'The Monster' beating 1D to #1 officially would be a huge :D moment, yay for UK music tastes!

Surely Eminanna will start to fall today??

 

Tinie doing better than i thought he would, its a terrible single but il still buy the album. Is it next week by the way?

OneD's video drops today, plus they have a day ahead of Eminem in sales, on 30k already, unless Eminem makes up a lot of ground work. The most likely scenario OneD getting the #1 on Sunday and Eminem & Rihanna #1 next week with his album boost. In honesty I would prefer Eminem and Rihanna at #1 on Sunday.

The Monster is working up that lead!!!

 

Go go go

The video will surely gain One Direction some sales, it will end up a close battle but i still think One Direction will do it this week.

At least there's a chance now that 1D might not get number 1. It was looking like a runaway earlier in the week

Everyone seems to be ignoring the fact that Lorde is almost back to #2 combined. Still don't think it's impossible for "Royals" to do a "Price Tag".

I would rather Storm Queen be #1 instead :(

Really hope Eminem can cause an upset and get to #1. Gaining a nice lead, just depends when it starts its inevitable decline.

 

07. Lady Gaga - Do What U Want (feat. R. Kelly)

08. The Wanted - Show Me Love (America)

 

If DWUW can manage to hang around for a couple more weeks in the top 10 it could still chart very well on its first eligible week. Album out in 2 weeks.

Eminem - 1.0000

One Direction - 0.6013

I think it will chart well, especially as airplay will have picked up by then too. I wouldn't be surprised if it outsells 'Applause' in the long run.

It better do, considering it's about 100 times better.

Yeah I know but that's not always how it works! I'm sure it will though.

Lead still increasing, id say more people would see eminem/rihanna as no1 on itunes & automatically dload it compared to 1D!

I think she's going to need to overtake them today and get pretty far ahead by the end of the week to cancel out the lead they built up (a little over 10k by Tuesday mids and that'll be higher today, so she'll need to close >10k in 4 days - which isn't IMPOSSIBLE (see OneRepublic/The Vamps) but might still be difficult).

 

Yay at The Wanted dropping. Should definitely miss the top 5 now as Eminem and OneRepublic will overtake from the mids and possibly Tinie as well.

I know. :P I suppose I should've added the almost universal rapturous reception will hopefully work in its favour too.

40% advantage now for The Monster.

 

Lets say yesterday the 2 songs sold the same.

 

TM needs to cut 29K in 4 days.

 

If 1D sells 18K a day.... TM is selling 30K a day.

 

If 1D is selling 12K a day TM is selling 20K a day.

 

So 8K difference × 4 days = 32K

 

I think it can happen

10. Survival - Eminem

15. Berzerk - Eminem

19. Rap God - Eminem

:drama: Looks like these could all potentially re-enter in the top 20 next week then...

Are these the single versions returning? I don't understand the massive boost for them.

They're from the album preorder!
