I have to admit that I expected higher of Anything Could Happen, but in a quieter week I think she could have quite easily been #1. I hope it sticks around for a bit though, it's got a very mature sound to it that I like.

 

I would never have expected it to outsell any of the four releases above it, I thought it may struggle for top 10 initially so I'm glad with how well its done. Great comeback

If Swedish House Mafia was released this week and replaced One Direction in the Top 5, it would be the best Top 5 of the year!

Highest charting Bond theme since 'Die Another Day' which made #3 in 2002.

Aw, wanted Adele to be Top 3, but to reach number 4 after being released on a Friday and released on a week with other big releases, it's done incredibly well! Can't get enough of this song! :wub: I'm sure it will go down in James Bond Theme history.

Was hoping 1D would stall at 4 after their pathetic attempt at promotion on X Factor last night. Oh well.

If Adele climbs to #1 next week, then it'll be the first time a James Bond theme has hit the top spot. None of the previous 22 have made it as far, although Duran x2 did get to #2 here, and #1 in America.

Excellent - this was what I predicted for Skyfall from the beginning of the week.

:o gutted for adelley!

Why? #4 is AMAZING on two day's sales.

I'd say it's almost a given.

Shame she couldn't get ahead of One Direction at least! Skyfall for #1 next week!

Skyfall must be one of the fastest selling singles of the year on the fact that Owl City ft. Carly Rae and Kylie's singles were also released on a Friday and yet never reached Top 10 on debut weeks. Adele is the first person to reach top 10 having released on a Friday.

Owly Rae Jepsity released their song on the Wednesday and still missed the top ten.

Of this year, you mean?

Ha! #3 for One Direction.

 

FLOP! :kink:

#3 for One Direction without 'Skyfall' pushing it down, that's a shocker. I never would have imagined this at all, but it's well deserved for being a poor re-hash of 'One Thing'.

Oh dear at Wun Dee.
