By staying for a third week at the top, “Ghost Stories” also becomes the equal second longest running No.1 album for 2014, alongside the three weeks that the self-titled Beyonce album achieved back in January, whilst INXS’ “The Very Best of” leads with seven accumulated weeks at the top this year. Coldplay might be knocked off next week by new albums by either The Amity Affliction, Jack White or even First Aid Kit or Glass Animals.

Two further albums return to the Top 10 thanks to current or pending tours with “Fuse” for Keith Urban leaping back up thirty-three places to No.6 thanks to his appearance on ‘The Voice’ on Monday night and his national tour which starts on June 14th, the album now notching up its fifth week within the Top 10.

The other Top 20 entry of the week is the fifth studio album for rapper 50 Cent entitled “Animal Ambition - An Untamed Desire to Win” which comes in at No.16.

Birthday is really nice and would be even better if it wasn't so icky. Time for Katy to take a break? It's hard to see where she will go after this era.
@12 - Singing with higher vocals is always a risk. J Timberlake did it well in the past and Ed's good here too. @11 - I'm surprised how well this is doing. It's a little screechy, but its growing on me. Last edited:
@6 - Sounds very strong now. It took a while to grow on me. @5 - Not really much into this production. It's ok I guess. @4 - Another that I am surprised is charting so high. Like really surprised. Very passive song.
Hard call at the moment if this can get #1 next week. A bit of a shame that in some close sales races, it's the two songs that happen to be $1.19 on iTunes that are coming out on top, while lower than the others on streaming
Que Sera isn't so bad, but it just goes through the motions with the lack of variability, particularly late in the song when something could have been turned up a notch. Not bad overall, just disappointing to many of those great songs that weren't able to chalk up 5 week at #1 in the history books.
Surprised to see John Mayer cover a mediocre Beyoncé hit. I am yet to hear it but I wasn't thrilled with Beyonce's version a few months back so am not holding my breath on his version being out of this world.
