at #3, closely followed by reigning X Factor champ Joe McElderry, who’s #4 position has not had its sales combined with its position further down in the chart. Tempah rounds off the top 5.

Usher is still holding steady at #11 after his X Factor performance, just behind Pixie Lott’s ‘Broken Arrow’ at #10. Further down the top 15 is Michael Bublé with his new track ‘Hollywood.’

Elsewhere, ‘Mad World’ is still enjoying its X Factor revival at #18, whilst B.o.B.’s ‘Airplaines’ finds itself hauled back up into the top 30, alongside another of Usher’s live performances ‘OMG.’

Check back tomorrow to see if Duck Sauce can outrun Cee-Lo and if Joe McElderry can finally oust Bruno from his top 3 spot...

UK Midweek Charts Roundup - Tuesday 12th Oct

So, back to the chart drawing board people! Cee-Lo Green looks set to maintain his grip on the #1 spot, meaning that we could have our second two week spanning #1 since Alexandra Burke’s ‘Start Without You.’ His closest competition comes from Duck Sauce with their dance track ‘Barbara Streisand,’ which also holds a place at #32.

Bruno Mars is still selling strongly and as a result keeps his track ‘Just The Way You Are’ high up the charts at #3. Joe McElderry is doing well but appears to have stalled a little at #4 with his single ‘Ambitions’ which can also be found at #27. The top 5 is rounded off by Tinie Tempah’s ‘Written In The Stars.’

Elsewhere, Travie McCoy re-enters the chart at #9 with his Bruno Mars collaboration ‘Billionaire’ thanks to FYD’s performance on The X Factor this weekend, whilst Pixie Lott looks set to round up the top 10 at the moment with ‘Broken Arrow.’

As a result of ‘The X Factor Effect,’ several other tracks have also benefitted, such as Usher’s ‘DJ Got Us Fallin’ In Love’ which is a couple of spaces outside the top 10, Michael Andrews and Gary Jules’ ‘Mad World’ in the top 20 and Coldplay’s ‘Viva La Vida’ appearing at the #33 position.

UK Midweek Charts Roundup - Friday 8th Oct

So, Cee-Lo Green still looks set to steal Robbie and Gary’s hopes of a joint #1 away this weekend, with his provocatively-titled-and-not-at-all-contrived-but-we-love-it-anyway single ‘Fuck You.’ R and G’s ‘Shame’ is still holding the #2 spot however, keeping Tinie and Turner’s ‘Written In The Stars’ down at #3.

Tinie has also maintained his second top 5 entry ‘Miami 2 Ibiza’ with Swedish House Mafia which is currently at #5, just below soppy ballad ‘Just The Way You Are.’

Kings Of Leon are holding steady at #7, above Adele, Taio Cruz and Katy Perry who form the rest of this week’s top 10.

Unfortunately for Miss Kylie Minogue, ‘Get Outta My Way’ has plummeted down to #29...and nobody’s entirely sure why...See you next week midweeks-a-holics :)

Uk Midweek Charts Roundup - Tuesday 5th Oct

Another week and yet ANOTHER single on track for the #1 spot! This time it looks like a battle between Cee-Lo Green with ‘Fuck You’ vs Robbie Williams and Gary Barlow with ‘Shame’ to claim this week’s top spot. Currently Cee-Lo is ahead of the Take That duo, shifting around 40k copies, ahead of Williams/Barlow’s 27k.

The Tempah/Turner collaboration has slipped a couple of places to #3, ahead of Bruno Mars’ ‘Just The Way You Are’ at #4. A new entry at #5 is Sweedish House Mafia featuring chart regular Tinie Tempah with their collaboration ‘Miama 2 Ibiza,’ making it Tempah’s second position in the top 5.

Labrinth has dropped down to #6, ahead of Kings of Leon’s new entry ‘Radioactive’ which currently resides at #7. Last week’s chart heavyweights Taio Cruz and Adele fall to the #8 and #9 spots respectively whilst Katy Perry clings to the end of the top ten.

You know the drill...pop back tomorrowwww!

UK Midweek Charts Roundup - Friday 1st Oct

Hello there chart fanatics :-D

So it’s Friday...and our last day of Midweek updates before the big chart happening on Sunday! And it looks as if there’s a few last minute changes...

Although Mr Tempah looks almost certain to cinch yet another #1 this weekend, it would seem that his bezzie Labrinth has been shunted into third place with ‘Let The Sun Shine,’ whilst Bruno Mars has hopped up to the #2 spot.

Adele and Taio Cruz are still sitting pretty in the #4 and #5 spots and it’s unlikely that this will change before Sunday. Katy Perry maintains her #6 position, whilst the hypnotising Iglesias/Scherzinger ballad ‘Heartbeat’ sticks at #8.

Now...the news everyone’s been waiting for...has a certain pert bottomed Miss K Minogue managed to scrape her way back into the top ten? No. In fact she’s done the opposite...and slipped down yet another place to the #12 spot. Oops...

UK Midweek Charts Roundup - Thursday 30th Sept

Hello midweekers! Today it looks like we’re playing the waiting game, as not much has changed since yesterday.

Tempah remains at #1 with Labrinth trailing behind with his debut at #2. This week’s #1 Bruno Mars keeps his grip on the #3 spot with Adele and Taio Cruz rounding off the top 5.

Katy Perry’s ‘Teenage Dream’ lingers at #6, whilst Iglesias/Scherzinger ballad ‘Heartbeat’ sticks at #8. Bad news for Alexandra Burke who, after an ungainly fall from the top spot to #5 last week is now looking at a #10 placing this week.

Meanwhile, Kylie still hasn’t amassed enough sales to break into the top 10, keeping her position one place about Eminem/RiRi at #11. Shontelle has also fallen from the top spot to #13.

Looks like Minogue’s going to have to up her game if she wants to get a decent placing...

Uk Midweek Charts Roundup - Wednesday 29th Sept

So...it’s Wednesday and not much has changed! Mr Tempah is still holding out in the top spot, keeping workmate Labrinth stuck at #2 which I doubt will do much for Simon Cowell’s blood pressure...

Bruno Mars keeps his position at #3 whilst Adele should be pleased with her current #4 place with ‘Make You Feel My Love.’  Taio Cruz rounds off the top 5 with the ever popular ‘Dynamite.’

The interest today lies towards the bottom of the top 10...whilst Enrique and Nicole have managed to claw their way up to #8 with their duet ‘Hearbeat,’ Kylie has slipped out of the top 10 completely, just managing to stick her heels in at the #11 spot. I thought it was everyone else who was meant to be getting outta her way?

Pop back tomorrow for the latest news...

UK Midweek Charts Roundup - Tuesday 28th Sept

So another week and another promising looking #1, after Bruno Mars sped to the top of the charts this week selling nearly 83,000 copies of his single ‘Just The Way You Are.’ Set to knock Mars off the top spot is the UK’s new favourite Hip-Hop artist Tinie Tempah with his Eric Turner collaboration ‘Written In The Stars,’ which has already shifted 54,000 sales in the first two days of its release.

Following Tempah is former collaborator Labrinth, who featured in both ‘Pass Out’ and ‘Frisky,’ who is currently at #2 with his debut ‘Let The Sun Shine.’ This is marginally ahead of the current #1 by Bruno Mars although this could all swap around over the course of the week.

Adele has rocketed back into the charts after the ‘X Factor Effect,’ which has taken her former #26 and #24 charting single ‘Make You Feel My Love,’ into the #4 spot today. Whilst this might slip down a bit over the course of the week, she looks set for a top ten placing.

Towards the lower end of the top ten we see Kylie edging up the charts with her second ‘Aphrodite’ single ‘Get Outta My Way,’ jumping from its current #48 position and Enrique & Nicole jump up to #9 with ‘Hearbeat.’

See you tomorrow people ;-)

UK Midweek Charts Roundup - Friday 24th

So Bruno is still storming ahead and it's looking certain that he will be cinching his first ever UK #1 this Sunday, whilst Taio Cruz is continuing to look comfortable at #2 with KPerry at #3.


Meanwhile Emma's poor Imagination has been given a bit of a shove down the charts from #4 to #6, with The Script stealing her spot whilst Alexandra Burke should be celebrating the fact that she's managed to claw her way back into the top 5 with 'Start Without You.'


Eminem (& Ri) and Shontelle manage to keep their #7 and #8 places, although Alex Guadino is slowly edging up the chart from #10 to #9, so Shontelle had better keep looking over her shoulder...


So although it looks as if we've got a guaranteed new #1, the rest of the top 10 is all to play for.


See you soon, you know you want to ;-)
