So it's the favourite for Christmas No 1 on Sunday week, just what will it sell in its first week?

 

Don't think it will beat Military Wives first week sales. I haven't seen much hype for this really, although I know it's done pretty well on iTunes pre-orders, which is a good sign considering how much bigger the physicals will be for it compared to downloads. Surely over 300k though?

I've added the 500k+ option for those feeling reckless........

I say 425k.....I think it'll be something like 20k copies seperating James and JFT96 with the latter getting Christmas #1

 

I voted for 400k-500k. ^_^

I might be pessimistic and say 350k-400k.

I'm going to say 350k to 400k, somebody said its pretty high on pre-orders already.

James is highly unlikely to be near 400k on his first week let alone his second.

Is this really gonna sell that much?

Anyway, I think this'll do 300k.

Shane MacGowan to finally kinda get a Christmas #1 then!

Ive no idea how much - could flop or it could be like Arthurs single - could be a great battel for xmas no1 though!!

 

 

I don't see quite as much hype with this as the Wives last year, James' single has exceeded my expectations completely so they'll have a bit more of a challenge than I thought. It should still get to number 1 though, I'm gonna say 350-400k

 

Eliza Doolittle getting another number 1 - who'd'a thunk it?

Another #1? :unsure: She has never had one yet...

I expect this will still go to #1 easily but it's going to be a lot closer than I would have said a few days ago and it might not top James' first week sales. Big comeback for the XF single this year despite the ratings drop.

Anymore guesses on this one- given James Arthur's massive sales this week, can Justice Collective make it to the festive No 1?

I should imagine the track will get to #1 just depends how well James Arthur sales do for its second week, physically wise both tracks will have a full week's sales. Military Wives entered #1 on sales of 555,662, I think it might just come under, more like 500k, I can see the track holding on for a second week, I can't see it crashing the second week, like the Military Wives did with sales of 74,317 and dropped to #4.

It'd be interesting if James Arthur's second week sales ended up being better than Justice Collective's first week sales. 'Impossible' must be over 400k now and could well even eclipse 500k with Friday/Saturday sales included.

 

As already mentioned, I don't think Justice Collective will sell bucketloads like Military Wives did a year ago. If James Arthur's second week sales collpase 50% that's still around 250k(ish) for next week. It could be close, or maybe I'm just underestimating how well 'HAH, HMB' will sell.

I already set up a poll for this (which has apparently been closed). :blink:

 

Does that mean votes will be transferred, or will people have to vote again in the new poll?

Sorry, it wasn't me who set it up (though I knew I'd seen one before) - but my question still stands...

It was closed because this was set up BEFORE that one! :lol:
