Anaconda is OA/OS then. Will be interesting to see how this one does. It's complete trash but I kind of like it in a weird way

Predictions:

Am I Wrong - #1
Love Runs Out - #4

Posted by: Ryan. 2nd August 2014, 11:26 PM

Looking forward to seeing Nico & Vinz at #1! Hoping OneRepublic do well as well!

^Its been hanging around for a few days

Posted by: 7Seize 2nd August 2014, 11:51 PM

Jessie's done great to get that high, though i'm still fairly certain it won't make the top 40 officially (keep in mind Vic Mensa debuted at #18 initially last week, and now there's a good chance it'll miss out )

Posted by: Jonjo 3rd August 2014, 12:02 AM

No. Charli is not a relation to me! (or at least I'm not aware of her haha )

'Guardians Of the Galaxy' <3

EDIT: that 'Higher Ground' song is actually pretty good!

Posted by: jase. 3rd August 2014, 12:24 AM

Running Low is a tune <3

Posted by: M≙th. 3rd August 2014, 01:00 AM

Wait, Running Low is out this week? I NEED TO BUY IT. Such a jam.

Posted by: Jonjo 3rd August 2014, 04:37 AM

Hope 'Love Runs Out' can get to number 1 eventually, especially as it's heavily featured on the new Xfactor advert

Posted by: SLlewellyn 3rd August 2014, 06:14 AM

I wonder which of OneRepublic, Maroon 5 and The Script's three new tracks will sell the most in the long run. All bands fill a similar gap in the market, so it's odd to see them all releasing at the same time. The success of "Ghost" should hopefully benefit "Love Runs Out" anyway, they sound similar in parts (due to Tedder's songwriting credits obviously).

Team Nico & Winz for #1 though, one of the best tracks of the year - hope it can sell well!

Also Team Jessie Ware just to get a T40 hit, darn streaming better not ruin this for her!

Posted by: Ultraviolence 3rd August 2014, 08:39 AM

1. Nico And Vinz- I Am Wrong
3. OneRepublic- Love Runs Out
24. Jessie Ware- Tough Love
47. Clean Bandit- Come Over
48. Sam Smith- I'm Not The Only One
70. DJ Cassidy- Make The World Go Round
79. Netsky- Running Low
119. Dr Meaker Ft Sian Evans- Right Back

Posted by: gooddelta 3rd August 2014, 08:51 AM

Amazing how one massive hit can remind the public that a band exists - Moves Like Jagger reignited Maroon 5's career and Counting Stars breathed new life into OneRepublic. There's no way on earth Love Runs Out would have done this well if Counting Stars hadn't existed, mainly because radio would be ignoring it right now like they were with Secrets/All The Right Moves etc...

Posted by: GRIFF 3rd August 2014, 08:53 AM

Well that's the point isn't it - if radio didn't play the song, then the public wouldn't know about it.

Posted by: Mart!n 3rd August 2014, 09:07 AM

I pretty much like the adult boy band with the likes of Maroon 5, The Script and One Republic in the chart at the same time, its like I've stepped through a timewarp

Posted by: scratchy23 3rd August 2014, 09:25 AM

Yeah but what they meant is that if Counting Stars had never existed, then radio wouldn't be touching Love Runs Out.

Posted by: gooddelta 3rd August 2014, 09:44 AM

Just makes you wonder how many other bands have been forced out of relevance too soon because of radio dictating the status quo!

Posted by: gooddelta 3rd August 2014, 10:06 AM

On another note, it's pretty significant that Nico & Vinz will be only the second all-Norwegian chart topping song ever after A-Ha's The Sun Always Shines On TV. A1 had a couple too of course with Christian from the band being from Norway. This compares to around 20 chart topping songs from Sweden (ABBA x 8, Ace of Base, Rednex, Avicii x 2, Icona Pop, Europe, Basshunter, Robyn, Swedish House Mafia, Alesso - sure I'm forgetting somebody else?), 0 from Finland and Iceland and 4 from Denmark (3 from Aqua and 1 from Whigfield).

Gooddelta - Aqua were not a wholly Danish Group. Their female lead singer - Lene Nystrøm - is Norwegian.
ABBA had 9 UK No.1 Singles, not 8. They are not a wholly Swedish Group. Frida was born in Norway. Her
mother was Norwegian & her father was German.

Wow at Jessie, fingers crossed she can stay top 20/25 until the end of the week then she should be guaranteed her first top 40 hit

Posted by: Pablo Escobar 3rd August 2014, 06:33 PM

Only 2 pages so far? wow!

The closing ceremony of the Commonwealth Games is taking place tonight so if there are any songs that are going to be performed then they could get a boost.

Posted by: mr_aly 3rd August 2014, 06:34 PM

Kylie will storm to her rightful place at number one with whatever she performs.

And then I woke up

Posted by: Brett-Butler 3rd August 2014, 08:56 PM

Prides - Messiah - #72.

Performed at the closing ceremony. Really hopes this becomes a hit for them, and doesn't taper off over the week.

215. Jessica Mauboy - Sea of Flags

Hopefully these keep rising and give Jessica a chance of getting 2 UK top 200 hits!

Posted by: mr_aly 3rd August 2014, 09:58 PM

LOVED Kylie. I'm hoping 'Into The Blue' can re-enter the top 100 and double its sales.

Posted by: Liаm 3rd August 2014, 10:03 PM

I've been waiting since 2009 for Jessica Mauboy to go anywhere notable on UK iTunes,top 200 would be more than fab. Yes I'm a very easily pleased stan.

Posted by: { bré } 3rd August 2014, 10:15 PM

I knew I recognised that song! Couldn't quite put a name to it (and I didn't rhear their name being introduced). I doubt it'll get near the top 100 officially but great to see them at least making the iTunes top 100

Posted by: Ryan. 3rd August 2014, 10:47 PM

22. Pixie Lott

Worse than I thought. Thought she would be front loaded like Cher Llod and then drop heavily through the week. Looks like it won't/barely make the top 40

Sam Smiths new one up to 48?

Posted by: April 4th August 2014, 12:59 PM

310. Nicki Minaj - Anaconda [Pre-order]

I guess they really want her to get another top 10 hit. Nicki's first held back release since "Check It Out".

Posted by: Eric_Blob 4th August 2014, 01:14 PM

And with Check It Out, it was probably will.i.am's party that got the song held back as he was also the lead artist on it, so it's basically the first time Nicki has held back one of her songs.

I have waited 5 years for her to make any form of impact <3 it's so frustrating too as she's so commercial, a proper launch could easily get her a hit.

Posted by: { bré } 4th August 2014, 04:30 PM

59. Messiah - Prides
They've also entered the top 100 with a second song ('The Seeds You Sow' at #96).

Barely paid any attention to iTunes so far this week. 'Am I Wrong' is great, another very predictable #1 but no complaints about the song. A little surprised at OneRepublic doing so well, thought they'd be around #6 or so but they look like they'll be very easily top 3. Jessie Ware still in the top 20, this surely must be a first top 40 for her now! Not heard it yet but fabulous for her.

Oh and there's also this:
73. Don’t Leave (feat. Ellie Goulding) - Seven Lions

Posted by: steve201 4th August 2014, 08:18 PM

Am I Wrong falling already so might go to No1 this week then fall the following with magic! Holding up well!!

Posted by: SLlewellyn 4th August 2014, 08:20 PM

14. Ed Sheeran "Thinking Out Loud"

Completely overshadowing the actual second single "Don't" ( to #28 though), seems we're going to have three Ed songs in the T40 for a while yet.

42. Clean Bandit "Come Over (feat. Stylo G)"

Released officially on Sunday, is it too much to ask that it scrape the T40 at some point?

Posted by: { bré } 4th August 2014, 08:29 PM

The video for 'Don't' has just premiered so it might re-overtake 'Thinking Out Loud' soon - so odd that the latter is continuing to remain ahead and only climb though, I know it has some airplay but 'Don't' has airplay as well and from the radio stations that you'd think would 'count' more

Posted by: April 4th August 2014, 08:38 PM

I've heard Thinking Out Loud on Heart FM a lot, unsurprisingly. The best thing could be to promote both singles and release a video for TOL soon as well.

Posted by: Juranamo 4th August 2014, 10:51 PM

Sorry if it's obvious (or already been mentioned), but why is Jessica Mauboy smashing the iTunes Top 200? I haven't heard 'I Believe', but 'Sea Of Flags' is great!

Posted by: Doctor Blind 4th August 2014, 10:54 PM

She was topless against a backdrop of a Nazi party rally from Reichsparteitagsgelände on Channel 5 for their alternative coverage to mark 100 years since the great war started.

(actually she performed at the closing ceremony of the Commonwealth Games but I had you there for a minute~)

Posted by: gavindeejay 4th August 2014, 11:01 PM

It's been played 58 times in the last 30 days on Heart. They're not playing 'Sing' or 'Don't' by the looks of it!

Posted by: Rush 4th August 2014, 11:09 PM

The Script, i am confused, is im not right for you the new single or superheroes?

Posted by: Therm• 5th August 2014, 08:27 AM

I'm Not Right For You is the chart eligible instant grat from their album
Superheroes is the single

Posted by: iain 5th August 2014, 08:42 AM

It's not looking good for Union J, although I like them more than I like their music.

Also interesting to see that Maroon 5 are holding on with It Was Only You. I expected it to drop quickly like other instant grat tracks

Posted by: ElectroBoy 5th August 2014, 09:44 AM

To be honest I thought it was looking better than usual for them - it's been about top 1000 (top 50 upon inital pre-order) for about 6 weeks now, so they should get a top 40 out of it, I was expecting them to drop completely out after a week of being on pre-order (bit like the Sats have done). Obviously they're going to be cained by the inclusion of steaming, but I don't think a top 10 is out of the question for them. I'm guessing it will debut high and drop like a stone, like their previous releases.

Posted by: Rob Steel 5th August 2014, 09:45 AM

I'm glad it's holding up longer than expected. It should have been the lead single not Maps. Very retarded decision on the labels part imo.

Excuse me but why is this so high? If it was because of Commonwealth I feel like it would have been mentioned previously...

Posted by: Bradders 5th August 2014, 02:46 PM

It's Slipknot's first new material in 6 years

Posted by: SLlewellyn 5th August 2014, 03:10 PM

Debuted on Zane Lowe's show last night and received another play on Fearne Cotton's show this morning. Can only assume the continued rise is due to word spreading about their new material. Would be nice to have a bit of rock in the official charts again, Twin Atlantic should add to that with their new single soon (though it's more rock-pop than anything).

As much as I am LOVING this new revival for 1R, I really do wish that 'Secrets' & 'Say (All I Need)' had got them more success over here. 'Secrets' was pretty big in America, wasn't it? So to see it not even chart here was not only baffling, but pretty heartbreaking to see. I do believe all 'Secrets' needs is an X Factor boost or something!

Posted by: Jack 5th August 2014, 05:32 PM

Really hope Lovers On The Sun doesn't go #1. Just mindless EDM. The absolute worst kind of music.

THIS. I really do not understand why it is as popular as it is.

Posted by: JosephStyles 5th August 2014, 06:13 PM

It's SUCH an Avicii rip-off also, so uninspired.

Posted by: Ryan. 5th August 2014, 06:26 PM

Yeah I don't really get 'Lovers on the Sun' at all, I don't want it to be #1.

Posted by: n4yr 5th August 2014, 06:34 PM

That's because Avicii is one of the producers on it

Posted by: Eric_Blob 5th August 2014, 06:46 PM

lol this is exactly what I thought when I first heard it, but then I found out that he co-produced it. Whilst I didn't like Wake Me Up very much, I did at least appreciate that Avicii tried something a bit different, but if every dance-pop producer starts doing this country/folk kind of thing it'll get quite annoying.

I hope the song is out next week, as it's not THAT high on pre-orders that it guarantees a #1, but if it's out later it looks like it'll get there.

Posted by: Therm• 5th August 2014, 06:51 PM

Lovers on the Sun is definitely uninspiring. I kinda like it but it's so obvious he's ripping off Wake Me Up in order to get a cheap hit You can do better than this David

Posted by: JosephStyles 5th August 2014, 07:02 PM

Makes sense Still sounds exactly like Wake Me Up/Hey Brother, Avicii can do better than rip-off his own songs.

Posted by: Liаm 5th August 2014, 07:06 PM

Lovers On The Sun really is the much worse version of Wake Me Up, which is an achievement in itself

Posted by: Pablo Escobar 5th August 2014, 07:11 PM

Did this song ever get into the top 40 in the UK? it was quite a big tune a few years ago:

Posted by: Mack 5th August 2014, 07:17 PM

No it didn't make the Top40. It got to #47 back in 2005.

Posted by: Pablo Escobar 5th August 2014, 07:21 PM

Wow that's a surprise, this song was everywhere!

Posted by: Mart!n 5th August 2014, 07:28 PM

And this week's oddball track to appear later Katy Perry 'Roar' it was used in Eastenders tonight

Posted by: Juranamo 5th August 2014, 08:22 PM

I actually wouldn't mind 'Lovers On The Sun' going to #1. I much prefer it the 'Wake Me Up' and 'Hey Brother' (not as much as the other big country-dance song though, 'Timber'), I am shocked at how well the pre-order is doing though! I would have thought these types of songs were past their sell by date now...

Posted by: steve201 5th August 2014, 08:23 PM

Just heard Ben Howard's new single on Zane Lowe - it's been a long time waiting but worth the wait 7min 43sec of pure brilliance. Hope it does well!! Maybe a early release?!

Posted by: M¤th 5th August 2014, 08:59 PM

'Lovers On The Sun' is nice but not even close to as good or original as 'Shot Me Down' (unpopular opinion, I know) or 'Bad'. Wouldn't be shocked in any way if it does hit #1 though.

Posted by: mr_aly 5th August 2014, 09:01 PM

Surely 'Shot Me Down' is equally (at least) unoriginal in the way it's a sloppy cover that copied the backing track of 'Animals' so shamelessly?

I really enjoyed 'Bad', but he's becoming the new Cascada in the way he rips off recent hits so much.

Posted by: M¤th 5th August 2014, 09:05 PM

Wait I think I phrased that wrong, those are pretty unoriginal I forgot about the Animals similarity. I guess 'Blast Off' is relatively original in a absolutely-awful-sounding-tripe kind of way.

Posted by: SevenSeize 5th August 2014, 09:22 PM

wow a song that's basically just Wake Me Up 2.0 (except nowhere as good) but with David Guetta's name attached to it, selling by the truckload? colour me well & truly shocked.

Posted by: gavindeejay 5th August 2014, 09:29 PM

He was right to pull 'Blast Off' as a single, it would of flopped and after 'Bad' underperforming I think it would of been the final straw for the likes of Radio 1 to look at his music. Whilst it's not original, 'Lovers On The Sun' is a great familiar feel good pop/dance record that people enjoy, hence why it's doing well on pre-orders. I hope his new album has one or two big hits waiting for us. I can't believe it's been 3 years since Nothing But The Beat came out!

Posted by: { bré } 5th August 2014, 09:30 PM

It's not even doing that well though, it might get to #1 on account of there being nothing bigger out the same week but its pre-order isn't exactly indicating a massive seller (unless it picks up a lot next week).

Posted by: SevenSeize 5th August 2014, 09:31 PM

but for some genuine surprise, Vandaag springing back up into the top 10! thought it'd just kinda trail off from here. shows this easily could've peaked as high as Jubel/Changes with the same support

I HAVE A DREAM, THAT ONE DAY.........Capital & Radio 1 will realise their silly mistake and playlist this song!!

Posted by: missingyou 5th August 2014, 09:36 PM

Roar is at #106 after being used in EastEnders tonight.

Posted by: gavindeejay 5th August 2014, 09:37 PM

I think Radio 1 will brush it under the carpet now, but Capital/Kiss will probably jump on the bandwagon.

Posted by: Therm• 5th August 2014, 09:43 PM

It really is amazing how Vandaag is holding up with seemingly no major radio airplay.

Radio 1 have played it 4 times in the last month and Capital have played it once. Heart have also played it once. Capital Xtra see the light though and have played it 130 times. G'won Capital Xtra tell them other radio stations who really owns the chart

Posted by: gavindeejay 5th August 2014, 10:04 PM

Compare my radio also registers plays from Big Top 40 show, which is why both Heart and Capital have played it once.

10. Ariana Grande- Break Free
How long has this been on release?

Posted by: Dobbo 6th August 2014, 08:19 AM

Ah so it's been released early? Makes sense because it was never gonna win a battle with Duke Dumont & Lilly Wood. Still don't see it being #1 though.

Posted by: Therm• 6th August 2014, 08:22 AM

What a stupid move from Ariana this is. A mid-week release for Break Free, and it won't even be chart eligible for a few weeks because it's an instant grat alongside Problem

Posted by: Dobbo 6th August 2014, 08:30 AM

Isn't one instant grat per album allowed?

Posted by: Rush 6th August 2014, 08:37 AM

While I don't think we've seen any examples of the chart eligible instant grat not being the first one (apart from Eminem but all 4 were released at once), the rules state they're allowed to nominate a specific one, right? So they could sacrifice 3 weeks of Problem charting to have Break Free. If they cared that is; considering this random midweek timing and that they deleted the Problem single, it's probably safe to assume they don't (despite caring enough to hold back Problem??). Oh well, I like the song but I wasn't fond of the idea of Zedd getting another big hit anyway ~

Edit: Looks like Break Free still isn't on UK Spotify, it's doing really well in the US & Australia so it certainly would help it out when it's allowed to chart if they made it available now.

Posted by: Let Go For 2nite 6th August 2014, 08:38 AM

No Ed Sheeran had like 5 before his album release

Posted by: Rush 6th August 2014, 08:43 AM

8 in fact (proof: https://archive.today/nmPG0)

(I think Dobbo meant chart-wise though)

Posted by: Dobbo 6th August 2014, 08:44 AM

As in chart eligible I meant. One was allowed, so I don't see why Break Free won't be?

Posted by: Rush 6th August 2014, 08:45 AM

because Problem has already been an instant grat for a few weeks

Posted by: Let Go For 2nite 6th August 2014, 08:47 AM

How her record label thought this was gonna work is beyond me

Posted by: Dobbo 6th August 2014, 08:49 AM

I thought Problem was just the lead single before the album? This topic always confuses me haha. Take 5SOS as an example, released SLSP, then the chart-eligible grat was Good Girls, both charted simulatenously right? What's the difference here?

Posted by: gavindeejay 6th August 2014, 08:50 AM

20. Slipknot - The Negative One - Top 40 on Sunday just to hear Jameelas reaction to playing metal music

Posted by: Rush 6th August 2014, 08:55 AM

Problem was initially released as a 1-track single, but they deleted that and made it available to buy off the album pre-order (which makes it an instant grat) a few weeks ago. SLSP was never made available off the album pre-order, just the single, so Good Girls was the first instant grat, making it chart eligible by default. Ed Sheeran was similar to the latter in that One was the first instant grat, though Sing was changed to an instant grat like a day before album release, if I recall correctly.

Posted by: Dobbo 6th August 2014, 09:01 AM

Ah right, I was unaware that Problem was switched to album pre-order only, thanks for the clarification!

Posted by: Mart!n 6th August 2014, 10:46 AM

I've only just came across Slipknot, seems to be doing quite well, for some reason I just cannot see it top 40 in the official chart

Posted by: scratchy23 6th August 2014, 11:51 AM

Posted by: mr_aly 6th August 2014, 11:54 AM

That is a majorly stupid decision re: Ariana. Oh well.

Posted by: { bré } 6th August 2014, 11:58 AM

About the stupidest way they could have dealt with it. Half way between OA/OS and held back for months, released midweek and not even eligible to chart on top of all of that. It's like they're actively trying to handle this era as badly as possible.

Posted by: M¤th 6th August 2014, 12:24 PM

They should have just pushed back the album a couple weeks and gave 'Break Free' a proper push to radio.

Posted by: Jonjo 6th August 2014, 12:34 PM

If it's not chart eligible anyway, then what's wrong with the mid week release? I'm still confident it'll be a smash hit though.

Posted by: { bré } 6th August 2014, 12:41 PM

I suppose nothing but it's funnier to portray it as a combination of all the terrible ways to handle UK releases

Posted by: Ryan. 6th August 2014, 02:29 PM

Surprising but glad to see 'Break Free' has been released! I'm expecting to drop very quickly after this initial run in the top 10 though as I don't think it has any radio support yet.

Also, Meghan's pre-order is finally making an impact!

With 'Thinking Out Loud' still significantly higher.

Posted by: Eric_Blob 7th August 2014, 01:02 PM

lol yeah. I wonder if/when it'll overtake it. I think it probably will since I can't see Don't missing the top 10, whilst I can't see Thinking Out Loud making top 10 just off Heart FM airplay (or mainly that).

Posted by: scratchy23 7th August 2014, 02:23 PM

This reminds me of the Beyonce XO/Drunk In Love situation, Drunk In Love was the CLEAR favourite of all the tracks on 'BEYONCÉ' but the label were pushing for XO to be the lead single. But Drunk In Love being so popular totally overshadowed it, and both tracks suffered as a result.

In the same way, the label needs to realise that Thinking Out Loud is the obvious favourite track on 'x' (besides Sing of course), they need to push 'Don't' back, and give Thinking Out Loud all the space it needs to shine. Otherwise, both tracks are gonna peak in the mid-teens.

Posted by: Let Go For 2nite 7th August 2014, 03:12 PM

I'm sure Beyonce manages herself so it would have been her decision to release two singles, one for urban radio and one for commercial, I don't think she expected Drunk In Love to do better tbh

Posted by: { bré } 7th August 2014, 03:14 PM

That only makes sense in the US where 'urban radio' is a thing (I know such stations exist in the UK but they're not really anything more than a niche). In the UK 'Drunk In Love' wasn't a current single at all for most of its chart run.

Posted by: mr_aly 7th August 2014, 03:22 PM

I'm pretty sure they're saving 'Thinking Out Loud' for the big X-Factor performance and it'll be a mega top 3 hit around that point.

Posted by: Noahspike 7th August 2014, 03:31 PM

I really don't see much of an issue with the 'Don't'/'Thinking Out Loud' situation and think the label was right not to switch singles. Ed's level of popularity means that they can co-exist and probably still both achieve a top 10 placing at some point. 'Don't' has just been A-listed on Radio 1 and a video was released a few days ago so it's still too early to say that it'll underperform due to 'Thinking Out Loud' being ahead (if an underperformance is seen as anything lower than top 10). Even if it doesn't get there, having two (nearly three) songs currently in the iTunes top 20 isn't exactly doing any harm to album sales (which is the primary focus)! I've always thought 'Thinking Out Loud' has a classic feel to it, not unlike 'Someone Like You', so I don't think its current charting will damage its potential peak too much. I'd assume it'll get an X Factor performance and be hammered on radio throughout Q4, as mr_aly has said.

Posted by: steve201 7th August 2014, 03:44 PM

Yeh Dont will go top 10/20 in the coming weeks and Thinking will get an XF performance and be massive right up until the new year and sell alot in the long run like the album - not sure where both will peak though!

Posted by: { bré } 7th August 2014, 04:05 PM

Don't is now on the verge of re-overtaking anyway (only lagging by 4 places and it'll continue to catch up as its airplay increases).

Posted by: mr_aly 7th August 2014, 04:49 PM

As I just suggested in their forum, I do believe their label are releasing the GH to wrap up their contract and end them after Living For The Weekend.

They've put precisely zero effort into it so it does make sense.

Posted by: Liаm 7th August 2014, 04:51 PM

They're probably discouraged by the lack of radio support, but promo would get them higher than very low top 40, which about the best outcome I can see ugh, it's such a good song too, gonna be a gutting flop.

Posted by: Jack 7th August 2014, 05:17 PM

I think they will miss Top 40 now .

Unless you have a really massive performance on Tv, there's just really nothing you can do if the radios have snubbed you.

The initial pre-order "success" gives me the tiniest hope they'll make it on sales, streaming will probably push them down to like #43 it's so frustrating with all the crap that can cruise to top 40/20/10 on nothing at all, but mostly becsuse they've put hardly any effort into this single... It's almost like it's a buzz single for the fans or an album promo single. Although even promo can only do so much with a lack of radio support I guess. It's a shame, but not a surprise unfortunately.

Posted by: SevenSeize 7th August 2014, 05:49 PM

WAYWF won't miss the top 40 imo (granted I said the same re: pixie last wk so take this w/ a pinch of salt o.o)

the pre order went very high initially and they'll (~presumably~) have plenty of promo next wk

Posted by: Joe. 7th August 2014, 05:53 PM

They have the national Lottery on Saturday evening and a couple of small performances in the week. It's going to be touch and go.
They've always been a group that out-do what their pre-orders suggest, but these have been shockingly bad. Though it did go to like #100 initially. I'm thinking about 25 for sales, maybe 30 - 35 after streaming.

Posted by: mr_aly 7th August 2014, 07:23 PM

Probably the worst single in her discography.

"Outrageous" is waving back at you.

Posted by: mr_aly 7th August 2014, 07:25 PM

That's pretty up there as well.

Posted by: ▲Rob▲ 7th August 2014, 07:25 PM

Why are these on the rise? Not that in complaining! 'I Love Rock 'N' Roll' seems very random!

Ah ILR'N'R is 59p!

Posted by: jazzy_765 7th August 2014, 07:31 PM

I wonder whether Amelia Lily will suffer the same or worse fate as The Saturdays when it gets released. California is such a catchy song too..... Does anybody know if it's getting any tv/radio support yet?!

Posted by: AcerBen 7th August 2014, 07:48 PM

If The Saturdays can go top 20 with a post-album single they probably have enough of a fanbase to get them top 40 with a new single.

Posted by: Nick F1 7th August 2014, 07:49 PM

naah "Outrageous" is good

PERFUME

Posted by: ▲Rob▲ 7th August 2014, 08:33 PM

'I Love Rock 'N' Roll' is Britney's worst single by far.

'3' is amazing!

Posted by: Defaze 7th August 2014, 08:43 PM

Well Clyde 1 were about to play it just as I was leaving my car. Not all that promising though, since they also give 'What Are You Waiting For', 'Home' by Naughty Boy and 'Lay Me Down' quite a few spins and they all flopped/look set to flop.

Posted by: Eric_Blob 7th August 2014, 10:07 PM

Never heard the song on the radio, but I saw an advert for the song on Youtube for some reason.

Posted by: steve201 7th August 2014, 10:13 PM

I think the Saturdays will go top 40 but it's hilarious reading the fans thoughts at how poorly they're gonna do lol

Posted by: Juranamo 7th August 2014, 10:22 PM

I got an 'advert' on Youtube for it too. By advert, I mean they played the whole song before the song I actually wanted to listen to! I then ended up with 'Californ-I-Ay' stuck in my head for the rest of the day.

Posted by: Therm• 7th August 2014, 10:23 PM

Did you not click 'skip ad' or refresh the page then?

Posted by: Juranamo 7th August 2014, 10:26 PM

I like the song so was more than happy to wait for Grant Nicholas to play!

Posted by: Jade 7th August 2014, 10:26 PM

THIS. Or 'Ooh La La' if that counts.

-x-

Pretty awful that The Saturdays look like they have a flop in their hands. Obviously a bit premature but that ain't a good sign looking at the pre-order. It actually sounds like a big hit as well - much more commercial appeal IMO than the likes of 'Gentleman' but if it misses top 40 then that will be pretty shocking. The thread next week will be even more of a hot mess than usual Sats release week threads by the looks of things

Posted by: Eric_Blob 7th August 2014, 10:43 PM

Personally, I pressed 'skip ad' as soon as I heard her song.

However, sometimes I've gone to listen to a song I've not heard before on Youtube and then listened to the whole song only to find out it was an advert.

'3' is in my top 5 fave Brit tunes, 'Outrageous' is pretty much the only Brit single i'm not a fan of really.

I hope there is an edit version of "Two Weeks" if it gets top 40... I'm dreaming...

Posted by: Therm• 8th August 2014, 09:14 AM

It's A-listed on Radio 1. Of course there's an edit version

So it is my excuse is I don't listen to Radio 1, apart from Sundays.

The only Saturdays song inside the top 1500 is...

616. Disco Love - The Saturdays

Posted by: Ryan. 8th August 2014, 09:30 PM

My feed must have just updated as it says for me that:

17. The Saturdays - What Are You Waiting For?

Can't believe Big Brother had such a massive effect

Posted by: *Tim 8th August 2014, 09:33 PM

Don't be lying!!

Posted by: SevenSeize 8th August 2014, 09:34 PM

#17 on "The Saturdays chart" i assume??

Posted by: Therm• 8th August 2014, 09:38 PM

LOL

they're actually at #755. On the pop chart. Currently being outsold by Disco Love of all Sats songs.

Posted by: Kl▲mzee 8th August 2014, 09:39 PM

'Break Free' really sounds like an anonymous BJSC winner of 2011 doesn't it?

Posted by: JAY17 8th August 2014, 09:47 PM

Anyone thinks that there's any chance Kiesza could grab the No.1 next week then?

Some very strong songs at the top of that pre-order update.

Posted by: mr_aly 8th August 2014, 09:48 PM

I still think think Kiesza will get #5/#6 but that's still a very good showing.

Posted by: Ryan. 8th August 2014, 09:52 PM

Oh I must have got mixed up, I thought Bré was telling me an iTunes update when in fact it must have been a sneak preview of his next personal chart!

Posted by: James1987 8th August 2014, 09:56 PM

Great to see Duke top 100 already, hopefully it can keep on climbing!

Hoping Lilly can do the same soon, so close!

Posted by: Insomnio 8th August 2014, 10:13 PM

Glorious has great production! It's one of my favourite songs right now..

Posted by: JAY17 8th August 2014, 10:20 PM

10th Aug Kiesza - Giant In My Heart
17th Aug Wankelmut & Emma Louise - My Head Is A Jungle (MK Remix)
24th Aug Duke Dumont - Won't Look Back

In a perfect world these would be three consecutive number ones

I think Kiesza, and Duke most defiantly, are in for a good shot, but sadly not Wankelmut, as I'm sure David Guetta will get to the top.

Posted by: JosephStyles 8th August 2014, 10:28 PM

Don't think Kiesza stands a chance of #1 myself - she's only picked up this past week, before then it was doing good but not great. Expecting around #3 maybe for it.

Posted by: Let Go For 2nite 8th August 2014, 10:36 PM

Yay

Posted by: Royals 8th August 2014, 10:46 PM

56 Kiesza Giant In My Heart

Posted by: Dobbo 8th August 2014, 10:47 PM

Still think Kiesza will be #3 behind Nico & Vinz & Magic. Don't see how anything else could be higher.

Posted by: mr_aly 8th August 2014, 10:48 PM

Actually that sounds about right, OneRepublic will have fallen away quite a bit by then and Zhu and Cheryl probably won't be higher.

Posted by: Doctor Blind 8th August 2014, 10:56 PM

Impressive that alt-J are hanging about at No. 76 - get that slow burner!

Posted by: JAY17 8th August 2014, 10:56 PM

Sadly, I think that sounds about right.

I do think some people are underestimating it though, I think #5 or #6 will be too low.

Though saying that, 'Rude' and 'Am I Wrong?' are both great songs, so it's not as frustrating.

Posted by: SevenSeize 8th August 2014, 11:31 PM

expecting maybe #4 at the highest for Kiesza. the pre-order is doing very well now, especially with no Capital FM support thus far!

as for the other two; Duke will have a very good chance of course (depends on how big Prayer In C ends up being though), can't really see My Head Is A Jungle even making the top 10 really

Posted by: Jonjo 9th August 2014, 02:13 AM

Could Keisza please not climb any further. The overplay of 'Hideaway' has killed this song for me as I find them pretty similar anyway. Such a shame really as 'Hideaway' started out so good, before getting grating.

EDIT: The Saturdays 'What Are You Waiting For?' is still not back in the top 1500, despite being released on Sunday AND being used as Winston's eviction song from Big Brother? FUUUUCK

Posted by: SLlewellyn 9th August 2014, 06:04 AM

It's great to see Kiesza looking to avoid the one-hit wonder status, but I can't see "Giant In My Heart" hitting #1, regardless of how well the pre-order is doing. With streaming sales now adding a good 10k to #1 contenders, Nico & Vinz and Magic should still sell pretty well next week. I'm going to predict #4.

As for the weeks afterwards, the Lilly Wood/David Guetta battle is interesting. Again, neither could hit the summit on account of the streaming giving other songs boosts. I'm loving both at the moment, but "Lovers on the Sun" tips it for me. Duke Dumont for the week after too!

Posted by: GTH 9th August 2014, 08:11 AM

Finally got around to listening to that new Saturdays song and it is awful. Completely generic club fodder. Such a shame to go from Disco Love (which is pop gold) to that. Not surprised it isn't taking off.

Come Over is edging closer to the top 40. Hoping it can at least manage to go top 40 before vanishing from the chart.

Posted by: shadow2009 9th August 2014, 02:48 PM

Is No Mediocre looking like it'll be a decent hit? I'm thinking it'll do a 'Get Like Me' at best, but no idea if the pre-order has been doing well or not.

Posted by: *Tim 9th August 2014, 02:59 PM

It sold another 2 copies
1191

Posted by: SLlewellyn 9th August 2014, 03:15 PM

I'd say the pre-order has been doing alright actually. Saying that, I have a feeling "Get Like Me" was a lot higher when it was up for pre-order. I'd like to see it reach T20, but with streaming now I reckon a low 30 placing is more realistic. Great to have Iggy on another chart hit, and T.I. too of course!

Posted by: Eric_Blob 9th August 2014, 03:52 PM

It's doing okay I suppose, but I remember Leah McFall's song was top 1500 on pre-orders for ages and it missed the top 40, so I'm not sure that No Mediocre will get there.
