I NEED to share Marina and the Diamonds new single. It's not as good as Radioactive (atm anyway), but it really is incredible.

I hope she manages to do incredibly well with this era, or at least match the success of her last era. It's released on April 16th.





And she is FIT as!

Posted by: aprilj 12th March 2012, 09:33 PM

Just noticed, why is Tracy Chapman - Fast Car doing so well?

Posted by: Prima Doug 12th March 2012, 09:35 PM

oh absolutely! my favourite song of the year so far, it's just brilliant. even if it is generic, she pulls it off better than the most of them. it's not like it's an exact rip-off of 'tik tok' or 'till the world ends', it does have it's own melody. I love the subtle synths behind the guitar on the chorus as well. it's just so... ah. I wish it got more appreciation.
unfortunately it won't be a hit though.

Posted by: HausofKubrick 12th March 2012, 09:39 PM

I don't think it's too generic at all. And i can't see why it couldn't be a mediocre hit (top10?). It's getting support from radio1, and hopefully Marina has built up a little fanbase from The Family Jewels to help push it further up the charts.

It (and her) are just breathtaking Looning over. :lol

Posted by: Juranamo 12th March 2012, 09:44 PM

Surprised at how well Alphabeat's Vacation is doing. I half expected it to peak at around #597. Fully expecting it to drop like a stone in 4 days time after no radio stations pick it up.

Posted by: Prima Doug 12th March 2012, 09:48 PM

as much as I'd love to believe that, the majority of her original fanbase have gone off her because she's a filthy sell-out. of course I couldn't really give half a shit whether she has or hasn't. pop music all the way!

Posted by: ElectroBoy 12th March 2012, 09:51 PM

Marcus Collins // Seven Nation Army = 11 and 52 [possibly a 2nd week in the top 10]

Rizzle Kicks // Traveller's Chant = 116

Will Young // Losing Myself 112

Posted by: Liаm 12th March 2012, 09:53 PM

Great to see Traveller's Chant climbing, it's their best single imo Especially after the awful Mama Do The Hump! I really like Down With The Trumpets as well though, and When I Was Youngster is good.

Posted by: HausofKubrick 12th March 2012, 10:02 PM

I know everyone is quick to jump on the 'sellout' bandwagon but I don't buy it. Radioactive was eurodance gold yes, but Homewrecker and PrimaDonna sound just like tracks on The Family Jewels (Oh No! & Hollywood etc). She really hasn't changed or sold-out much at all.

Posted by: Jester 12th March 2012, 10:04 PM

Nope, when we get to the end of 50 pages or the 51st page then a new one is good to go!

EDIT - noticed you were early. Thanks for dealing with it, Gezza!

Posted by: shadow2009 12th March 2012, 10:18 PM

Agreed. Mama Do The Hump was fun for a few weeks but it's not very fun to listen to without the video and it's very annoying now.

Traveller's Chant > Down With The Trumpets > Mama Do The Hump > When I Was A Youngster

Posted by: mod2793 12th March 2012, 10:20 PM

On a different not a video is being shot for Drake ft Rihanna - Take Care

Hopefully this can rise to #1??

Posted by: Kyus 12th March 2012, 10:21 PM

Why do people keep saying Alex is going to fall hard through the week? That's exactly what the people on here said about Start Without You and that increased its lead on Teenage Dream throughout the week

Posted by: Carel :) xx 12th March 2012, 10:27 PM

Well, Elephant is already in red on Kworb...

Posted by: Grebo 12th March 2012, 10:27 PM

Not so much sold out, just turned absolutely awful. Radioactive was atrocious as is Homewrecker. PrimaDonna was all right at first listen. None of them compare to Fear and Loathing though.

Posted by: Eric_Blob 12th March 2012, 10:30 PM

It's just the general pattern for held-back releases. Teenage Dream was also frontloaded though, and hence decreasing too (maybe at an even faster rate than Alexandra at the time). This time Alex is with Nicki and Gotye, whose songs are selling quite consistently, so if she falls the contrast in the pop bars will be bigger.

Not saying she's 100% definitely going to fall really fast. It's possible that her TV promo tommorrow might boost her, or it's possible that Capital will suddenly start hammering the song. But it's likely that she will otherwise.



I can't see it getting to #1 (in the UK). It's promotion campaign has been so spread out. There was that time Take Care kept re-entering the top 10, and it was on Radio 1's playlist, so if it had a video then it could've done it, but not now. Either way though, it's looking to sell over 300,000 in total.

If it did get to #1, it would be such a weird chart run.

Posted by: shadow2009 12th March 2012, 10:49 PM

Speaking of Rihanna, is her feature on Coldplay's 'Princess Of China' being released as a single?

Posted by: SevenSeize 12th March 2012, 10:51 PM

21. I Won't Give Up - Jason Mraz
44. Greyhound - Swedish House Mafia

This could be a massive hit for Jason!

Posted by: SLlewellyn 12th March 2012, 10:55 PM

Swedish House Mafia climbing pretty quickly up the iTunes chart now - am I correct in thinking it's another instrumental release? Would certainly be a welcome addition to the charts, despite the fact that Madeon's 'Icarus' already grabbed the title of 'recent instrumental since Poppiholla'.

Posted by: Jonjoria 12th March 2012, 11:00 PM

Why is 'Turn Me On' climbing, suddenly? It's now at #7, but I thought it was started to die off in sales and stuff . (It's not 59p either)

30. Rockstar (feat. Brian May) - Dappy (Is this struggling to re-sell? )
52. Oh My Goodness - Olly Murs (Happy to see him climbing! Really hope it gets him another top 20 hit.)
65. Part Of Me - Teenage Dreamers (This is going to be another big hit for Ms. Perry.)
106. A Thousand Years - Christina Perri (I was sort of hoping this would reclimb back into the top 75 at least with it being the films release to DVD this week )
123. Vacation - Alphabeat (YES! Hopefully it can at least get top 75 by this time tomorrow!)

Posted by: Carel :) xx 12th March 2012, 11:03 PM

Greyhound climbing fast I need to listen to it really (flop loon I know).

Posted by: Jester 12th March 2012, 11:04 PM

This is out?! *buys*

Posted by: HausofKubrick 12th March 2012, 11:49 PM

Alex is now dark red on kworb. She needs that promo soon!
Hopefully this means Nicki can climb again officially this week.

Rockstar #28

Posted by: Juranamo 12th March 2012, 11:56 PM

It's already falling. It was like #117 earlier.

Posted by: joshuadavid 13th March 2012, 12:16 AM

In all fairness, most of the top 20 are falling and Next To Me is also on dark red so Alexandra won't drop below her just yet.

Posted by: Lee123 13th March 2012, 01:47 AM

20. Jason Mraz - I Wont Give Up
36. Coldplay - Charlie Brown (Just Been Reduced to 59p)
39. Swedish House Mafia - Greyhound

Posted by: legend9144 13th March 2012, 02:26 AM

The shamen - Ebeneezer goode

what was the peak position of this?

I was told that this was always on tv + out and about when I was a baby.

Posted by: SevenSeize 13th March 2012, 02:32 AM

It got to #1

Posted by: vidcapper 13th March 2012, 06:39 AM

Didn't know these were fixed.



IMO it is *better* than Radioactive.



I consider myself as part of her fanbase, but am mystified about the 'sell-out' comment? How so?

Posted by: Eric_Blob 13th March 2012, 07:57 AM

Marcus has held up very well. He's still #11!!

I hope Jay-Z and Kanye can get to #11 soon though.

If anybody is interested, One Direction are at #1 AND #2 on the US iTunes chart or the albums!! So their album is likely to get to #1 then I imagine!

Posted by: Crazytowel 13th March 2012, 08:26 AM

I think Marcus will fall more later on in the week once the DOI performance wears off.

Where did this Jason Mraz song come from?

It would be the weirdest thing ever if this eventually out-peaked 'I'm Yours'. Now that is a song I would love to see re-enter the top 40.

Posted by: steve201 13th March 2012, 08:51 AM

Jason Mraz doing very well - is he only being played by radio 2 or has capital plalisted him too?

I actually think Elephant will not fall as much as other held back releases because of its lack of radio airplay will meawn alot of people are only hearing it for the first time this week?!

Posted by: Bré 13th March 2012, 09:32 AM

11. Ni**as in Paris - JAY Z & Kanye West
One more place to go (although it'll blatantly be overtaken by Jason Mraz before it gets close to #10 Jason is to #18)

31. Greyhound - Swedish House Mafia
Listening to this now. Not quite as good as their previous singles ATM but I thought that about Antidote on first listen, I'm sure it'll grow on me Doing really well anyway, I do hope it can give them a fifth top 10 hit. You wait two and a half years for an instrumental hit and then 2 come along at once... I hope we'll start seeing more instrumentals in the chart now with this and Icarus doing well (well, the latter only had 1 week top 40 so 'doing well' is a bit of a stretch, but still the biggest instrumental hit since Poppiholla).

Posted by: Welsh Hooker 13th March 2012, 09:43 AM

I love it!! When is the album out?? V V excited now!

Posted by: Welsh Hooker 13th March 2012, 09:46 AM

To be honest it appears like a lot of the songs in the top 10 are in red (on kworb). Alex has barely changed over the last 12 hours or so which is encouraging. I shall be watching this morning at 1030 as I think thats when shes performing

Posted by: Bré 13th March 2012, 10:04 AM

The latest song to disappear from iTunes is Redlight's Get Out My Head The version from 'Cream Club Anthems 2012' will likely just take over from the deleted single version though, up to #121.

74. Side Steps & Side Burns - The Blims
What is this and why is it doing so well?

96. So Listen (feat. T-Pain) - Cody Simpson
Is this the kid who was supposed to be the new Justin Bieber like a year ago? Ergh if so.

116. We're All No One (Original Mix) [feat. Afrojack & Steve Aoki] [UK Radio Edit] - NERVO
I really hope this can somehow still go top 100 officially

Posted by: marrb 13th March 2012, 10:17 AM

Lissie is climbing up so slowly, I hope she has done enough to be played on the Chart rundown on R1 tomorrow.
Alexandra will probably be performing around 12:15 on This Morning.
Keep Climbing Elephant, I would not even mind an Alan Titchmarsh slot.

Posted by: ElectroBoy 13th March 2012, 10:23 AM

im pretty sure the itunes album chart in the US means nothing to the actual chart :/ sorry. hope they do well tho

Posted by: Eric_Blob 13th March 2012, 11:13 AM

The actual albums chart there is based solely on sales I think, so download sites do count.

Posted by: SceneofSIXCrimes 13th March 2012, 11:26 AM

Or 'Elephant' will fall rapidly because it will continue to have no airplay?

Posted by: Bré 13th March 2012, 11:41 AM

8. Bright Lights (feat. Pixie Lott) - Tinchy Stryder
Has this been performed somewhere?

17. I Won't Give Up - Jason Mraz
29. Greyhound - Swedish House Mafia

Great to see Niggas in Paris at #11 - I hope Mirror can follow it!!

Assuming it does go top 40 on Sunday, there must be a decent chance of MW giving an updated total for 'I'm Yours' next week, and if so, we'll have a much better idea of how long before Adele-SFTTR is likely to catch it.

Posted by: SceneofSIXCrimes 13th March 2012, 12:28 PM

I would've thought SFTTR would have already surpassed IY. They both peaked at #11 with a lot of longevity but most of SFTTR's sales came in a far better sales climate.

Posted by: Draper Dudee 13th March 2012, 12:38 PM

No i know. what i meant was i think they have very little impact, like people in the us buy more physicals. correct me if imn wrong.

26. Greyhound - Swedish House Mafia
Could this even be heading for the top 10 this week at the rate it's climbing?

55. Gold On the Ceiling - The Black Keys
This could become their biggest hit this week - their previous best was #62 with 'Till I Get My Way' Well, 'Lonely Boy' will probably be their biggest selling single as GOTC will fade out when it's put back to 99p.

95. Home Again - Michael Kiwanuka
Ooh, top 100 re-entry please

100. Traveller's Chant - Rizzle Kicks
Looks like this could be another big hit for them. Is the video out yet?

Posted by: steve201 13th March 2012, 12:52 PM

Probably a bad example but MLJ only really started getting airplay on radio 2 did it not? Could be similar to that?

Also, Paradise falls behind CB for the first time?

Posted by: Jonjoria 13th March 2012, 12:52 PM

'Traveller's Chant' does indeed have a video

Posted by: SceneofSIXCrimes 13th March 2012, 01:16 PM

I was thinking this but I think MLJ had much more widespread appeal than 'Elephant' and therefore picked up radio support along the way. I get the feeling 'Elephant' will just do a "Collide".

Posted by: ElectroBoy 13th March 2012, 01:21 PM

Can't believe how well 'The One That Got Away' has done. It'll probably cross 300K soon and it only peaked at #18 and was a SIXTH single. It's already sold more than some #1's from last year.

Posted by: CescyTime 13th March 2012, 02:36 PM

Ugh, the Nicki song is all types of horrible. Thank god Gotye and Fun. (US) are fending it off.

Does anyone know when "Ai Se Eu Te Pego" is released in the UK? I'm really enjoying the alternative music creeping through into mainstream music. As long as it gets rid of the "party all night, sleep all day/LMFAO/Rihanna" music, i'm enjoying it.

I hope Marina has a hit with "PrimaDonna". I'm in love

Posted by: Bré 13th March 2012, 02:42 PM

It's been out for ages. Currently #229 and it's normally inside the top 300 or just outside so has probably sold quite a bit without charting yet.

16. I Won't Give Up - Jason Mraz
Overtaken Taio Cruz, looks like Hangover won't be getting near the top 10 this week then. I'm sure it'll get there eventually though.

24. Greyhound - Swedish House Mafia

97. Paddling Out - Miike Snow
Hope this can keep climbing for a while to come.

Posted by: shadow2009 13th March 2012, 02:59 PM

Traveller's Chant to #96.

Posted by: SceneofSIXCrimes 13th March 2012, 03:05 PM

I think 'Elephant' is a far better track as a whole but I prefer the vocal on 'Collide'. But then I think 'Collide' was always pushed as a belting club smash rather than just a club smash if that makes sense.

Just talking about 'Collide' makes me miss Leona.

Does anyone actually know why Alex is not getting played by the radio?

Posted by: SceneofSIXCrimes 13th March 2012, 03:16 PM

Radio 1 have a petty vendetta against her because her music is apparently "cookie-cutter pop" (yet they seem to think Pixie Lott and JLS make ground-breaking music) and Capital probably just don't like the song. They supported her up until now.

Posted by: Juranamo 13th March 2012, 04:13 PM

Posted by: GTH 13th March 2012, 05:19 PM

Seriously!? I was only expecting them to play it on the chart show and potentially request show. It is a positive sign. Pete Tong did do the first play on the Sympho Nympho mix. Fingers crossed Elephant can get some form of major radio support. The fact it isn't even in the radio top 50 and is doing this well is brilliant. You have got to give it to Alexandra, she works her ass off to get the results she wants.

Posted by: Joseph_MJF_1D 13th March 2012, 05:23 PM

Loving this! Really hope this can chart in the Top 100 this week but it's likely to be really front-loaded.

Posted by: Umi 13th March 2012, 05:30 PM

No you were right I think! There are certain albums where digital sales are much higher than physical (Ke$ha's Animal had like 74% of it's sales from downloads) but in general iTunes doesn't mean much. Rumer hit #1 (and #2 I think?) but only peaked at like ~#50. Still, I expect 1D will be doing a decent amount of physicals too.

Alex does work really hard but I think she accepts that some people still view her as the X-factor girl who has had success handed to her on a plate. Alexs fans are also really loyal and supportive though.
I am shocked at R1 they really do hate her but fair play to them they have played Elephant a few times.
I hope Elephant can keep climbing.

Posted by: SceneofSIXCrimes 13th March 2012, 05:48 PM

I thought it was Wednesday for a second and was thinking "surely Alexandra is only getting played on the midweek chart update" but they really played it...

I doubt it will be playlisted though.

Posted by: marrb 13th March 2012, 05:52 PM

I just cant-look at what P.Diddy posted on his twitter about Elephant. Since when has Alex been an Erick Morillo artist.

"Check out @ErickMorillos artist @alexandramusic new single "Elephant" #2 on that UK Itunes chart! Let's help make it #1"

20. 212 (feat. Lazy Jay) - Azealia Banks
23. Greyhound - Swedish House Mafia

SHM have slowed down a bit but hopefully they can get top 40 at least this week (allowing for the fact they missed out on Sunday sales).

Great decision to make Charlie Brown 59p, new peak this week hopefully Would be cool if it could outpeak Life In Technicolor ii.

'Wild Ones' back up to #4, knocking Emeli to #5. Wild Ones is destined to be #4 forever it seems

Posted by: Eric_Blob 13th March 2012, 06:12 PM

I'm surprised he even knows who Alex is, or even listens to music like that. He got her iTunes position wrong aswell.

It's funny that Radio 1 have probably given more support to Alexandra than Capital have with this song. Those stations don't only play their playlists anyway. I've heard Moves Like Jagger a few times on Radio 1 outside the chart show, and I haven't even been listening to Radio 1 that much lately anyway.

Posted by: Thermometer 13th March 2012, 06:16 PM

The charts have thrown up a LOT of surprises this year. I never thought I'd see Azealia Banks' "212" in the top 20 on iTunes Also nice to see Jay-Z/Kanye just outside the top 10 as well as an OA/OS instrumental song with no hype selling on Swedish House Mafia's name alone! It's a good song but not something I'd expect to make the top 40.

Unfortunately we have a bad surprise too in the form of Jason Mraz getting another hit single

Posted by: Umi 13th March 2012, 06:25 PM

Wow thanks for that haha

Bad Girls and (especially!) 212 are making me SO happy today! Exciting to see Niggas In Paris nearing the top 10 too - who'da thunk it?

Posted by: Eric_Blob 13th March 2012, 06:30 PM

I don't think the Jason Mraz thing is too much to worry about. It went to #1 on US iTunes with a big lead...and then he free-falled BIG TIME. He might do the same here (although not as dramatically obviously).

Take Care is getting a music video!

Should easily re-peak now!

Posted by: Euphorique 13th March 2012, 06:38 PM

Gotye really needs to go away, so tired of it.

Posted by: Eric_Blob 13th March 2012, 06:39 PM

So you think it's going to climb back up the charts to #8 or higher? I love the song, but I think you're being a bit too optimistic. The song has already sold over 200,000 aswell I think. I'm not sure how many sales it has left in it.

Posted by: Joseph_MJF_1D 13th March 2012, 06:44 PM

74. Cody Simpson - So Listen (feat. T-Pain)

Loving that this is climbing! The sad thing is it's probably SO front loaded...

Posted by: marrb 13th March 2012, 06:52 PM

Gotye does need to go away, he sounds like he is singing a funeral song.
Why would anyone have anything against Jason Mraz, he has been getting solid support from the MOR stations so was always going to do well.
I hope the promo Alex did today is helping. Erick Morillo has Elephant twitter fever now as well.

Posted by: aprilj 13th March 2012, 09:38 PM

I think Nicki will climb to #1 next week if the video is released. She could beat Katy Perry and JLS quite easily if she did.

She should release it already! Was filmed around 4th March in Hawaii. Apparently features aliens.

Posted by: HausofKubrick 13th March 2012, 09:40 PM

Unfortunately i think it's too late to get the #1 now with the big releases coming up in the next few weeks

You should be lucky Nicki is releasing a video for this single. Young Money artists are probably worse with music videos than Adele is. They tend to release music videos for songs 3 months early or 3 months late, or often not at all.

Jay-Z and Kanye are still MILES away from getting the top 10 effect. Jason Mraz and/or Swedish House Mafia might overtake them before they get there.

Posted by: Bré 13th March 2012, 10:03 PM

Jay-Z and Kanye have roughly halved the gap to the top 10 (with their top version) since last night, I think they could sneak in there if they keep increasing tomorrow.

22. Charlie Brown - Coldplay

Posted by: Lee123 13th March 2012, 10:07 PM

20. Azealia Banks ft. Lazy Jay - 212 - I can't believe this is doing so well now! Probably that massive arguement she's having with Iggy and T.I. atm is boosting her.
26. Rihanna ft. Jay-Z - Talk That Talk - I really hope this can at least peak higher than #25.

34. M.I.A. - Bad Girls - Looks safe for top 40 this week. FINALLY.

For me, it has to be overall sales.

Any half-competent record company can get an artist a repectable peak with weeks of massive hype, but if the song is gone from the T40 just several weeks later, what does that say about the quality of the song itself?

Posted by: Gboy 14th March 2012, 09:44 AM

Good to see CB finally being reduced to 59p, should have done it after the brits performance. its a good policy for post album singles though.

Whats the shock at 212s rise up itunes - its blisted on radio 1 this week and will probably rise to the alist this evening. Oh come on Paris - get that top 10 hit!!

Has Next To Me been used/performed somewhere? It's had a massive gain in its pop bar since the last update (as has Gotye, who has pushed Nicki back to 76.7% as well as gaining loads with his second version).

99. Little Boxes - Sniffy Dog

I wondered this too - it was steadily dropping but has suddenly shot up - it must have been used somewhere but what kind of show at midday on a Wednesday is going to give it the kind of boost it just had?!

Posted by: C.W 14th March 2012, 02:04 PM

fantastic to see Charlie Brown top 20, I would love for this to go there officially to make this not be the flop is seems to be when looking at its peak its a shame it wasn't reduced at the same time as their BRITs performance, it could've even challenged for top 10!

Posted by: Jonjoria 14th March 2012, 02:25 PM

Why has OneRepublic 'Good Life' entered? Such a shame this last era was such a flop for them. 'Secrets' remains as beautiful as 'Say (All I Need)' (which is in my all time favourite songs) and 'All the Right Moves' deserved much more success than it got.

The instrumental of 'Next To Me' was used at the end of the Biggest Loser final on ITV1, but I'd be surprised if that'd contributed that much to its sudden boost either!

So happy to see Charlie Brown #18, its #38 officially (as of last Sunday) so it could see a huge climb of over 20 places I hope!

Perry, JLS and Lab? Busy week, Clear out of top 10 looks like

Surprised how much I really like Niggas in Paris

Posted by: HausofKubrick 14th March 2012, 03:32 PM

With the three new entries sent to enter the top 10 next week, the few songs lingering just outside really have to enter soon if they want to ever make it. I'm talking Niggas In Paris, Greyhound, Mirror, I Won't Give Up etc.

Ah man, Alexandra Burke down to #4 - hoping EP sales can at least help it hold a top 3 placing come Sunday - would hate for it to only manage top 5 after such a promising start.

Swedish House Mafia really has come from nowhere actually - I imagine it'll be an Arctic Monkeys - R U Mine? situation - falling 10/15 places on its second week (only #40 officially). Coldplay too is likely to miss out on the top 20 potentially - not even top 40 in the Wednesday update - though Noel Gallagher's 'Dream On' is showing up at #28 - so it could well just push this out.

Posted by: Bré 14th March 2012, 04:05 PM

Charlie Brown is #33 today. There's a little thing called 'Ctrl+F', you might want to try using it

Greyhound was released on Monday and only really took off yesterday so I'm surprised it's even top 40 today, if it can go top 10 on iTunes it has a good chance of going top 20 this week IMO.

Posted by: Shelter 14th March 2012, 04:28 PM

Beyonce - End Of Time #109

189. Glee Cast - La Isla Bonita

^ this cover is amazing IMO. Sadly they've decided to cover 'Sexy And I Know It' this week too - as if this song needed anymore exposure

Posted by: Bré 14th March 2012, 04:31 PM

17. 212 (feat. Lazy Jay) - Azealia Banks
So glad this looks like it could be a big hit after all Would be ridiculous if it had ended up stuck with a #75 peak.

(Annoyingly bumped Charlie Brown back down to #19, but I'm sure that'll continue to climb anyway )

46. Gold On the Ceiling - The Black Keys
Heard this on R1 today. It's better than 'Lonely Boy'. Could be heading for the iTunes top 40 soon?

74. Hold On - Alabama Shakes
I spy yet another new song that's entered the top 100 out of absolutely nowhere this week Sniffy Dog to #82 (fair enough if it's in an advert), The Blims and We Are The In Crowd have left the top 100 though. Cody Simpson to #93, haven't heard the song but I can already tell it's awful somehow

88. Paddling Out - Miike Snow

I'm surprised they haven't covered any of Taylor's songs yet, seems like the sort of thing that would be on Glee if they did 'Need You Now'. Maybe she hasn't given them permission. (I do wish more artists would follow her example if so )

Why not? Like 90% of the songs iTunes decide to discount don't really need it.

I'm also quite shocked that Glee Cast have never done a Glee Cast song, come to think of it. Especially when they're doing the likes of LMFAO, you'd think Taylor Swift would be perfect for them to cover.

To be honest, they're not really "jumping on the bandwagon" in this case, since there isn't one to jump on.

I found out that Rack City isn't in the top 40 on the mid-weeks. If it doesn't make it this week, I think it'll never make it.

Swedish House Mafia almost top 10

Was Save The World an on-air on-sale release too?

Posted by: Bré 14th March 2012, 07:10 PM

Greyhound very close to going top 10 now

10 Tinchy Stryder - Bright Lights (feat. Pixie Lott) 0.3291
11 Swedish House Mafia - Greyhound 0.3205

It was released very shortly after it premiered IIRC. Not sure if it was exactly OA/OS.

EDIT: Wikipedia says it premiered on the 22nd of April and was released on the 15th of May, so yeah, pretty much OA/OS.

Greeyhound actually premiered on the 17th of February apparently, so it isn't exactly OA/OS either.

Posted by: ElectroBoy 14th March 2012, 07:46 PM

Swedish House Maffia 10
Tinchy Lott 11
Rizzle Kicks 93

Posted by: Eric_Blob 14th March 2012, 07:48 PM

I know you were joking anyway. But do you think it will be one band that will do it? I would imagine, if it ever happens, it would be a case of maybe the pop songs using more guitars in, then indie/alternative artists gradually getting bigger hits, and then rock bands gradually getting bigger hits after that. And nobody would be able to pin-point the particular artist/song that brought it back.

I think it's in the process of happening now to be honest. We haven't got to the stage where rock bands are having massive hits, but songs like Set Fire to the Rain, We Are Young, Somebody That I Used to Know, even songs like Part of Me and Stronger, show that we could be heading that way I think. It's a big change, when you think this time last year it was S&M, Born This Way, Till the World Ends, Grenade, Firework, etc. dominating the worldwide charts.



for the top and bottom one!

Sad that Tinchy fell out of the top 10 now, but it's okay if he's letting SHM in. He might miss the top 10 officially this week now, as I can see him falling quite fast without the top 10 effect.

Posted by: ¿ CHARLIE ? 14th March 2012, 07:49 PM

Jay-Z and Kanye will probably be back up to #11 soon enough then but I can't see them getting any higher unless SHM take a nasty tumble.

Posted by: Bré 14th March 2012, 07:51 PM

Now Greyhound has the top 10 effect I could see it getting at least as high as #6! Hope it can go top 20 officially this week then top 10 next week. Could potentially outpeak Poppiholla Then it'd be the highest peaking instrumental since Pjanoo I think?

I really hope Niggas In Paris can now sneak past Stooshe and also climb to at least #7 before Sunday when Katy, Labrinth and JLS will blatantly shoot straight into the top 10. It needs to get into the top 10 soon or it'll be too late and it'll end up being one of those annoying songs where everything is going so well until it reaches the top 15 then it just stops. See also All Of The Lights.

Posted by: ¿ CHARLIE ? 14th March 2012, 07:52 PM

Kanye really doesn't have the best luck recently does he? Shame as his last two albums (I'm including "Watch the Throne" in that) are a career high IMO.

Posted by: Lee123 14th March 2012, 08:12 PM

C'mon Jay Z knock Stooshie out of the top 10, Hope Pixie/Tinchy Re-enter the top 10

I expect Alexandra Burke to fall quite fast tbh, with three new entries in the top 10 next week, she will need to be #06 on iTunes come Sunday not to fall out, I can see a 3-11 drop for her unfortunatly! She will only continue to drop on iTunes, the worrying this was that she had a 10% lead on Flo Rida this morning, she's now over 10% behind Emeli Sande, who she also had a big lead on!

Kanye is unlucky with his singles, but what's more shocking is how his last album performed in the UK. It really was criminally ignored!!!

Very likely. But I'm more worried about She Doesn't Mind becoming a hit, awful song

I'm actually quite surprised there's no fake versions of Conor Maynard's single in there, considering it's a near-certainty for #1.

Posted by: Eric_Blob 14th March 2012, 08:25 PM

She Doesn't Mind, in my opinion, is poor compared to most of Sean Paul's discography. He has a long list of classics, but She Doesn't Mind won't be added to that list imo. It's a bit of a non-event. Got 2 Luv U was insanely catchy at least.

I hope Climax is a big hit, but I can't see it happening. It just seems too good to be true. I wouldn't think the UK public would enjoy it very much, since it's not very loud or fast.

Posted by: Jaseeee 14th March 2012, 08:28 PM

^ A fake version of that is charting. First time I've heard, and I really like it. Very Redlight, 90's dance.

Posted by: Bré 14th March 2012, 08:29 PM

She Doesn't Mind is really good IMO, far better than 'Got 2 Luv U'. Hope it's a hit for him.

Surprised to see a fake version of 'Let's Go' showing up already. Hope it can finally give Calvin a second #1 as a lead artist after two #2s and two #3s. Ne-Yo is due a #1 this year after all as he normally has one every two years (he broke that by getting one last year as well but shush).

'Fever' to be a hit? I do really like that song but it's not an obvious hit at all. (Although I guess after Redlkight got a top 20 hit it makes sense somewhat).

Posted by: Liаm 14th March 2012, 08:32 PM

Woah at the fake Fever showing up

Posted by: Brett-Butler 14th March 2012, 08:53 PM

Historically it has always been framed as being one band that breaks a genre into (or back into) the mainstream - The Libertines are seen as the band that kick-started the British 00s rock, The Strokes are portrayed as bringing indie back into focus, whilst Suede get the credit for kick-starting the Britpop scene. However, at the time there were other bands having similar levels of success that don't seem to have been seen in such a positive light in hindsight when they had just as much a part of starting the phases they were associated with. Perhaps it's just part of human nature to place the start of a movement on 'one' artist, when it's more than likely that a number of artists and movements contributed to it's mainstream acceptance.

One reason for that might be because one particular band gets a massive obsessed fanbase and then all their fans will claim that their favourite band brought around the musicial movement, and eventually the media will start reporting that as the case and people who don't know any better will believe it. I've never witnessed a rock revival in my lifetime before (or at least, not in my memory), so I'm just speculating there.

the SHM video could work just as well as an extended advert its nice to see an instrumental in the chart though, its far better than Antidote

9. Greyhound - Swedish House Mafia

Random thought: this must be one of the longest songs (at 6 minutes 51 seconds) to ever make the iTunes top 10 surely? It's the longest track in the whole of the top 200

Posted by: Brett-Butler 14th March 2012, 09:28 PM

The nearest example I can think of is 'History Makers' by Delirious?, which clocked in at 6 minutes 37s.

Posted by: Davidson 14th March 2012, 09:29 PM

Greyhound top 10

Wow what a surprise

Posted by: ¿ CHARLIE ? 14th March 2012, 09:33 PM

It's more likely journalists who are generally fans of hyperbole. In years to come we'll probably hear that "Band X were the ones who saved rock 'n' roll" yet those of us who lived through it will realise it's never that simple. For every Strokes there's a White Stripes, a band who were arguably just as important in retrospect. Even Nirvana weren't the single-handed launchers of grunge into the mainstream that history seems to think they were.

Posted by: -Irish-Ladd- 14th March 2012, 09:34 PM

I hope Call Me Maybe can become a hit, it was released in Ireland this week and it's at #4 on iTunes atm! Didn't expect it to even go top 40 so hopefully it'll be huge.

Let's Go should be pretty big too. I heard it first last Saturday and since then I've heard it on the radio at least twice a day. No joke.

Posted by: Draper Dudee 14th March 2012, 09:36 PM

theyve actually done an hour segment with alex on radio 1 xD in fact they like played snippets from her album tracks off overcome too

Posted by: Jaseeee 14th March 2012, 09:38 PM

Hmm, I think Let's Go will be this years Give Me Everything. It's gonna be hugeeee.

Posted by: Eric_Blob 14th March 2012, 09:42 PM

Wow. This is a rather sudden turnaround. Like a whole hour ON Alex, or a whole hour with Alex in the studio with them? I like Alexandra (well, her personality and a couple of her songs), but I'm not sure how they'd do an hour-long show on her, to keep an audience outside her fanbase interested.

To be fair though, I definitely remember Alex being interviewed on Radio 1 one afternoon in the week Start Without You got released (in which they also played the song then, outside the chart show).

Posted by: Jaseeee 14th March 2012, 09:44 PM

553. White Flag - Dido

Any reason why this has re-appeared?

Posted by: Eric_Blob 14th March 2012, 09:45 PM

I don't know, but I loved that song (even when it was really overplayed ).

Climbing quickly now. Radio support kicking in I assume

78. Bangarang (feat. Sirah) - Skrillex

End of Time is an ANTHEM!!

Dunno about radio support though. Choice FM have been playing it since last summer. I'm not sure how much longer they're planning to play it for.

27. Rihanna ft. Jay-Z - Talk That Talk - I have just realized, the beat of this is a LOT like Kiss Kiss by Chris Brown/T-Pain/Nelly!!
124. Walk Off the Earth - Somebody That I Used to Know
277. Tyga ft. Nicki Minaj - Muthaf***a Up
349. Young Jeezy - Rack City - Such an iconic song, people are already buying covers of it
552. Gotye - Eyes Wide Open
687. Chris Brown - Throwed - Why are people buying a Chris Brown album track from 4 years ago?!?
899. T.I. ft. Rihanna - Live Your Life
903. 50 Cent ft. Justin Timberlake & Timbaland - Ayo Technology
950. Snoop Dogg ft. Pharrell - Drop It Like It's Hot - I heard Pharrell is doing a song with the Scissor Sisters!
952. Gorillaz - Feel Good Inc

Posted by: Bré 14th March 2012, 10:32 PM

17. Charlie Brown - Coldplay
18. 212 (feat. Lazy Jay) - Azealia Banks

44. Little Boxes - Sniffy Dog
Looks like this could become a pretty big hit! Is this a female piano ballad by any chance? Most ad songs seem to be.

Posted by: Rob Summers 14th March 2012, 10:41 PM

Ah pleased to see the brilliant Good Life appear and keep going Charlie Brown.

Posted by: Eric_Blob 14th March 2012, 11:01 PM

Good Life was a massive hit last year in the US. I'm surprised it's taken so long to be appear/be released here.

239. Alexandra Burke - Broken Heels - Contender for one of the most boring songs of all-time? Surprised it's back this high

Posted by: Lee123 14th March 2012, 11:22 PM

51. Maroon 5 - Moves Like Jagger & #151 & #209
101. Pixie Lott - Kiss The Stars
202. Pixie Lott & Pusha T - What Do You Take Me For!
309. Jls & Dev - She Makes Me Wanna (Actually still doing well)
397. Maroon 5 - She Will Be Loved
468. Maroon 5 - This Love
855. The Saturdays - All Fired Up (Glad to See Una's pregnancy pushing this back in the top 1000)
930. Alexandra Burke - Start Without You

Posted by: shadow2009 14th March 2012, 11:22 PM

The album was released in January 2010. I remember buying it with I Am...Sasha Fierce from Asda in very early January that year, lol. 'Secrets' and 'Good Life' were both big singles in the US but the only top 40 "hit" here was 'All The Right Moves'.

Posted by: Eric_Blob 14th March 2012, 11:30 PM

Wow. I didn't know it was that old. I thought it was *only* a year old. It was the 25th biggest hit of 2011 in the US! There was a B.o.B remix for it aswell (he was on a lot of remixes last year, Blow, The One That Got Away, Alligator Sky ).

Posted by: shadow2009 14th March 2012, 11:36 PM

B.O.B was also on The Script's album track 'Walk Away' in the U.S.

Posted by: Silver Rocket 14th March 2012, 11:47 PM

Meh, it's her best song for me.

Posted by: Eric_Blob 14th March 2012, 11:53 PM

Ha that's...pretty random. The best remix he was on in 2011 imo was the remix to I'm Beamin by Lupe Fiasco.

8. Greyhound - Swedish House Mafia
11. I Won't Give Up - Jason Mraz
33. Little Boxes - Sniffy Dog

Sniffy Dog?

What on earth convinced this poor singer to go by the name 'Sniffy Dog'?!!

Posted by: Lee123 15th March 2012, 01:59 AM

05. Alexandra Burke - Elephant 54.9%
06. David Guetta & Nicki Minaj - Turn Me On 42.1%
07. David Guetta & Sia - Titanium 41.2%
08. Swedish House Mafia - Greyhound 39.8%

Not looking so good for Alexandra tomorrow, I think come Sunday morning she will be around #07 on iTunes before dropping out for Katy Perry, Labrinth & Jls.

13. Tinchy Stryder & Pixie Lott - Bright Lights (Ouch at the effect of following out of the top 10)
17. Coldplay - Charlie Brown
20. Marcus Collins - Seven Nation Army

Posted by: vidcapper 15th March 2012, 06:45 AM

Is that any worse than, say, 'Snoop Doggy Dogg'?

Posted by: vidcapper 15th March 2012, 06:59 AM

Well, a longer run at least - I doubt it'll chart higher than this week.



Odd that it isn't there, unless iTunes comprises a smaller share of the market than we thought.



Cascada?



Not unusual for rap albums to under-perform in the UK, though.



Maybe one play on a popular radio station? I normally reckon on re-entries below #500 as being fairly random, though.

I think Sniffy Dog is actually just a producer, the 'album name' says that it features someone called Adrienne Stiefel.

FFS, Niggas In Paris is down to #12 again being overtaken by Jason I bet Jason will go and overtake Greyhound now and stop it from surviving the new releases of Sunday I think Greyhound will need to be at least #6 to be safe from new releases (Katy, Labrinth, JLS and maybe Sean Paul), they should get to #6 very soon but if Jason overtakes them it's a big jump to overtake Alexandra and they'll be falling again by the weekend anyway most likely.

Posted by: Mart!n 15th March 2012, 09:46 AM

Looks like SHM could push Alex down, at the moment Alex is looking at a top 5 entry, unless SHM gain over the weekend. Gotye is going to match the unbroken #1 run of Lily Allen of 4 weeks back in 2009, I know this is his 5th week with the break.

Unusual when it's an established act (previous #1 album as recently as 2007) with a critically acclaimed (94 on Metacritic) album, though.

Posted by: Arrs 15th March 2012, 10:14 AM

Someone Like You, Party Rock Anthem both had 4 consecutive weeks on top - and that's in 2011 only. Adele is also on 5 weeks overall, so even *there* Gotye won't match something that happened only during 'The Fear' times.

Posted by: ¿ CHARLIE ? 15th March 2012, 01:09 PM

It's a fine line though, with someone like Kanye he's going to have a core fanbase buying the album no matter how many singles they already have from it and if the singles are good then it'll only encourage more casual buyers. Well, that was the idea at least. Why no one bought an album which we'd already heard "Power", "Monster" and "Runaway" from I don't know given that's three of his career best right there.

Posted by: Arrs 15th March 2012, 02:07 PM

Jay Z now back up to #11 and is really nearing StooShe. I really can't seem the former making the official top-10 now though, especially with a bunch of new big releases next week.

And to think this week's chart isn't going to be that dull? Quite a bit of movement with Alexandra, Swedish House Mafia and Jason Mraz all debuting in the chart, Azealia, LMFAO and M.I.A. debuting in the top-40 + a few of climbers / big fallers.

Dappy up to #21 now. STILL looking only for two top-20 weeks with a peak of #2. Absolutely dire.

'Niggas In Paris' back ahead of 'I Won't Give Up'

10 Stooshe - Love Me 0.3463
11 JAY Z & Kanye West - Ni**as in Paris 0.3377

So close to the top 10!

Looks like Greyhound could still climb further, it's still increasing loads and it's not THAT far behind Alexandra now. Really hope it can go top 10 next week.

Posted by: Eric_Blob 15th March 2012, 07:23 PM

Yes, of course I've heard her songs. Some of her songs are boring imo. I'm sure I 'd Poison and Wet hundreds of times when it was in the charts. I have her as my sig picture, because Right There was one of my favourite songs of 2011, and I do like a most of her songs, especially with the Pussycat Dolls, and she's really beautiful imo.

Rihanna's my favourite pop artist, and even she has a fair few songs I don't like.

Onto a song that is most definitely NOT boring, Niggas in Paris top 10!?!??!?!?!!!!! I can't believe it.

Wow. I'm sorry to all those people I laughed at a few months ago when they suggested it could go top 40. I just have no idea how it's selling so much. Wow.

A shame StooShe is out though. I hope their next single can be another top 10 hit.

Somebody that i used to know is shit and I can't wait for it to be off number 1

In your opinion. Personally I am made up it is still #1 and hope it continues for longer.

Posted by: Eric_Blob 15th March 2012, 07:58 PM

I love the song, but I also want it to get off #1.

But at the same, I really don't want to see unimagintive songs like Starships or Elephant there, so I think maybe I'd prefer Gotye to stay there for ages.

REALLY, the best case scenario for me would be Emeli Sande climbing to #1.

Posted by: Liаm 15th March 2012, 08:02 PM

I love Starships as well, but Gotye can stay number 1 as long as he wants

Well Gotye is most likely to be knocked off the no. 1 spot next week. It's just a case of who by as I still have a gut feeling Labrinth will do better than JLS but Katy Perry has now been added into the mix. Gotye could well drop to #4 or #5 if those three do well, and 'Starships' gets its music video premiere.

Posted by: Eric_Blob 15th March 2012, 08:07 PM

I do a bit, but when the song at #1 is THAT good, and when the song at #2 is THAT bad (in my opinion), I can cope.

If it was Wild Ones spending 5 weeks at #1 and Niggas in Paris stalling at #2 for ages, I'd probably be complaining like no tommorrow.

Posted by: Hitstastic 15th March 2012, 08:10 PM

Always?

Gotye has been no. 1 for 4 weeks and looking set for his 5th. If only we'd had music forums like Buzzjack in 1991 just to read your reaction to Bryan Adams' 16th week at no. 1!!!

Posted by: Joseph_MJF_1D 15th March 2012, 08:11 PM

Totally agree. Alexandra should be at #1!

And I still won't forgive Titanium for keeping Alone Again off #1.

Posted by: Mart!n 15th March 2012, 08:13 PM

How DARE you

Posted by: ¿ CHARLIE ? 15th March 2012, 08:13 PM

"Somebody That I Used To Know" can stay put please until either "Niggas In Paris" or "We Are Young" are able to take over.

Posted by: Jester 15th March 2012, 08:15 PM

Hardly - that is more unusual lately so it can hardly be always or boring?

Posted by: Jonjoria 15th March 2012, 08:16 PM

Sorry Buzzjackians, but I think you are now already aware that I think this also! Terribly overrated

I dunno. Now Katy Perry has been moved forward a week I'm expecting the top 5 next week to officially look like:

01. Katy Perry 'Part Of Me'
02. Gotye feat. Kimbra 'Somebody That I Used to Know'
03. Nicki Minaj 'Starships'
04. Labrinth 'Last Time'
05. JLS 'Proud'

I get the feeling now, that both Labrinth and JLS are extremely front loaded and will only do well until about Tuesday on iTunes. Labrinth will hold on longer than JLS though. 'Starships' could be number 2, it depends on whether the video is released next week or if it gets the price reduction to 59p for a week. (I get the feeling that it's due one soon, I dunno why ) Maybe Gotye will also be chopped down in price so it'll prevent it from falling any further?

Posted by: legend9144 15th March 2012, 08:16 PM

maybe it's because of you lot why that shit song is still number 1

Posted by: Jester 15th March 2012, 08:19 PM

What a ridiculous thing to say. I bought Gotye the week it entered the chart and anyway, what if we are keeping it #1? Maybe some people actually like it.

What songs do YOU like?

Posted by: legend9144 15th March 2012, 08:20 PM

£13,541.22 wasted on that song in the last 24 hours

Posted by: Jester 15th March 2012, 08:21 PM

I think you have made your opinion known, perhaps it is time for you to move on?

Posted by: Hitstastic 15th March 2012, 08:22 PM

Oh definitely. I also bought that "shit song" by Gotye too. Best 99p I've spent so far this year (oh, I also bought 'Titanium' when it was 59p).

Clearly our tastes in music are polar opposites.

Posted by: Eric_Blob 15th March 2012, 08:23 PM

That's what I'd predict aswell (except with Nicki and Labrinth swapped around). I can't imagine Katy not getting #1.

The week after that I can see it being between Chris Brown, Plan B, Gotye and Nicki Minaj for #1. It would be amazing if Gotye got 3 runs at #1. That can't've happened in the UK charts in a long time.

Posted by: Bréyhound 15th March 2012, 08:24 PM

There's no way JLS will be as low as #5 - I think we'll almost certainly have an all new top 3 of Katy, Labrinth and JLS which could be in pretty much any order, then maybe Sean Paul also going top 10. HOPEFULLY Greyhound and Niggas In Paris will also climb in (well, if the latter could get there this week that'd be ideal but I don't see it happening).

Posted by: legend9144 15th March 2012, 08:24 PM

alright but don't bite my head off for saying that song is shit

Posted by: Jester 15th March 2012, 08:24 PM

Agree with Katy being #1 next week and I can see Plan B or Chris Brown doing it the week after. Not sure about Gotye being #1 AGAIN. Actually has this ever happened?

Posted by: Jester 15th March 2012, 08:25 PM

Of course not, you are entitled to your opinion, but don't make every post about it

Posted by: Mart!n 15th March 2012, 08:25 PM

errr... it sold 558,348 to date, go figure...

Posted by: Bréyhound 15th March 2012, 08:27 PM

2 or 3 times in the 50s, then Three Lions also did it if you count the '98 chart run as a re-entry.

Posted by: Eric_Blob 15th March 2012, 08:28 PM

I love Somebody That I Used to Know, but I respect your opinion.



...and Party Rock Anthem has sold over 1 million. I don't think sales are a good arguement to use. High sales means a song is promoted well (on the radio, MTV, etc.). We shouldn't look into it that much.

Posted by: Jester 15th March 2012, 08:30 PM

I personally wouldn't count the '98 3 Lions as it has different lyrics (but I know some do). Should have guessed it happened in the '50s!

Posted by: legend9144 15th March 2012, 08:33 PM

I mean at the end of the day your putting money in Gotye's pocket, it's not as if he will come and thank all of you individually. There's no need to have a heart attack because I critized his song.

Posted by: gooddelta 15th March 2012, 08:34 PM

I'm unsure as to how all of the new releases will do next week actually, I just can't see Gotye dropping from #1 to #4 or further when it's still such a massive song. They're all such weak singles by their respective artists, Last Time has finally grown on me but to see it at #1 when Earthquake couldn't get there would be ridiculous. JLS' song is a cliched non-event which will disappear as quickly as it arrived. Part Of Me is my favourite but it's FAR weaker than the six singles from the pre re-release Teenage Dream era, it really doesn't deserve to be at #1, and if it does will only do so by virtue of being a previously unavailable Katy song.

I doubt Gotye will get six weeks and I'm sure one of the new releases will get it. Part Of Me will linger around the chart for the longest so I guess it should be that but it doesn't feel strong enough to be a #1, but then it debuted at the top in the US so what do I know

Posted by: Jester 15th March 2012, 08:37 PM

I didn't think it was going to go anywhere else I buy a song as I like it, and I am aware where the money goes. What a bizarre thing to say.

Posted by: aprilj 15th March 2012, 08:38 PM

I think next week's top 5 will go:

01 Katy Perry - Part of Me
02 JLS - Proud
03 Gotye feat Kimbra - Somebody That I Used To Know
04 Labrinth - Last Time
05 Nicki Minaj (if she releases a video it will be at #3 and bump the others down).

Posted by: Liаm 15th March 2012, 08:39 PM

It's likely that we'll have an all new top 3, but then also I wouldn't be surprised if one or more underperformed. I definitely think Katy has the number 1 though, and rightfully so! It's hardly her best (in fact it's her weakest single imo) but Labrinth and JLS are two average at best tracks.

There's no need to have a heart attack because it's still number 1...

Posted by: Eric_Blob 15th March 2012, 08:40 PM

In the US, they've had a few songs have three runs at #1 in recent years:

Leona Lewis - Bleeding Love
T.I. - Whatever You Like
T.I. ft. Rihanna - Live Your Life
Bruno Mars - Grenade

As for Katy's song. I don't like it that much. It's kinda okay, but I think it's quite weak compared to the likes of E.T. or even Firework.

Posted by: Hitstastic 15th March 2012, 08:41 PM

I reckon 'Part Of Me', in the US anyways, sold on name alone. Having scored 5 US no. 1 singles between 2010/11, Katy Perry was the most successful US female artist so the success of 'POM' just continued where 'Last Friday Night' left off.

Then again, that's USA. Is Katy Perry that popular in the UK? Is there even a video for 'Part Of Me'? I've not seen it if there is.

To put it bluntly, I don't want JLS no. 1 next week. I'd rather see Nicki Minaj there.

Posted by: Mart!n 15th March 2012, 08:44 PM

I'd rather have

1 Gotye 6th week
2 Katy Perry
3 JLS
4 Nicki Minaj
5 Labrinth

Posted by: legend9144 15th March 2012, 08:50 PM

Im not having a heart attack because it's still number 1. I just can't wait until it's not number 1 that's all

Posted by: Jester 15th March 2012, 09:00 PM

A point you have made. Now, let it drop.

Posted by: Col1967 15th March 2012, 09:02 PM

Those who bought it do not consider it 'wasted' though.
What a strange thing to say.

I 'wasted' 99p on it quite a few weeks ago now, best waste
of money I've ever spent :)

Posted by: -Irish-Ladd- 15th March 2012, 09:12 PM

What are the chances of Nicki releasing a music video a week after filming it?
Maybe she will though, and if so, it should stay top 3. Interesting to see how next week pans out.

Posted by: Jonjoria 15th March 2012, 09:13 PM

JLS' new song won't be as big as people predict I reckon. I think it'll easily do 70k, but I can't see Gotye trailing off that quickly in sales and will do 73k at least. Katy I can see doing 80k. Labrinth and Nicki will be incredibly close I think. It's all just depending on the premiere of the 'Starships' video now, for Nicki. That'll be the deciding factor between them two.

Posted by: HausofKubrick 15th March 2012, 09:14 PM

I want:

1. Nicki
2. Gotye
3. Katy Perry (decent pop song, but not worthy of #1 imo)
4. Labyrinth
11. JLS

I think it will be:

1. Katy Perry
2. Gotye
3. JLS
4. Nicki
5. Labyrinth

Posted by: Klumzee 15th March 2012, 09:15 PM

Why've you nicked my Lana lips!

I reckon it will go...

01 Katy
02 Gotye
03 Labrinth
04 Nicki
05 JLS

Posted by: SLlewellyn 15th March 2012, 09:25 PM

I can only see JLS reaching #1 next week - not only is for charity, but JLS are always extremely front loaded - and a 01-01-06-01-01-08-01-02-16 discography doesn't exactly predict that 'Proud' would debut outside the top 2.

I reckon;
01 JLS
02 Labrinth
03 Gotye (feat. Kimbra)
04 Katy Perry
05 Nicki Minaj

Labrinth will have EP sales to boost it, whilst Katy Perry will lose sales because of all the fake version downloads. If it weren't for the radio airplay and fact R1 are going to be playing it all of next week after her Live Lounge special, I would've predicted Katy Perry to debut at #6/7.

Posted by: mod2793 15th March 2012, 09:40 PM

Nicki is increasing really fast, she has stated that Starships video will be released before her new album (April 3rd) so this could be a #1 contender in the coming weeks if it stays around the top 5 before the video.

Posted by: Eric_Blob 15th March 2012, 09:40 PM

231. Childish Gambino - Heartbeat

^ There's a remix of this going viral at the moment, which is probably why it's in the top 300 (reminiscent of how Rack City first got into the chart ).

Posted by: GrAmii 15th March 2012, 10:16 PM

I sadly predict next week JLS for #1. Their fans and the charity aspect make it a certainty
The week after I expect them to be like #6 behind the other four and Plan B

01 JLS
02 Katy Perry
03 Gotye
04 Minaj/Labrinth
05 Minaj/Labrinth

Posted by: Umi 15th March 2012, 10:25 PM

JLS have the #1 on lock I think. I don't really expect Katy Perry to be a factor as Part of Me seems to have zero buzz (well there is that fake version I guess but aside from that..) and also doesn't have a video yet. I don't know what they're playing at with that. I'd like Labrinth to get #1 and maybe Plan B to to knock him off next week as I'm sick of Gotye but none of the contenders (Nicki, JLS, Katy) are really worthy of #1. Labrinth is the best of a bad bunch and it would make up for Earthquake being unlucky! And then Plan B can reign until something better comes along. Realistically thought JLS will take the #1 and Nicki will knock them off the week after.

Posted by: Jade 15th March 2012, 10:31 PM

Glee episode aired today, songs are flopping more than usual the two highest being;
194. Sexy and I know it
210. La Isla Bonita

Oh well, atleast guest star Ricky Martin was hot

Posted by: shadow2009 15th March 2012, 10:45 PM

I can't see JLS getting to #1. The Wanted and The Saturdays both missed out with their charity efforts so I don't see what makes JLS any different. Plus 'Take A Chance On Me' and 'Do What I Feel' underperformed so it's not like they're as popular as they were in 2009.

I can't see Katy going to #1 either. She's *only* had two #1's over here (although her last six singles were all massive) and with no video I can't see it debuting at the top. It's also her worst single from this era.

I could see Labrinth getting it (hype after 'Earthquake') or Gotye.

Posted by: Bréyhound 15th March 2012, 11:03 PM

5. Greyhound - Swedish House Mafia
6. Elephant (feat. Erick Morillo) - Alexandra Burke

Woo, keep climbing SHM I could see them possibly getting as high as #3 unless they slow down loads tomorrow. Hopefully they should now be safe from the onslaught of new releases.

(Also, I see iTunes has now declared Erick worthy of appearing on the feed now )

Posted by: shadow2009 15th March 2012, 11:24 PM

Off topic but speaking of The Wanted, their next US single is 'Gold Forever'.

Posted by: Jonjoria 15th March 2012, 11:27 PM

People should be aware that Katy will be on the final of 'Let's Dance For Sport Relief', as well as having her own Live Lounge set (5 Songs and a cover) at some point during the week too. I can't not see Katy going top 3 at LEAST, video or no video.

Posted by: Eric_Blob 15th March 2012, 11:46 PM

I read they're doing like David Guetta, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, etc. and releasing a song every week in the run up to their album. So maybe it's just a promo single. Like they'll put it for download but not really promote it much. That song is in no way strong enough to be a proper US single imo. It didn't do that well even in the UK as a charity single.

Posted by: Lee123 15th March 2012, 11:53 PM

Also In Katy's advantage Part Of Me will go straight into the top 40 on iTunes because it's not listed as an album. The airplay has also been very good, I would be shocked to see this not go at number one! Although I did expect a video to be released before the Uk Release!

01. Gotye - Somebody That I Used To Know 100%
02. Nicki Minaj - Starships 85.3% (New Pop Bar Peak)

16. Coldplay - Charlie Brown (New Peak This Week looking likely
29. Taio Cruz & Flo Rida - Hangover (This is falling quite fast now

Posted by: AV102 15th March 2012, 11:55 PM

Wouldnt it be just great if SHM got to number 1 on i tunes. The song is class

Posted by: Jade 15th March 2012, 11:56 PM

102. Glee Cast - La Isla Bonita
141. Glee Cast - Sexy And I Know It
154. Glee Cast - Bamboleo/Hero

'La Isla Bonita' & 'Bamboleo/Hero' have both risen over 100 places since last update

Posted by: Jonjoria 16th March 2012, 12:23 AM

'Gold Forever' is underrated/under appreciated I feel. It's definitely the inspiration behind the idea of them doing 'Glad You Came'. Who'd have thought GYC would have done as well as it has in the US? Hope 'Gold Forever' shocks too.

Posted by: C.W 16th March 2012, 12:33 AM

I don't think its clear at all what will be number 1 next week except that it will most likely be new - JLS could well do exactly what The Wanted did this time last year, Katy & Labrinth's songs don't seem to have as much hype as their previous efforts

I'm gonna guess:

01. Katy Perry
02. Gotye
03. JLS
04. Labrinth
05. Nicki Minaj

but literally anything is possible out of this top 5

I can't see Gotye falling that much, I also expect it to overtake all three of the new releases eventually

Posted by: legend9144 16th March 2012, 12:37 AM

I think the JLS song will be number 1 next week

Posted by: Silver Rocket 16th March 2012, 12:39 AM

I just heard 'Greyhound' and it's ace! I hope to see it top 10, although it probably won't make it this week (or even next with the heavy influx of new releases).

Posted by: HausofKubrick 16th March 2012, 12:40 AM

I'm quite positive that POM will get to #1. She has promo lined up and brilliant airplay. Its doing well on preorders too.

Charlie Brown #15

Posted by: legend9144 16th March 2012, 12:44 AM

What does the pre order chart look like at the moment and how do i get to have a look at it?

Posted by: C.W 16th March 2012, 12:49 AM

if you look at the album chart on itunes, you'll also see pre-orders (click 'release date' in the 'Sort By' options to see them all at the top)

ftr, next weeks releases currently stand at:

32. Katy Perry - Part Of Me
119. JLS - Proud
139. Labrinth - Last Time

OK, so this may seem clear but I still think this is very much open

Posted by: Silver Rocket 16th March 2012, 12:52 AM

Somehow I think JLS fans are gonna do something to make sure they put up a good fight (like obsessively buying other formats than just the single download), I can't see them not being top 2.

Posted by: omrimayo 16th March 2012, 12:53 AM

This! CB is top 15!
I think top 20 this week it's not too much for asking... it's top 20 since Tuesday.

Posted by: HausofKubrick 16th March 2012, 01:01 AM

They'll be the only ones buying it. No amount of money or support can help that tragic Westlife-lite 'song'.

Posted by: vidcapper 16th March 2012, 07:06 AM

I'm probably the least politically correct person on this forum, so how come I'm seemingly the only one disturbed by the blatantly racist title of this song?

Because Jay-Z & Kanye West are both black artists, so them using the word "ni**a" isn't racist. It would be racist if for example Eminem or Professor Green were using it to describe a black person.

Posted by: vidcapper 16th March 2012, 08:45 AM

Just the response I was waiting for...

Consider this - if a white artist were to write a song with 'Pikeys' in the title, I bet the police would be knocking at their door ASAP!

Posted by: randomfurlong 16th March 2012, 09:08 AM

That's not racist, it's classist. So a white person using the word isn't necessarily going to have been discriminated against with that description.

Using 'niggas' as a self-descriptor works similarly to when gay people starting using the word 'queer' - taking an insult and claiming it as an empowering term instead.

Posted by: steve201 16th March 2012, 09:10 AM

Is Starships increasing or Gotye increasing? Also emeli/flo rida must be down to 40k in sales now if nos 5-7 are nearly even on the pop-up bars!!

Whatever happens next week, if Gotye has sales of around 60k NEXT week we could have a massive selling top 5, maybe the biggest in the download era?

Posted by: truly talented 16th March 2012, 09:18 AM

In my opinion 'niggas' is a derogatory term whoever is using it.

Posted by: Karma 16th March 2012, 09:22 AM

Agreed. I hate that word.

Posted by: vidcapper 16th March 2012, 09:36 AM

But it *is* classed as discriminatory, and in the PC infected country we live in, it can get you into trouble with the law. My main beef is not to much with the words themselves, but the double-standard.



I don't really get how that's supposed to work, though?

Posted by: ¿ CHARLIE ? 16th March 2012, 09:45 AM

If you understood how it worked you wouldn't think of it as discriminatory in this usage. Words are all about context and intention.

Posted by: HausofKubrick 16th March 2012, 10:14 AM

I love the song, but surely what's more offensive is the lyric: "got my niggas in paris, and they going gorrilas"... Unless i haven't actually understood what it means... :/

Posted by: vidcapper 16th March 2012, 10:31 AM

Well, yes - that was kinda my point.

Posted by: Mart!n 16th March 2012, 10:33 AM

I think Katy Perry has got a chance of the #1 single next week, and when was the last time the Sport Relief single gone to #1, to my record none of them made #1, so I think JLS will have to settle for a top 3 spot, otherwise its Gotye for another week. The top 5 will be very interesting next week.

Posted by: Eric_Blob 16th March 2012, 10:37 AM

In my opinion even if Eminem or Pro Green used the word (and I'm sure the former has), it wouldn't be racist. They are so clearly not racist that them saying a word wouldn't suddenly make me think they are. It depends on the context though.

Posted by: steve201 16th March 2012, 10:37 AM

Love how huge Wild Ones & Titanium have been, feel like they've been top 10 for ages now! Sia

Posted by: steve201 16th March 2012, 11:10 AM

Wonder if Sia will be on it too? Think Guettas new single is the one with Jessie J?

Posted by: Silver Rocket 16th March 2012, 11:16 AM

Agreed, I actually shudder inside every time I hear or see the word. On that basis alone I'd rather not see the song top 10, but on top of that the song itself is actually f***ing dreadful. Why are so many people championing it to go top 10?

Posted by: Karma 16th March 2012, 11:17 AM

Oh really? I thought Jessie J was releasing her one with Guetta, 'Laserlight'. I guess they'd be up against eachother if 'Repeat' was being released too

Didn't think they'd really get a hit from this album, so glad though.
Definitely my favourite from the album, one of the best tracks of last year easily.

Posted by: Eric_Blob 16th March 2012, 12:22 PM

I want it top 10 because it's amazing. One of the catchiest songs in the top 100 easily, very different to everything else that's out. A huge grower. Much like Gotye's song in those respects. It's the sort of song that people will be referring back to for years imo.

Posted by: Karma 16th March 2012, 12:33 PM

I think the main selling point of 'n****'s in Paris' is definitely the beat. I got to say love that beat.

Didnt notice End of Time climbing really nicely #80 Hope its top 10! Love.

Posted by: Jonjoria 16th March 2012, 01:14 PM

'End Of Time' deserves to out do 'Love On Top'! (In fact it deserves to be the highest peaking and biggest selling single from this era!) Hope it can somehow get top 10 and stay in the higher reaches for a little bit. Although I'm not holding my breath

Posted by: Mart!n 16th March 2012, 01:14 PM

I think M.I.A. is a dead chart for a chart peak inside the top 40, which means Gym Class Heroes or will.i.am out of the official chart come Sunday or both if Drake climbs any further..

Posted by: Karma 16th March 2012, 01:20 PM

Yeah obviously its at a disadvantage over previous singles as '4' has sold pretty well now, but it hasnt sold such a huge amount that prevents 'End Of Time' cant be a big hit. I'm hoping top 10, we'll see. I did really like 'Love On Top' too.

Posted by: Shelter 16th March 2012, 01:42 PM

Is BBC radio 1 and 2 snubbing it, not on any of their playlists. They dropped Love On Top pretty quick aswell.

Posted by: Snow Spiider 16th March 2012, 01:51 PM

Fyi - they're popularity bars, not pop-"up" bars!

Posted by: Bréyhound 16th March 2012, 04:09 PM

No one knows what it means, but it's provocative.

(I'm completely with randomfurlong and Charlie regarding black rappers' use of the N word for the record - it clearly doesn't have a derogatory intent, in fact it's the exact opposite of that, so it's not offensive. The context matters more than the word itself).

Rappers using the N word isn't a new thing anyway, it's been used pretty much as long as the genre has existed, it's just because it's in a song title that it's being brought to certain people's attention now.

WOO at it being up to #9, to get back on topic Please climb to at least #6 before Sunday.

Posted by: Bréyhound 16th March 2012, 04:52 PM

40. Oh My Goodness - Olly Murs

Heart On My Sleeve didn't enter the official top 100 until the equivalent of next Sunday in its own release schedule, so I'd think this is likely to outpeak it. Then maybe he can get a fourth top 40 hit off this era as well.

Posted by: vidcapper 16th March 2012, 04:55 PM

Only fourth? It fells more like forty!

Why is this climbing all of a sudden? Video?

I loved this last May when I first heard it and I still love it now. It's in my top 10 most played tracks on iTunes ever. Definitely deserves to outpeak BTINH. BTINH is tame compared to the majority of 4.

Posted by: simplyobsessed 16th March 2012, 05:11 PM

Glad Gotye is keeping that Nicki Minaj crap off #1 - seriously why does anyone like her? Pleased to see Marcus Collin's bad cover not doing well. Rare to see the best song in the iTunes top 40 at #1, and the worst at #2.

Posted by: C.W 16th March 2012, 05:35 PM

I completely agree, whilst I understand its not being used in a racist context in this sense, I generally hate that word , I'm aware its common amongst black rap, but it never fails to put me off a song, particularly when I see it in a title (sorry if discussion has moved on )

Posted by: Col1967 16th March 2012, 06:03 PM

It would be OK if the artist concerned identified with and considered themselves to be a 'pikey'.
As others have said it's all about context and who is using the the word, rather than the word itself.

Posted by: mod2793 16th March 2012, 06:04 PM

I cant see Katy Perry not getting #1 next week with the music video of "Part Of Me" being premièred on the 21st of March

Posted by: shadow2009 16th March 2012, 06:04 PM

I do like Nicki but she's SUCH a sell-out. One minute she's a very urban rapper with a distinct style and delivery with credible songs ('Moment 4 Life', 'Your Love', 'Massive Attack') and the next she's wearing bright wigs, dressing like Barbie and having dance breakdowns in her songs.

Posted by: Umi 16th March 2012, 06:06 PM

I'm probably wrong here but I remember Radio 1 keeping Love On Top on the playlist for ages.

Posted by: Eric_Blob 16th March 2012, 06:10 PM

I agree. And I don't see the point exactly, since there's dozens of other popular artists doing what she's doing now (Taio Cruz, Katy Perry, etc.). She was pretty unique before. I feel like she's trying to be Madonna, but the funny thing is she'll be forgotten amongst the plethora of other pop artists trying to be Madonna. She had more chance of becoming an icon by doing songs like Moment 4 Life, etc. She had much more of a niche, and less competition.

The barbie and the wigs go further back though, so I don't mind those. Just the music that's so annoying.

And a song that isn't a sell-out, End of Time up to #77!

Posted by: Griff 16th March 2012, 06:19 PM

MARK MY WORDS.

Posted by: ElectroBoy 16th March 2012, 06:24 PM

I reckon Katy will (unfortunately) nab the top spot.

Posted by: SceneofSIXCrimes 16th March 2012, 06:30 PM

I'd rather Katy than Labrinth or JLS. I don't like POM though, from what I've heard of it. It doesn't seem as good as the likes of TOTGA, 'Firework', 'E.T.' and 'Teenage Dream'.

It's going to be weird if Gotye falls from 1-4 after being one of the longest-running consecutive #1s in years (okay I looked back at the posts yesterday and it will be the longest-running #1 since last year ).

Posted by: Eric_Blob 16th March 2012, 06:44 PM

Even Umbrella dropped 1-3 after 10 weeks at #1.

Umbrella was quite front-loaded really. It didn't climb the charts once in its first 5 months of release!

Posted by: Hayzayy 16th March 2012, 06:57 PM

The awful typo wasn't necessary.

Posted by: Bréyhound 16th March 2012, 06:59 PM

In the USA 'I Gotta Feeling' dropped 1-5 after 14 weeks at #1.

Gotye may drop out of the top 3 next week but I'm sure this won't be his last week up there. He could even still return to #1 at some point.

Posted by: randomfurlong 16th March 2012, 07:09 PM

Except she's been dressing in bright wigs for ages (see her first album cover!) and saying things like "it's Barbie bitches" since 'Massive Attack'. I don't particularly like 'Starships' but I don't see how it's that far removed from sampling the Eurythmics on 'Your Love' or the "oh-woah-oh" soundbites of 'Check It Out'. You're overlooking the other tracks she's released from Roman Reloaded, which are much more distinctive, even if I don't like those either. I wouldn't say she's sold out, she's just lost her touch for delivering good songs (in my opinion, I know 'Starships' is a favourite of many posters here).

Posted by: Jimmie 16th March 2012, 07:21 PM

Tbh, I think Nicki is reaching out to more fans with her current direction. Starships has a much more dance influence which appeals to more people. Plus she hasn't exactly abandoned her rap roots, just seems like she is experimenting and diversifying which is a good thing.

Posted by: SceneofSIXCrimes 16th March 2012, 07:23 PM

Can you really call a song that spent 10 weeks at number one front-loaded?

The sales were rather consistent too - even if they were consistently average.

Posted by: Eric_Blob 16th March 2012, 07:36 PM

I know she still raps in her songs, but they're pop songs. Like Ke$ha and Pitbull rap in their songs aswell, but they're not hip hop songs, and I feel Nicki is turning like them at the moment.

Rack City up to #34!! Is it too late for this to get top 40 officially if it keeps climbing?

Posted by: Col1967 16th March 2012, 07:41 PM

Towards the end of the run though sales were woeful, even by the standards of the day.

Posted by: HausofKubrick 16th March 2012, 07:44 PM

Looking back at Nicki discography she really does have incredible songs from all sorts of different genres, which is one reason why i love her.

My favourites from her are still the more RnB infused Moment 4 Life, Right Thru Me, etc but there is no harm in trying new things. She's not exactly selling out more experimenting. If she were to make a heavy metal record she wouldn't be selling out, so i don't see why its so different if she's making more dance orientated music. There just seems to be this weird taboo thing with making songs that are meant for a club.

Posted by: HausofKubrick 16th March 2012, 07:46 PM

Wild Ones #3
Sorry For Party Rocking #22

Posted by: randomfurlong 16th March 2012, 07:51 PM

I know 'Starships' is the focus here because it's been so massively successful, but I wouldn't call anything else we've heard from Roman Reloaded a pop song. So I think you're generalising quite a bit from the evidence of a single song.

Posted by: HausofKubrick 16th March 2012, 07:54 PM

I agree. Starships has been the most successful because it's pop, simple.

Stupid Hoe and the 'Roman' songs are anything but pop.

Posted by: toby 16th March 2012, 07:55 PM

hi

Posted by: Eric_Blob 16th March 2012, 08:03 PM

Well, I'm certainly happy that she's not doing heavy metal!!!

I think she is selling out, and she's not experimenting. Songs like Starhips are going to be hits. It's not experimental at all. We've seen dozens of other songs that sound almost the same being hits over the past few years. If she was being experimental she'd be releasing songs like We Are Young, Niggas in Paris, Somebody That I Used to Know or even Climax.

Lots of Nicki's urban songs were great in clubs, and people were fine with that. It's the change in genre that annoys people I think, not the fact that her songs are club-friendly. Hip hop is music you dance to aswell, so there's no issue with that.

I don't think it's a big deal though. All that'll happen is that Nicki will become a full-on pop artist and will go on to be categorized with Katy Perry, Ke$ha and Rihanna in the future (infact, it's already happening now), and then other female rappers like Missy Elliott, Lil Kim, Eve, Da Brat, Foxy Brown, etc. will return, or newer artists like Iggy Azalea or Azealia Banks will return and fill her void (now that everybody sees there is a market for that again).

Nicki isn't going to be able to release a hip hop song after she drops her album. Her "fans" (the people that discovered her 6 months ago) will just repeatedly beg her to release electropop song after electropop song.

Posted by: Lovett 16th March 2012, 08:04 PM

It's on the A-list of BBC Radio 1Xtra, and it's only just starting to pick up airplay. It'll hopefully be added to the Radio 1 and 2 playlists soon.

Posted by: toby 16th March 2012, 08:05 PM

I dont like Starships.

Posted by: HausofKubrick 16th March 2012, 08:07 PM

I do see your point actually. M4L is one of my favourite songs in a club, as it just sounds so epic

I just don't like the term selling out just because someone is making more dance infused music, as there's nothing wrong with that and selling out is quite a demeaning term. At least we always have Pink Friday to fall back on if this album is full of Starship repeats

Posted by: Eric_Blob 16th March 2012, 08:16 PM

Yeah, Moment 4 Life is amazing. I love that beat. Whenever I listen to the song if I don't listen to another song afterward I just have that beat repeating in my head for hours.

One of my favourite Nicki songs for a club is Lil Freak.

I'd rank the most patronizing smilies as:

1.
2.
3.
4.
5.

I don't find the " " one patronizing personally. Rolleyes I think it the worst, but only because I think people use it wrongly so much. Used in its right context (and not directed at another person), it shouldn't be patronizing in the slightest.

Posted by: Liаm 16th March 2012, 09:22 PM

I'd say ':)' (sarcastic use is LIFE though), ';)' and ':rolleyes:' are the worst, particularly the awful latter. Even used sarcastically, you like a dick using it. I feel dirty and awful myself using it in this context

David Guetta is performing on Graham Norton. This is gonna be interesting

Posted by: Eric_Blob 16th March 2012, 10:50 PM

Yeah. Are any of the vocalists on his tracks actually in the UK atm? Jessie J probably is (LaserLight and Repeat), but she'd probably be interviewed aswell if she was performing with him.

I think usually he just has his DJ booth or whatever and then blasts out the music.

He should perform Turn Me On imo. It's not getting much radio airplay, so it needs the promo more.

Posted by: Prima Doug 16th March 2012, 11:12 PM

oh toby, just two posts in to this topic and I already love you. keep posting, I need to laugh!
I love ':)', it's a good way to shut up the bitches who think they can tell you what you can and can not do. I don't get how is patronizing though, I always had that one down as one of them smilies that just fades into the background.

ANYWAYS, ITUNES... ew, I see 'niggas in paris' is still climbing. please, please make this be it's peak. I couldn't bare to see it top 5 or even... number 1.

Well Nicki Minaj is filming her video but does anyone think it will loose too much steam by the time it is released to possibly challenge for number 1? I can see new entries taking the number 1 spot next week. Shame as I really wanted Starships to get there at some point.

AWWW Thanks prima doug how do you type exclamation marks thank you

Posted by: Bréyhound 16th March 2012, 11:20 PM

Hopefully that'll push it back ahead of Turn Me On then

Niggas In Paris still stuck at #9, it'll probably drop straight out of the top 10 again on Sunday then Hopefully it can sneak into this week's top 10 then because I don't think it'll be able to get back there on iTunes. (Would make it the second single from 'Watch The Throne' to go top 10 on iTunes but not officially )

I think its safe to say you'll be be quite disappointed when you hear the answer

Posted by: Eric_Blob 17th March 2012, 02:25 AM

I think she's nice as a person. She's used her celebrity status to help a lot of good causes. And she's a good singer and a relatively good piano player.

I don't really like any of her songs though. But that's just my opinion.

Posted by: toby 17th March 2012, 03:13 AM

oh ok im sad now .BTW your girlfriend is really pretty,

Posted by: Eric_Blob 17th March 2012, 03:28 AM

I don't have a girlfriend. Do you mean that woman in my sig, that's Nicole Scherzinger.

The last two or so pages are DIVINE.

M.I.A. #32, SURELY she'd make it?

Tyga #36, surely not. Not high enough to get here.

Posted by: SceneofSIXCrimes 17th March 2012, 09:23 AM

Has Alexandra got any more promo this weekend? It'd be terrible if she drops out of the top 10 after just one week.

Posted by: T Boy 17th March 2012, 09:25 AM

Oh dear, why did BJ's latest troll have to use my Christian name?

Posted by: Liаm 17th March 2012, 09:28 AM

No offence but what is this toby person on?

As for M.I.A., she really should get a move on! It's annoying how she's been fluctuating between 30-40 for ages after so long as 40-50 I guess at least it should get top 40 officially, which is more than I thought for it!

The last 2 pages have been real gold. Never a dull moment in here.

34 Taio Cruz feat Flo Rida - Hangover

To think I thought this would go top 10!

Posted by: SceneofSIXCrimes 17th March 2012, 11:25 AM

I really have no idea about what three songs will be knocked out by JLS, Katy and Labrinth tomorrow. I think HRN and 'Paris' will both definitely be knocked out (maybe temporarily in Jay Z's case) but I don't know what the third one will be. 'Elephant' seems to be comfortably ahead of TMO but 'Elephant' is likely to drop rapidly soon. Also, 'Greyhound' seems to be dropping quite a bit now so maybe that will fall below both Alex and Guettaj at the crucial point.

Posted by: Eric_Blob 17th March 2012, 11:28 AM

Jay-Z/Kanye or Turn Me On I think could get back in the top 10, as I think JLS's song will probably only spend 1-2 weeks in the top 10 (I'm predicting it to debut at #3-#5, but if it exceeds my expectations and gets to #1 I can see it spending 3-4 weeks in the top 10).

Posted by: HausofKubrick 17th March 2012, 11:30 AM

Hot Right Now #9
Niggas In Paris #10

Damn weekend effect

Hangover #36 Only a couple of weeks top 40 for this then

Posted by: vidcapper 17th March 2012, 11:40 AM

A two week hangover - must've been quite a bender!

Posted by: SLlewellyn 17th March 2012, 12:02 PM

I don't really see Swedish House Mafia spending more than a week in the top 10 - the new additions will no doubt push it down to #9/10 - so then it's just a matter of Alexandra / David Guetta or The Throne overtaking it to push it out. It'll only be at #10 this week officially at the highest anyway, so not really a big drop if it only falls to #11/12.

Posted by: Bréyhound 17th March 2012, 12:37 PM

Shame to see Greyhound already down to #6 as well although Titanium has only overtaken due to ts Graham Norton performance to be fair.

32. Side Steps & Side Burns - The Blims
What is this and why is it now in the top 40?!

33. Paradise - Coldplay
83. One Day Like This - Elbow
I heard both of these last night on some Sport Relief programme (someone going to the South Pole) so I'm guessing that's the reason for their latest resurgences

Posted by: HausofKubrick 17th March 2012, 12:38 PM

With Taio Cruz life's always a party!!!

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 17th March 2012, 12:38 PM

As I said when numerous people asked the other day, it's the Welsh Rugby team's song. It's the final today which they should win.

Posted by: Bréyhound 17th March 2012, 12:40 PM

Oh. How uninteresting.

Posted by: Karma 17th March 2012, 12:51 PM

Come on Charlie Brown! Is its peak #15 so far? Hope they keep it 59p for a good amount of time!

Posted by: SceneofSIXCrimes 17th March 2012, 01:09 PM

I think next week's official top 5 will look like this:

01. JLS
02. Katy Perry
03. Gotye
04. Labrinth
05. Nicki Minaj

With Katy Perry probably claiming #1 next week since her video is premiering on Thursday but I don't think that will be enough to beat JLS this week. They have their crazy fans, music channels support, physicals and the charity element.

Posted by: Jason 17th March 2012, 01:10 PM

I've Youtubed that song and I liked it.

I bet my money that M.I.A. (#35 atm) won't be top 40 tomorrow.

Posted by: Eric_Blob 17th March 2012, 01:12 PM

I'll be so angry is M.I.A. isn't top 40 tommorrow.

Posted by: ElectroBoy 17th March 2012, 01:16 PM

I think KP will have it; JLS didn't get to number 1 with TACOM - despite the XF performance and the fact that it was pre album release. I know there's a charity element to it, but The Wanted's GF only got to 3, The Sats got to 2 with JCGE as well.

Either way though next week should see a bit shake up at the top

Posted by: Juranamo 17th March 2012, 01:19 PM

I'm not the only one who hadn't heard it up until very recently then.

Posted by: Bréyhound 17th March 2012, 01:19 PM

I'm beginning to think Katy has #1 in the bag as well. I'll predict:

1 Katy
2 JLS
3/4 Labrinth/Gotye (not sure what order)
5 Nicki

Posted by: Jason 17th March 2012, 01:21 PM

My top 5 prediction:

1 - Katy
2 - Gotye
3 - Nicki
4 - JLS
5 - Labrinth

Posted by: Liаm 17th March 2012, 01:29 PM

I think:

01 Katy
02 JLS
03 Labirinth
04 Gotye
05 Nicki

It'll be weird seeing Gotye fall to 4 after being so far in front for so long! He might nab 3 with Labirinth at 4 though, it's plausible.

Swedish House Mafia have gone for a very lady gaga style video i think with 'Greyhound'

What was Katy Perry's last #1, was it California Girls? I think Part Of Me may get there, still no video though.

Last Time is definitely no Earthquake so wont do half as well as Earthquake has done.

Posted by: steve201 17th March 2012, 01:32 PM

I will be gutted as well if Bad Girls by MIA isnt top 40 on sunday, its no40 from friday with the songs at 41/42 gaining more on itunes at the mo so anything could happen....it hasnt got much play nthough radio 1 have played it quite a bit - i take it capital isnt playing it? She hasnt had THAT many hits before!

I think gotye could drop 1-5 next week cos starships is catching it as well!!

Posted by: Liаm 17th March 2012, 01:36 PM

Yep, she went 1-2-3-3-9-18 with California Gurls, Teenage Dream, Firework, E.T., Last Friday Night and The One That Got Away.

Posted by: toby 17th March 2012, 01:38 PM

Whats the ''Eric Blob'' of the week?

Posted by: Eric_Blob 17th March 2012, 01:39 PM

No, I've never heard Bad Girls on Capital. The only M.I.A song I ever heard on there was Paper Planes (that was back before it was called Capital though ). And also Gimme All Your Luvin' and Chillin', if they count.

Posted by: HausofKubrick 17th March 2012, 01:48 PM

When he said Gaga was a "relatively good piano player"

Posted by: ROBOT 17th March 2012, 01:51 PM

That was Wale ft Lady Gaga, no?

Posted by: Karma 17th March 2012, 01:57 PM

Its weird isnt it because they were all such big hits but only one went to #1. They all did in US

Posted by: Eric_Blob 17th March 2012, 02:10 PM

Yeah, but it ripped off/sampled M.I.A. I think they actually sampled her, because Wale mentions M.I.A. in the song (that would be a stupid thing to do if you were trying to steal part of her song ).



I play the piano, and I can easily play most of what I've seen her play. Like that piano version of Poker Face, I could play that, it's really quite basic. I'll never know why so many people were so impressed by it. The singing was impressive, but a child could've played that on the piano. You just need to google the chord progression. And I don't consider myself any more than a "relatively good piano player".
