Posted February 1, 201016 yr Jedward put Owl City under pressure 10:46 | Tuesday February 2, 2010 By Paul Williams Singles X Factor contestants Jedward are pushing Owl City’s chart-topping Fireflies hard to debut at number one this coming Sunday with just two dozen sales separating the two records. The identical twins have the second best-selling single of the week so far with the Sony-issued Under Pressure (Ice Ice Baby), which features Vanilla Ice and which replicates a mash-up they performed on the ITV1 series last autumn. Ice’s own version of Ice Ice Baby, which samples Under Pressure, topped the UK chart in 1990, while Queen and David Bowie’s original Under Pressure was a number one in 1981. Ahead of Jedward by only 24 sales, according to OCC data, Island’s Owl City is looking to make it a third week at number one. Its previous closest challenger, the Epic-issued Don’t Stop Believin’ by Glee Cast, is the week’s third top seller so far with Reprise/Warner’s Replay by Iyaz and Asylum/Atlantic’s Starstrukk by 30H3 featuring Katy Perry completing the top five. Perry is also the featured artist on Timbaland’s If We Ever Meet Again, which debuted at 17 on last Sunday’s chart and is now set to move into the Top 10. It could be joined in the 10 by 679/Atlantic’s hotly-tipped Marina & The Hollywood whose newly-issued Hollywood is the 10th biggest seller at this stage of the week. Albums Alicia Keys is expecting to spend another week among the Top 10 singles with her J/RCA offering Empire State Of Mind (Part II), but it is on the albums chart where she is making the biggest impact. Number two last week, her album The Element Of Freedom is now leading the market as it looks to give Keys her first-ever chart-topper in the UK. New US superstar Kesha, who has already topped the Billboard 200 chart with her debut album Animal, is expected this coming Sunday to add a top-five UK hit album to her successes. The Columbia-handled Animal is the week’s fourth top seller at this point in the week and heads the biggest week for new releases of 2010 so far, with new albums from Virgin’s Corinne Bailey Rae, Parlophone’s Hot Chip and Bella Union’s Midlake also all set to debut in or around the Top 10. The influx of new entries will continue lower down the chart, with new entries also due to come from Peter Andre with a Rhino-issued love songs album, Cash Money/Universal Island’s Lil Wayne, Cooking Vinyl-signed Ocean Colour Scene, Hollywood’s Nick Jonas and Administration, and Roadrunner’s Rob Zombie. ============================================ Top 40 Only Singles 1 Owl City (24 sales ahead) 24,129 2 Jedward with Vanilla Ice 24,105 3 Glee Cast 4 Iyaz 5 3OH!3 Top 10 6 Timbaland ft.

February 2, 201016 yr Hot Chip only just inside the Top 40? Yikes! Hope the album makes up for it in sales then. I don't really care about the number one / Jedward etc. but it'd be a shame if HC get dropped because they're not selling enough.
February 2, 201016 yr I'm not 100% convinced the single will go top 40 at all Richie :( I'm hoping Owl City will remain at the top :cheer: Me too :wub: At least it will prove that there are still people with ears :kink:
February 2, 201016 yr How can people think Owl City is better than Jedward. I find Owl City the most offensive number 1 in ages as it's so $h!te - how can people listen to songs that are so bland and non-descript? Can't stand the Jedward track either but at least it's comedy. If only Marina was number 1
February 2, 201016 yr I'm not 100% convinced the single will go top 40 at all Richie :( Me too :wub: At least it will prove that there are still people with ears :kink: lol I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU :D I do love Jedward...but I think this chart should belong to good music like OWL CITY :D and people with ears :D
