35 Adele/ I Can't Make You Love Me (Live)

49 Big Hits 2012/ Tea And Toast

 

115 & 919 No Doubt/ Settle Down

03. Ne-Yo 'Let Me Love You (Until You Learn to Love Yourself)'

04. Flo Rida 'I Cry'

05. Taylor Swift 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together'

 

24. Jason Mraz 'I Won't Give Up'

40. Lana Del Rey 'Blue Velvet'

12. Turn Around (feat. Ne-Yo) - Conor Maynard

Woulod really love to see this giving Conor a third top 10 hit. Seems to be beginning to help the album recover as well (up 95-84 last week for all that counts, if it could get back into the top 40 in time for the Christmas market that'd be good).

 

Adele at #35, could possibly even outpeak 'Turning Tables' then! I remember it went top 100 on iTunes on the week of the iTunes Fest EP's release, being the only 'new' song on there, but it missed out officially.

 

'Big Hits 2012' look fairly likely to go up to 4 top 100 hits this week with 'Tea And Toast' at #47 and 'Last Night (Beer Fear)' at #64. I wonder if it's the same people who were behind the charting fakes of 'Bom Bom' and 'Let Me Love You (Until You Learn To Love Yourself)', it is a pretty generic name for a fake artist. On the subject of fakes, Ultimate Pop Hits' version of 'Gangnam Style' still looking likely to go top 100, currently at #70 :drama:

 

Album version of 'I Will Wait' already up to #76 :D Single version at #17, hopefully should go at least top 15 this week but not expecting top 10.

 

Coldplay 'Fix You' back in the top 100 again at #78, must have been used on the X Factor again without me noticing.

Would love "Settle Down" to belatedly make the top 40, bought it this morning.

Some Nights #6 :cheer:

Apparently Rihanna's new single Diamonds is getting its radio premiere on Wednesday, is it likely to be released OA/OS or a bit later like We Found Love?

Apparently it's going on iTunes worldwide at 9:00 ET (14:00 GMT).

If it stops One Direction getting #1 next week that would be amazing. Not that I hate "Live While We're Young".

Taylor Swift up to No.3, this song is starting to annoy me a little bit.

I don't think there's much danger of that, knowing UK record labels we probably won't even get it on Wednesday. I would love it if Rihanna could hold off One Direction next week but it's not happening, they're easily going to sell 150k+.

I don't see why we're all so sure 1D are going to clear 150k. Last time round they had a heldback release and huge amounts of hype. They obviously have a lot of hype right now and the stanbase is probably more solid but it's only been held back a week or so. I'd say they'll do more in the line of 120k (at best) and Rihanna could match that.

I highly doubt they'll sell 150K in one week. :lol: The song just got "premiered" a few days ago and they don't have any promo for it lined up. It's too similar to 'What Makes You Beautiful' as well.

 

I'm saying about 110K at the most.

I can't see Rihanna selling 120,000 without holding back her song. Even Only Girl debuted with only 126,000, with months of promotion and the hype following from LTWYL. Not to mention, by the sounds of things the song isn't going to be dance, so it probably won't even get to #1. Probably success more like Russian Roulette.

If Diamonds is out this week, we've found this week's No.1. If it's out next week, it will be somehow close.

Really... its out on Wednesday how is it going to catch up :mellow: "slaps self"

Because that's exactly what she did that one year ago?

We Found Love was held back for like a month though. This song will be practically on air, on sale (if it is released this week).

It wasn't even a fortnight, premiered on 22nd Sept, charted on 9th Oct, so must have been released on 5th.

+ Sales are low right now. Rihanna might have trouble beating 1D but I wouldn't be surprised to see her beat PSY this week were she to release at midnight.
