Earlier in the year BMG suspiciously deleted the Junkie XL Elvis remix of 'A Little Less Conversation' the week Gareth Gate's second single was released, clearing the decks for the pop idol runner up to take the top spot. Unfortunately they had less control over the albums competing for the number one spot with Gareth's debut long player 'What My Heart Wants To Say'. Word is Mr Gates won't go to number one this weekend. But what's stopping him from getting to the top? The Polydor released Nirvana Greatest Hits? The Epic released Manics Greatest Hits? Nope - the new East West released album from David Gray - 'New Day At Midnight'.
Chart insiders reckon the album top five this weekend to go David Gray, then Gareth Gates, then Nirvana, then Manics, then current number one Foo Fighters. That said the important weekend sales are still to come and it's a competitive week, so who knows for sure?
