Really hoping Little Mix can keep the momentum up to get the Number 1 position - Get Weird is a very strong collection and they are one of the most talented girlbands of recent. I am a fan of Ellie Goulding, but Delirium is weaker.

David Martin
I know that Little Mix is gonna grab the number 1 spot since it's currently in the lead, plus there was a lot of hype for their new album and there are a lot of fans out there that will make sure it reaches the top. They're not gonna just sit back and let it miss the top spot three times in a row. There are a lot of people still buying the album to keep it in the lead.
I Am A Stegosaurus
And it didn't.

I hope Little Mix disappear into oblivion. Once they can no longer use Zayn for PR I'm sure they will.
Assisi
"Delirium" will be #1 album, maybe in the next week
I Am A Stegosaurus
For once I want Elvis Presley to win.
DM
David Martin
No, he already had his moment in the top. Time to let someone else have the spotlight.
I Am A Stegosaurus
In that case, what about Ellie Goulding with Derilium? Anyone but fricking Little Mix.
I Am A Stegosaurus
But I would still say Elvis over Ellite, as Ellie's more recent songs haven't been very good.

DELIRIUM and ELLIE must be no 1 !!!! It s better than G.W.
Johnny
I hope Little Mix holds on to the #1 spot. Even though Get Weird isn't as good as Salute, it's a great pop album. I'm very surprised it's ahead of Ellie Gouldin. Delirium is higher in the iTunes chart.

Now, but on the first 3 days Delirium was way lower then GW.
Ariel
I really hope Little Mix bring the #GetWeirdTour to Brazil! <3 Love them!
MusicStan_1997
I hope Ellie can climb to No.1, Delirium is a fantastic album.
Anyone know how many copes are separating Ellie from Elvis?
Brian Quinn
About 9,000. I expect Elvis to be No.1 again this week.
MusicStan_1997
I think it will too. Little Mix have fallen out of the top 5 with Get Weird while Ellie and Elvis have remained there but they keep going higher and lower than each other everyday, I suppose it's down to the physical sales and streaming.
