hris Brown debuted at two with his first single, Run It!, in 2006, when
just 16 years old. Although a chart regular ever since, he hasn’t managed to improve on that placing but looks set to do so on Sunday, when Turn Up The Music, the first single from upcoming album Fortune, is expected to debut at No.1, replacing Katy Perry’s Part Of Me. Initial sales flashes show Brown’s single dashing to the top of the chart, with more than 35,000 sales to midnight on Monday, more than twice as many copies as Part Of Me. Faced with the prospect of

Somebody That I Used To Know, by Gotye feat. Kimbra, overhauling her own 2008 single I Kissed A Girl as the debut hit with most weeks at No.1 in the last five years, Perry took matters into her own hands by toppling it herself, and securing her third career number one with Part Of Me last Sunday. Debuting at No.1 (79,079 sales), Part Of Me is the first single from Teenage Dream - The Complete Confection, the new, special edition of her album Teenage Dream which, in its

ive Me All Your Luvin’, the first single from Madonna’s MDNA
album, was a huge disappointment peaking at No.37, but the album itself is set to debut atop the chart on Sunday to secure the 53-year-old her 12th No.1 album – a record for a solo artist. Initial sales flashes on Tuesday showed it was outperforming the No.2 album (David Guetta’s Nothing But The Beat) by a margin of nearly five to one, and had already sold more copies to close of business on Monday than Paul Weller’s Sonik Kicks sold all last week to claim the No.1 slot. When it comes to topping the
chart, timing is everything. Paul Weller wasn’t able to get it right in 2010, when his Wake Up The Nation album debuted at No.2, on sales of 52,563, beaten to the punch by AC/DC’s unexpectedly big first week for compilation/ soundtrack Iron Man 2 – but

original state, spawned six Top 20 hits. With five weeks at No.1
apiece, I Kissed A Girl and Somebody That I Used To Know now share the title for the most successful debut hit since... well, it depends on your interpretation. Gnarls Barkley’s first hit Crazy topped the chart for nine weeks in 2006 but the duo’s Cee Lo Green had previously been credited on Sugar (Gimme Some), a Trick Daddy single which reached No.61 the previous year. The last No.1 by an all-new act to spend longer at the top than I Kissed A Girl and
Somebody That I Used To Know was The Spice Girls’ debut hit Wannabe (seven weeks in 1996). Attracting a lot of airplay
from Radio 1, She Doesn’t Mind (No.2, 66,980 sales) is Sean Paul’s 17th chart single since 2002, and his third to reach No.2. His only chart-topper: Breathe, credited to Blu Cantrell feat. Sean Paul, which reached No.1 in 2003, and is also his biggest seller (381,894). The biggest selling single on
Syco in the last 12 months is not One Direction’s debut single What Makes You Beautiful or Little Mix’s Cannonball, or any other act associated with his
blockbuster TV shows; it is singer/songwriter/rapper Labrinth’s Earthquake which reached two last October, and has since gone on to sell 690,188 copies. Also featuring Tinie Tempah, it was the second single from Labrinth’s upcoming debut album Electronic Earth, following Let The Sun Shine, which got to three and sold 311,529 copies. Last Time is the third single from the album, and debuts this week at No.4 (50,229 sales). After the comparative failure
of Do You Feel What I Feel – which peaked at 16 to break their string of eight straight Top 10 hits going back to their debut – Proud restored pride for JLS, debuting at No.6 (44,777 sales). Not on any JLS album, it is a new recording benefitting Sport Relief. You Me At Six were No.19 on
last Thursday’s midweek sales flashes, and looked to be set for their first Top 20 hit – but The Swarm eventually settled at 23 (12,650 sales). As a result, 2011 single Rescue Me (feat. Chiddy) remains their biggest hit, thanks to its No.21 peak. Overall singles sales were up
0.71% week-on-week at 3,103,342 – 4.03% above same- week 2011 sales of 2,983,236.

Weller got it right last Sunday, topping the chart with follow-up Sonik Kicks taking pole position despite a substantially lower first week sale of 30,269. It became Weller’s sixth No.1 album in all, his fourth as a solo artist. With singles Titanium (feat.
Sia) and Turn Me On (feat. Nicki Minaj) remaining in the Top 10, French DJ David Guetta’s Nothing But The Beat album
dashed 9-2 on Sunday to equal the position in which it debuted/ peaked last September. Helped by an appearance on The Graham Norton show, and the fact that the two-CD version of the set and its digital equivalent are widely available for £5.99, the album sold 30,113 copies last week – just 156 fewer than Sonik Kicks – to raise its career sales to 393,485.
59.0% dip in sales to 24,200 and fell 1-3 for Military Wives, as the Mother’s Day effect worked its way out of the figures. Emeli Sandé’s Our Version Of Events and Adele’s 21 sales were slashed by more than half for the same reason, as they dipped 2-4 (24,184 sales) and 3-5 (22,820 sales). Last week’s highest debut, Home Again by Michael Kiwanuka, suffered even more significant fall-off and slid 4-10 (10,863 sales). Five years after their third
album, Wincing The Night Away, gave them their UK chart debut, reaching No.16, The Shins debuted at 11 (10,254 sales) with follow-up, Port Of Morrow. And Swedish band Miike Pop’s second album, Happy To You, debuted at 31 (4,780 sales), three years after their eponymous debut reached 59. Overall album sales were down
23.98% week-on-week to 1,496,743 – their lowest level for 31 weeks, and 19.21% below same- week 2011 sales of 1,852,673.
