When is 'Next To Me' released? I've seen the video a few times and I really like the track. I'm guessing Emeli will be performing at The Brit Awards 2012 so if she performs 'Next To Me', the combined sales (single version, Brits version) might create another big selling single benefitting from two versions charting high on iTunes.

 

I can see both Lana Del Rey and Emeli Sandé's albums going to #1 like Charlie mentioned earlier. Don't think either will have the mammoth selling power that ''21' enjoyed throughout 2011. Of the two, I'd predict 'Our Version of Events' will be the bigger selling album - possibly of the year? Difficult to tell at the moment.

 

Next To Me is scheduled for a 'release' on 12 Feb, so the day before the album - sometimes when this is scheduled they don't actually release a single version and it just has 'cherrypick' sales, giving it a 6-day first week.

 

Emeli isn't confirmed for a BRITs performance yet but Olly Murs was added quite recently so there could still be more to come.

I'm waiting for a miracle to put me out of my misery. I want to see Born to die in the top 10 this sunday. :(

We haven't had a new #1 album yet this year, with the #1 changing between Ed, Adele, Bruno and maybe Coldplay. Hopefully next week we should see a change with Lana Del Rey, she could easily sell over 22k that's all she needs.

 

As for the singles Alyssa Reid could be a dark horse, I see the fake versions are appearing on iTunes already but saying that, the fakes can hinder her chart position. I think the #1 position is going to be between David Guetta/Sia and Flo Rida/Sia challenging for the #1 single next week, with Gotye thrown in the mix.

 

I love seeing tracks climbing to #1 after such an amount of weeks in the chart, instead of debuting at #1.

 

Same here, shows true incresing popularity rather than a marketing jump in at no1 and falling fast!

Cover Drive only prove this tactic is employed - it's set for #1 on Sunday, but is already down to #3 on iTunes, I imagine a 3/4 place drop next week is definitely on the cards, not a good start for a #1 single.

 

Hoping 'Titanium' can reach #1 next week, if 'Alone Again' came in and snatched it, I'd be crushed - it'd be similar to 'Moves Like Jagger', whereby it reached #1 at the end of the week on iTunes, didn't get it officially and the same thing happened again week after week.

It just depends if how big Titaniums lead is on itunes...you can never tell by the bars weather its selling loads or the others are falling etc....a massive sale for a number 1 climber would be great!!

Why has Talk That Talk plummeted so much? Out of the top 20?!

 

Somehow it is below Born This Way despite Gaga not even having any single in the top 40.

 

Rihanna needs to promote!

It'd be incredibly annoyed if it happens but I have a feeling Titanium and Gotye will both have same fate, getting stuck at #2 with different one weekers through February. Hopefully I am wrong though.

Rizzle Kicks album for new peak. :o Wow. :lol:

 

Anyone else a bit dissapointed with Rebecca's albums performance? Fair enough it's sold over 400K but it's dropped pretty quickly and I can't see her having any more "big" singles. I was expecting her to be a huge success story this year but it's a tiny bit underwhelming with her sales so far.
