previously uncharted dance act - last week it was Storm Queen who led the list, and this week it will be 17 year old Dutch wunderkind Martin Garrix whose Animals is set for glory. An instant No.1 after a long gestation, retro-styled dance hit Look Right Through debuted at No.1 for Storm Queen on Sunday on sales of 105,559 copies. First released in the duo’s native USA in 2010, and issued in the UK on Defected the following year, the track became an underground anthem, and exploded after being signed to Ministry Of Sound and given an extensive re-tool. Two earlier 2013 singles by
Little Mix failed to reach the Top 10, so the girls will be pleased that Move - the first single from second album Salute - debuted at No.3 (83,070 sales) on Sunday. The third and last Top 10

t is, as Joni Mitchell said on her classic song The River, “coming on Christmas” - and
the usual end of year frenzy has started in earnest, with the entire top seven albums on last Sunday’s chart being debuts. Tuesday’s midweek sales flashes suggest another bumper intake will pepper the top end of the chart this weekend, with Lady Gaga’s new album Artpop set to take pole position. A week after notching his eighth
No.1 single, Eminem scored his eighth No.1 album on Sunday, debuting in pole position with The Marshall Mathers LP 2, which racked up 143,034 sales in five days. That’s the third highest weekly artist album sale of the year to date. The Marshall Mathers LP 2 is
Eminem’s seventh straight No.1 album, matching the run assembled by The Beatles between 1963 and 1966, and putting him one behind joint record-holders Led Zeppelin (1969-1979) and Abba (1976- 1982), both of whom managed eight in a row. All seven Eminem No.1’s have come since 2000, and he also topped the chart as a member of D12 with the album

Pain (feat Sia) also made the Top 75 (No.67, 3,647 sales). Elsewhere in the Top 10:
Lorde’s Royals dipped 2-4 (46,882 sales), One Direction’s Story Of My Life slipped 4-5 (37,437 sales), OneRepublic’s Counting Stars fell 5-6 (35,890 sales), Fatboy Slim & Riva Starr’s Eat Sleep Rave Repeat (feat. Beardyman) dived 3-9 (26,933 sales) and James Arthur’s You’re Nobody ‘Til Somebody Loves You ebbed 9-10 (24,800 sales). Not released until last

newcomer, Work B**ch! debuted at No.7 (31,783 sales) for Britney Spears, with
Will.I.Am’s prints all over it, it follows the success of the pair’s 2012 collaboration Scream And Shout, which reached No.1 and provides Spears with her 23rd Top 10 entry. Although ceding pole position
to Storm Queen, The Monster sold 96,095 copies (the highest tally for a No.2 for 19 weeks) on its second week on the chart -
28.70% more than it sold to debut at No.1 on five days sales last week for Eminem & Rihanna. With Eminem’s album now also available the complex issue of excluding from the chart three previous songs from the set is also resolved, with the result that the tracks - Berzerk, Survival and Rap God - re-entered at No.30 (10,435 sales), No.34 (8,444 sales) and No.45 (5,975 sales), respectively while Beautiful
Wednesday, Ed Sheeran’s I See Fire - a brand new song from the soundtrack of the new film The Hobbit: The Desolation Of Smaug sold 22,185 copies in four days to debut at No.13. Katy B’s 5AM, taken from
her upcoming (2014) second album Little Red, debuted at No.14 (22,054 sales). Justin Bieber reached the
halfway mark in his Music Monday project, which sees him release a new single every week for 10 weeks debuting at No. 31 (10,421 sales) with Bad Day. Overall singles sales were
down 1.94% week-on-week at 3,080,222 - 8.15% below same week 2012 sales of 3,353,638.

Arthur’s eponymous first album debuted at No.2 on sales of 63,995 copies, thus having a better opening week than the last winners, Little Mix, whose DNA debuted and peaked at No.3 on sales of 53,314 copies last November and has since gone on to sell 315,114 copies. Three years after his debut
album Disc-Overy debuted at No.1 on sales of 84,993 copies, Tinie Tempah’s follow-up
Demonstration debuted at No.3 (29,980 sales). Violinist, conductor and
orchestra leader Andre Rieu was 60 before his first Top 50 album in the UK but, now 64, the Dutchman dubbed the “world’s first classical superstar” and “the king of the waltz” racked up his eighth Top 50 album and his fifth Top 10 entry in less than three years, as Music Of The Night debuted at No.4 (29,261 sales). Without so much as a Top 75
single to their credit, Anglo- Irish/Australian harmony quintet The Overtones racked up their third straight Top 10 album, debuting at No.5 (19,198 sales)
No.1 on Sunday he, and not Eminem, would have had more No.1 albums in the 21st century than any other act but the 34 year old former Westlife star has to settle for a No.6 entry (18,451 sales) for his solo debut set, You & Me. Filan’s debut solo single, Everything To Me, and follow-up About You - which debuts this week at No.54 (4,599 sales) - are both on the album. Ranked only No.50 on the first
of the midweek sales flashes on Tuesday, The Nation’s Favourite Elvis Songs ended up debuting at No.7 (16,923 sales). The Wanted scored their third
straight Top 10 album, debuting at No.9 (14,700 sales) with Word Of Mouth. Five of the album’s tracks have already been Top 10 hits, including the latest, Show Me Love (America), which debuted at No.8 last week but now dives to No.23 (13,798 sales). Overall album sales were up
13.16% week-on-week at 1,745,549 - the ninth highest tally in 45 chart weeks so far in 2013, but 7.47% below same week 2012 sales of 1,886,400.
