I hope that Gary can do it woop woop!!!

11. Justin Bieber Feat R Kelly - PYD

12. Miley Cyrus - Wrecking Ball (A third consecutive week at #12 then?) & #78

14. Jls - Billion Lights (Could this miss the top #20? It's been dark red within the past 15 hours. It should be at least #16 by 2pm)

48. Britney Spears - Work Bitch

54. Miley Cyrus - We Can't Stop & #145

76. Katy Perry - Unconditionally

80. Jason Derulo - Trumpets

 

104. The Luminities - Do Something [Oops at this missing the top 40 all together]

122. Rihanna - What Now

139. Olly Murs - Hand On Heart

165. Lilly Allen - Somewhere Only We Know [Now That's What I Call Music]

193. Avicii - Wake Me Up [Now That's What I Call Music ]

194. One Republic - Counting Stars [Now That's What I Call Music]

 

01. Lilly Allen - Somewhere Only We Know 100%

02. Gary Barlow - Let Me Go 96.4%

 

I think Lilly has number #01 in the bag this week as Gary will start dropping come tomorrow and I doubt he will be able to have a large enough lead.

I do not want to live in a world where Gary Barlow is #01.

C'mon Gary!!! :cheer:

I do not want to live in a world where Gary Barlow is #01.

 

That's all right, he won't be Number One in the world, only the UK.

 

If you don't want to live in a country where Gary Barlow is number one, there's a couple of hundred other ones for you to go to. Get your passport ready.

 

To be honest Gary Barlow's single is probably the last of the strongest singles before the X Factor winners single/other Xmas releases looking at the release schedule, unless something else just sneaks out, or climbs to #1, and with his album release next week he could get another week or two. :( I really don't know what else could go to #1 apart from Lily Allen at some point. X Factor Winners single is released on the 16 Dec. Its only 4 weeks away.

You would have lived through it twice in the 90s :P

Are JLS really missing the top 10 with their final single? :o

 

2009 - Two big #1 singles, million selling album

2010 - Two decent sized #1 singles, double platinum album

2011 - Big #1 single, #2 that plummeted, platinum album

2012 - Sports Relief single that went to #6 and plumetted, lead single goes to #6 and plummets, platinum album

2013 - Missing the top 10 completely with their final goodbye single. Will their Greatest Hits go platinum?

 

It's interesting how they've gradually performed worse with every passing year. I wonder if One Direction and The Wanted's arrivals (2010 and 2011) were a factor in their downfalll?

'Evolution' - Gold!

"Unconditionally" is a big flop so far, wonder if it can go top 40 at all.

'Evolution' - Gold!

 

Really? :o Oh I thought all their albums went platinum.

Really? :o Oh I thought all their albums went platinum.

 

It only sold around 140,000+, so it was quite far from Platinum! Quite a comedown from their debut album, which sold 1,400,000+.

You would have lived through it twice in the 90s :P

 

And once last year, with the ever memorable Sing!

"Unconditionally" is a big flop so far, wonder if it can go top 40 at all.

 

It doesn't have a video yet and it's not out officially for a month, I'm sure it'll still do spectacularly well.

16. PYD (feat. R. Kelly) - Justin Bieber, Dominic Jordan, R. Kelly, James Giannos, Sasha Sirota, Jason Boyd, Robert Kelly & Jamal Rashid

 

Seems to be doing better than the last few releases so far, probably because of the feature. Quite a smart move from him. The UK release seems to have accidentally credited all the songwriters as artists though (including R. Kelly being credited 3 times) :lol:

 

R. Kelly coming for a second top 40 (possibly a second top 20) hit in 2 weeks after six years since his last top 40 hit ('Same Girl' with Usher, #26 in 2007).

 

I've always thought it'd be interesting if songwriters, producers, etc. got officially credited on songs like this. People like Sia and Dr. Luke would probably be the best-selling artists of the decade so far if they did this. :lol:

That's generally the case for X Factor artists tbh. Olly Murs is the only one I can think of that stayed consistent (or even increased in success), at least in terms of singles.

 

I think their non-#1s (e.g. One Shot, Eyes Wide Shut) actually sold a similar amount to their #1s. Their first song to not sell 200,000 was Take a Chance on Me in 2011 I think, and they never managed to sell over that since.

I thought it was played on radio already.. If not then nothing to worry about I guess
