'Stingin' Belle' :up: to #90 - top 100 at least and climbing quite quickly now for what it's worth (i.e. nothing, as it's a pre-order track). Was it only released today?

There's obviously a lot more, but i've highlighted ones I think could make an impact.

It surprises me that Calvin Harris - You Use To Hold Me didn't get into the top 10.

 

LOL at the shitty lyrics in Tulisa's song. These are my personal highlights:

 

"We should pop more champagne this year than we did last year"

 

"We got out glasses up and bottles high and if you don't that's your loss"

 

"Got the shots going around the room and it's all on me yeah"

 

It surprises me that Calvin Harris - You Use To Hold Me didn't get into the top 10.

 

Me too. I used to hear it on the radio so much, and Calvin was big at the time. It was a post-album single though, so it's a bit harder obviously.

 

On another note, it's extremely distressing that Dappy isn't yet in the top 10.

Also Nelly Furtado won't be anywhere near the top 10, I fully expect a #33 smash for her.

 

I'd be very surprised if Nelly *didn't* go top 10 - she's always been much more of an albums artist.

 

Pitbull, like Flo Rida, has no fanbase at all.

 

Maybe he doesn't, but what about Shakira?

 

I think this could get to #1 in a quiet week. It's massive. :yahoo:

 

Only if that week was 26/5/06, and Orson were the competition :rolleyes: - it's awful. :(

Maybe he doesn't, but what about Shakira?

 

I was thinking about this the other night, no Shakira doesn't really have a fanbase here. She debuted in the middle of the latino wave that was happening in the early 2000s and was already considered passé (Radio 1 wouldn't play her) when Hips Don't Lie was released, but that was huge because it was such a catchy song. When she came back with a similar song (featuring Dizzee Rascal no less) it picked up no airplay and got cancelled. When I saw her live last Christmas at the O2, I'd say 1/3 to 1/2 of the audience was Latino and from various countries around the world. I really fear for her proper comeback if she can't get a hit on the back of one of the most popular (sales wise) rappers around at the moment.

I would love Gangnam Style to get to number 1 :D Someone make it happen!

:up: 10. Flo Rida 'I Cry'

:up: 11. Dappy 'Good Intentions'

:down: 12. Gerry & the Pacemakers 'You'll Never Walk Alone'

 

:up: 28. Jessica Wright 'Dance All Night'

:up: 35. Professor Green 'Avalon'

:up: 39. Damien Rice 'Coconut Skins'

:up: 40. Emeli Sande 'Clown'

:up: 47. Muse 'Madness'

:down: 61. Pitbull 'Get It Started'

:up: 81. Biffy Clyro 'Stingin' Belle'

Unless it's rap collaborations that are putting off her fanbase, of course?

So four big top ten hits off an album that only made #5 itself is normal in your world?

 

Only if that week was 26/5/06, and Orson were the competition :rolleyes: - it's awful. :(

 

Given it's going to sell more than 17k this week and is still climbing, that's laughable.

 

I hope PSY doesn't get to #1 this week, I'd rather have the Script for a second week, it probably get #1 next week as there is hardly anything new out.

Shocked really that 'Gangnam Style' has picked up quickly. I had only expected Rebecca Black 'Friday' success, so it's incredible to see it as high as #12 now.

 

:up: 08. Flo Rida 'I Cry'

:down: 09. Little Mix 'Wings'

 

With multiple versions of 'Good Time' around, Dappy/PSY will have a lot to catch up on to get into the top 10 officially. I think PSY could well make it, and keep Flo Rida out, should it get a nice top 10 boost.

Good Intentions :left: #11 :cry:

Gangnam Style :up: #12

 

I think N-Dubz members have got a permanent residence in the 11-17 section of the chart :kink:

 

Glad to see PSY on the up, hope it leapfrogs into the top 10 soon (hopefully knocking out Flo rather than Owl but either is good really).
