Leona is increasing the gap and increasing largely on iTunes again. I'm rather surprised it's still increasing into Thursday! It's probably too late for her to overtake Lily officially but it looks like she'll get that a very solid and respectable top 3.

I don't think she will overtake Lily she is less than 10% in front and Lily has a 2nd version just outside the top 100 had a few % but she is well over 20% in front of Ellie so top 3 looks assured plus with Daybreak, This Morning, Jonathan Ross and probably an x factor play doing well

I really hope Leona can make the top 3 officially. Considering last year, she was failing to even make the top 5 with her lead single, I think this era has been successful for Leona. She's received top support from Heart and Radio 2, her album is looking to sell well this week despite a relatively low chart position and the critical reception to 'One More Sleep' and the album has been overwhelming.

Really glad to see Leona increased again! I was expecting to see her fall to #4-#5, not increase her lead! So happy that everything has gone so well for her this time round. :wub:

Combined iTunes

40 - 0.1445 Storm Queen - Look Right Through (MK Remix)

Oh dear. :lol: Potentially looking at 6 weeks inside the top 40 - might even challenge Bingo Players as the biggest non-entity of a number 1 this year (excluding PJ & Duncan).

Gonna be close this week, cant wait to see the effect for Leona that TM & Wossy has.

 

Although sales will be terribly low - maybe 45k max!

Leona currently getting a play on radio 1 :)

She's not singing OMS on Wossy, sadly. But hopefully it'll help with the album sales.

iT COULD STILL HAVE AN EFFECT ON oms THOUGH BUT YEA THE ALBUM WILL BENEFIT NEXT WEEK!

So y'know lol at everyone who underestimated "One More Sleep". It'll be a Christmas staple for years to come.

I think One More Sleep is UK's answer to Mariah's 'All I Want...' so hopefully it will show up year after year in the UK top 40, it's an amazing Xmas song And is already been airplayed in many other countries..Xmas classic in the making...

BIG increase for Leona again! I was wrong. Avicii has stopped increasing, too for now. It would be nice to see Leona go back up to 90%.

It doesnt necessarily mean itll become an xmas staple for example Britney Spears followed Mariah with her song My only wish this year but it is nowhere near a staple in the uk although i do hear it now and again!

Leona's been increasing rather nicely today! Her play on BBC Radio 1 most likely helped with her recent update. :D

Yeah, I don't think it's a foregone conclustion that just because One More Sleep will get to No. 3 this year, it will become a Christmas classic and get played for years to come. We'll just have to see to what extent radio pick it up in the run up to next Christmas.

This.

 

One More Sleep is easily for me the 2nd best Xmas song with All I Want For Christmas firmly at #1.

 

Really hope it continues to be supported year on year - its the most catchy Xmas song for about a decade.

Jeezo ... could this get above 90% and possibly (dares to dream) the #1 spot? :o

I think it could get to #1 on iTunes breifly tomorrow after she performs it on This Morning. :)

What is the most modern Christmas song you could regard as a classic though?

 

I'm sure many won't agree with this but I reckon The Darkness - Don't Let The Bells End is up there.

I'd agree with that.
