Owl City clocking up nearly another 60,000 at this point. Easily number one this week, but close last Friday, as Sunday showed. If you ain`t tried http://thesuperstation.info for the Sunday chart, give it a go..slightly ahead of Yates & co, and playing all the top 40, not just 29 songs in 3 hours!

good to see Boyzone top 3 on pre-orders so far ahead of release :D fingers crossed for another top 5 hit for them, shame Better sensationally brought that run crashing to a halt :(
Thanks Dave :) Hope Glee can hold #2 for Sunday :)

Dave - 'Avatar' WILL be the No.1 All Time UK Box Office Film

- but not just yet. And it is not 'Titanic' that is the No.1 UK Film -

'Mamma Mia!' over-took it, in 2008. The 'ABBA' Film took around

£69,200,000 in the UK - which knocked 'Titanic' into 2nd place.

 

'Avatar' HAS overtaken 'Titanic' Globally, to become THE All

Time Box Office Film. ('Mamma Mia!' is only 49th Globally).

 

This is from a UK Box Office Site:,

 

But Avatar is almost certain to make it to the all-time number one spot in the UK (currently occupied by Mamma Mia!, with £69.2m) – it will just take another couple of weeks, that's all.

Nice to see Hollywood at #2 on pre-orders
