is there ANY chance they can make a last minute rule change- esp. if the song explodes on iTunes and the public outcry is very vocal (like what happened with Blackout in 2007)?

All the updates I've seen have had them at #11, never Top 10.

Bon Jovi went up to #10 late in the night.

 

I still cant believe David Bowie is at #1, the song sounds so bland as well.

Thanks, that'll be why I didn't notice it. Not receiving a "Top 10 effect", although that was probably to be expected.

 

I listened to 1 minute of it about an hour ago, not my cup of tea to say the least. The Bon Jovi song however.. :wub:

Back thanks to the cutest wedding speech ever by Tom Fletcher :wub: "Love is Easy" and "Shine a Light" are also both in the top 1496, but don't feature:

I really rather like it, it's very 'reflective'. But I never expected a 'Life on Mars'.

I also didn't expect it to be no.1 on iTunes either, considering that a small but loyal fanbase would give him a top 75 entry overall.

Although the general consensus here is that it's chart ineligible anyway.

I saw Bon Jovi up to #9 at some point today, around the time Bowie first got to #1.

 

Maybe 2013 is the year of older acts managing a comeback? Madonna chose the wrong year.

Good news for Kylie. B-)

The fall that the David Bowie song is going to have tomorrow might be a record for iTunes.

Bon Jovi were #9 earlier - they were obviously not going to last long in the top 10 but surprised they've dropped out THIS quickly.

 

'Clique' up to #20 :D Could even re-peak at this rate.

 

Vato #36, My Chemical Romance #44. Ooh at Frank Ocean now nearing the top 40, thought he had peaked already.

Kiss You #12

 

Let It Roll - Flo Rida #83 - i'm guessing this is his next single and will probably shoot up like I Cry did :drama:

 

 

Amazing for David Bowie to be no. 1 on iTunes. I went onto Kworb at work and saw Bowie at no. 2 and thought "what?". Then it was no. 1 in the next update. Completely unexpected, as others have said, but I've not been watching the news all day to know. I also agree if 'Where Are We Now' was to sell 100k this week (to 'S&S' 60k for arguments sake) with most of its sales generated today/tomorrow then the track should be allowed to chart. Even if it means dropping 01-25 or something ridiculous. It's this weeks biggest selling individual track.

 

I thought it was bad enough when 'Paradise' couldn't chart in the UK but was riding high in all European singles chart. If enough people buy a track, that should be recognised. Sadly this ain't anything new - 'Purple Pills' by D12 feat. Eminem was denied no. 1 because one of the CD singles included a free sticker. That's just how the UK charts go. :(

A STICKER?! :mellow:

Yeah. Another one was You Don't Know by Eminem/50 Cent, it was ineligible to chart for a while also because it came with a free sticker I think. Thankfully that's not going to happen to My Life! :lol:

Is there any Elvis Presley song's getting released or in the iTunes chart now? it's his birthday today as well.

Thankfully that's not going to happen to My Life! :lol:

 

What a shame, 'My Life' is TERRIBLE :(

So glad Bowie is at #1. That new song is really good. The second half is GORGEOUS.

THIS!

One Direction - Kiss You :arrowup: #11

 

This will probably get into the top 10 tonight.

Thank god. #12 is a CRIMINAL peak for their second best single.

I agree, I really hope this is massive. It's the only one I can properly get behind, although I really liked 'One Thing' and '... Beautiful' too.
