fter finishing third in the eighth season of The X Factor last year, behind
Little Mix and Marcus Collins, 17-year-old Amelia Lily is on course to debut atop the singles chart this weekend with her introductory release, You Bring Me Joy. Coming just a fortnight after Little Mix’s second single Wings flew to the top, You Bring Me Joy sold 27,157 copies by midnight on Monday, to open up a lead of more than 36% at the top of the chart.
In an old-fashioned three-way battle for chart honours last week, Ne-Yo’s Let Me Love You (Until You Learn To Love Yourself ) debuted atop the singles chart, while Hall Of Fame entered at No.2 for The Script feat.

t’s another three weeks before the start of the crucial fourth quarter but the frenzy started
early this year, with a trio of eagerly-awaited albums set to dominate the chart this weekend. Likely to lead the new intake are London band The XX, whose self-titled debut won the 2010 Mercury Music Prize. Follow-up Coexist raced to the top of Tuesday’s sales flashes, with 23,620 takers, enough for it to open up a handy lead over The Script’s third album #3 (19,141) and Bob Dylan’s 35th studio album, The Tempest (18,042). With nothing else selling even 6,000 copies in the same time frame, it is easy to predict these will be the top three albums this coming weekend. As for last weekend, The
Vaccines shot to the top of the chart with their second album Come Of Age racking up first- week sales of 44,395. Recorded in Belgium and Bath, it is the follow-up to What Do You Expect From The Vaccines?, which debuted and peaked at

for 27 August 2011 was topped by Wretch 32’s Don’t Go, which was pursued by Emeli Sandé’s Heaven and Maroon 5’s Moves Like Jagger (feat. Christina Aguilera), making a clean sweep of the medal positions for debuts for the first time since 28 January 2006.

credited to Pitbull feat. Ne-Yo, AfroJack and Nayer. From the UK franchise of The
Voice, coaches Danny O’Donoghue,
will.i.am and O’Donoghue’s band The Script have blended their styles to come up with Hall Of Fame, which debuted at two on Sunday, on sales of 77,841 copies. Number one on initial sales
flashes, Blow Me (One Last Kiss) was unable to sustain its winning start but still managed to sell 70,207 copies to debut at three
for Pink. The first single from her upcoming album The Truth About Love, it is the 15th Top 10 hit for Pink as a primary artist. In a more frenetic era, it was not that unusual for the top three singles to be debuts – occasionally even the top four, five and, on two occasions, the top six would all be new entries. But that era has largely passed, and this week’s all- new top three is only the second such configuration in more than six years. It is just over a year since it last happened - the chart
In pursuit of his fourth straight top five hit from current album Wild Ones, Flo Rida made a slowish start with I Cry. His 18th hit since 2008 – 14 of them as the primary artist – I Cry debuts at 11 (27,739 sales). Of previous Wild Ones singles, Good Feeling got to No.1 the title track (feat. Sia) to four and Whistle to two. The album itself holds at 121 (1,075 sales). Plan B’s Ill Manors reached
No.6 in April, and it has taken a while for follow-up Deepest Shame to emerge. It is off and running now, however, and leapt 104-27 (10,703 sales) last weekend, while also helping to maintain interest in the Ill Manors soundtrack, which moves 7-6 (13,461 sales). Overall singles sales were
down 3.78% week-on-week at 3,312,039 - 6.64% above same- week 2011 sales of 3,105,671.

blistering success at Reading and Leeds festivals over the August bank holiday, Two Door Cinema Club’s Beacon blazed to a No.2 debut on sales of 33,306 copies. That’s a much-improved opening compared to the Northern
Ireland trio’s first album, Tourist History, which debuted at 46 (5,071 sales) in March 2010, and peaked 62 weeks later at 24. It bounced 135-35 last week but now slips back to 41, with 2,527 sales in the week raising its career tally to 266,389.

phenomenally successful band before going solo, Dire Straits legend Mark Knopfler is now 63 but continues to release albums at a prodigious rate. Privateering is his eighth new set since 2000, and his longest, with the shortest version available containing 20 songs and 90 minutes of music, while a deluxe edition adds five more songs and has a playing time of two hours. It debuted at eight (10,973 sales) on Sunday, giving Knopfler the 17th Top 10 album of his entire career, including solo, Dire Straits and collaborative efforts. Scouting For Girls reached
No.1 with This Ain’t A Love Song, the introductory single from their last album but two years on, Summertime In The City - the first single from their third album, The Light Between Us – reached only No.72 a fortnight ago. The album itself fared better, debuting at 10 (10,406 sales) on Sunday. Overall album sales were
down 4.73% week-on-week at 1,416,278, and 14.51% below same-week 2011 sales of 1,656,672.
