What songs do you think have number 1 potential?

I'd say:

16th Aug

 

Roll Deep – Green Light - maybe

 

23rd Aug

 

Taio Cruz – Dynamite - basically certain imo

 

30th Aug

 

Eminem feat Rihanna - Love The Way You Lie - may get it this week but could go back

Katy Perry – Teenage Dream - most likely

Olly Murs - Please Don't Let Me Go - has a good chance

 

6th Sep

 

Alesha – Drummer Boy

McFly – Party Girl - the most likely

Stromae - Alors On Danse

 

HUGE GAP OF No MASSIVE RELEASES :(

27th Sep

 

Kylie Minogue - Get Outta My Way - could be a shock

Labrinth – Let The Sunshine

Tinie Tempah - Written In The Stars - a massive chart battle between former collaborators

 

4th Oct

 

Robbie Williams & Gary Barlow – Shame - certain

 

11th Oct

 

Christian TV - When She Turns 18 - sounds like it could do well to me

 

 

Coming Soon

 

Alicia Keys – L.O.V.E. [25th Oct] she's been big this era

McFly – Shine A Light [8th Nov] It's McFly, bound to have a good chance

Pixie Lott and Jason Derulo – Coming Home - I know it hasn't leaked/premeired but she's quite big here, so is Jason

The Saturdays – Higher - maybe wishful thinking?

This is where it starts getting dire you have the X Factor charity single around Oct/Nov.

 

I think Roll Deep might have a chance this week, but I think Eminem and Rihanna will peak at #1 next week, and stay there for a couple of weeks. Also Chase & Status might get a top 3 hit this week.

 

McFly will probably get a week and drop like a bomb the following week.

Olly Murs will get a X Factor boost, which more than likely get a #1 out of it. And if Kylie appears on the show, she might get a week.

 

The big single which might get a couple a weeks is the collaboration of Robbie and Gary.

I agree with all of them :) wouldnt change a thing, to be honest it would be an amazing chart if all of them were number one :')

I predict gaga will have another number one at the end of the year and will knock of the christmas number one again! :)

The XF live shows start beginning of October, so Olly's 2nd single should be out by then. Kylie could push the release forward a couple of weeks so she can release straight after her XF performance and hopefully get a number 1. Alicia Keys is bound to perform when L.O.V.E. comes out, as is Pixie. Maybe The Sats too?

Yeah, I agree with your list Gagafan. Teenage Dream hasn't had as much hype (BuzzJack aside) as California Gurls though so I'm not 100% sure that it will debut at #1, it might pick up in the September gap though. Although Stromae may well be the most likely to benefit from those two dead weeks in mid-September. Then I reckon Tinie will beat Labrinth quite easily.

 

Robbie and Gary you'd assume would be a certain #1 but Robbie hasn't topped the chart since 2004 now :o and Gary since 1997 solo wise...if some big American rap song surfaces out of nowhere, maybe they'll be beaten :lol: But yeah, unless the song's dreadful, it's going to do big big things, and probably would even if it was awful. Didn't Bodies open with 80k or something? That's rather huge for a #2, it was unlucky to be released on the same day as Bad Boys, that was always going to be huge.

Anyone think Maroon 5 have a shot on the 13th of September?

What songs do you think have number 1 potential?

I'd say:

16th Aug

 

Roll Deep – Green Light - maybe

 

Really?

 

 

23rd Aug

 

Taio Cruz – Dynamite - basically certain imo

Based solely on the fact it is an urban song not yet on an album?

 

 

30th Aug

 

Katy Perry – Teenage Dream - most likely

Olly Murs - Please Don't Let Me Go - has a good chance

 

Katy Perry, I agree with - WTF *is* 'Oily' Murs anyway?

 

 

6th Sep

 

Alesha – Drummer Boy

McFly – Party Girl - the most likely

Stromae - Alors On Danse

McFly in 2010? ROFLMAO!

 

Their fanbase will surely have hit puberty now, therefore discovered *attainable* boys to fixate on... :)

 

 

HUGE GAP OF No MASSIVE RELEASES :(

27th Sep

 

Kylie Minogue - Get Outta My Way - could be a shock

Labrinth – Let The Sunshine

Tinie Tempah - Written In The Stars - a massive chart battle between former collaborators

 

While I'd love to see Kylie at #1, the rap drones will no doubt be out in force again. :(

 

 

4th Oct

 

Robbie Williams & Gary Barlow – Shame - certain

Even before anyone has heard it? Isn't that what was said of Robie & Kylie's duet...? :P

 

 

11th Oct

 

Christian TV - When She Turns 18 - sounds like it could do well to me

 

If even Cliff can't get a religious sounding song to #1, then WTF else could?

 

Coming Soon

 

Alicia Keys – L.O.V.E. [25th Oct]she's been big this era

McFly – Shine A Light [8th Nov] It's McFly, bound to have a good chance

Pixie Lott and Jason Derulo – Coming Home - I know it hasn't leaked/premeired but she's quite big here, so is Jason

IMO Pixie & Derulo's fanbase will be totally incompatible, so it won't sell to either.

This is where it starts getting dire you have the X Factor charity single around Oct/Nov.

 

I think Roll Deep might have a chance this week, but I think Eminem and Rihanna will peak at #1 next week, and stay there for a couple of weeks.

 

I can't see that, myself - their sales will surely have fallen below 50k, and I can't see them having 2 weeks at #1 on that low, nowadays.

 

McFly will probably get a week and drop like a bomb the following week.

You do know this isn't 2004, right? :w00t:

 

Seriously though, they are heavily reliant on physical sales, and even when that market was alive, they could only manage 30-40k. IMO they'll be lucky to get T5 now.

 

Olly Murs will get a X Factor boost, which more than likely get a #1 out of it. And if Kylie appears on the show, she might get a week.

 

The big single which might get a couple a weeks is the collaboration of Robbie and Gary.

 

From context, I assume this Murs guy is a former XF loser then?

 

I agree with all of them :) wouldnt change a thing, to be honest it would be an amazing chart if all of them were number one :')

 

Kylie & KP are the only ones on that whole list I wouldn't mind seeing at #1.

Based solely on the fact it is an urban song not yet on an album?

IMO Pixie & Derulo's fanbase will be totally incompatible, so it won't sell to either.

 

- It's not just any old new urban song, it's hugely hyped/has massive pent up demand and has already been successful worldwide, currently sitting at #1 on US iTunes. Impressive for Taio seeing as he hasn't got a US rent-a-rapper adding an extra verse on this one.

 

- It's the second single from a #1 album, whilst Tinie/Labrinth's songs are unavailable until that date. Had Get Outta My Way been the lead, it would have had a better chance at #1, but even though I absolutely love it (far more than Tinie/Labrinth) it will be as successful as Wow at best. I predict #7/8 for it.

 

- It's not a religious song at all, apart from the tongue in cheek band name. Electro-pop recommended by Britney Spears apparently :o

 

- I disagree, they both sell to the teenage girl market. Open up Top of the Pops magazine and all you'll see is JLS/Justin Bieber/The Saturdays/Pixie Lott/Jason DeRulo. Any combination of these acts coming together are bound to sell by the bucketload.

I predict gaga will have another number one at the end of the year and will knock of the christmas number one again! :)

 

On a side issue, what song will the anti-XF/Cowell sales unite behind, this Xmas? :)

Anyone think Maroon 5 have a shot on the 13th of September?

 

Just you, I suspect.

I'm quite glad of any of the above it's those two that are collaborating then :P

True. I wouldn't exactly be relishing the prospect of a Justin Bieber/JLS collaboration. But can you imagine how successful it would be, they're the two most marketable teen acts around at the moment surely? :o

Really?

Have to agree vidcapper what terrible picks, I think the only one that is correct is Taio Cruz, the rest just no.Indeed we are not in 2006.

Just you, I suspect.

 

I somehow doubt it, but whatever. Also, new KoL single is bound to be a big contender and, since the album is out on the 18th of October, can't be long now :w00t:

I think Roll Deep will be a one hit wonder.

 

The Saturdays Higher won't get to no1. Its not as good as missing.

 

Robbie Williams & Gary - almost certainly a no1 hit.

Katy Perry - next single - possibly no1 but not heard it yet.

:shudder: given that I can only stomach JLS when they're making vaguely mature R'n'B in the style of Beat Again/One Shot, a Bieber collaboration would kill any hopes of them improving on "The Club Is Alive" dead in the water :puke:

Maybe I'm just cynical, but to me that sounds *exactly* like 'any old new urban song'. :P

I'd rather have Britney Spears herself (singing I meant) - though the double entendre meaning does have some appeal too... :naughty:

I suspect the rest of us would want buckets nearby, too... :rolleyes:
