October 9, 201114 yr Nope, I personally think she's a near-certainty for #1 today :( I think Rihanna is probably the best option for no.1 so we don't have to deal with outrage if she doesn't make. Us Maroon 5 fans are used to the disappointment :(
October 9, 201114 yr I think Rihanna is probably the best option for no.1 so we don't have to deal with outrage if she doesn't make. We don't? There's nothing about Rihanna that doesn't scream sneaky to me these days.* *Though I wouldn't feel this way if "MLJ" had already been #1 at any other point the past 5 weeks.

October 9, 201114 yr "Written In The Stars", "Fat Lip" (:wub: :wub:) and "Setting Sun" in the retros? My brain cannot cope with the awesomeness.
October 9, 201114 yr It's amazing how long MYFML has stayed on the charts even after it stopped being used on reality TV every other week - it still hasn't left the top 100 since it re-entered at #4. Of course the fact commercial radio have finally 'discovered' it (it even got a new peak on the radio airplay chart last year) will have helped its longevity massively but you'd still never have expected at the time that it'd STILL be in the chart now. Just The Way You Are is the only other song that was in the top 100 that week that hasn't left since. Edited October 9, 201114 yr by Bré

October 9, 201114 yr *Though I wouldn't feel this way if "MLJ" had already been #1 at any other point the past 5 weeks. To be fair, this is the first week of the six where I think the song that could stop MLJ is actually a good song. Can't say that for the last 5. Edited October 9, 201114 yr by T Boy
October 9, 201114 yr typical the teen awards rubbish is on just when wee have an interesting chart....why do they jus reduce the chart show instead of talking about the teen awards afterwards in the mid evening shows

October 9, 201114 yr 2010 01. (-) Tinie Tempah ft Eric Turner - Written In The Stars 02. (1) Bruno Mars - Just The Way You Are (Amazing) 03. (-) Labrinth - Let The Sunshine 04. (RE) Adele - Make You Feel My Love 05. (2) Taio Cruz - Dynamite 06. (3) Katy Perry - Teenage Dream 07. (4) The Script - For The First Time 08. (13) Enrique Iglesias - Heartbeat ft Nicole Scherzinger 09. (8) Katy B - Katy On A Mission 10. (5) Alexandra Burke - Start Without You ft Laza Morgan You know, I shall do the retros because a year ago was the first week I went on the Radio 1 website and looked at the chart. I'd heard the Chart Update with Tinie at #1 as well. The whole top ten this week is pretty great as well. I didn't actually know at the time that MYFML was a reentry, I hadn't looked carefully enough, and I hadn't heard of Adele before either. :lol: Tinie and Labrinth both had brilliant songs there, and both were definitely in my songs of early October. This week has a huge amount of almost mysterious importance to me, because I wasn't paying attention then when reading the website and I didn't know every single song in the top 40. It's been a year. Can't believe that. I didn't start listening to the chart show proper until a few more weeks down the line, though. 2006 01. (15) Razorlight - America 02. (1) Scissor Sisters - I Don't Feel Like Dancin' 06. (2) The Killers - When You Were Young 07. (6) Lily Allen - Ldn 09. (5) Justin Timberlake - Sexyback 10. (4) Evanescence - Call Me When You're Sober Alright top 10. Scissor Sisters is still the best song in there, though. 2001 01. (1) Kylie Minogue - Can't Get You Out Of My Head 02. (3) DJ Otzi - Hey Baby 03. (4) City High - What Would You Do 04. (2) Steps - Chain Reaction/One For Sorrow Just the top 4 this week, really. Don't particularly recognise anything from 96, although there's probably a few I've know but don't know properly.
October 9, 201114 yr Author yeah, I'll do the retro :P 2010 (hate to be pedantic, but I think these are a week early :( nonetheless...) They aren't - I have checked a fair few times!
October 9, 201114 yr They aren't - I have checked a fair few times! I think C.W may be right this week's chart is the one for 15th Oct 2011 - the nearest week would be 16th Oct 2010 when Cee-Lo entered at No 1....... :D (just 2010 though the rest I think are right) Edited October 9, 201114 yr by gezza76
October 9, 201114 yr They aren't - I have checked a fair few times! The week in question was, by my numbering, week 40 of 2010. Today's chart is week 41 of 2011 (by the same numbering system). So I'd agree, the retro seems to be a week early for some reason. Although I think the OCC 'officially' had 2010 as a 53 week year whereas I have it as a normal 52 week year which may be where the one week difference is coming from. This would all be so much easier if the Earth would orbit the Sun a day and a quarter quicker so every day of the year would always be the same day of the week as it was the previous year :lol: Edited October 9, 201114 yr by Bré
October 9, 201114 yr Maroon 5 will be #1 today, I really don't think it will be as close as everyone says, there will be nearly 10k between them I predict. I really can't see Rihanna doing it at all.

October 9, 201114 yr I really want Rihanna to get a 6th Number 1, mainly because so many of her songs went to Number 2 & then after Madonna & Kylie she will have the most number 1's by a solo female singer. That being said, I do want Christina to get a 5th Number 1, and then that would but her among the other 5 number 1 hit's, Beyonce, Britney, Rihanna
October 9, 201114 yr NO SPOILERS IN THE THREAD PLEASE - NOT EVEN IN SPOILER TAGS. Wrath aplenty for those of you who ignore this :D
October 9, 201114 yr I'm more concerned about the fact that if We Found Love stalls at #2, that'll be three #2 hits in a year for Calvin Harris :drama: Has this ever happened before? I know Kylie had 3 #2s in a row once but I don't know if they were all in the same year. (FTR I mean in a calendar year, not in a period of 52 weeks) Edited October 9, 201114 yr by Bré
