The Wildhearts

Midweek album sales apparently look like this:

"Albums

01 Arctic Monkeys (85k)
02 Avril Lavigne

Top 10
Beyonce

Top 20
Joe

Top 40
Wildhearts

Top 50
Ella Fitzgerald
Switches
Feist"

Looks like a secent enough chart position could be in the offing...

Artic Monkeys are dead certs to be number one: at work were selling about 50 copies of their new album PER DAY.

Shame it isnt like that with The Wildhearts.

Well fingers crossed. But I know from past experience that their sales tend to drop off a bit during the week because everyone rushes out to buy it the the first couple of days.
Here's hoping though.

Interesting, as Switches seem to have been hyped quite massively. My brother used to be in a band with their singer, so personal interest. They sound like a less kooky Franz Ferdinand.

Given that 'Must Be Destroyed' reached 50-something and HMV cocked up and did an early release, a top 40 placing would be excellent going.

I saw Switches on some live music show on Channel 4 with Welsh people last night. The song was pretty awful, but I guess singles often are. The Manics made it all ok though

Top 40 made.

What number?

i dunno lol but else where in the forum some body reported that at the last gig ginger said the albums top 40.

Just looked on Radio 1 website with a Top 40 link - no TW Im afraid.
The Rock chart is still last weeks at the mo.

Yeah. Unless I've missed it, and I'm sure I haven't, they've missed out on the top 40 altogether I'm afraid.

Dissapointed!

Yup, looks like it didn't make it... Rock Chart will probably be updated tomorrow if I recall following it in the past correctly.

how can you find out about albums that charted over 40 ?

Well fuck the BBC, it is 23 on the HMV chart
