I think Professor Green has the #1 in the bag. I'm happy for him but it's a pity he couldn't get the top spot with Just Be Good To Green or Monster which are much better than Read All About It.

I think Simon will have Labrinth appear a different week if I'm honest. He'd want Tempah to be avaliable at the same time and be able to pair the 'Earthquake' collaborators with a big US act.

 

Seems a poor decision though - although I'm hoping 'RAAI' and 'E' can be the T2!

I can't see Professor Green NOT getting to number 1 with Read All About It. If it isn't huge I will be very surprised. It would definately be a deserving number 1, far better than any of his previous singles.

I think Labrinth is going to make it to #1 with Tinie, but then again I think Pro Green & Emeli have a huge hit on their hands too, bit of a shame they both releasing same week as both are worthy #1 contenders. It'll be an interesting battle anyway.

Don't know If Either Will make It :unsure:

Who do you think will be #1? I'm looking through releases and can't see anyone who'd challenge the release. LMFAO?

why does the x factor always change the charts?

I find it so strange Professor Green got a slot on XFactor instead of Labrinth when he's the Syco artist...

Me too... It's rather strange.

 

Although Emeli Sande does work with a few Syco artists.

Because it reaches an audience of 10,000,000 people at the same time. It's one of the best forms of promotion you can get for a song.

As a big fan of Professor Green, I'd love for him to get his first Number 1. But I have a feeling that in reality it will be Labrinth.

hmmm i dont like 'read all about it'

I really want Professor Green to be #1, but Labrinth seems to have a lot more hype, so I think he may just do it. 'Let The Sun Shine' didn't fall too far from #1 when he wasn't known of that much, but since then he's produced loads of tracks and has surged in popularity - I think he has #1 in the bag although I don't like the song. Also, after the underperforming X Factor debut singles in the last few years, Syco won't let Labrinth down...

Welll its going to be close but I think Labrinth Has it in the bag for number 1 ... there is alot of hype for the track

X Factor is incredible promo, however its not the be all and end all. It does help songs with massive sales increase and on some occassions its doesnt, not everything performed will be #1 or have huge sales. It does take a big song, artist, and also the song has to be supported by radio/tv too. Its a comibantion of factors, X Factor is only one of them.

 

That said i really think we'll have a good battle, but Pro Green will get it as its already an anticpated track, with X Factor it'll be the much needed boost to get it that #1.
