Out today. Place your bets :teresa:

 

Surely must be #1, therefore at least 100k would be required.

I think for this week, it'll miss the top five officially, but might rise afterwards.

I would say #3 at least, unless the track gets a big lead and considering single sales are low, it might go the extra mile.

I think we are looking at number 1 on iTunes easily.

But I think I may get to number two first week officially, with a number one peak, kind of like a Scream and Shout week, wit only one week at number one though. Now I've seen ow its looking so far I can see it beating clean bandit next week... and then cb for number one the next.

Will start off top 5, drop and never fully recover despite radio doing its best to force it on us.

I'm guessing #3 with ~60k.

#7 this week, top 3 eventual peak.

god awful..seriously. Doesnt even deserve top 40 lol. Shame..I def was hoping it be at least bearable.

#4 this week but depends on airplay success whether it's going to be #1 or not. This is more of an "adult"sort of song and Shakira is not the #1 act in the UK pop radio, probably.

a stupid song, it might go close to Top 5 though, number 6 I reckon.

I just can't see this being a smash hit. I imagine it will have similar sales to Britney's 'Hold It Against Me' (well I expect better lifetime sales but initially the same type of chart run).

 

I say 6-8 for the first week.

I just don't see the releasing an unknown song mid-week with no pre-orders as a wise move. Some obvious smashes have missed out on number 1 because of it. Born This Way, Skyfall. If One Direction had waited a few weeks to released Story of My Life, it would have been a sure thing for number 1!

Though 2 of Rihanna's #1's were OA/OS mid week releases.

"We Found Love" definitely wasn't on air, though it was released midweek.
