Snow Patrol clear path to number one.
With OutKast's album Idlewild the only new release with enough support to debut inside the Top 20 of the artist albums chart this week, sales in that market sector decline gently, falling 1.6% to 1,862,410. With compilation albums off 4.6% to 464,737, overall album sales drift 2.2% to 2,327,147.
The largest contribution to the decline came from Christina Aguilera's Back To Basics, which suffered a 48.3% fall in sales week-on-week to 43,591, and ceded its leadership of the chart to Snow Patrol, whose Eyes Open set enjoyed an 11.9% improvement in sales to 49,772.
The album, which debuted at number one 16 weeks ago, has been feeding on the popularity of second single Chasing Cars, which has defied usual chart conventions by improving its chart position four times in the last five weeks, moving 25-15-13-10-12-7. Its latest move, on sales up 45.2% to 14,644 mean it has matched the number seven peak of first single You're All I Have.
Eyes Open has remained in the Top 20 since its release in May, never falling below number 12, and has thus far sold 669,849 copies, making it the year's fourth biggest seller behind albums by the Arctic Monkeys, Jack Johnson and The Kooks.
Other albums outperforming the market this week include Nelly Furtado's Loose, up 20-14 on sales of ...
