I wouldn't say that's completely true. I've heard it a lot on Kiss already and they are NOT usually ones to pick up a new song that quickly!

 

Yeah same here plus Eminem has been in Dark green pretty much all day, where as 1D has been dark red most of the day!

119. Imagine Dragons - On Top of the World

183. Rudimental - Free (feat. Emeli Sandé)

489. Naughty Boy - Think About It (feat. Wiz Khalifa & Ella Eyre) Download

490. Justin Timberlake - TKO

 

Can these start climbing a bit faster please?

 

Agree (at least with the last three)! Justin Timberlake will probably do fine in the end, but I'm not so sure about Rudimental and Naughty Boy. I'd be happy with top 40.

 

I thought Imagine Dragons's next single would've been Demons, since that's what they're using in some other countries.

How do iTunes calculate which song is #1 and so on? do they have an automatic software that calculates sales or is there a technician or someone like that who helps to tally up sales?

I'm sure it's part of their software. I don't think a human would physically be able to keep up with all the downloads (plus, they'd make more mistakes). Also, iTunes wouldn't want to pay people to do that when they could have a program written to do it quite easily for free.

Good Point.

 

I wish i could see internally how everything operates, it would be amazing.

Eminem needs to release 'Headlights' as soon as 'The monster' dies down. No words to describe just how incredible it is. Can't believe the lead he has now.

What are you lot on about when you say Lorde is #2 combined? One Direction are 56.71% combined and Lorde is 56.05%

 

That would be me not actually checking with a calculator (Lorde was over 99% of 1D at the time in my defence). She is now ahead for reals (Lorde 0.5210, 1D 0.5058).

Hopefully Rudimental manage higher than Naughty Boy. 'Think About It' is probably the most marketable song left on the album, but it's such a poor song. :(

With 1D's video not dropping till after this charting week and the lead Monster has now I cant see how Monster wont snag #1 from them, It is huge right now.

Without wishing to tempt fate, it looks like it is pretty much over now for One Direction. Eminem & Rihanna are outselling them 2:1 now on iTunes.

I WANT TO BELIEVE. But I think 1D are probably still quite safe at #1. 'The Monster' was only #9 on today's mids.

DAMN! I wonder if it is because of Rihanna I personally couldnt see if this was just an Eminem track it would be this huge and still growing....That Rihanna reign just wont let up!

Eminem's fnabase is just as strong as Rihanna's, especially lately. So with the hype of them both being on the same track (for the second time) and the fact it is actually so good, it was always going to be a winner.

 

OOI, has LTWYL passed one million sales? I can't remember whether it did or not.

I would love for Rihanna to have another #1 single to her discography. She hasn't had one yet this year and 'The Monster' is very good. Will also be nice to see Eminem get another after 'LTWYL' should have got there.

I think Eminem's fanbase is a lot bigger than Rihanna's. But yes, the combination of the 2 was always going to be huge especially as it's essentially a follow-up to 'Love The Way You Lie' (albeit one with no connection aside from the artists involved but you know what I mean :P)

 

It's crazy how long it's been since Eminem last had a #1. 'The Monster' is not one of his best songs but I really hope it can be #1 just to end his dry spell (also to keep up Rihanna's streak of getting to #1 each year of course :kink:) ((the song is also growing on me a lot already))

Hopefully we get another update tomorrow in some form, I should think OneD would still be #1 tomorrow though, and it could change on Fridays update

James Blake chart domination now plz

If The Wanted are 13K behind so Eminem is about 20-25K behind? Too big :(

They are 4 and Em is 9...

Don't know, if only he would release at the same day with them.
