I don't even think Tinchy Stryder - Help Me even got in the top 300 on iTunes at all, it wouldn't surprise me if it charted below 500. It's weird how much he's declined, especially since Bright Lights was a reasonable size hit.

Bruno Mars - Locked Out Of Heaven is getting released on the 25th of November here! I'm also very surprised there's not been a new batch of 59p songs this week!

 

10. Taylor Swift - Red (Not really had much of a top 10 effect in the slightest)

16. Nicki Minaj - Va Va Voom Voom

30. Adele - I Can't Make You Love Me

38. Taylor Swift - Begin Again

48. Jake Bugg - Two Fingers

54. Maroon 5 - One More Night

76. Chris Brown - Don't Judge Me

I liked a few of Tinchy's singles but I was always more of a Chipmunk man...shame that he seems to have gone back underground now too since the 'Transition' era went up the pictures last year.

 

Chipmunk has signed to T.I.'s record label a few months ago, so it's actually possible he might have success in the US now. He's changed his rap name to "Chip", and he's performing in a cypher at the BET awards this year, with the rest of the crew (T.I., Iggy Azalea, B.o.B, etc.) which is a big thing for him imo.

 

His last album was a mixed bag, since it gave us Champion, his biggest ever hit, but In the Air and Take Off flopped. But then again, he might not have ever got a US record deal if it wasn't for this album (it's a very American sounding album).

PSY up to 80% of Rihanna now. Should overtake sometime tomorrow?

Poor One Direction! It's really not looking good for them, eh? Guess the hype is slowly fading?!

 

PS. me and Harry have the same coat! LOL.

'Help Me' wasn't supported anywhere surely? Tinchy has always been extremely hit and miss with his singles. His singles peak run is 73-3-1-1-14-67-10-22-{22}-14-5-24-7 (the bracketed bit being 'Game Over' whose single status is debatable). I don't think this one mega flop single means that's the end of his career, like Eric said look at Wiley, he only just got into the top 100 on iTunes with 'Boom Blast' this year but the next single after that got a lot more support and became his biggest hit to date.

 

PSY isn't properly gaining on Rihanna, that jump from 0.75 to 0.8 could be the tiniest little jump if it's in the middle of those two values due to Kworb's rounding. Rihanna isn't in danger until PSY gets closer to 0.9/0.95, there's always going to be little fluctuations where he appears to be catching her only to fall away again.

Help Me got playlisted by Radio 1Xtra, but that's useless for the charts. I don't think he got playlisted by any big stations with that song. Tinchy will easily get back in the top 40 if Capital FM every playlist one of his songs again.

True, true...I just wanna hear more from him in the UK cause I really loved his first album and I quite liked 'Transition' too, I love his energy when he performs. It'd be really great if he could break the US, I think certainly working with Chris Brown, Keri Hilson and Trey Songz gave him a bit of a leg up/more attention to their production teams/scene over there. Only Tinie Tempah seems to have smashed it Stateside and Chip (as I should now call him) deserves to as well!

It took a whole day to gain 5% on Rihanna..... How is it going to get a 20% gain ina day?

Because these things aren't uniform! I'm not saying that PSY will catch Rihanna tomorrow, but just because one thing happened in 24 hour cycle doesn't mean that the rest will follow sequentially. :D

Yeah, I agree that the collaborations helped him get noticed there. Especially Champion, since it became a bonus track on Chris Brown's album.

 

It might be better for him in a way if he gets US success, because I feel he's quite hated by a lot of people in the UK now.

 

He went to the birthday party of one of my sisters friends last year. The pictures are all up on Facebook and he looks really miserable in them (how he can be so miserable when he's in a house full of 17 year-old girls, I'll NEVER understand. Maybe the fame is getting to him :lol:).

 

Coincidentally, Chipmunk and Tinchy Stryder (and Dot Rotten, Fazer and Angel) are perfoming at my city this month.

Morning update: http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?s...t&p=4108091

 

59p songs in the top 100:

 

30 Muse - Madness

40 Professor Green feat. Sierra Kusterbeck - Avalon

44 Swedish House Mafia - Greyhound

85 Professor Green feat. Emeli Sandé - Read All About It

96 Jason Mraz - I'm Yours

98 Jay-Z & Kanye West feat. Frank Ocean - No Church In The Wild

A lot of UK rappers are going to struggle now that dance-pop music is starting to fade away tbh.

 

It is? Offhand I can't see what's replacing it?

 

Poor One Direction! It's really not looking good for them, eh? Guess the hype is slowly fading?!

 

Or Harry is just using too much of his energy chasing Mrs Robinson's? :lol:

Adult contemporary and alternative. Not so much in the UK, but reading the US Hot 100 every week is like reading the Heart FM playlist. Full of MOR stuff. It's happening a bit in the UK too, there's definitely less dance-pop music than last year.

76. Chris Brown - Don't Judge Me

 

I assume the song title is supposed to be ironic...

Rihanna 100% (Dark Green update)

PSY 75% (Dark Red update)

1D 45% (Dark Red update)

 

1D has no option left. They could even be passed by PSY

something good is about 79 places too low

Ouch @ One Direction being down to 0.45 of Rihanna already - as we've said before she's almost certainly got the number-one spot secured. I'm more interested to see what happens between #2-5. Will PSY overtake 1D officially, will Adele's midweek release overtake them both?

Anyone who bought Psy should be put down.

 

Not because he's beating One Direction, I couldn't care less.

 

Just because it's ridiculous and not a proper song.

OD going to fall behind Ellie Goulding soon?
