Rihanna possibly screwed from #1 album in the UK
Midweek Chart update: Now! album outsells rest of compilations market
10:34 | Wednesday November 23, 2011
By Paul Williams
The latest Now That’s What I Call Music album has broken through 130,000 sales just two days after release to outsell the rest of the top 200 compilations combined.
The EMI TV and UMTV release Now! 80 had shifted 134,607 copies by the end of business on Tuesday, according to Official Charts Company figures, around 114,000 copies more than the next biggest compilation, UMTV’s Pop Party 9. Sales so far this week of compilations ranking between positions two and 200 in the market total 123,741 units, about 11,000 units fewer than Now! 80 has sold on its own.
The Now! release will easily become the week’s biggest album seller overall as it is already more than 45,000 sales ahead of Def Jam/Mercury’s newly-issued Rihanna album Talk That Talk, which leads the artist albums market. Around 13,000 sales behind Rihanna in second place on albums is Syco act One Direction first album Up All Night, while the RCA-issued Westlife album Greatest Hits is third, making the top three sellers all new releases.
Meanwhile, in its 44th week on sale, XL’s Adele album 21 could drop out of the Top 10 for the first time this coming Sunday. Having been in eighth position on last Sunday’s chart, it the 11th biggest seller so far this week, although its sales are 17.3% up on the week and it is only a few hundred sales behind Fiction/Polydor act Snow Patrol’s Fallen Empires in 10th spot.
On singles the Def Jam/Mercury single We Found Love by Rihanna featuring Calvin Harris is closing the gap on Epic’s new Olly Murs single Dance With Me Tonight at the top. Having been around 6,400 sales behind a day ago, it has now shortened that gap to 4,000 sales.

Now! won't count for the album chart, though. There's a separate chart for compilations.
