A really dead week this week, it looks to me like Union J could possibly even be the highest new entry?
Posted by: { bré } Nov 30 2014, 12:04 AM
1 Ed Sheeran - Thinking Out Loud 1.0000
2 Take That - These Days 0.8616
Olly 0.8724 and Taylor 0.8642 combined. (Of course Ed also has another version though so these and TT are actually lower).
Posted by: Ryan. Nov 30 2014, 12:05 AM
Ella, Taylor or Blonde for #1 please!
I would guess at Blonde being the highest new entry, I doubt Union J's X Factor performance will have much effect - at least not enough to overcome Blonde's overall higher popularity (judging by the pre-orders).
Posted by: mr_aly Nov 30 2014, 12:06 AM
OH of course, Blonde.
Posted by: SavenSeize's Cat Nov 30 2014, 12:08 AM
i'd be pretty stunned if they weren't. good airplay, big fanbase and an XF performance- I can see them being #1 in the first mids, then a few places lower by Sunday
Blonde should hopefully make the top 15, glad that looks set to do well anyhow!
(lol @ Ed's lead atm)
Posted by: { bré } Nov 30 2014, 12:08 AM
I could easily see Union J being the highest new entry and getting their biggest hit yet TBH, they seem to have a lot going for them. They could even possibly be #1 in the first mids.
Looking like it'll be Ed back at #1 unless his XF effect wears off very quickly or the XF effect for Ella / Union J is very big. Poor Olly, he really had a chance but I doubt he'll be able to come back from this especially as Ed has an even bigger streaming advantage than him! Although if he can do well from the This Morning promo maybe that could cancel out Ed's XF boost (I guess a fair amount of it went into today's chart).
Posted by: Santa Martin Nov 30 2014, 12:08 AM
Musical guests added, Ella is on Jonathan Ross next Saturday, some added boost.
Posted by: JosephStyles Nov 30 2014, 12:09 AM
I can see Blonde replicating The Magician tbh, I do think Union J's X Factor performance will push them ahead (it's had an effect for every performer this series, not noticeable for Taylor/Jessie J who were already pretty high anyway), plus they have 3 physicals in a bundle with a download too, plus the version with The Vamps which has been doing well on pre-orders too. I think it's set to give them a top 3 hit, or top 5 at the very least!

Can't believe I'm actually wanting a Union J song to be a genuine hit. 'You Got It All' is really good.
Posted by: Jason Nov 30 2014, 02:27 AM
Really surprised that Secondcity's What Can I Do is as high as #31
It's not in the Radio 1 and Capital FM playlists. There's no hype around it. It's far inferior to 'I Wanna Feel' imo . I can't understand.

Must have just been on pre-order for ages. I'd be surprised if it climbs any higher than #31.
Looks like it could possibly remove Secondcity's one hit wonder status (technically) though, hooray.
Just leaves the following acts who had a #1 this year as one hit wonders: Borgeous, Cody Wise, Jax Jones, Lilly Wood, MAGIC!, Meghan Trainor, Nico & Vinz, Oliver Heldens, Robin Schulz, Route 94 (plus technically Band Aid 30 and Gareth Malone's All Star Choir).
Well Meghan and Oliver are guaranteed to get a second hit, Mr Probz pretty much is too, and Robin Schulz/Route 94 had another hit as a remixer (Robin's of course being bigger than his credited hit) so it's not as bad as it looks

Ed sheeran building towards another million seller, I hope union j do well as a lot rests on this single for them. Take that should hold up OK next week as the album version will be added.Olly is holding on very well too which is great,I'dlo e if eElla Henderson could make the top 10,the upcoming g top 10 is my fave of the year.

Yes at P Money's EP being top 100 Always felt he was too closely associated with the dubstep phase tbh.
Great to see Blonde top 10! Nico & Vinz and Secondcity songs are all right, but not a patch on their Number 1s.
Posted by: JimmyT Nov 30 2014, 08:57 AM
Has Ella's new single pack actually been released? can't see it anywhere...her vid isn't out until weds.
They have either had a genius plan or a complete cock up...

SecondCity off to a flyer! I really didn't expect anything from this (couldn't see it in the top 1500 on pre-orders and felt no hype) but hopefully can make top 40. Prefer it to I Wanna Feel.

Union J don't seem to be on streaming at the moment, so that will push them down a few places in the chart next Sunday if they don't show up soon
Posted by: gooddelta Nov 30 2014, 12:21 PM
Did the Paul McCartney single actually come out? It's shockingly good and I'd have downloaded it but it doesn't seem to be available anywhere...
Posted by: Campbell Nov 30 2014, 12:22 PM
I can see Ella climbing massively after her X Factor performance tonight, possibly even challenging for the number one. The song is great and her live performance of it will hopefully be amazing!

Be interesting to see how far this will rise after their XF performance and weather it will actually hold up throughout the week with the added bit of promotion.

Oh my god!! What a comeback!No, Blonde as in: two Bristol lads who did a really good re-working of "Rhythm Of The Night". Then did a piss-weak-Lidl-lite version of "White Noise" and called it "I Loved You" which everyone preceded to inexplicably love.

Not out until tomorrow for some reason.
Silence, slag.

Ed Sheeran's new lead seems to have stalled now. EDIT: Against Taylor and co at least, Take That are still rapidly dropping
Woop for Blonde in the top 5. By no means the best of the dance hits of the year but it is rather good and *.* for Melissa Steel coming for a second top 10 hit.
Posted by: JosephStyles Nov 30 2014, 01:51 PM
It's a bit too early to say but this is looking to be their biggest hit yet imo. I may be completely off the mark here but I can't see it falling as quickly as Tonight (We Live Forever) at all.
Posted by: JimmyT Nov 30 2014, 01:59 PM
Don't think they can just happen across lots more new boy band fans to sustain them. Although admittedly hooking up with the Vamps single tomorrow may give it more legs than usual... But that's for the Vamps not UJ.

143. Nico & Vinz - In Your Arms

very good for Blonde thus far 
should have a guaranteed top 10 place then. Still expecting Union J to have the highest new entry what with their XF performance, multiple versions etc.
Posted by: gooddelta Nov 30 2014, 02:23 PM
Strange to see Tiesto follow two pretty huge smashes with a song likely to come nowhere near the top 200. What happened!?! Likewise poor Nico & Vinz, it's hardly that much worse than Am I Wrong to deserve such an embarrassing flop
Posted by: JosephStyles Nov 30 2014, 02:23 PM
Well none of their other songs have had the exposure this has had
(ie. an X Factor performance and Heart airplay) That's why I think it'll be their biggest hit yet. Could see it at least doing similarly to Labrinth's Jealous, maybe even better cause the song is higher pre-performance.
Posted by: HonkyBonkington Nov 30 2014, 02:27 PM
It is quite surprising for N&V to be flopping. I thought a month or two ago it would have been a easy top 5 hit. How wrong was I. Guess that's what you get for no promoting gentleman.
Posted by: #IMPACT!! Nov 30 2014, 02:45 PM
They should self-promote like GaGa did and get an organic hit like C2C.
Posted by: Dobbo Nov 30 2014, 02:58 PM
In Your Arms doing nothing is not in the least bit surprising. Has it had a single radio play anywhere? The large majority of the GP won't even know it's out.
Posted by: #IMPACT!! Nov 30 2014, 03:02 PM
Coldplay are on the wane though. Following the same trajectory as U2.

Posted by: The Hit Parade Nov 30 2014, 04:43 PM
I've heard it on Radio 2 a fair bit. Surely those can't be the only two places playing it???
Posted by: ML Hammer95 Nov 30 2014, 04:46 PM
Does seem strange, its a very radio-friendly song which I would have expected to go at least top 40.

Don't forget that Ella Henderson 'Yours' is coming just over the horizon...
Could well get #1 this week.
Posted by: Eric_Blob Nov 30 2014, 06:01 PM
I'm sure there are other stations playing it, but for the charts it's mainly Capital FM that matters (Radio 1 also matters, and Heart FM a bit, the other stations have a negligible effect in my experience).
But also this song is nowhere near as good as Am I Wrong (at least in my opinion).
Posted by: BrookeOlivia Nov 30 2014, 06:08 PM
I know, I'd love it to enter top 40 again this year officially.

Looking at the latest on Kworb, I'm guessing UJ will jump up to 4 post performance... There is a bit of gap after that.
Unless something weird happens like after Labrinth performed BUB and that stormed to number 1; but I can't see that happening
Posted by: BrasselsSprouts Nov 30 2014, 08:01 PM
A week tomorrow I believe.
They seem to have stopped decreasing on iTunes for now anyway, had a few green updates in a row. They could start gaining a lot again tomorrow.

It's entirely possible Ella Henderson's performance could give her a Labrinth-esque boost.

Forgot she was performing - yeah could well happen - especially seeing as it got a fairly big boost just off the back of being used on Hollyoaks.
Posted by: BrasselsSprouts Nov 30 2014, 08:05 PM
It's unlikely they'll need that many CD sales to contend for a return to the top (for a week anyway, the XF winner the following week will of course be a much bigger challenger) so I think it's very possible.
Posted by: BrasselsSprouts Nov 30 2014, 08:41 PM
Well there was Ella - really good performance IMO. Must be coming for top 10 at the very least I'd think.

O, not as big an immediate effect as I was expecting for Ella. Maybe that's just a 'partial update' though who knows ~
Union J definitely heading for #1 in the first mids at this rate it seems, especially with the Vamps version out tomorrow - could they even get #1 for the whole week?! A very Westlife-esque song from them, this career path could be much more fruitful for them than their previous 1D ripoffs.
Posted by: SNOWING ADAM Nov 30 2014, 09:17 PM

Yes, I've said all along that they should be the new Westlife not the new One Direction. Smart move.
And that performance was actually very good. They showed Stereo Kicks up.

I predict UJ will lead with a few hundred to a few thousand copies ahead on Tues, or TOL will beat them by only a little. They will then get about 5k or so lead all week up until maybe Friday TOL or perhaps Blank Space will catch up but as always streams flow more at the weekend

Come on Union J get that #1! They have massive single signings this week too.
Ella not getting the boost expected however her album has surged up, The GP are now aware of some of her songs so have got the album instead of the single.
Posted by: Jonjo Nov 30 2014, 10:04 PM
Sales must be on course for about 50k for the number 1 if Union J have made that ground up as fast as they have done? Impressed for them though. (As I keep mentioning, I'll stop now, sorry )

That boost for Union J is pretty big! Could end up #1 tomorrow.
Posted by: Joe Ho Ho. Nov 30 2014, 10:11 PM
Ella's performance has given the album a big boost. So even if the single doesn't, I can imagine the album will re enter the top 10.
Posted by: JimmyT Nov 30 2014, 10:14 PM
To be fair UnionJ did a very good professional job, as did Ella (as expected).
Still think 'Ella's team' did very little promo for this and there was no buzz leading up to the performance (no new single pack, no video). That said Chapter One is now #8 and climbing which I guess was a major aim.
Posted by: JosephCarey Nov 30 2014, 10:14 PM
To Be fair, Yours has climbed a good 50 or so places, that's a good boost I think I think it will go top 10 within 24 hours, can see it doing similarly to Like I Can.

I thought it would boost the album more than the song for Ella. But good news is that heart playlisted yours, so hopefully airplay will pick up as the week progresses to help stabalise and perhaps even boost it higher once the X-factor effect wears off. 
Also - Leona Lewis "Run" to #102 & "One More Sleep" at #136.
Posted by: BrookeOlivia Nov 30 2014, 10:47 PM
One More Sleep keep climbing 1st December tomorrow so i am hoping Leona will push into the top 100 this week! top 75 by end of the week be great.
Posted by: Dmdr Nov 30 2014, 10:48 PM
Can I ask, I heard that some Xmas songs always get discounted to 59p on the 1st of December every year, does that normally happen at midnight straight away or is it during the day?
I hope Leona's OMS is on there.

But i shall make sure i keep you updated hourly if you want so you can keep the sarcastic comments coming. 
Posted by: RobSleighers Nov 30 2014, 10:55 PM
I'd love some different XMAS tracks get more of a boost as well as the usual Wham, Mariah etc who always benefit the most. Stay Another Day would be a prime example. Would love it to re-enter the top 40 or top 50 at least
Posted by: Joe Ho Ho. Nov 30 2014, 10:56 PM
Ella is at 16 now. I reckon top 10 tomorrow.
- the thing with the Leona updates is that, regardless of whether you're a fan or not, it's interesting to see if a Christmas song that isn't decades old, can become a reoccurring hit. There have a been a few attempts from Coldplay etc, but they've never managed to come close to becoming a modern Christmas classic. The updates of Leona could probably be scaled back a little and are probably a bit full on (I'm obviously guilty of that too) but I do think it would be exciting to see NEW Christmas song managing continuing success year after year, and that's why watching One More Sleep on iTunes is interesting.

No that was last year, It went top 3 in charts and #1 on itunes
Take it your enjoying watching it rise this year too?

Anyway sales are going to be pretty awful, the #1 is likely only selling around 6K/day at the moment, which means a weekly sale of around 40-45K (plus streaming) so around 55-60K for Sheeran.
Band Aid 30 seem to be in red now on Kworb so could be falling quite a bit this week.

Seems so strange that sales always drop off a cliff at the top of the charts at the start of December these days. Traditionally it used to be when they ramp up, why do no major acts release anything in December anymore?
Posted by: steve201 Nov 30 2014, 11:38 PM
They usually just have post album single releases impacting in December to boast album sales in the busiest weeks when people are actually in shops and buying physical music. So December is like the culmination of the year and campaign rather than a new single being released.

Come on Union J snatch that #1 - Long overdue success for them and an amazing result considering the performance of the lead single!
Posted by: jay727 Dec 1 2014, 08:43 AM
Don't think they'll have the legs to get there over the course of the week, but a top 5 would be great for them

12 Ella Henderson Yours 
Great boost, really. Just slightly slow.
Posted by: ElectroBoy Dec 1 2014, 09:32 AM
The top version is up to 0.9441 - be interesting to see how far they can push it and could possibly have the top version at number 1. I can't see then staying there, but I guess this release could be different for them and hold up a bit more
Posted by: Hayzayy Dec 1 2014, 09:36 AM
Wow, I really didn't see Union J doing this well, even after the X Factor Performance!
I thought they would do a Nicole Scherzinger (X Factor performance but poor song and the public don't care = massive flop) but it seems like I was wrong. I don't really like this song but I like them a lot so I'm happy for them!
I hope they can do well with the album as well.
Posted by: Mango Ho Ho Dec 1 2014, 09:38 AM
Never in a million years would I have predicted that Union J would get to #1 on iTunes! (albeit combined)

Posted by: gooddelta Dec 1 2014, 10:34 AM
Impressive, I guess this is their Whole Again moment. (Except I don't expect it to hang around for longer than a month in the top 40, let alone at No.1). At least low sales has thrown up some unexpected surprises in the last few weeks.
Posted by: steve201 Dec 1 2014, 10:36 AM
Union J could be No1 as im sure Ed will do no more than 55k!
Posted by: ElectroBoy Dec 1 2014, 10:40 AM
If they do hit the top spot officially, they better hold up stronger than Tonight (We Live Forever) did, otherwise the fall from the top could be spectacularly bad
Posted by: Hayzayy Dec 1 2014, 10:42 AM
Btw is it just me or the "U got it all" video isn't on Youtube anymore? I can't find it, link anyone?
Posted by: steve201 Dec 1 2014, 10:47 AM
Yeh i expect this to still happen (te massive fall) but with a decent amount of pre orders it could have a decent lead!
Posted by: ElectroBoy Dec 1 2014, 10:50 AM
Agreed - I think it's going to be a close run thing - although you never know it might hold up throughout the week and be their Whole Again or Glad You Came
Glad they're getting some form of success at last though
Posted by: December Dec 1 2014, 10:50 AM
Anything but Ed Sheeran and Union J at #1 please! Ew.
Posted by: MrIndependent Dec 1 2014, 10:53 AM
He sold over 55,000 copies last week so with the boost from X Factor I'm pretty sure he'll sell more this coming week.
As usual Union J will trail off horribly as the week progresses and with lack of streaming Ed will take the #1.
Posted by: Santa Martin Dec 1 2014, 11:24 AM
Only need to get 50k to 55k #1 single next week, bit of a sales crash for the #1 single (see sales thread topic), I think Ed Sheeran might still get it. I can see Union J trailing off to be honest later in the week, unless they have some promo.
Posted by: Ariels Dec 1 2014, 11:43 AM
Most surprising iTunes number 1 ever.
Posted by: girl_from_oz Dec 1 2014, 12:02 PM
Union J won't get to number one unless their single shows up on streaming, last time I checked it wasn't available
Posted by: ElectroBoy Dec 1 2014, 12:04 PM
I guess it will depend on how big UJ's initial lead is in the first midweek update - as it will probably be eaten away over the course of the week by Ed and TT.
Posted by: Hayzayy Dec 1 2014, 12:07 PM
I don't get why people keep saying that. They wouldn't do that well on streaming anyway so they're only missing about 3 or 4k at best.
It is a silly move not to be available to stream, but it's not like they couldn't get to number 1 without it. It all depends on how they keep selling during the week.
Posted by: SNOWING ADAM Dec 1 2014, 12:21 PM
It is a silly move not to be available to stream, but it's not like they couldn't get to number 1 without it. It all depends on how they keep selling during the week.
But as little as that could easily be the difference between #1 and #2. We've seen what's happened with Ed Sheeran and Taylor
Either way, it's going to be close.
Posted by: JimmyT Dec 1 2014, 12:46 PM
Re the Ella Yours new single bundle.....
Who said its the 14th? What would the point of that be?
Posted by: tommie Dec 1 2014, 12:57 PM
Even if it ends up somewhere in the top five it would be result for them. Their highest charting single was at #6 I believe?
Posted by: Michael Bubré Dec 1 2014, 01:21 PM
Yeah Union J's lack of streaming isn't really that relevant, they'd get no more help from streaming than Take That did last week. They'll be #1 if they have a big initial lead and hold up fairly well. With their physical sales and whatnot I suspect they will have a pretty big lead in the first mids, quite possibly enough to secure #1 in the sales chart this week... so we are back in the position of a potential streaming-affected #1. *dramatic music*
Kinda hope they do get it just for the hilarity of them getting a #1 when One Direction couldn't this year. Obviously 1D are still way bigger overall and 'You Got It All' is not likely to hang around for THAT long (though I'm sure it'll have better longevity than any of their previous singles) but still! The song isn't bad either. And like, it'd be a more ~interesting~ #1 than just a return for Ed as much as I still like 'Thinking Out Loud'.
Ugh at Ella looking like potentially stalling at #11 She is still in dark green at the moment but there's a gap of 0.08 to overcome still. (Then again she did gain 0.06 in the last update so maybe she will close it...)

Posted by: AcerBen Dec 1 2014, 01:41 PM
Really pleased for Union J. Hope they have a shot of making it officially. They need this to hang around for a bit and become a real hit though.
Posted by: ElectroBoy Dec 1 2014, 01:42 PM
That wasn't really a surprise seeing as the sales were off the back off a highly anticipated remix by Calvin Harris.
Had the actual slowdown original made it then I think maybe it could lay claim. BU tI don't think anyone was expected UJ to have such a big increase post XF performance. Everyone thought it was probably going to be Ella reaping the biggest benefit
Posted by: Jonjo Dec 1 2014, 01:43 PM
And obviously not on Spotify etc...Oh and can we all not forget that Ella HAS had a big increase... just because she isn't top 10, doesn't mean she's had "little impact". The song (and album) have received a massive boost!
Posted by: Michael Bubré Dec 1 2014, 01:48 PM

Yas The Pogues sleigh that second top 100 entry (se they can finally be accurately compared with Mariah ~) They also have a third version at #706 while Mariah could never even have a third version top 791 (that is as far as LPB has loaded) *.*
Posted by: Eric_Blob Dec 1 2014, 01:49 PM
I remember some people thought the song wouldn't even go top 40 (which I think was silly, since given how high the original was on iTunes before release, it was obviously going to get top 40 with the remix getting released, but I don't think many people expected #1). Also, I don't think Capital FM started playing the song until after it got to #1, so it got there just from Radio 1 support really.
Posted by: MC Delroy Dec 1 2014, 01:50 PM
So will this be the first time The Vamps have been #1 on the sales chart if it gets there on Sunday?
Posted by: Jayeux Noël Dec 1 2014, 01:50 PM
Pleasing for Union J! Hopefully they achieve some longevity with this single.
Posted by: Michael Bubré Dec 1 2014, 01:50 PM
It's easy to say that retrospectively but I don't recall anyone thinking it would even be top 10. It really did not seem to have the hype behind it.

Posted by: mr_aly Dec 1 2014, 05:24 PM
'Underneath The Tree' is my favourite Christmas song of recent times.
It's really aggravating me that one of the worst songs of the year is keeping Ella from the top 10.

Yes I knew that, I was just pointing out one of the rare iTunes #1 not #1 on the chart. Anyone made a thread on these occurrences?
Posted by: Dane Dec 1 2014, 07:23 PM
With all the multiple versions removed & the X-Factor performances removed Leona is about 91!
Posted by: ___∆___ Dec 1 2014, 07:25 PM
Incredible for Union J if they keep #1 especially as they were looking like being on the verge of getting dropped as their lead single spent 2 weeks in the charts with a chart run of 9-74-out!
Am sure now they have added 2 extra versions to iTunes and have the single bundle which counts as 4 sales alongside their signings in Morrisons this week should be enough to snatch the #1 position!

Not going to lie i think this X Factor performance saved their career to be honest, talk about the performance of a lifetime!
Posted by: ML Hammer95 Dec 1 2014, 07:45 PM
The Union J song is very poor in my opinion, is it just the X Factor performance that's made it go to Number 1??
Posted by: scratchy23 Dec 1 2014, 07:47 PM
Of course the XF performance helped but XF slots don't guarantee hits these days. Nicole Scherzinger couldn't even manage Top 40 following hers.
Posted by: Kl▲mzee Dec 1 2014, 08:01 PM
Union J's song is so so awful! I don't understand why people on here are saying its a definite improvement? Kudos to their promo team for making this big but it'll defo be a WTF number one in the future. If anything I wish it was Carry You doing this, nowhere near as cringe.
Posted by: Envoirment Dec 1 2014, 08:10 PM
Good news for Leona then! If she can keep climbing as the week goes on, I hope she'll be able to make it into this week's top 100 chart.
Posted by: ML Hammer95 Dec 1 2014, 08:20 PM
I imagine the average X Factor watchers would love Union J though, wheras Nicole Scherzinger has a slightly older fanbase I'd say.
Posted by: ElectroBoy Dec 1 2014, 08:21 PM
I think it's going to be Taylor Swift who's going to dislodge UJ from the top - she's gaining on Ed a fair but. However they haven't had a red update on Kworb yet
Posted by: brokenrecords Dec 1 2014, 09:31 PM
Union J can dismiss themselves tyvm
Posted by: Jonjo Dec 1 2014, 09:42 PM
I think it's more down to that fact barely anyone had heard Union J's single before the XF. They've reached out to a different audience, as well as their core fanbase with this. The UK public love a big simple, pop ballad in the winter. This is very radio friendly enough to appeal to anyone who watches XF I think.
Posted by: Michael Bubré Dec 1 2014, 09:49 PM
Barely anyone... apart from the masses of Heart FM listeners?
My dad listens to Heart in the car and he tells me they play the song a lot.
Posted by: Jonjo Dec 1 2014, 09:56 PM
Oh right. I was under the impression that it got next to no airplay (but strong TV rotation) so apologies!
But anyway, The Killers have a new Christmas single released tomorrow (it premieres 11.35pm EST on Jimmy Kimmel, so it won't be on until tomorrow morning I think ) so they'll be ready to sleigh all bases, yet again. And smash the iTunes chart to pieces with a peak of #20-something, before falling swiftly out the top 100!
Posted by: Michael Bubré Dec 1 2014, 09:57 PM
Oh I was wondering when/if we'd get the new Killers Christmas single, they've been pretty quiet this year.

Latest update has Ed gaining a lot again, gaining 0.04 on Union J (despite them not even dropping). Strange after he was decreasing in the last few updates and almost on the verge of being overtaken by Taylor

Posted by: TheGrinch Dec 2 2014, 02:30 AM
Oh there's no 59p batch this week
I'm expecting Union J to be around 10,000 ahead of Ed in tomorrows midweeks but I don't think they'll be able to remain at #01 as I'm sure Ed will manage to put together a 10%+ gap tomorrow. Still it's incredible that 'You Got It All' is going to be an #02 and I do think it will stick around longer than expected.

She's actually at 93 when you take away all the multiple versions of other songs as well as X Factor songs which don't chart.

2. Ed Sheeran - Thinking Out Loud 0.8929

I'm expecting 'Blank Space' to get to #01 before 'Thinking Out Loud' on iTunes! I'm predicting around 6pm tonight.
Posted by: ElectroBoy Dec 2 2014, 09:52 AM
Yeah Ed seems to be dropping back once more with Taylor gaining - 3 horse race for the top spot this week I reckon rather than just Ed vs UJ

Posted by: MistleJoe. Dec 2 2014, 11:34 AM
It was played at peak time on Radio 1 though, it's when most people listen to the radio. Songs can have great boosts at that time sometimes.
Posted by: Michael Bubré Dec 2 2014, 11:51 AM
Hooray for Ella! I'm rather surprised the performance didn't have more of an immediate effect, especially after how big a boost it got from Hollyoaks. Hope she can go top 10 this week after all, another really strong song from her I think based on the XF performance.
And then lower than that when you combine other songs probably. Statements like this are really meaningless below the top 40 or so.
Posted by: andibob Dec 2 2014, 12:07 PM
Great news for Ella! She has the video premiere tomorrow, promo at the end of the week and the single bundle on Sunday to keep her hovering around here for a while hopefully.

Not long before Taylor dislodges Union J from the top now, although the multiple versions of the Union J single will mean that it will still be no 1 combined for a little longer.

That's only with the top version taken into account - but she'll probably dislodge them in the next couple of hours... well unless they have some form of promo this evening
Posted by: Michael Bubré Dec 2 2014, 04:11 PM
A new Ed Sheeran song ('Make It Rain') has been released and is climbing very quickly (already #12) - could be heading for #1 on iTunes. Poor Ella could be out of the top 10 again

There doing nothing wrong tho, Its a itunes thread, The song is moving up. If they wanna post it they can its not breaking no rules. Not like anything exciting is happening song wise on itunes anyway.
You see worst on here for other artists but when Leona fans post they get attacked "do you need to post this"
Thats not even being snotty but me and someone else was quoted about this the other day for this i hardly post on this forum has it is and when i do i dont want to get the p*ss taken outta me by other members its just really rude. (that isnt aimed at you about me and the other day it was someone else)
Anyway Leona is up to #100 now

Blank Space will never be even top 2 without Spotify... it will lose 15K each week to ED or someone else. I just hate it! This is so number 1 materiel.
Posted by: Doctor Blind Dec 2 2014, 08:30 PM
I wouldn't say 'never', it is quite likely that if she receives a boost in 'gift card' week (when the market is generally up by 50% or so) the streaming disadvantage she has will be obliterated.
Posted by: steve201 Dec 2 2014, 08:36 PM
I don't think it matters if Taylor gets iTunes No1 it's Ed that's most likely to beat Union J and the fact it's Tuesday and he's still ground to make up could signal a shock No1!?
Lol 59p Xmas songs - do they normally last until Xmas day? Could be like the early download period this Xmas in the chart with that plus the streaming effect!

Posted by: steve201 Dec 2 2014, 08:38 PM
I'm also shocked at the continued fall of Band Aid and Tom Odell I thought this week the former would stabilise a lot with airplay increasing and people downloading more Xmas music but it'll be lucky to make 25k!
Posted by: ML Hammer95 Dec 2 2014, 08:40 PM
Is it me or does there seem to be even more ballad/charity/Christmas songs around than normal?? That would explain why all of them aren't climbing.
Posted by: SNOWING ADAM Dec 2 2014, 08:43 PM
Why can't Taylor go on a massive performance show and perform Blank Space? If you're not going to allow streaming, you could be the first no-stream girl #1!
Posted by: Jester Dec 2 2014, 08:44 PM
It always used to be a ballad-y time of year but I think the levels this year are up a bit on previous years. The 1D and Union J tracks are great pop songs though so its good for a change.

Posted by: ~~Sleighing~~!! Dec 2 2014, 09:14 PM
Yeah as neither song is particularly great.
They ruined their winning formula using Tom Odell for the charts. Not that they care about the charts when the advert's been such a success, of course.
Band Aid is :l and the controversy didn't help.
Are you sure??! I thought it was gonna be a flop!
OH MY GOD, NOT MORE SCREECH TIME!!
When everyone rushes out ballads in the hope to be the new Adele!!
We had ENOUGH of thatin early 2013!!

Posted by: JosephCarey Dec 2 2014, 09:28 PM
Or it's just that the advert isn't getting as much rotation
Besides, Tom's holding up a lot this week so far.
Posted by: steve201 Dec 2 2014, 09:38 PM
He's holding up but I thought he would have taken advantage in December. I'm not sure how much the John Lewis ad has been shown but I'm pretty sure it gets ALOT of airplay!

Union J have a TV ad campaign for a CD single. I thought I was hearing things. Is this 1998? I'd be Ok with that if its pre-Titanic.
Next it will be 'Get your Union J Polyphonic Ringtone!'
Posted by: GTH Dec 2 2014, 10:18 PM
I was hoping Leona would be a bit higher by this point, but the fact it is on the edge of the top 100 ahead of some christmas classics is promising. If she had a 59p price, the song would shoot right up. I would have expected the label to do more to make sure One More Sleep has some impact this year. Kind of crucial to make sure it gets some follow up success if they want it to be something that becomes a christmas classic and sells year on year.
Posted by: Eric_Blob Dec 2 2014, 10:22 PM
^ I agree. I think it's a good investment for a record label to promote a song like this each year for a few years, since after a few years it'll get to the point where it'll sell (and get airplay) without them needing to promote it at all.
Posted by: Envoirment Dec 2 2014, 10:32 PM
It'll hopefully feature on the Christmas compilations next year to help it out. Shame it isn't in the 59p batch, perhaps next week? As I'm pretty sure the 59p songs changed from week to week last year (I think Mariah was 59p for a week or two then put back to 99p). Doing well so far though, going top 100! Hopefully it'll climb more on iTunes as the week goes on and scrape the top 100 officially on Sunday.

Posted by: SLlewellyn Dec 3 2014, 09:20 AM
I wonder how well this song will do when it's released on Sunday?
#92 now. It's a shame it's being released now and not in January (though I don't think waiting any longer would help it). Glad Oliver Heldens is getting anoter hit to his name anyway, best producer around at the moment. I reckon it'll have to settle for #3/4 though - not sure what behind.Posted by: pippa Dec 3 2014, 09:27 AM
I would like to see Union J holdup to the existing level if they are to stand a chance of having a decent size hit. A number 1 would be great for them.
Posted by: SNOWING ADAM Dec 3 2014, 09:34 AM
We have to do all we can to
MMM yes I quite agree
I wonder how well this song will do when it's released on Sunday?
It's on both R1 playlists
I'd love it to be #1 but there's been much higher pre-positions that didn't even get #1. I hope it gets top 10 at least
Flutes and Heroes (We Could Be) have been added to R1 also. Where are they now for pre's?
I hope all three get to top 5, but as much as I'd like I don't think any will get to #1

The old label (Syco) can still do whatever they want with the releases they already put out as Leona would still get royalties. Should be trying to get it on one of the Christmas ads.
Same goes for Leona as she can still use any of the material she put out with them (she certainly is not going to suddenly stop singing Bleeding Love because she didn't release it with Island), but I am guessing she is just focusing on get album #5 sorted out rather than doing anything to keep the last record alive.

I assume you're referring to it disappearing from Kworb? Not sure why that's happened as it still seems to be on iTunes itself.

Perhaps the same happened to Mariah earlier hence the disappearance from Kworb.

"Chandelier" has turned into a monster of hit in the UK, far exceeding my expectations. Just wish some of her other material was getting as much publicity - even the track from the Annie soundtrack sounds great.

I'm hoping for 'Out Of The Woods' next, but that or 'Style' wouldn't be such bad choices either.
I too can't believe how much I like this new Taylor Swift material, I pretty much despised everything about her before this era (except a couple of guilty pleasure songs).
Posted by: Liаm Dec 3 2014, 09:04 PM
I've heard rumours that Style is next, which would be fab! I'd go for that or Welcome To New York. Maybe OOTW but I find that a bit overrated although I love it.
Nothing's really been said, but it seems that they've just cancelled it. The way the pre-orders were going it was looking like totally bombing so they'll probably just push a different single or try it again in the new year when it's quiet.
Posted by: Jonjo Dec 3 2014, 09:05 PM
How high did 'Sledgehammer' eventually get/where did it peak? I do think 'Bo$$' will be a bigger hit for them, 'Sledgehammer' seems a bit "safe". In a similar way to how we all expected Rita Ora's 'How We Do' to be a bigger hit than 'R.I.P'.
Posted by: marcin Dec 3 2014, 09:06 PM
It couldn't have been said better.
Pretty much all of her songs do so though.

Y'all are just JEALOUS of Mariah sleighing lesser artists. Occasionally, out of the Christmas spirit in her, she'll let them ahead, she's being quite generous to The Pogues on sales although her grip on streaming is tight *.*
Posted by: FrostytheWallaby Dec 3 2014, 09:34 PM
@Haus: I really like both songs!!11 Pogues significantly more so that said as it's my favourite festive song, but they both fulfill the 'classy' and 'cheesy' sides that Christmas songs need. I do sometimes wish some more Christmas songs would chart as high as those two though, Greg Lake's I Believe In Father Christmas and Mike Oldfield's In Dulce Jubilo should be smashing every year
Posted by: Michael Bubré Dec 3 2014, 09:34 PM
I've never understood why a Halloween song came to be one of the supposed 'Christmas classics'... especially when it's much more of a HORROR than 'Thriller' or 'Ghostbusters'.

'Fairytale Of New York' is also 59p including most Christmas songs apart from 'All I Want For Christmas'.
01. Taylor Swift - Blank Space 100%
02. Ed Sheeran - Thinking Out Loud 79.9%
03. Take That - These Days 75%
04. Union J - You Got It All 70.4%
Combined
01. Taylor Swift - Blank Space 100%
02. Take That - These Days 90.4%
03. Ed Sheeran - Thinking Out Loud 87%
04. Union J - You Got It All 75.5%
Looking likely that Union J will finish at #04 this week which is still a rather good achievement, had they not had X-Factor it no doubt would have missed the top 10 as it's freefalling pretty quickly now. Union J have pretty much shot themselves in the foot by having no audio / video on Youtube and no streaming.

I think Taylor Swift will be #1 on the sales chart though followed by Union J.

Posted by: mr_aly Dec 4 2014, 03:55 PM
I'm pretty sure he'll beat them on sales too.
Posted by: Michael Bubré Dec 4 2014, 04:01 PM
It's more Taylor that he has to worry about on the sales chart. On sales alone he's, as of today's mids, 7k behind Union J but only 2k ahead of Taylor. There's no way he'll lose the overall #1 now but even if he closes the Union J gap Taylor probably will too and it's not unfeasible for her to gain on Ed by 2k in the last 3 days.
I would be inclined to think Ed will take the sales #1 as well but not by a large margin at all.
Posted by: MC Delroy Dec 4 2014, 04:24 PM
Nah, the best Ed Sheeran can hope for on the sales chart is #2. It's only Taylor Swift that can/will stop Union J getting their first sales #1 I reckon.

Posted by: ► ▲ N T ▲ Dec 4 2014, 05:47 PM
I thought they were promoting Sledgehammer. Changed their mind after seeing it only smash in Portugal (at #45) whereas BO$$ was a minor US hit (#43) I guess.
Posted by: Ryan. Dec 4 2014, 05:54 PM
'Sledgehammer' is on its way to become their biggest US radio hit so far from what I gather, but 'Bo$$' is probably more unique and will result in either a very big hit or nothing at all from one performance whereas 'Sledgehammer' would probably be the safer choice but only be a smaller-sized hit from one performance.
Posted by: mr_aly Dec 4 2014, 05:57 PM
I don't honestly see what good performing 'Bo$$' over 'Sledgehammer' will do, especially as that song flopped in the US and some of the terms they use in the song aren't even relevant in the UK. I know I said it in their thread, but it really dumbfounds me.
'Sledgehammer' could show what they're capable of vocally and has bags more hit potential, plus it's set to actually outperform 'Bo$$' in the US. Baffling...

I am happy to leave the subtitle as that Jay
The Pogues' 59p version only just about to overtake the Now Xmas version, I'm guessing a lot of people are just checking the tracklist of Now Xmas instead of searching for specific songs. Poor them missing out on a 40p saving

215. Fifth Harmony - Bo$$ (pre-order)EDIT: Oh and '2 On' really needs to hurry up and hit the top 40 soon!
TOO good to flop and go by unnoticed!
Posted by: Ryan. Dec 4 2014, 07:17 PM
The 'Bo$$' sudden increase could be down to the pre-order price being decreased from £1.29 to 99p (for both tracks!) - great idea!
It's just outside the top 200 now!
Posted by: Jonjo Dec 4 2014, 07:27 PM
99p for both 'Bo$$' and 'Sledgehammer'?!
*pre-orders*

Even if it means that '2 On' becomes a big club hit I will be happy with that. I just need to start hearing it without me choosing to put it on

Which is probably because of Sound of 2015 hype.
Looking back at the previous TotDs this week they've all been Sound of 2015 acts.
Posted by: Zeebre12 Dec 4 2014, 10:09 PM
Where do people expect BOSS to peak?,its not getting any radio play at all is it?,are both the pre-orders for Sledgehammer and BOSS still up and both 99p?
Posted by: JONES Dec 4 2014, 10:20 PM
I can see it doing well on sales... Poor on stream, maybe #16
Posted by: Ryan. Dec 4 2014, 10:22 PM
They are bundled together with 'Bo$$' as the A-side and 'Sledgehammer' as the B-side, and it you get both songs for just 99p!
It's not getting any airplay, I think it could go top 20 actually (following the X Factor performance) as the pre-order is still rising very nicely.

Coldplay's 'Christmas Lights' at #266 and #316, looks like it'll very comfortably be top 200 for a fifth Christmas in a row. Here's hoping for a fourth top 100 appearance. Really pleased that this seems to have entered the Christmas classics canon (at least much moreso than any other Christmas song since The Darkness, apart from potentially Leona)
Justin Bieber's 'Mistletoe' is still doing fairly respectably as well actually, at #324.
Posted by: Jonjo Dec 4 2014, 11:32 PM
198. Kelly Clarkson - Wrapped In Red The video premiered almost a week ago, so it just seems like a random time Also, I think 'Bo$$' is the one being promoted Bre. Could 'Sledgehammer' be one of those B-Sides which gets enough cherry picks to chart top 100 though?
(Maybe not with streaming being included).
Posted by: Mistletoahspike Dec 5 2014, 12:05 AM
The video premiered almost a week ago, so it just seems like a random time It's the album rather than the single. Still higher than I would have thought for that though.

I saw Underneath the Tree on MTV last night - its video is pretty poor - seems to be just a live performance. A better vid could have got her better plays in future years imo. She still looks

I think #87 is pretty decent at this point for Leona - it takes time to build up a Christmas classic. Hopefully Leona and her management will try and milk it, but her parting with SyCo will probably prevent that.

One More Sleep 79.
It's rising quite a bit now. I think the airplay from Heart is really helping it.
Posted by: MistleJoe. Dec 5 2014, 01:42 PM
Does anyone have the figures of where 'All I Want For Christmas Is You" has peaked every year since 1994? It'd be interesting to see.
Posted by: Michael Bubré Dec 5 2014, 02:22 PM
Glad to see Band Aid 30 back in the top 10. I really do hope they can get back to #1 next week, it's not going to take THAT many physicals considering they're still selling a decent fraction of Taylor/Ed on downloads.
Well since 2007 (i.e. in the download era):
2007 #4
2008 #12
2009 #18
2010 #22
2011 #11 (start of the 59p offers I believe)
2012 #20
2013 #12
1994 was obviously #2 and it wasn't in the Christmas top 75 of any subsequent years until the download era, may have possibly re-entered the top 200 but I couldn't answer that.
For The Pogues (who also charted in 2005/6 due to the CD re-release in 2005):
2005 #3
2006 #6
2007 #4
2008 #12
2009 #12
2010 #17
2011 #13 (lower peak than Mariah but they were ahead in the Christmas week, Mariah peaked earlier)
2012 #12
2013 #14
Posted by: Michael Bubré Dec 5 2014, 02:34 PM
40. Torn Apart (Bastille vs. GRADES) - Bastille & Grades
This release seems to have been handled awfully, it's just been released as a single after being held back for ages (so long that it's already off the R1 playlist). So pointless to release it NOW when the EP is out in a couple of days anyway (which would give it a full week of sales) 
Posted by: MistleJoe. Dec 5 2014, 02:42 PM
Thanks Bre! Very interesting. It's funny that there are so many more people each year who don't already own the songs!
Posted by: Dane Dec 5 2014, 03:34 PM
Hopefully Ella can rise to number 5 after Jonathan Ross, maybe even top 10 next week as I think she may just miss it this week.

2012 #12
2013 #14
I believe the high peak of No12 & 14 last year was the full week of sales prior to xmas day (inc xmas eve)?
2005 was really the Pogues big chance of a No1 - i remember they re-released the song on CD/Vinyl (of which i purchased both) and so it was chart eligible because at the time a physical had to be available. Then there was the controversy with the banning of the swear words by radio 1 which actually made the main news bulletins and sales were obv atrocious in 2005 (apart from the No1/2 which i think was Shayne Ward on humongous sales and Nizlopi which sold a hell of alot in its 2nd week something like 190k)!
Posted by: Michael Bubré Dec 5 2014, 03:52 PM
For The Pogues it was, Mariah peaked the previous week (she was #13 in the Christmas chart).

It didn't enter the Top 200 again until the download era - it was #194 on 13 Jan 2007 which was the date that downloads could chart without a physical release.

It has been sung by someone in all three seasons of the US version because the final theme was always Christmas!

I could SWEAR I remember it being performed a couple of times and I didn't even watch the 2007 series. Maybe I'm thinking of Strictly Come Dancing or something.
In any case I would be surprised if the XF performance does much for it.

Posted by: Michael Bubré Dec 5 2014, 05:22 PM
Someone (possibly 2 people?) sang 'Clown' on XF when it was still an album track. Not really the same thing but that's the only example I can think of of a future hit being performed on the show.

Well it wasn't a single, but I think Daniel did "I Didn't Know My Own Strength" by Whitney before the album was released.
Great to see Leona climb so much today! Hope it continues to climb today/tomorrow, especially with Christmas parties happening. Love to see it chart in the top 100 officially this sunday.

I think Uptown Funk is a really imaginative choice of X Factor standards. The pre-order will surely fly up after Fleur's performance.
Posted by: Eric_Blob Dec 5 2014, 06:33 PM
Well, technically every winner's single fits that description (and the group charity singles they used to do too).
I think it was Cher Lloyd who performed Cooler Than Me and Jedward who performed Barbra Streisand? I remember the latter since Simon Cowell said he thought it would get to #1 despite the fact that Joe McElderry had his lead single out the same week!
I was a bit surprised he said that about his own artist on the show that he won (even if it was obvious he wasn't getting #1).I remember someone performing an album track from an un-released album before, I think it might have been a Whitney Houston album? I think the X Factor performance could've even been its world premiere.
Posted by: zenon Dec 5 2014, 06:38 PM
Wasn't 'Turn My Swag On' not yet released when Cher Lloyd sang it at her audition?
Posted by: Slade Dec 5 2014, 07:02 PM
It was Diva Fever who performed 'Barbra Streisand', in 2010, so the winner would've been Matt Cardle, as well. I think both the Soulja Boy and Keri Hilson 'Turn My Swag On' versions were on iTunes already, but just were generally unheard of by the British public so impacted, as opposed to having an upcoming release date. The Alexa Goddard version benefited the most anyway chart-wise, and that wasn't released until a good couple of months after!
Posted by: Michael Bubré Dec 5 2014, 07:24 PM
The proper Keri Hilson version of 'Turn My Swag On' wasn't available (I think it still isn't unless it was quietly added at some point?), the version that charted was a bootleg version by Greg Street (which used Keri's vocals and credited her as a featured artist along with Soulja Boy).
The original Soulja Boy version also charted a bit lower down.

Maybe she could release it as her winners track, but I doubt that will happen, I'm sure Simon will have something else up his sleeve.

This is a pre-order by the way.
The Pogues having a clear lead on Mariah combined
Amazing stuff

Oh thanks, I should have known this
Posted by: mr_aly Dec 5 2014, 07:49 PM
I hope Ariana can get top 40 this week (with 'Love Me Harder'), if it could be her only chance.
Posted by: Jonjo Dec 5 2014, 08:56 PM
Has anyone ever done a rendition of a soon to be released single before?
(From memory I think somebody did 'Cooler Than Me' in 2010?)
Posted by: Simon. Dec 5 2014, 08:57 PM
I'd rather 'Santa Tell Me' made it instead
I'm hooked.

25 Budapest
On Alan Carr at the moment too (albeit performing Listen to the Man), so could get another boost in a few hours.

Thanks for the combined update - interesting to see Wizzard well ahead of Slade again this year - the later in the mid 50s while Mr Wood and co in the top 30. Their yearly battle is like the 70s version of the Pogues vs Mariaah in a way!
Also The Killers still top 50 - hopefully they can get another top 100 entry maybe even top 75. Doubt it will beat the peak of Feel it in my Bones (70) or Boots (53) and def not Don't Shoot me Santa (which I think was the only physically released Xmas single by them - got it myself in 2007!
Posted by: Doctor Blind Dec 5 2014, 10:39 PM
The Killers had sold around 1.8K up to midnight y'day, so I reckon they will be lucky to get to 4K by the end of business tomorrow. That'll be good for a #90 debut.
Posted by: steve201 Dec 5 2014, 10:58 PM
Not bad top 100 for a Tuesday release. I'm not sure of the top 100 positions of the other Xmas songs they released!
Posted by: Doctor Blind Dec 5 2014, 11:04 PM
2007 #33 Don't Shoot Me Santa
2008 #88 Joseph, Better You Than Me
2009 #110 ¡Happy Birthday Guadalupe!
2010 #53 Boots
2011 #112 The Cowboys' Christmas Ball
2012 #70 I Feel It In My Bones
2013 #92 Christmas In L.A.
Similar to 2013 and 2008 in terms of peak position.

Ah cheers DB
I'm sure it depended on the day of release and stuff but the decent ones generally did best - most made the iTunes top 40 and the first A Great Big Sled would have been top 10 but there was no physical out when the download went into the iTunes top 10 in 2006 so wasn't eligible to chart.

21. Listen to the Man - George Ezra (also #247) 25. Budapest - George Ezra (also #208, #613 and #885) 26. Blame It on Me - George Ezra (also #87 and #256)
Posted by: ClausofKubrick Dec 6 2014, 01:15 AM
13. One Direction - Night Changes
Hope it can keep climbing and get a respectable peak next week!
Posted by: Jonjo Dec 6 2014, 01:42 AM
Hope 'Listen To the Man' can keep climbing. A nice, little infectious pop song. So much more bearable than the dull 'Budapest'! 'Blame It On Me' is my favourite of his so far though.
Posted by: ML Hammer95 Dec 6 2014, 11:10 AM
could see it doing a Rather Be though
I can see Uptown Funk being #1 for at least 3-4 weeks in the New Year and being in the year-end top 10.

13. One Direction - Night ChangesHope it can keep climbing and get a respectable peak next week!
#10 now
btw what caused this climb I know that they were around 18 yesterday..
Posted by: Reindeer Froot Dec 6 2014, 11:34 AM
Graham Norton.
Posted by: Santa Martin Dec 6 2014, 11:53 AM
Ed Sheeran for #1 next week performing Monday night on ITVs Royal Variety Performance and Thursday BBC1 Music Awards
Oh well, Taylor Swift will have to settle for #2 or #3 depends where Band Aid 30 peak
Posted by: gavindeejay Dec 6 2014, 12:13 PM
Looks like Bastille has released 'Torn Apart' early. It's at #38. Hope this can officially get into the Top 40 next week!
Posted by: JosephCarey Dec 6 2014, 12:18 PM
YAAAAAY 1D Keep climbing please!!
Kinda related, I saw the Band Aid 30 physical in HMV earlier, is it out early?

It was supposed to be Monday, but I guess some stores must have already had their stock in, so have put it out.
Posted by: NellyXmas. S Dec 6 2014, 12:53 PM
67. Caravan Of Love
Posted by: Jonjo Dec 6 2014, 12:55 PM
I assume that's Pixie's terrible version of it, right? The Housemartins version should be there instead
Posted by: mr_aly Dec 6 2014, 12:59 PM
Wow, the iTunes chart is looking very different to when I looked last night.
Shame for Ella though.
Posted by: TheGrinch Dec 6 2014, 01:03 PM
Why has Caravan Of Love climbed 300 places?
Posted by: Nick F1 Dec 6 2014, 01:03 PM
so Nicole could get nice boost next week
Posted by: zenon Dec 6 2014, 01:06 PM
Anyone know how Stay With Me climbed to #25 from the 40s last night?
Posted by: NellyXmas. S Dec 6 2014, 01:10 PM
Yep
No clue
Posted by: Timmy TheSnowman Dec 6 2014, 01:12 PM
The Hanging Tree is going to miss out on the offocial top 10 again isn't it?
Posted by: TheGrinch Dec 6 2014, 01:17 PM
No clue
Hopefully the advertisement is on tonight!
Posted by: JosephCarey Dec 6 2014, 01:17 PM
Grammys hype possibly?
Posted by: NellyXmas. S Dec 6 2014, 01:24 PM
If it is, it could go top 40 which will be extremely good!
Posted by: FezVez Dec 6 2014, 01:53 PM
Pixie was on that cooking show this morning. They showed a few clips of the CoL video so I'm guessing that's behind the climb.
Posted by: ManicKangaroo Dec 6 2014, 03:11 PM
She performed on Strictly - It takes Two last night
Posted by: frosTthesnowBoy Dec 6 2014, 04:04 PM
I saw the Band Aid physical in HMV today also. But I didn't see anyone buying it.

Bring Me The Horizon's pre-order has really done amazingly well, they must be heading for a top 40 hit at least on sales.
Posted by: mr_aly Dec 6 2014, 06:33 PM
CHVRCHES doing really well, possible top 20 with this? Or maybe a similar performance to Years & Years - Desire.
Posted by: ► ▲ N T ▲ Dec 6 2014, 08:48 PM
I think BMTH could go top 40 officially actually, one of those rare moments when rock actually does decently in the chart
Posted by: Ryan. Dec 6 2014, 09:07 PM
I wonder how high Fleur's version of Uptown Funk will go considering the original is only available to pre-order (which of course will zoom up the charts as well)?
