Posted May 31, 201312 yr So, the following singles are all getting released on the same week: Chase & Status feat. Louis M^ttrs - Lost And Not Found Icona Pop feat. Charli XCX – I Love It John Newman – Love Me Again Lucy Spraggan – Lighthouse The Saturdays – Gentleman Sebastian Ingrosso feat. Tommy Trash & John Martin - Reload It's going to be a massively competitive week, assuming that none of these releases are getting pushed forward or back. Where will the following songs peak and who will win this battle? :o My predictions: #01 Icona Pop #02 John Newman #04 Sebastian Ingrosso #06 The Saturdays #07 Chase & Status #24 Lucy Spraggan EDIT - Sebastian Ingrosso now releasing 8th July so no longer part of this battle. EDIT II - Icona Pop now releasing 24th June so no longer part of this battle. EDIT III - Lucy Spraggan now releasing 8th July so no longer part of this battle. EDIT IV - Chase & Status accidentally released a week earlier so no longer part of this battle Edited June 30, 201312 yr by Keng Numan
May 31, 201312 yr Oh crap, I didn't realise Chase & Status were lined up for this week as well - there goes any hope of it being a second top 5 for them. Fingers crossed it can go top 10 but with so many other likely top 10 hits in the same week even that might be a stretch... Icona will get #1, John Newman should hopefully manage #2, Sebastian Ingrosso top 5, The Saturdays top 10, not sure about Chase & Status but hopefully also top 10, Lucy Spraggan top 20 maybe.
May 31, 201312 yr I reckon John Newman will be #1. Icona Pop will have missed their oppotunity by then, the record company really are clueless if they insist on holding the release of 'I Love It' for another 4 weeks - with its use in the TV commercials, and the Soundbite for Smash Hits TV releasing sooner would be better (generate more sales). Would love for Icona Pop to get released this coming Sunday and give Union J a run for their money but alas that ain't going to happen. :lol: The Saturdays will most likely go top 5. Difficult to predict the others; I'll guess Chase & Status (top 20), Lucy Spraggan (top 20) and Sebastian Ingrosso (top 40).
May 31, 201312 yr Icona Pop's record company would be absolutely crazy not to push the release forward - with multiple fake versions doing so well it's ridiculous to leave it another month! With that in mind, I'll say: 01 Icona Pop - I Love It (before this date, but I'd equally not be surprised for them to leave it - it will get #1 regardless) 01 John Newman - Love Me Again (#2 if I Love It isn't pushed forward) 03 Sebastian Ingrosso ft. Tommy Trash & John Martin - Rewind 05 The Saturdays - Gentleman 08 Chase & Status ft. Louis M^tters - Lost and Not Found 17 Lucy Spraggan - Lighthouse (could equally be about 10 places lower)
May 31, 201312 yr I think John Newman will get the #1 and while it is a great song, I would of course love the incredible 'I Love It' to get it! Even if John gets to #1 though, I think Icona Pop will stay longer in the top 10! 'Reload' will probably complete a brand new top 3 as well! 'Gentleman' will probably only get low top 10 due to being overshadowed by all of the massive new releases and Lucy Spraggan will either go top 10 as well (if it gets Radio 1 support - I think it has a chance of doing so but we'll find out next week!) or do similar to what Tich managed on iTunes which would still be great! I haven't heard the Chase & Status song but it'll probably just get inside the top 10 based on what people are predicting.
May 31, 201312 yr #01 Icona Pop #02 John Newman #04 The Saturdays #05 Sebastian Ingrosso #08 Lucy Spraggan #11 Chase & Status #108 Fenech-Soler :(
May 31, 201312 yr Icona Pop will burn out ala Chris Malinchak if the record company represses it for another FOUR weeks. It's about time OA/OS should be made mandatory for chart eligibility. 01 John Newman – Love Me Again 02 Sebastian Ingrosso feat. Tommy Trash & John Martin - Reload 04 Icona Pop Feat. Charli XCX - I Love It [if held back for another month] 06 Chase & Status ft. Louis M^tters - Lost and Not Found 09 The Saturdays – Gentleman 11 Lucy Spraggan – Lighthouse
May 31, 201312 yr So long to wait for these great songs that are all already gaining momentum as we speak, why wait another whole 5 weeks??? At any rate John Newman for no1!
May 31, 201312 yr Going to guess John Newman, with Icona Pop being a HUGE #2 or climbing to #1 later.
May 31, 201312 yr Going to guess John Newman, with Icona Pop being a HUGE #2 or climbing to #1 later. I'm going to predict the same prediction and I don't think that Icona Pop will go to #1 unless the record company release the song earlier.
June 1, 201312 yr The Saturdays is the only one of those songs I've even *heard* yet, so I'll have to delay my vote...
June 1, 201312 yr Going to guess John Newman, with Icona Pop being a HUGE #2 or climbing to #1 later. I echo this post as well
June 1, 201312 yr Is 'Reload' really being expected to do big things? I saw it #1 on Sweden's iTunes chart last week (or maybe the week before) and gave it a listen on YouTube but it didn't sound like a monster hit in waiting. Doubt it'll be as successful as 'Don't You Worry Child' anyways.
June 1, 201312 yr I don't think it'll be MASSIVE but I think it's safe to say it'll be at least bigger than 'Calling (Lose My Mind)'. Predicting it to do similarly to 'Antidote'.
June 1, 201312 yr I reckon it'll be something like this: 1. Icona Pop / Charli XCX 2. John Newman 4. Sebastian Ingrosso / Tommy Trash / John Martin 5. The Saturdays 9. Chase & Status 18. Lucy Spraggan
June 1, 201312 yr 01. Icona Pop / Charli XCX 02. John Newman Number One if Icona Pop released earlier 06. The Saturdays 12. Sebastian Ingrosso / Tommy Trash / John Martin 15. Chase & Status 36. Lucy Spraggan I can't see Lucy Spraggan getting any support at all.
June 1, 201312 yr You forgot Iggy Azalea - Bounce is being released that week. It's not out until the week after I get the feeling at least one of these releases will be pushed forward/back (and i'm not sure it'll even be Icona Pop, although maybe if one of the fake versions eventually does a 'Precision Tunes', then their label might reconsider :kink:)
June 1, 201312 yr 08 Chase & Status / Louis M^ttrs 02 John Newman 10 Lucy Spraggan 04 The Saturdays 05 Sebastian Ingrosso / Tommy Trash / John Martin This will clearly be bought forward ala "Blurred Lines". 01 Icona Pop / Charli XCX
June 1, 201312 yr I can't see Lucy Spraggan getting much success with her new song. I'm thinking that it would chart at #23.
