The Ting Tings are looking a strong bet to debut at number one on the artist albums chart this coming weekend, but are facing a close battle with Rihanna to retain their singles crown.
The Manchester duo’s Columbia album debut We Started Nothing is presently around 50% ahead of its closest rival, fellow Columbia signing Neil Diamond’s Home Before Dark, which became the veteran star’s first studio album number one last Sunday.
However, on the singles chart The Ting Tings’ That’s Not My Name, which entered at number one last week, is under threat from Def Jam/Mercury’s Rihanna with Take A Bow, which previously debuted at number two and is now only a few hundred sales off the top spot.
Two other albums look poised for Top 10 debuts in this Sunday’s chart, both Universal Classics releases: Beth Rowley’s Little Dreamer and the Cistercian Monks’ Chant – Music For Paradise.
Mick Hucknall’s first album outside Simply Red, the Simplyred.com-issued Tribute To Bobby Bland, which comprises his interpretations of Bobby Bland songs, is heading for a Top 20 debut, while Neil Diamond is looking likely to have two albums in the 20 with the MCA-issued The Best Of set to make a steep climb from its current position of 194.

Other new entries are expected this Sunday from Sparks, Foxboro Hot Tubs, the Osmonds,Thea Gilmore and Scarlett Johansson, while John Williams’ soundtrack to the new Indiana Jones movie is also poised to debut.
Against three expected new entries in the Top 10 of the albums chart, the upper places in the singles chart are looking fairly static with early sales indications suggesting only one release will move into the Top 10: A&M/Polydor’s Duffy with Warwick Avenue.
Lower down, the Top 40 could welcome brand new entries to the chart from Kristen, Fratellis and The Zutons, while Snap’s 1992 chart-topper Rhythm Is A Dancer is looking likely to return to the 40 following its use in a TV commercial for Drench spring water.
