I'm surprised that cherry-picks are having such a strong effect - you'd think fans would be going straight for the album instead?

I think there must be some kind of error with Don't Forget Where You Belong and You & I, not a clue why they're so high! Strong, Midnight Memories and Diana were the instant grat tracks so I'm not shocked they're still fairly high up, and of course, Story of My Life is the single.

Story of my life really does deserve to do well. I wasn't massively keen on them before but that song really has changed my life. Stunning song and I honestly think it would have done just as well if not better if another artist had sang it as it would have a broad appeal and people that just don't buy boy and song (because they think they are too cool) would have bought it.

I really hope this messup with the 2 1D album tracks isn't reflected in the official chart - theoretically sales from yesterday for all the instant grats shouldn't count to the chart anyway, but I'm pretty sure they counted the Sunday sales for 'Do What U Want' et al so it looks like they only enforced that with Eminem (slightly hypocritical but okay). It looks to me like the two 1D songs were accidentally added as instant grats shortly before the album was released, kinda makes sense considering they're the only 2 songs in the first 7 tracks on the album that hadn't been released yet.

 

How strange that Bieber doesn't seem to have released his latest song here yet when the first 7 were all promptly released with the rest of the world! Not complaining though :P

I think we get your point now. (I disagree anyway, I think it's a terrible song even by their standards and I'm not just a blind hater of 1D, 'Little Things' is a really good song and 'One Thing' and 'Kiss You' are both decent).

McFly dropping a bit now. Should still get top 10.

 

Timberlakes 'Drink you away' is flying up the itunes chart in America? Wonder how it will do here?

Perhaps they've done both? Mind you, the success of the cherry-picking is much bigger than I would have expected.

You missed the version of Pompeii at 123 :)

Looks like an invasion of One Direction this week.

19. Roller Coaster - Justin Bieber

I wonder what caused the delay in this release?

 

Oh and there are only 2 more of these left yay. Hasn't dragged out as long as I thought it might.

 

28. Hand on Heart (Radio Mix) - Olly Murs

The other version in the top 100 has vanished, I guess the old album must have been deleted. Still looks on course for top 40 though.

 

39. Do You Hear What I Hear? (feat. Jessie J) - Mary J. Blige

I keep blissfully forgetting this exists. Mary J. sounded great on the XF performance (not even usually a fan of her) but Jessie just ruins it as per.

 

74. High Hopes - Bruce Springsteen

Instant grat from his new album of the same name. Will actually be allowed to chart this time unlike his last lead single released the same way!

Gary at number 4 and 33!

Didn't "We Take Care of Our Own" chart just outside the top 75? I thought its sales were counted.

Definitely didn't make the top 100. His only appearance in the top 100 singles this decade was a week at #87 earlier this year with 'Dancing In The Dark'.

345. One Direction - Live While We're Young (and #876)

683. One Direction - One Thing

What's the most recent time an act has had more than three songs in the Top 40?

 

I know Lady Gaga had 4 in the top 20 after she released Born This Way. And I'm sure Rihanna has done it a few times over the past few years.

 

One Direction could be one of the only acts to do so this century?

New 59p batch.

 

Maroon 5 Feat Christina Aguilera- Moves Like Jagger

Mclfy Feat Taio Cruz - Shine A Light

Bryan Adams - Summer Of 69

The Wanted - Chasing The Sun

Jay Z - 99 Problems

Lady Gaga - Just Dance

Kanye West - Black Skinhead

Drake - Best I Ever Had

Rihanna - Unfaithful

Gabrielle Aplin - The Power Of Love

Hopefully Gabrielle can at least re-enter the top 75, she already has two versions of 'The Power of Love' in the top 500! :D
