December 22, 201114 yr Last minute Christmas shopping on Friday and Saturday will probably give it a huge boost. I think 50k today, 70k on Friday and then 120k+ on Saturday! We can only hope that Cowell getting his ass kicked so thoroughly, will persuade him to end XF... :teresa:
December 22, 201114 yr Author Based on the info we have from OCC website the top 8 singles looks like this 1 Military Wives (390,000) 2 Little Mix 3 Lou Monte 4 Alex Day (13k ahead) 5 Coldplay 6 Olly Murs 7 Lloyd 8 Nirvana However there is less than 600 copies separating Nos 6 to 8 On a different note we still don't have any updates from MW (Music Week that is)
December 22, 201114 yr Hopefully the campaigns will die down after this years flop of a campaign for Nirvana. Especially as NONE of them are above Little Mix. :D
December 22, 201114 yr Alex Day actually extending a lead over #5 (Coldplay) - that's crazy. Hopefully the multiple versions of 'Forever Yours' all begin to drop quickly come Friday/Saturday and result in a low top 10-placing, having 4 'campaign' songs in the top 10 is one thing, but 3 in the top 5 is just irritating.
December 22, 201114 yr I can't see Alex Day losing #4 now, his top version is actually holding up quite well (still #17 at the moment) and as of the last Kworb update he's still at #11 combined with just the 3 versions still T100 and is almost certainly higher than that with his other 9 versions, most of which are still T300, combined in as well. And 13k is a pretty big lead. I also think the song could hold on for a second week in the top 40 unless it starts plummeting a lot faster in the next few days. Disappointing to see Coldplay only getting Christmas #5 when they looked set for the #3 until Alex and Lou exploded out of nowhere but they might reclimb to #2/3 next week :P
December 22, 201114 yr Coldplay look like they have slowed down saleswise in the singles. Last week's high sales were probably due to x factor publicity from the previous saturday.
December 22, 201114 yr Author We have mids, but they do look like yesterday's :lol: hardly any movers.
December 22, 201114 yr HMV Belfast has sold out of MWC - whats the est for the end of the week - 550-600k?
December 22, 201114 yr HMV Belfast has sold out of MWC - whats the est for the end of the week - 550-600k? 550,000 disappointed parents & grandparents on xmas day i feel.
December 22, 201114 yr HMV Belfast has sold out of MWC - whats the est for the end of the week - 550-600k? Could be 700K. I'll go for that.
December 22, 201114 yr #10 in the year-end chart is going to be at the likes 770-775k. I'm still uncertain whether MWC are gonna make it. I hope for no more 150k next week. I really hope that the year-end top-10 will stay as it is

December 22, 201114 yr Ooh, The A Team back in the top 40 :cheer: Hope it can hold on until Sunday. Where exactly is 'Heart Skips A Beat' today? And is '21' really down to #11 today or is that an error? :o Drake album climbing again :D Hopefully it will sell 20k+ this week. If 'What Makes You Beautiful' is 20+2 today it should be listed in the main update as it was #24 last week. Edited December 22, 201114 yr by Michael Bubré

December 22, 201114 yr Author Where exactly is 'Heart Skips A Beat' today? 32 And don't forget to eat your feet, you can add salt and pepper for the taste
December 22, 201114 yr You have to wonder if more than a few % of those will ever listen to it more than once, though... :rolleyes: Doesnt matter if they buy the single and never listen to it, its going to be Christmas number one with massive sales. :)
December 22, 201114 yr Doesnt matter if they buy the single and never listen to it, its going to be Christmas number one with massive sales. :) They'll just file it in the bureau next to their copies of 'Candle in the Wind 1997', 'Do They Know It's Christmas (1984)' and 'Do They Know It's Christmas (2004)'
