Little fun fact, Lady Gaga charts at 3 with first week sale's of 26,694 and Fleur East charted at 14 last year with first week sale's of 26,691, I know that it is fair and understand why, but seems unfair really.

I am surprised Lady Gaga has not gone straight in at number 1. Where has the Blackberry Smoke album gone.

Gaga is over.

Dear oh dear Melanie C you barely beat Mr Chaplin's sadly disappointing second week sale's for his lovely album, that spice girls reunion on second thought's ay...... To be fair to you girl a very decent album, well done, happy to see Michael Buble doing well, nice bloke, and a really great style of music, Lady Gaga doing well too making the top 3, the king of rock rocking on at number 1, wouldn't it be ironic if his album holds Robbie William's 'The Heavy Entertainment Show' from the top when it is released, considering it is his record of chart topping albums Robbie might beat with this album, you might have to consult this to Elvis himself Mr Williams I think he might have something to say about your album record ambition's.

Great to the mighty status quo in the top ten.

Michael Buble has a re-entry wiv his Xmas album and ere's me thinkin Xmas wuz still 2 months away
