Hey JB, do you think we will actually get figures for both LM's singles and album on Friday chart update? (Well today )
If no, do you have a prediction/guess on where they could be at on Salute ?

Hey Chem, there is usually data available on a Friday. This week has been strangely quiet with sales.

Singles I'd say anything from 40k-55k this week.
Hopefully, they'll be around 35k at the moment with Salute - I can't imagine they'd be that far behind Celine and she was on 30k on Wednesday's update I think. The album is great though so it deserves to have good long term sales.

Ok great.I'm hoping they match their first album sales from first week hopefully. We still have the weekend.
Thank you

Thanks. James is only down 1?
Good to see 1D back in the top 40.

His album has held up well. It's more impressive seeing as Gaga has tumbled from #1 last week to #9 in the midweeks. YNTSLY hasn't done great though considering he had a lot of radio support. 1D will probably sell shedloads next week when their new album comes out.

I agree, although I don't think his singles are meant to be chart toppers, as long as his album holds up he should be ok.
