UK ARTIST ALBUMS CHART
t's tough to determine what will be the number one single this weekend - but one thing that seems certain is that, after 12 straight weeks in which the number one sold more than 100,000, the race for chart honours will be won with a much lesser total. Robin Thicke's Blurred Lines returned to pole position on Tuesday's midweek sales flashes, and could secure its fifth non-consecutive week at the summit but John Newman's Love Me Again - which debuted at number one last Sunday - and new releases Brokenhearted by Lawson (feat. B.o.B) and Reload by Sebastian Ingrosso/Tommy Trash/John Martin are all within 10% and could easily overturn its lead. Newman's debut solo single
Love Me Again took over at the top of the singles chart from Icona Pop's I Love It (feat.

ay-Z seems sure to score his first ever UK number one album this weekend, with
12th studio effort Magna Carta...Holy Grail selling more than four times as many copies as any other album on a particularly lacklustre midweek sales flash on Tuesday. It's not that Jay-Z's album is selling at an unusually fast rate - it had shifted little more than 17,000 copies in the week's first snapshot - but nothing else had sold even 4,000 copies in the same timeframe. Festival fever took hold of the

chart in a big way last weekend - and the obvious winners were Mumford & Sons. The folk/rock favourites closed Glastonbury Festival, and were rewarded with a major surge in sales for both of their albums. Second album Babel rocketed 16-1 with sales increasing 195.50% week-on-week to 25,580. It is the third time the 2012 album has been number one but the first time for 38 weeks. Their 2009 debut, Sigh No More, soared 37-12 (9,998 sales, up 218.80%), returning to the Top 20 after a 36 week absence. Babel was also boosted by airplay for the title track, which is now officially the new single from the album, and re-entered the chart at a new peak (number 76, 3,699

Charli XCX) last Sunday, on sales of 124,885 copies. Pausing at number two,
Blurred Lines sold a further 87,429 copies last week for Robin Thicke (Feat. T.I. and Pharrell), and moved to within 83,974 copies of its millionth sale.
Falling to number three a
week after debuting at number one, I Love It sold 80,970 copies last week for Icona Pop. Finishing seventh out of 11 acts in the finals of Britain's Got Talent last month, 15 year old Gabz nevertheless caused quite a
stir with her song Lighters (The One), which was fast-tracked for release, and debuted at number six (44,491 sales). Meanwhile, all three concurrent chart hits from The Voice UK finalist Leah McFall crash out of the Top 200, as do those by the competition winner, Andrea Begley, including My Immortal, which was number 30 only a week ago. Lost And Not Found became Chase & Status' third Top 10 title, rising 15-9 (39,197 sales). The Saturdays scored the first number one hit of their career last time out, debuting atop the list with Sean Paul collaboration What About Us in March. Their 12th Top 10 hit, it stormed to the title on sales of 114,259 copies. Follow-up Gentleman opened
significantly less strongly at number 14 (29,822 sales). Overall singles sales were
down 1.37% week-on-week at 3,599,852 – 4.98% above same week 2012 sales of 3,429,164.

sales) having reached number 94 as an album track last September. It was a Babel Vs. Buble stand-off at the top of the charts, as Michael Buble's latest album, To Be Loved, also made a powerful play for the title. It jumped 4-2 (25,365 sales), following ITV's screening of the documentary feature Michael Buble's Day Off. Editors also performed a
well-received and televised set at Glastonbury but their fourth album, The Weight Of Your Love, had the worst opening week of any of their releases thus far, debuting at number six with 13,820 sales. Their debut album The Back Room opened lower - at number 13 in August
2005 - but on higher sales of 17,627, and peaked 25 weeks later at number two, achieving its highest weekly sale of 39,148 as it did so, a couple of weeks after Munich became the first of their two Top 10 singles. The Back Room eventually sold 549,959 copies, and remains Editors' biggest seller. Its success helped tee-up number one debuts for subsequent releases An End Has A Start in 2007 (59,406 sales) and 2009's In This Light And On This Evening (30,669 sales). In the Top 20 and reaping
more obvious benefits from Glastonbury than Editors: Arctic Monkeys' Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not
jumped 32-15 (7,438 sales), The Lumineers' eponymous debut improves 21-16 (7,361 sales), Ben Howard's Every Kingdom climbed 31-18 (6,963 sales), The Rolling Stones' Grrr! leaps 49-20 (6,688 sales). Many of the albums also received a boost last week, as did Jake Bugg's self-titled debut which raced 27-5 a fortnight ago, and climbed to number four (16,265 sales) on Sunday. Bastille's Bad Blood also has a more subtle boost, moving 13-11 (10,196 sales), while Rudimental's Home advances 11-9 (10,879 sales). Tom Odell's debut album dipped 1-3 (18,621 sales) as the positive effect of his performance at the festival is less powerful than the widely experienced second week slump that hits most albums. Rod Stewart and Passenger are punished for not being at Glastonbury, with the former's Time and the latter's All The Little Lights slipping 2-5 (14,143 sales) and 3-7 (12,889 sales). Completing the Top 10, Olly Murs’ Right Place Right Time held at number eight (10,952 sales) and Bruno Mars’ Unorthodox Jukebox dipped 9-10 (10,453 sales). Overall album sales of 1,505,460
were up 0.29% week-on-week, and 2.05% below same week 2012 sales of 1,536,945.
