The January sales are set to send a number of 2010 albums climbing back up the charts, while Rihanna’s What’s My Name could finally be on its way to number one in the singles rundown.
Plan B’s The Defamation of Strickland Banks (679 / Atlantic), which climbed sharply last week after being discounted to as little as £3, currently has the edge on the albums chart, ahead of Rihanna’s fifth album Loud.
Meanwhile on singles, Rihanna featuring Drake’s What’s My Name(Def Jam) looks likely to continue its steady climb to the top of the charts, after a couple of weeks at two behind Matt Cardle’s When We Collide (Syco).
However, it could be a close run thing: What’s My Name currently has a lead of only around 1,000 copies over When We Collide.
3+4=7.
