Coldplay fend off competition from James Blunt

04 July 2005 - 10:32:12

 

 

Last week was one of the quietest of the year, with no new entries to the Top 20 artist albums, and only three to the Top 20 singles, writes Alan Jones.

 

Yet it was a good week for sales, with growth in both singles and albums sectors.

 

Artist albums were up 9.6% at 2,359,761 with compilations improving by 18.9% to 562,432,. Overall, the sector showed growth of 11.3% at 2,922,193.

 

At the top of the artist album chart, Coldplay's X&Y just held off a challenge from James Blunt by increasing its sales 3.4% to 103,598. Blunt's Back To Bedlam was just 2.6% behind. The number one album has sold upwards of 100,000 for each of the last six weeks, having done so only twice in the previous 20 chart weeks of 2005.

 

The first album to open its account with four weeks in a row at number one since Beyonce's Dangerously In Love two years ago, X&Y is a certainty to become the first million selling album of 2005, and should reach the target within the next fortnight, having so far sold 907,239 copies.

 

A former public schoolboy and soldier, James Blunt is not your regular chartmaker - and neither his current single or album has any regard for convention either. You're Beautiful - the third single from Blunt's debut album - has built and built in the way singles used to with weekly sales moving 11,607-13,260-16,488-23,923-32,635, while the album - Back To Bedlam - has increased sales for a remarkable 11 weeks in a row, and has moved 5-4-3-2-2 in the last five weeks. It sold 100,881 copies last week - an increase of 31.8% - to take its overall sales to 446,181.

 

Overtaking Reverence to become Faithless' biggest selling album, Forever Faithless: The Greatest Hits spends its seventh straight week in the top five, rebounding to number three, though its sales are far lower than the top two. The album sold 38,682 copies last week to take its cume to 377,668 even though Faithless's recent single Why Go?, featuring Estelle, failed to ignite, reaching a peak of number 49 in May. Faithless is one of the few dance acts to translate singles success into album sales, and have thus far sold upwards of 1.5m .

 

In an album chart still distorted by the effect of summer clearance sales, there are many resurgent catalogue items, though none as old as the Beach Boys' Pet Sounds.

 

In the last 10 years, the classic 1966 album has been in the Top 75 for six weeks - one in 1995, one in 1998, two in 2002 and two so far this year. The album - carried in several of the current summer sales at low price - jumps 99-62 this week, to achieve its highest placing for nearly three years. The perennial favourite - always high on 'best rock albums' tabulations - has sold 38,789 copies in the first half of this year, and is set fare to beat its 2004 tally of 65,846 sales.

 

Singles also did well last week, with physical sales enjoying a 2% hike to 401,726, and downloads growing 16% to 419,800. Their combined tally of 821,526 sales was up 9% week-on-week. Ghetto Gospel by 2 Pac feat. Elton John suffered a very minor reduction in sales week-on-week, declining a mere 2.1% to 54,820, while remaining at number one. It keeps the number one sales above the psychologically important 50,000 mark for the 16th time in 17 weeks.

 

Ghetto Gospel was actually on course all week to increase its sales, and only ventured into negative territory on Saturday, when the screening of Live 8 understandably kept music lovers out of shops. It came close to doing something none of the last 20 singles to spend more than a week on top have managed to do - increase its sales on its second week at the top. The last number one single to achieve that was Blu Cantrell's Breathe, which sold 47,312 copies on its first week at number one in August 2003, and 49,192 copies - a 4% hike - the following week.

 

Although 2 Pac retains control of the singles chart for Universal, Sony BMG is responsible for all three of this week's Top 20 debuts, with new hits from Charlotte Church, Backstreet Boys and Mario.

 

Charlotte Church is, for once, in the news for all the right reasons, securing the highest charting single of her career with Crazy Chick, the first single from her upcoming Tissues And Issues album, debuting at number two on sales of 32,692 Of course, with her career thus far primarily classical, she hasn't actually released many singles, reaching number 31 with her only previous solo release, 1999's Just Wave Hello, though she reached number three a couple of years ago with dance maestro Jurgen Vries masquerading as CMC, and providing vocals on The Opera Song (Brave New World).

 

Resuming their singles chart career together after a hiatus of more than three years, the Backstreet Boys secure their 15th Top 10 single with Incomplete, which debuts at number eight with sales of 13,004. It's taken from their new album Never Gone, which has moved 11-27-32 since its release, selling 47,031 copies in its first 20 days in the shops. Their last all-new studio album Black & Blue peaked lower after its 2000 release - at number 13 - but sold 90,201 in the same timeframe in the lead-up to Christmas.

 

Mario's new single, Here I Go Again, can't match last single Let Me Love You which debuted at number two in March, with sales of 54,913, settling instead for a number 11 debut on sales of 9,879. Both singles are lifted from Mario's Turning Point album, which peaked at number eight in March, and has sold 176,577 copies to date - almost 10 times as many as his self-titled 2002 debut.

 

Meanwhile, two of the year's biggest hits, namely Audio Bullys' Shot You Down and Gorillaz's Feel Good Inc, continue to occupy perches in the Top 10.

 

In the upper echelon for the sixth week in a row, the Audio Bullys feat. Nancy Sinatra are on the rise again with Shot You Down. The single debuted at number nine, and climbed as high as number three, before slipping back to number six last week. It takes advantage of a quiet week for new releases to claw back a place this week, rising to number five. Its full chart run thus far - 9-10-7-3-6-5 - suggests it has had wildly fluctuating buying patterns. In fact, its sales dipped for two weeks in a row at the start of its career and have been on the rise ever since, though its first week sales when at number nine remain its best, with weekly totals to date, and in order, of 19,950, 14,927, 12,725, 15,316, 1,5638 and 17,635.

 

Maintaining a place in the Top 40 for the 12th week in a row, and the Top 10 for the eighth week in a row, Gorillaz' Feel Good Inc slips two notches to number 10. With a remarkable chart career so far of 22-21-22-20-2-4-5-3-4-5-8-10, Feel Good Inc is the introductory single from Gorillaz' second album Demon Days, which has - unlike the single - fallen every week since its release, moving 1-2-6-9-11-19 thus far. Feel Good Inc has sold 189,197, including 62,745 downloads, while Demon Days has sold 287,436 copies.

 

Close of business on Saturday marked the end of the first half of the trading year. The rash of recent high profile artist albums has helped that sector to post a 1.6% increase over the first 26 weeks of 2004, with sales advancing by more than 800,000 to 52,601,219 but this was more than offset by a 10.3% dip in the compilation market, where sales of 14,096,251 were down by more than 1.6m. Overall album sales were off 1.2% at 66,697,469.

 

Physical singles sales were down too but not as dramatically as in recent years, with big sellers like Tony Christie's (Is This The Way To) Amarillo and Crazy Frog's Axel F keeping the decline to a reasonable 15.2% at 11,241,725. The oldest and newest singles formats both showed dramatic growth, with 7-inch singles enjoying an 88.5% hike to 503,400 sales and DVD singles up 126.6% at 483,140. The 12-inch singles sector also remained robust, with sales off just 3.8% at 1,185,884, and increased their share of the market from 9,3% to 10.6%. Cassette singles continue to head for oblivion, and were down 95.23% compared to 2004, with just 1,086 sales in the first half of the year.

 

Finally, look for Live 8 to benefit participants' sales considerably next week. The Spice Girls famously failed to show, of course, because Mel B thought it would detract from her solo career. Her debut solo album Hot reached number 28 in 2000, with first week sales of 7,419. Her follow-up LA State Of Mind, credited to Melanie Brown and featuring the number 41 single Today, was released last week but sold a dismal 670 copies, enough for it to debut at number 453 on the album chart this week.

les chiffres que je vous ai donné proviennent de l'ifop, ils sont communiqués aux professionels, je pense que c'est assez fiable, et ça ne vient pas d'universal et encore moins d'un fan club!!

 

C'est un tableau, qui reprend les classements accompagnés des ventes, de formats courts (singles) albums et compilations.
