I think it is looking like Justin vs. Bastille for #1 next week :o Hoping Laura Mvula can slay all but that's not going to happen, realistically just hoping for her to go top 20. We should hopefully get 4 top 20 new entries next week, from Bastille, Laura, Wiley and Paramore.

 

1D don't seem to be decreasing anywhere near as quickly from the BRITs boost as they did after their initial release, so they probably won't drop too badly next week (maybe 1-4 or so at worst). They might even have a chance at a second week at #1 if Justin's lead is short-lived.

 

I haven't heard 'Pompeii' yet still but 'Mirrors' would be a fabulous #1.

Taylor Swift is on Graham Norton's show tonight, another boost for her single and album.

Has it been announced what Taylor is performing? Her album's just been increased to £7.99 on iTunes for the standard version of Red which is quite a stupid decision as it could have potentially re-entered the top 5 this week.

Going a bit off-topic but...

 

26. Muse - Supremacy (Live from the BRITs 2013)

34. Taylor Swift - I Knew You Were Trouble (Live from the BRITs 2013)

in Russian iTunes :o

Just a lot of stuff to do, with work and mate living with me! I still was here playing BJSC and randomly posting here and there - so it's not like I totally disappeared. :P

Looks like there's now gonna be "all eyes on Arrs"! ^_^

If Pompeii got to #1, that would be THE biggest chart upset. Ever. (it won't get there though)

 

Hard to tell who'll get next week's #1. As long as it's not One Direction, i'll be fine with any result

 

Tom Odell on JR on saturday!!

He won't be performing will he? Isn't Justin Timberlake the music guest this week?

If Laura Mvula gets Top 40 I will be extremely happy, I expect something like #55 though sadly. :(

I want One Direction to get the #1 this week, One Way Or Another is turning into one of my favourite One Direction songs now. :D

 

But yes, I want Pompeii to go to #1 next week, even though it probably won't. :(

I don't think there's any danger of her missing the top 40. She'll probably go straight into the top 40 on iTunes on release, her pre-order has done far better than for example Amelia Lily's last single which debuted around the 50s IIRC. Just not sure she'll be able to keep the momentum going from the pre-orders.

JT on Jonathan Ross should hopefully help Mirrors stay at #1! :D

Unfortunately for you (but not me), The Saturdays will be beating Icona Pop to #1 when they're released! :dance:

 

I finally heard the Icona Pop song now. I think it'll do well in the charts, it's like a cross between Ke$ha and The Veronicas.

Did anyone hear that David Bowie could be releasing another new track next week?

Isn't he releasing his new album next week as well? :unsure:

Great bunch of releases next week, truly. Hard to call where any of them'll peak, but I think Wiley and Bastille are definitely on course for T10 debuts, Paramore for T20 and Laura Mvula for T40 at least; I'm hopeful she can nab a T20 too. Will likely be buying all of them.

Gabrielle reclimbing very quickly, 61! :cheer:
