i'll admit i'm buying the cd of Matt this week and i haven't brought a non charity cd single since alanis morissette 'underneath' 2 and a half years ago.

 

You couldn't have picked a better single :lol: :wub: Underneath is amazing.

Not negative just stating what i can see from the charts like we all do. :P

 

Yeah this week will be strong, but next week will be the big 100,000K week for every album in top 10 i predict!

Yet surprisingly out of all the acts that dropped in the album chart, you chose to pick Alexandra :rolleyes:

Looks like too many campaigns are saturating the X-Factor protest vote - Trashmen, Biffy original and CATM will probably all sell well but there'll be no taking down the X Factor winner now. It's got me thinking though, what was different about the Christmas number one when the Spice Girls dominated every year with really poor songs (although 2 Become 1 was ok)? It's all big labels capitalising on a week where sales go through the roof and X-Factor is now the face of corporate music.

 

I just wish they'd make him sing a Christmas song instead of wheezing his way through an average Biffy track.

westlife? at number 12???

Yeah, me too. And I think even if people are not too keen on the single (personally I love it) they will buy the CD alone for his performance of First Time and Nights in White Satin. His best performances by a mile.

Yes because as you can see its one all-mighty drop, and considering its only in its second week its probably the worst case of dropping i can see on this weeks chart. :rolleyes:

 

I've downloaded 'When We Collide', could it hit 500,000? I wonder if it'll knock of LTWYL as #1 selling song of the year then :o

We are also expecting some bad weather towards the end of the week, apparently Scotland have ceased internet shopping, I think this mainly effects the supermarkets, I don't know how wide it is. It might do some damage to the physical.

It has 3 weeks of selling so it might take over Love the Way You Lie

I really think it can, which is a shame, i dont know if i want it too or not. I bought both songs, Love the Way You Lie has been the biggest song of the year so makes sense to be #1. With When We Collide, only available for 3 weeks it cant really be called the biggest song of the year, but i really like Matt and maybe nice for a British artist to have the #1 at the end of the year of the UK chart, but i think Eminem & Rihanna should hang on to it..dont know, happy with either way i think! :)

Same liverpool is forcasted for very heavy snow thrusday/friday and freezing temp's AGAIN

I think this year it's such an interesting year in terms of sales. Normally the x-mas #1 would be a week later - but because it falls on a Saturday this year, it's moved everything earlier.

 

Normally the X Factor single (and other christmas week singles) have the week before christmas and the week after christmas that ensure the majority of their sales. This year there's 2 weeks before christmas (near-enough) and the week after - the week after being a good sales point as sales normally go up further that week with new ipods to put music on, Itunes gift-cards to use, vouchers to use in shops etc.

 

I'm saying this because usually the 3rd week of an X Factor winners single usually sees sales decrease alot - but they should technically remain high this time around

Where is Thinking Of Me in the single chart?

Thanks :)

Hmmm ok then *scratches chin*

 

WWC will easily surpass 500k - in fact I think it'll also go past 600k. I'd predict somewhere around 550-650k, probably the upper range of that, I'd suggest 625k.

10+3

Not going to lie, I'm quite surprised at the success of 'Loud'! :o I just don't see Rihanna as an album artist personally!..

I've holded off buying "Loud" - I'm almost certain it's going to be re-released next christmas with new tracks to coincide with her tour

Eminem & Rihanna are on 812k and will have approx 850k by the end of the year, can't see it being more than +/-10k by that point.

 

WWC is almost certainly going to shift around 600k this week, so it only needs 250k in the last 2 weeks, which given it will sell 600k first week and looking at Joe's/Alexandra's tail-offs for the last 2 X Factor winner's songs [Alexandra 576k-312k-104k i.e. 416k in Week 2+3; Joe 450k-195k-70k i.e. 265k in Weeks 2+3], it'll easily surpass that, and could even do it in Week 2.

 

Fait accompli for WWC to be the year-end #1, not that it deserves it. :(

Yeah i'm almost sure that will happen too, but wont happen for a long time yet, October-ish probably.

In fact, I think When We Collide will sell approx 1 million by the year end:-

 

625k this week

305k next week

106k week after Xmas

1035k Total
