Posted July 18, 200619 yr McFly are on course for their fifth number one single this week, with early retail reports suggesting their Sport Relief single Don't Stop Me Now/Please Please (Island) has been outselling Lily Allen's current chart topper Smile since its release yesterday. The single is the band's third double-sided effort to date and the second to both feature a cover version - in this case a Queen track - and also to be the official song for a BBC charity event. With Lily Allen and Shakira set to complete the top three, Def Jam's Rihanna is likely to claim the number four spot with Unfaithful, with James Morrison's You Give Me Something (Polydor) rising into the Top Five. Also set to rise considerably are Warner acts Red Hot Chili Peppers and Gnarls Barkley, with Wolfmother (Island), Christina Aguilera (RCA), Franz Ferdinand (Domino), Snow Patrol (Fiction) and The Flaming Lips (Warners) all set to enter the Top 40. In the albums market, a trio of new releases from Razorlight (Vertigo), Lily Allen (Regal) and Paolo Nutini (Atlantic) are set to make a splash at the chart summit, with Razorlight's self-titled effort likely to give the band their first number one. These new entries, however, look unlikely to prevent a significant week-on-week downturn at retail level, with The Pipettes (Memphis Industries), Ali Farka Toure (World Circuit), The Rifles (Red Ink) and greatest hits sets from The Beach Boys (Capitol) and Moloko (Echo) the sole other entries, in the bottom half of the chart. Of note, however, is Nouvelle Vague's Bande A Part (Peacefrog), which is set to rise from last week's position of 119 to within the top 50.
July 21, 200619 yr do they do charity cause they are so good people? No they do it because they flopped with their last album and they're trying to guarantee a hit. ;)

July 22, 200619 yr The first one did 500 - 600k I think. I liked the singles from the second album a lot more than the ones from the first one, I have to say.
