"Somebody That I Used To Know" can stay put please until either "Niggas In Paris" or "We Are Young" are able to take over. :D

dont you people find it boring to have the same song at number 1 always?

Hardly - that is more unusual lately so it can hardly be always or boring?

Somebody that i used to know is shit and I can't wait for it to be off number 1

Sorry Buzzjackians, but I think you are now already aware that I think this also! :P Terribly overrated :(

 

Well Gotye is most likely to be knocked off the no. 1 spot next week. It's just a case of who by as I still have a gut feeling Labrinth will do better than JLS but Katy Perry has now been added into the mix. Gotye could well drop to #4 or #5 if those three do well, and 'Starships' gets its music video premiere. :o

I dunno. Now Katy Perry has been moved forward a week I'm expecting the top 5 next week to officially look like:

 

01. Katy Perry 'Part Of Me'

02. Gotye feat. Kimbra 'Somebody That I Used to Know'

03. Nicki Minaj 'Starships'

04. Labrinth 'Last Time'

05. JLS 'Proud'

 

I get the feeling now, that both Labrinth and JLS are extremely front loaded and will only do well until about Tuesday on iTunes. Labrinth will hold on longer than JLS though. 'Starships' could be number 2, it depends on whether the video is released next week or if it gets the price reduction to 59p for a week. (I get the feeling that it's due one soon, I dunno why :lol:) Maybe Gotye will also be chopped down in price so it'll prevent it from falling any further?

maybe it's because of you lot why that shit song is still number 1

maybe it's because of you lot why that shit song is still number 1

:lol: What a ridiculous thing to say. I bought Gotye the week it entered the chart and anyway, what if we are keeping it #1? Maybe some people actually like it.

 

What songs do YOU like?

£13,541.22 wasted on that song in the last 24 hours

I think you have made your opinion known, perhaps it is time for you to move on?

Oh definitely. :D I also bought that "shit song" by Gotye too. Best 99p I've spent so far this year (oh, I also bought 'Titanium' when it was 59p).

 

Clearly our tastes in music are polar opposites. :lol:

01. Katy Perry 'Part Of Me'

02. Gotye feat. Kimbra 'Somebody That I Used to Know'

03. Nicki Minaj 'Starships'

04. Labrinth 'Last Time'

05. JLS 'Proud'

 

That's what I'd predict aswell (except with Nicki and Labrinth swapped around). I can't imagine Katy not getting #1.

 

The week after that I can see it being between Chris Brown, Plan B, Gotye and Nicki Minaj for #1. It would be amazing if Gotye got 3 runs at #1. That can't've happened in the UK charts in a long time.

There's no way JLS will be as low as #5 - I think we'll almost certainly have an all new top 3 of Katy, Labrinth and JLS which could be in pretty much any order, then maybe Sean Paul also going top 10. HOPEFULLY Greyhound and Niggas In Paris will also climb in (well, if the latter could get there this week that'd be ideal but I don't see it happening).

alright but don't bite my head off for saying that song is shit

Agree with Katy being #1 next week and I can see Plan B or Chris Brown doing it the week after. Not sure about Gotye being #1 AGAIN. Actually has this ever happened?

Of course not, you are entitled to your opinion, but don't make every post about it :lol:

:rolleyes:

 

errr... it sold 558,348 to date, go figure...

2 or 3 times in the 50s, then Three Lions also did it if you count the '98 chart run as a re-entry.

I love Somebody That I Used to Know, but I respect your opinion. :)

...and Party Rock Anthem has sold over 1 million. I don't think sales are a good arguement to use. High sales means a song is promoted well (on the radio, MTV, etc.). We shouldn't look into it that much.

I personally wouldn't count the '98 3 Lions as it has different lyrics (but I know some do). Should have guessed it happened in the '50s!

I mean at the end of the day your putting money in Gotye's pocket, it's not as if he will come and thank all of you individually. There's no need to have a heart attack because I critized his song.

I'm unsure as to how all of the new releases will do next week actually, I just can't see Gotye dropping from #1 to #4 or further when it's still such a massive song. They're all such weak singles by their respective artists, Last Time has finally grown on me but to see it at #1 when Earthquake couldn't get there would be ridiculous. JLS' song is a cliched non-event which will disappear as quickly as it arrived. Part Of Me is my favourite but it's FAR weaker than the six singles from the pre re-release Teenage Dream era, it really doesn't deserve to be at #1, and if it does will only do so by virtue of being a previously unavailable Katy song.

 

I doubt Gotye will get six weeks and I'm sure one of the new releases will get it. Part Of Me will linger around the chart for the longest so I guess it should be that but it doesn't feel strong enough to be a #1, but then it debuted at the top in the US so what do I know :lol:

I didn't think it was going to go anywhere else :lol: I buy a song as I like it, and I am aware where the money goes. What a bizarre thing to say.
