No it didn't. What's thread-worthy about it? The sales have been posted in the UK charts thread, and Loud has its own official thread. Sales are strong at this time of year, they're to be expected.

But this year, with Christmas falling on a Saturday, the final weekend before Christmas has already passed, falling into the chart week just gone.

Given that the current week is a "short" week (the final day of the chart week is Christmas Day itself), and without the benefit of a Saturday, then this week is more likely to show declines for most titles, than to show gains.

A big factor, though, will be the weather. Last Saturday wasn't perhaps as big a day at retail as would have been expected, due to the snow chaos. The weather during this week could also have a big impact. Who knows - maybe yesterday (Sunday) was just as, or even busier, than the Saturday.

But I think we've already had the "big" Christmas week.

so expect about 120k-155k?

That's still AMAZING SALESS!!!!!! she is on

X Factor retakes Christmas crown courtesy of Cardle

Monday December 20, 2010
By Alan Jones

Christmas is a time for tradition, so it’s no surprise to find there’s a hint of déjà vu about the charts this week, with The X Factor providing the Christmas number one single for the fifth time in six years, while Take That lead the Christmas album list for the third time in five years.

After last year’s hiccup, when a Facebook campaign delivered Rage Against The Machine’s Killing In The Name to number one, delaying X Factor champion Joe McElderry’s arrival at the chart summit by a week, order is restored, with his newly crowned successor Matt Cardle storming to the summit with his debut single, When We Collide. This year’s two main spoilers, Surfin’ Bird by The Trashmen and John Cage’s 4’33” (Cage Against The Machine), never really challenged, with the vintage Surfin’ Bird debuting at number three (68,477 sales), while Cage’s silent ‘performance’ sold 15,716 copies, to debut at number 21.

Although a number four hit in America in 1964, Surfin’ Bird failed to chart here at the time, eventually surfacing only last year, when it reached number 50, after being featured in an episode of cult TV cartoon favourite The Family Guy. First released digitally in March 2006, Surfin’ Bird barely registered initially, taking 20 weeks to record its first double digit tally but it regularly sells several hundred copies a week nowadays, and had racked up 51,077 sales prior to last week. 4’33” is ostensibly a new version of the track, ‘performed’ by the likes of Suggs, Orbital and Billy Bragg – but we are truly though the looking glass here, with a silent track making the chart for the second time in a matter of weeks. To be strictly accurate, this is the first completely silent chart offering, as The Royal British Legion’s 2 Minute Silence track, issued to mark Remembrance Sunday, contains ambient background noise. It reached number 20 in November, and has sold nearly 19,000 copies to date.

Although Cardle’s victory in The X Factor pulled in a record audience for the show, it converted into only the fifth highest (of seven) first week sales for an X Factor coronation single - When We Collide sold 439,007 copies last week, trailing Shayne Ward’s That’s My Goal (742,180 sales, 2005), Alexandra Burke’s Hallelujah (576,046 sales, 2008), Leona Lewis’s A Moment Like This (571,253 sales, 2006) and Joe McElderry’s The Climb (450,838 sales, 2009) but beating Leon Jackson’s When You Believe (275,742 sales, 2007) and first X Factor winner Steve Brookstein’s Against All Odds, which sold 127,701 copies on its first week in the shops in 2004, though it didn’t get released until after Christmas. In 2008, Burke’s cover of Hallelujah spurred Jeff Buckley’s recording of the song into the Top 10 too - and the same happens this week, with Scots group Biffy Clyro’s Many Of Horror (the original title of When We Collide) re-entering the chart at number eight (40,361 sales), easily beating the number 20 peak it scaled in January.

With the effect of their performance on The X Factor a couple of weeks ago fading, Black Eyed Peas’ The Time (Dirty Bit) slides 1-4 (57,129 sales) but Rihanna’s appearance on the show duetting with Cardle on Unfaithful brings her 2006 number two hit back onto the chart at number 31 (12,561 sales), and brings to five the number of concurrent Top 40 hits to her credit. With airplay kicking in, her latest single, What’s My Name (feat. Drake) zaps 4-2 (104,487 sales) to become her eighth number two hit. Her former number ones Only Girl (In The World) and Love The Way You Lie (feat. Eminem) ebb 5-7 (40,975 sales) and 30-39 (9,234 sales), respectively, while David Guetta collaboration Who’s That Chick eases 9-15 (22,805 sales). Her UK singles sales for 2010 exceed 3m.

Overall it’s a week with few major movements in the chart but the battle for the Christmas number one stimulated business considerably. Sales were up 27.42% week-on-week to 3,558,649 but were 3.25% below same week 2009 sales of 3,678,319, when the Rage Against The Machine/Joe McElderry singles alone sold nearly a million copies between them.

Take That’s Progress cements its position as the biggest seller of 2010, racking up a fifth straight week atop the album chart. The band’s appearance on the Strictly Come Dancing Semi Final results show and The X Factor final within 30 minutes eight days ago helped to generate a massive increase in sales of their records. Progress sold 330,251 copies last week, lifting its 34 day haul to 1,437,287, while first single The Flood, which the band performed on The X Factor, rebounds 15-6 (45,923 sales). They also performed Never Forget with the final three (Matt, Rebecca, One Direction), stimulating a 72.20% increase in sales of the compilation Never Forget: The Ultimate Cololection, which advances 58-41, with sales of 17,977, lifting its career tally to 2,023,660. Robbie Williams also turned up the day before, at The X Factor semi finals, performing She’s The One with One Direction. His In And Out Of Consciousness: The Greatest Hits album canters 14-7 in the wake of this, ending a five week absence from the Top 10. Sales of 81,418 lift its 10 week career tally to 463,699.

Progress has the title of best-selling album of 2010 sewn up, but there’s jockeying for positions behind it. Lady GaGa’s The Fame rises 51-46 on the weekly list, with sales of 15,074 copies, while Michael Buble’s Crazy Love falls 2-3 (138,912 sales). Both top the million sales mark for 2010 – but Buble’s album leapfrogs GaGa’s with year to date sales of 1,039,675 against its rival’s 1,012,057. These are the positions they will hold at the end of the year, reversing their year-end 2009 placings. GaGa’s album still has the edge overall, with career sales of 2,401,021 against Buble’s 2,237,096.

Rihanna has two singles in the Top 10, and sang with Matt Cardle in the X Factor semi final show eight days ago, creating an ideal environment for sales of her latest album, Loud, to massively increase its profile. It responds by rebounding 4-2 with sales up 104.2% to 193,548 – the highest of its five week career.

The only album to debut this week is Michael, a collection of newly completed tracks from the vaults of the late Michael Jackson. The set debuts at number four (113,145 sales).

As in the singles chart, there is little significant chart action taking place but sales are up considerably. Back in June, Christina Aguilera’s Bionic debuted at number one on sales of 24,301 – the same sale was exceeded by the top 30 artist albums and nine compilations last week, as overall sales improved 10.54% week-on-week to 5,724,064. It’s the ninth week in a row they have improved – a 21st century record – though with atrocious weather impacting badly they are more than a million – 16.08% - below same week 2009 sales of 6,820,882. Bionic, incidentally, proved to be anything but superhuman, with sales of just 62,477 in 28 weeks to date.

Topping the compilation chart for the fourth straight week, Now That’s What I Call Music! 77 finally surrenders combined chart honours to Take That’s Progress but it sold a further 188,464 copies last week to increase its lead at the top of the year to date compilation chart, where its tally of 954,558 sales give it the edge of Now! 76 (764,920 sales) and Now! 75 (606,780 sales) in an all Now! top three.

I never realised that compilation albums where so popular over here.
