Posted August 9, 201015 yr Saturdays put Geffen on course 11:58 | Tuesday August 10, 2010 Source: MW By Paul Williams Universal’s Geffen label is looking to score its second UK number one single within the space of three weeks after the Saturdays opened up a narrow lead on midweek sales. Singles The girl group’s Fascination/Geffen-issued single Missing You is around 4,000 sales ahead of Flo Rida featuring David Guetta’s Club Can’t Handle Me at this early point in the week, according to OCC Data. The Saturdays’ current highest chart performance is number two, achieved in 2009 by both Just Can't Get Enough and Forever Is Over. Geffen, which was revived under Colin Barlow in 2008, hit number one a fortnight ago with boy band The Wanted’s debut single All Time Low. This was replaced at number one after a week last Sunday by Ne-Yo's Beautiful Monster. The Ne-Yo hit is ranked fourth at this stage of the week, behind the Atlantic-issued Club Can’t Handle Me and Interscope/Polydor’s Love The Way You Lie by Eminem featuring Rihanna. Missing You is joined among the Top 10 sellers by one other brand new release, 4th & Broadway/Island’s Tinchy Stryder whose In My System is ranked sixth. Island is also targeting another Top 20 entry this Sunday with Devlin’s newly-issued Brainwashed presently the week’s 20th top seller. Albums On the albums chart Sonovox/Mercury’s Arcade Fire, who debuted at one last Sunday with The Suburbs, are little more than 200 sales ahead in their bid to spend a second week at the top. Chasing them is Eminem whose Interscope/Polydor album Recovery is now aiming to reclaim the number one position for a second time. In a pretty static Top 10 679/Atlantic’s Plan B and Parlophone’s Eliza Doolittle are at this stage in third and fourth positions, the same places they attained on last Sunday’s chart. There are no new entries showing up in the Top 20 with the highest arrival, Tempa-signed Skream, in 27th place with Outside The Box. Expected to join them among the new entries is a re-issue of Interscope/Polydor act Queens Of The Stone Age’s 2000 album Rated R. This originally reached 54 in the UK but midweek sales suggest it could finally make a Top 40 breakthrough ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Top 40 Only Singles 1 Saturdays (22.2k) 2 Flo Rida (18.5k) 3 Eminem/Rihanna 4 Ne'Yo 5 Yolanda Be Cool vs. DCup Top 10 Tinchy Top 20 Devlin Top 30 24 Edward Maya Top 40 31 Ellie Goulding ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Albums 1 Arcade Fire (200 copies ahead) 2 Eminem 3 Plan B 4 Eliza Doolittle 5 Lady GaGa Top 10 Michael Buble Jason Derulo Top 15 11 XX 12 Rihanna Ellie Goulding Top 20 Justin Bieber Florence + The Machine Top 30 Scissor Sisters Pendulum 30 Seconds To Mars Skream Top 40 Chicane Queens Of The Stone Age Marina & The Diamonds Vampire Weekend Glee Cast Vol 1 NO SALES INFO ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ARTIST UPDATES Singles Katy Perry 6+6 Enrique 8+8 Kelly Rowland 10+9 Lady GaGa 20+1 Kylie 13+13 JLS 30+2 Albums Mumford & Sons 5+5 Alicia 10+3 Paloma 10+5 Kylie 15+4

August 10, 201015 yr I think: 1 - The Saturdays 2 - Flo Rida 3 - Ne-Yo 4 - Eminem/Rihanna 5 - Yolanda Be Cool 10 - Tinchy Stryder
August 10, 201015 yr This thread is going to be mayhem this week :o I think The Sats will be #1 today and tomorrow, but Flo will retake it on Thursday and Friday and see out the week. Quite glad about that tbh, Up and Ego (and even Forever Is Over to an extent!) are far more deserving of a higher chart position than Missing You, although MY is growing on me a bit.
August 10, 201015 yr Sorry if this has already been asked but does anyone know where Missing you by the saturdays is in the mids today? :kink:

I agree Up & Ego are first class tunes. I'm on the other side of the fence so far as Forever Is Over goes... Didn't rate it. :teresa:
August 10, 201015 yr The Sats for #1! Fingers crossed we get some sales so we can see just how far ahead they are.. I promise I won't go wild in here..I know it's getting on some people's nerves. :D
August 10, 201015 yr Apparently someone on Popjustice forum has said The Saturdays are #1 in the midweek selling 22,000 and are 4,000 ahead of Flo Rida
August 10, 201015 yr Wonder if they will hold that all week, i doubt it. Edited August 10, 201015 yr by andyboiuk
August 10, 201015 yr 3.7k (20%) ahead, if they don't freefall on iTunes then they might get it, but its going to be difficult.

Even if the video is an 'Umbrella' rip-off, it was such a great song.

August 10, 201015 yr As much as I don't like to admit it I am betting Missing You is as Front loaded as a Mike Tyson punch. Cannot see 3.7k being enough to hold Flo Rida off with.
August 10, 201015 yr Whut? They're nothing alike. :unsure: Look at the last scene of 'Umbrella' and the "rain" scene in 'Work'. Plus they are wearing similar outfits in those scenes. ^_^
