Can't believe Waka Waka is barely moving down at all...Wavin' Flag dropped like it had a brick attached when the world cup finished!

 

The biggest shock is that the second longest chart run in the Top 40 is by a song that only reached No18 !

 

64-51-36-22-22-{18}-21-21-25-28-32-30-28-32-31-34-34*

The 3.7k->3.0k lead in Tuesday->Wednesday makes this battle even more reminiscent of Happy vs. MMH. And it's going to have the same outcome.

 

But we both know that in the "Happy vs. MMH" case, the best song actually lost out in the end. :kink:

I'm amazed at Plan B and Eliza hardly moved for the past 3 weeks from their respective current positions in the album chart. Kylie's album seems to be falling like an acorn at the moment.

Cant believe lady gaga's album is at #5 after 83 weeks in the chart?! I mean come on that is simply incredible! Who is still buying this album? Its just, i'm speechless at the success! AND the singles sell so incredibly well too, its maddd!

Does anyone know if there will be any more releases from this album or is she finished with this album now?

 

Pleased for Derulo whos up to #8 because of What If, if any of his singles were going to sell the album it was going to be this one. Also pleased for rihanna who's benefiting from the massive hype of love the way you lie, her album up to #12!

Meet Me Halfway won though :unsure:

Thats not true Meet Me Halfway was one of there better songs and deserved to go to No 1 over Happy.It probably would not have happened if they had not apeared on X-factor the same night as Leona but their performance was really good to. :P

Very true point!

Re rule 10 - the one with the big lips is fit. Which one is that? :unsure:

 

Vanessa....... and she's the best vocally too. :D

Haha don't get me started or i'll be arguing for as long as one of GaGa's music videos. :P

No offense guys, but if you travel a few weeks into the future, Meet Me Halfway was STILL #3, whilst Happy was all the way down at #28. I think it's quite obvious by this who really deserved to be number-one. Not to mention, Meet Me Halfway has sold over 700,000, or something ridiculous, and is a magnificant song. Infact, Meet Me Halfway beat Happy in every single country in the world, apart from Austria, from what I can find out.

 

(Sorry, I'm only being annoying because Meet Me Halfway is my favourite song from 2009. :lol:)

I'm pretty sure that top 10 is exactly what I predicted in Ben's game this week! :lol: Well let's hope the Saturdays stay at #1 then, eh? :kink:

I'm going to keep this short or else I'll probably be warned for using explicit language along with death threats. :kink:

 

Remember that MMH was the type of song that does well in 2009. It's very electronic and it was riding high on the back of IGF's success. I love the song and I think it's their best single from the album but they also had the advantage that they are an American act - which seems to give them instant credibility when it comes to worldwide radio etc.

 

'Happy' on the other hand wasn't commercial at all and was by a British artist who isn't as established as many American acts.

 

Whoever won, 'Happy' is more meaningful lyrically. :kink:

Your point? :huh: Happy is still a better quality song. (+its down to personal choice) (+it probably did so well because of the hype around BEP and receieved better support from tv and radio then Happy did so had a bigger platform).

 

Anyway back to this sundays predictions, i think eminem and rihanna could go out and get that #1!

 

ps: yes i agree sceneofsixcrimes!

That's true I suppose. And sorry for making you almost want to kill me. :lol:

Thats a matter of opinion though.

 

MMH is more relevant and real (IMO) and has some quite special lyrics in it.

I'm predicting 58-60K for The Saturdays:

 

6K - Wednesday

6K - Thursday

9K - Friday (Supposed Saturdays downloading day)

8K - Saturday (Weekend-Effect + Front-Loadedness)

Thats a matter of opinion though.

Well, both songs had better lyrics than your standard 2009 chart hit I suppose, but I do agree that Happy had better lyrics. I loved Meet Me Halfway for the instrumental, and Fergie's voice. I never really concentrate on the lyrics of a song to be honest, unless it's one of the songs where you just can't ignore the lyrics, like in Billionaire.

That's true I suppose. And sorry for making you almost want to kill me. :lol:

 

That's ok. :P Don't worry I would have only poisoned you - you don't seem like the type to be strangled or stabbed. :lol:

Is it though?

 

Could you enlighten me in regards to these "special lyrics". :P

 

I think Fergie's delivery makes her parts special.

 

I think 'Happy' is more relevant and is more "connectable". Everyone can relate to it in at least one way, shape or form. Everyone strives to be happy and many take those risks to ensure that they capture that happiness despite their loved ones worrying whether they will get hurt on the way.

Tbh.. i think depending on Itunes Saturdays may come 2nd, and even with physicals they have a 30% of being number one this week.
