If you think it's getting a lot of airplay here, go to the US! I went there on holiday, and it was probably getting airplay on the same level as Empire State of Mind was here!

 

Thankfully it's died out since then. Unfortunately I Like it by Enrique is currently unaviodable.

Eminem back up to no.5.

Great stuff.

I shouldn't get too excited though, their sales are merely declining more slowly than the competiton...

 

Personally I prefer to put the emphasis on Rihanna in that duet, anyway. :)

 

I don't think they will - record companies don't like to be dictated to by demand :lol:

But what about pragmatism...?

 

 

WTF has Wouldn't Change a Thing - Demi Lovato & Joe Jonas leapt up over 100 places in 24 hours?

 

 

 

 

Bruno Mars has been brought forward - but only by 1 week to Sunday 26th September

 

Into the path of Labrinth and Tinie...oh dear, although I could see him beating them both actually. High selling top 3!

Overplay has officially killed 'Love The Way You Lie' for me. :( still a great song though, but i just need a break from it now lol.

 

Yeah I love the song, but I think I've heard it a bit too much!

 

What is he releasing next?

Why do you assume they'll all be top 3 ?

 

Surely people must be getting bored of rap by now - or is that just me? :P

Because the hype around all three is unavoidable, and they'll be coming off the back of two weak sales weeks. Alexandra/Katy or whoever is #1 next week will definitely be shoved to #4 to make way for these three.

 

Bruno/Labrinth aren't rap songs and none of the three sound anything like each other :P

Has the iTunes chart frozen?

 

Katy is still 1/2 bars behind Alex!

Come on perry she must get #1 sometime today!

I Hope labrinth will make top 3 love sunshine but i think it'll just make top 10 tbh, tinie will 100% be #1, and bruno then #2.

Like all 3 songs so would be great if all top3 :)

It's probably just a prediction. Thing is Tinie Tempah, Labrinth and Bruno Mars have pretty much defined 2010 in the UK whether you like them/their music or not.

 

Of the three, I'd much prefer to see Bruno Mars #1 although 'Written In The Stars' is the first Tinie single I actually like. As for 'Let The Sunshine' I've finally heard it and have to admit, I just don't understand the fuss over it at all - sounds very much like a non-song - typically 2010 so would get to no. 1 in the UK and be forgotton about within 6 months.

If Bruno beats WITS to #1 I will be extremely pissed off.

 

Tinie was already stripped of a second #1 once when it had enough sales to get #1 on almost any other week...

I'm not a fan of all 3 songs so I don't mind in what order they will be in the chart. :P I like all of them, they just miss something to be really good.

 

Move on to 31st October with Roll Deep & Alesha Dixon 'Take Control'. :P

Oh, OK - sometimes I see black, male & urban, and automatically assume rap - its an easy mistake to make nowadays... :P

 

It's not a combination of music factors that appeals to me though...

Listening to 'Take Control' was such a chore I stopped that video at 2:58 - why do Radio 1 insist on playing horn sounds and pointless jingles over the top - it distracts from the actual music I'm trying to listen to. Urgh!!! :rolleyes:

 

I think I'll wait until a proper CDQ version is uploaded to YouTube and I'll listen to that instead.

Bruno Mars isn't black... you were just assuming rap because he's worked with B.o.B and Travie McCoy yeah?

Well that description certainly sums up Tinie Tempah but 'WITS' is, imo, by far his best song so far.

You would, but it's Eminem's song.

Bruno Mars is in no way related to rap.

He's got an amazing soulful voice.

WHY NOT JUST RELEASE SUNDAY?!

Glad eminem and rihanna sticking around, unbelievable! Has to be #1 end of the year.

Pendulum could climb into the top 40 with their physical I guess

 

How is "The Island" going to be counted? Will sales of both parts from the album be combined with the single release? I hope so, could see it scraping top 30 as "Witchcraft" did ^_^

Hope Heartbeat makes top 10, great performance last night, two brilliant voices and an infectous tune.

It's not Radio 1's fault, it's the record company's demand. Even admin of the Alesha's official site (!) was forced to put only the radio rip there. But I agree with you, it'd better to listen to HQ. But it didn't stop me. :kink:

 

And Enrique up to #17!
