Apart from what's already been released, here's what's coming out tomorrow as well:

7th March

THE DONNAS - 'I DON'T WANT TO KNOW' ELVIS PRESLEY - 'GOOD LUCK CHARM' JAMES BLUNT - 'WISE MEN' JIN - 'LEARN CHINESE' LADY SOVEREIGN - 'RANDOM' MARIA MENA - 'YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE' MARIAH CAREY - 'IT'S LIKE THAT' MARILYN MANSON - 'THE NOBODIES 2005' McFLY - 'ALL ABOUT YOU' NEW ORDER - 'KRAFTY' OCEAN COLOUR SCENE - 'FREE MY NAME' PHANTOM PLANET - 'CALIFORNIA' TYLER JAMES - 'FOOLISH'

So, what do you think the chances to see Krafty in, let's say, Top 5? Is Elvis still scoring #1s?

Here is the current top 10 (according to BBC)

Nelly featuring Tim McGraw - Over and Over (Universal)
Jennifer Lopez - Get Right (Epic)
Elvis Presley - Marie's The Name / His Latest Flame
Girls Aloud - Wake Me Up (Polydor)
Akon - Locked Up (Universal)
Kaiser Chiefs - Oh My God (B Unique)
LL Cool J feat. 7 Aurelius - Hush (Interscope)
Futureheads - Hounds of Love (679 Recordings)
Usher - Caught Up (Laface)
The Game feat. 50 Cent - How We Do (Interscope)

Gosh, that sucks big time.. what the hell is all this hip-hop, don't tell me the UK are also listening to this crap?

Who is this Elvis Presley guy?! He seems to put out an awful lot of material...

He might be one of those Gangsta Rappers.

Well, there is the midweek chart sent out so places like HMV can arrange their racks in an order close to what the end of the week will be. I used to be able to get it, but its not as easy now (not working with the guy who had access to it anymore). Its not 100% public - sent to labels, music stores, etc.

I can never remember what the hell these sales ranks mean, but theres no way McFly only sold 37 CD's, so methinks it goes downwards from one... does it?

This means New Order is ranked #123 overall... that's the overall rank of all items on Amazon UK.

So Elvis is a lame duck there ;)

Here it is...

Amazon UK Hot 100 Singles Chart

Given the general chart context these days plus all the promotion, it not going top five will be a huge disappointment. Any chance of getting midweek sales info from Warners Spotnick? The midweek charts are often leaked to the media...
