January 15, 201114 yr Bruno will stay number one. I predict - 01. Bruno Mars 02. Britney Spears/Adele 03. Britney Spears/Adele 04. Jessie J 05. Wretch 34 (WTF are these?)
January 15, 201114 yr I think Bruno Mars will continue selling well next week so perhaps down to no. 2 but still with good sales. It depends how flattering the iTunes popularity bars really are, since it seems unlikely that the #2 or below will exceed 50k this week
January 15, 201114 yr I'm hoping Adele does it but Britney will probably get it. IMO Adele doesn't have a prayer - how many (non-XF) MOR singles ever get to #1 nowadays...
January 15, 201114 yr So as Britney has brought her release forward to the already big week BTW, how do you know this - I've seen absolutely nothing to confirm it?
January 15, 201114 yr It depends how flattering the iTunes popularity bars really are, since it seems unlikely that the #2 or below will exceed 50k this week I made a guestimate that 'Grenade' is likely to sell 110k this week. That was purely based on Rihanna's pop bars for 'WMN'. She sold 53k last week and is unlikely to increase sales now. So Bruno Mars was just over double her pop bars earlier in the week (maybe the lead has increased since). The singles last year that sold over 100k+ (so not counting Matt Cardle) decreased to around 80-90k in their second week on the chart.
January 15, 201114 yr I think britney will be #1 on itunes just hours after release, probably setting record for the fastest climb to #1.
January 15, 201114 yr i would think britney spears will be number one since it her first single since 2009 kesha's last 3 songs didn't make the top 10 and i thought those records were good, so i don't see why WRWWR should be any different bruno mars will probably be at two adele will probably debut in the top 10 after the success of make you feel my love and as for that rap sh*t, defenetly not!!!
January 15, 201114 yr hopefully Britney for number 1.... she hasn't scored a number 1 since a long time.... Edited January 15, 201114 yr by Big Mistake
January 15, 201114 yr Bruno will stay number one. I predict - 01. Bruno Mars 02. Britney Spears/Adele 03. Britney Spears/Adele 04. Jessie J 05. Wretch 34 (WTF are these?) Wretch 32. He's just another British rapper, but Traktor is actually an amazing song IMO :P I think britney will be #1 on itunes just hours after release, probably setting record for the fastest climb to #1. I don't think many people even know it'll be released at midnight tomorrow, let alone enough flocking to iTunes at that time specifically to buy it :unsure: Also the record for the fastest climb to #1 can't be beaten. Matt Cardle entered at #1. Okay, it was heavily aided by iTunes pre-orders which were available right from the start of the series, but still. i would think britney spears will be number one since it her first single since 2009 What a bizarre argument. Gimme More was her first single since 2005 and that only got to #3. kesha's last 3 songs didn't make the top 10 and i thought those records were good, so i don't see why WRWWR should be any different Ke$ha's last 3 singles were all already available on her album. We R Who We R is not. and as for that rap sh*t, defenetly not!!! I don't know if you meant it but this looks like a prediction based on opinion. :P Edited January 15, 201114 yr by ★BlindFaithBray★
January 15, 201114 yr Britney will definately be #1 but I am not sure it will be next week. Bruno or Ke$ha me thinks. I just don't think HIAM has had enough time to build up airplay etc yet, it'd surely be performing on word of mouth that it's been released? I'm unsure :/ It should certainly be top 5 though.
January 15, 201114 yr If we were to judge it on the Irish charts, it goes like this so faar: 1. Britney 2. Grenade 3. Adele 4. What's my Name? 5. Coming Home ... 8. We R Who We R 11. Like You Like (Aggro) Wretch 32 isn't in it.... Now, If Adele can reach #3 in Ireland with very little promotion, I think it'll be against Britney and Adele - I think Aggro will be 6 or 7 and Coming Home could get top 5!! Exciting week ahead!!

Pass Out was an Irish flop until a few weeks after it got to #1 in the UK as well - Irish success is a good indicator of most things but not UK rappers' début singles. (After Tinie made a name for himself in Ireland, Frisky and Written In The Stars both did well straight away) Maybe Aggro could do well based on that though :o Also, We R Who We R has been out for ages in Ireland, it was added in Ireland before it was added in the USA IIRC, also it's been pushed back yet another week in the UK Edited January 15, 201114 yr by ★BlindFaithBray★

Sorry if this is stupid question, but do you get Radio 1 in Ireland? Radio 1 are responsible for like 90% of Wretch 32's promotion at the moment (although this will change once he gets into the charts), so if you don't get Radio 1 Wretch will probably do a lot better in the UK, but if you do get Radio 1, it doesn't look promising for him. :(

January 15, 201114 yr I take back what I posted earlier. The Britney episode of Glee will air on Monday... Could have a small effect on the new song.
January 15, 201114 yr IMO Adele doesn't have a prayer - how many (non-XF) MOR singles ever get to #1 nowadays... I would say Adele has had quite a lot of hype (no where near that of Britney, but more than I have noticed for Grenade), plus she is more popular than ever right now. I haven't met a single person who has heard RITD and not liked it. People who are just casual music listeners won't know Britney's song and her UK popularity has been wavering, where as Adele has done a lot more promo with Royal Variety and all the magazine and newspaper interviews she has been doing. I want Hold It Against Me to get to number 1 since it has AGES since she had one here and it is a great song, just not in Adele's week, I can't see any of Adele's other singles from this album having a chance at number 1 since she is more of an album seller.
January 15, 201114 yr I don't know what everyone is smoking. Britney won't be number one (or even top five possibly - maybe in a few weeks). 01. Bruno Mars 02. Adele 03. Jessie J
