Chico fends off competition for number one single slot
Source: MW
Early retail reports reveal a three-way battle for the number spot is under way this week, with current chart topper Chico facing competition from Orson’s No Tomorrow (Mercury) and Pussycat Dolls’ Beep (A&M), currently at positions two and three respectively.
A brace of singles are set to make big rises after chart rules allowed digital sales to make an impact on the chart one week before physical release, the biggest of which being The Black Eyed Peas’ Pump It (Interscope). A Top 20 new entry last week based on download sales, the single is likely to rise into the top five thanks to its physical release yesterday.
Also set to score big increases are Girls Aloud’s Whole Lotta History (Polydor; last week’s position 93), Joey Negro’s Make A Move On Me (Data; 50), Ray J’s One Wish (Sanctuary, 172), James Blunt’s Wisemen (Atlantic; 57) and Beverley Knight’s Piece Of My Heart (Parlophone; 98).
After Michael Jackson’s reissued Beat It (Epic), the highest bona fide new entry comes from Ne-Yo’s So Sick (Mercury), followed by Massive Attack’s Live With Me (Virgin) and Battle’s Tendency (Transgressive).
In the albums market, David Gilmour is battling it out with Corinne Bailey Rae for the number one spot, with Placebo’s Meds (Virgin) looking to make it an all-EMI top three. New entries around the Top Ten will come from Russell Watson (Decca), Vittorio Grigolo (Polydor), Graham Coxon (Parlophone) and Fightstar (Island), with chart veterans Donald Fagen (Reprise) and Gary Numan (Cooking Vinyl) set to enter within the top 30.

Ooooooh Orson could climb!
Good for GA top 10 I'm guessing and no Kelly!
nothin new in the top 3..... slaes are gonna be rubish then? maybe only 19K for a number 1
Well! Kelly C out of the Top 40 then!
Looks like Ne Yo will be number 1 next week, if he is entering high on downloads. Sales must be awful too, but GO ORSON!! Would be wicked if they can make number 1!
Ne*Yo is download only, its not physically released until next week
Fighstar Album top 10! No Kelly though
Missing are
Kelly Clarkson
Hilary Duff
KT Tunstall
Foo Fighters
Pearl Jam
Maybe the new entries mentioned are just top 20?
I'm positive KT,Kelly, Hilary and the Foos wont miss the top 40...
And also as most of the 'climbers' were not Top 75 last week will they all be classed as new entries?
Hi Mikey!
Must say, I so appreciate your effort delivering us midweeks, though must say this week looks pretty boring to me. Do you have further information yet about Madonna yet?
Fightstar top TEN?
If GA are top ten in the singles I'm happy
from Andy70 chart refugees
Girls Aloud top 10.
Kelly C top 30.
Hang on, wtf, just got Top 20 in, Orson are at NO.1
thanks for the info mikey
What a messed up week
Thrilled for Orson! Please let GA climb
ORSON!!!!
It could all change tomorrow, this is so intriguing
Another new rule, in the top 20s, they have last week's position of 80 for Girls Aloud, and etc.
So technically anything in the top 200 is classified as a climber, not as a new entry, for next sunday's chart
Any news on Madonna, Mikey? Thanks!
Is Charlotte still top 30?
Just a yes or no will do please.
YAY for Placebo's album top 3 - that'll be their highest to date if it stays top 4 by Sunday.
A bit shocked at Joey Negro being so low.
not orson please
not chico
but pussycat dolls
Hope Orson will be number one on Sunday... although as Mikey says it could all change tomorrow.
Let's try not to get another number one for the Trannycat Dogs though...
go the pussycat dolls, go go go for a third consecutive #1....
I predict BEP gonna be #1 on Sunday, but it could go anyway.
After seeing Chico's Physicals sales only I'm assuming he will go back to the top of the chart, later on in the week, but its going to be pretty close within the Top 4
I'm no fan of Chico, but I think I'd rather see him stay at No1 than either Orson or BEP
Orson
but for Kelly Clarkson & KT Tunstall... Girls Aloud should be way higher!!!
These new rules make the midweeks so much more complicated. So the highest new entry is outside the top ten, but that song has not actually been released yet.
And some charts count Girls Aloud so that will be the highest new entry.
This may take a while to get used to.
this new system is a littl strange
woohoo for orson and pcd, two fantastic songs! are kelly and hillary week-before d/l only new entries?
also, any news on jose gonzalez? best song so far this year imo... i wonder why the BEPs didnt release my humps and pump it as first and second singles off MB...
The new rules are just totally random imo. Why just the week before? Makes no sense to me, if they are gonna allow it one week before they might as well allow download only all the time.
Thanks as always Mikey
Very surprised that Kelly is only Top 30, I think she will definately be Top 20 by the weekend.
Would have thought Foo Fighters and Pearl Jam would have been somewhere in the Top 40 too.
Walk Away will rise after its debut, as it will be promote more by next week by video and airplays...
Not sure what I think about Bev! I saw it a bit higher, but hopefully it's cos everyone will buy the album instead! *optimistic*
Slightly shocked at Kelly! I didn't think it'd get top 10 cos everyone's bought the album, but to miss the top 20! Wonder if they'll not bother releasing breakaway as a single now!
One word for fightstar in the top 20... EWW!
Cyndi is around #90 in albums Higher than her last album!
Thanks for that, makes it a bit unpredictable with the new rules.

i cant believe Ray J is top 20 on re-release
Doh, Placebo fell out of the top 3 already. Was expected, I hope it can keep top 5 by Sunday.
Sorry, haven't been on this afternoon, I was permanently locked out from surfing this site, which is getting so frustrating for me.
If anyone gets an update on kelly for wendsday please tell me!
wo-ooh! at girls aloud top 5
and yeay for the sugababes up to no.19 in the albums
Great climb for Girls Aloud!
Chuffed to bits that Orson have so far made #1 on the combined chart here.. if they can hang on til Sunday,it'll be the first song to climb 'NEW - 5 - 2 - 1' since 'Living on my own' by Freddie Mercury in 1993.
