Pleased to see Will having a great start. No doubt it wil fall with the album out tomorrow but it's the sales of that that are important.

 

Can't wait to hear the album version of Jealousy , almost a minute longer than the radio edit. :D

 

Bloody hell :o

 

How many more acts this year are going to prove that with a great song you can haul yourself out of increasing irrelevance :lol: Nicole, J.Lo, Maroon 5/Xtina and now Will Young. Excellent stuff! I won't be downloading as I'm getting the album tomorrow but it's still nice to see.

No, they played this version with will.i.am:

 

 

 

Listen to 0:32 - 0:49 of Free

 

and compare it to 0:45 - 1:10 of Wuthering Heights.

 

They're exactly the same melody.

Yeah, because it's a sample? :lol: The track itself doesn't sound a thing like Wuthering Heights, the sample aside! You might as well say When Love Takes Over sounds exactly the same as Clocks - it completely misses the point.

Also FANTASTIC for Jealousy. Easily one of my favourite tracks of the year - it's unlikely but I do hope he can bludgeon Olly Murs and his sodding hat collection to death (chartwise ofc ~) this week.

Yeah, I was exaggerating when I said "exactly the same". I should've said "They sound the same for 15 seconds of the chorus". :lol:

 

I didn't know it was a sample, but I guess it makes sense. Regardless, I think it's quite a good song. The music video is awful though imo. :puke:

21. Will Young 'Jealousy (Radio Edit)' (should be T20)

37. Olly Murs 'Heart Skips A Beat (feat. Rizzle Kicks)' (should be no.1)

47. Calvin Harris 'Feel So Close (Radio Edit)' (should be top 3)

52. Ellie Goulding 'Your Song' (may not go T40 after all)

57. Eminem 'Stan' (didn't get this at first but I love it now. Wouldn't it be AMAZING for it to re-enter T40 while it's 59p :wub: [/loon])

101. Feeder 'Buck Rogers' (lucozade advert isn't having too much of an effect on this one)

I have Will Young at 19, Olly Murs at 24 and Calvin Harris at 37

Same here, they're climbing fast :D

Yes, especially Olly as everybody predicted. I'm happy for Will's position I think he could go top 10 on iTunes :wub:

Why is Will only predicted top 20 at no. 21, and Olly no. 1 when he's 37?

Olly's ep is at #2 in the album chart & he will have physicals.

 

Still without any airplay from the radio stations that mainly influence downloading. Jealousy is doing brilliant.

Why is Will only predicted top 20 at no. 21, and Olly no. 1 when he's 37?

Because of

1. the rate they are all climbing;

2. expected front-loaded-ness for Will Young (fanbase buying + lack of support from the media)

3. (quite) expected relatively low starts for Calvin and Olly.

Go Will! Jealousy has became one of my favourite songs of the year!

Why is Will only predicted top 20 at no. 21, and Olly no. 1 when he's 37?

 

tbh I wouldn't be surprised if Will makes T10 especially with the poor sales (46k for no.1 seriously :o) Olly is predicted number one because he's had more promotion and he of course has an EP (Will Young doesn't which is why he's higher currently)

Bloody hell :o

but Will Young has never been irrelevant. His last album went platinum and so did his 2009 compilation. He clearly have a big fanbase.

Olly at 11 and Will at 12 now

Sorry, I didn't make myself that clear, I meant singles chart wise. He hasn't had a major hit (Changes came and went very quickly despite the #10 peak...) since 2006.

Yes, he's done well with his albums but his last top 20 single was "Changes" back in 2008. So yeah he's becoming more relevant now. His album will likely go to number one (the last time that happened was 2003) :o

Wow. I really hope Will gets a Top 10!
