Posted April 2, 201411 yr Good Evening all, With the success in waiting of songs such as Nobody To Love and Hideaway what are your suggestions for the most obvious UK #1 singles or songs that were in contention for number 1? these could be songs that did very well on pre order or songs that were "everywhere you go" or even songs that symbolise a certain period of your lives. Discuss........ (and make this the most talked about topic on Buzzjack :ph34r:)
April 2, 201411 yr 5 Seconds of Summer. Anyone who couldn't see that one coming should be banned quite frankly.. :P
April 2, 201411 yr Author 5 Seconds of Summer. Anyone who couldn't see that one coming should be banned quite frankly.. :P Nice one! :lol:
April 2, 201411 yr Avicii - Wake Me Up Clean Bandit - Rather Be Duke Dumont - I Got You Route 94 - My Love Calvin Harris - Under Control
April 2, 201411 yr I was gonna do all the ones from 2000 onwards when I started following the chart but then realised there'd be too many. :lol: I'll do from 2010 onwards, these are the ones I saw as obvious #1s prior to release. Iyaz - Replay Diana Vickers - Once B.O.B/Bruno Mars - Nothin' On You Katy Perry - California Gurls Bruno Mars - Just The Way You Are Cheryl Cole - Promise This Matt Cardle - When We Collide Bruno Mars - Grenade Ke$ha - We R Who We R Example - Changed The Way You Kiss Me The Wanted - Glad You Came Cher Lloyd - Swagger Jagger Olly Murs - Heart Skips A Beat Pixie Lott - All About Tonight One Direction - What Makes You Beautiful Rihanna - We Found Love X Factor Finalists 2011 Little Mix - Cannonball DJ Fresh - Hot Right Now Carly Rae Jepsen - Call Me Maybe Tulisa - Young Cheryl Cole - Call My Name Rita Ora - How We Do (Party) Little Mix - Wings Olly Murs - Troublemaker James Arthur - Impossible I'm not doing 2013 onwards because with pre-orders it became a lot easier to predict 'obvious' #1s. An interesting topic could be singles you were certain would be #1 but in the end didn't. For me One Direction's 'Live While We're Young' and Lady Gaga's 'Born This Way' fall into that category (although I know the latter sold more than enough over a 7 day period to do so).
April 2, 201411 yr I'm not doing 2013 onwards because with pre-orders it became a lot easier to predict 'obvious' #1s. This applies to a large chunk of the ones you posted already. :P
April 2, 201411 yr definitely agreed re: Wake Me Up, sounded like a big #1 from pretty much the moment i heard it these also seemed like obvious #1s to me as well: Macklemore & Ryan Lewis ft. Wanz - Thrift Shop Robin Thicke ft. T.I. & Pharrell - Blurred Lines Katy Perry - Roar Miley Cyrus - Wrecking Ball Pitbull ft. Ke$ha - Timber will.i.am ft. Eva Simons - This is Love Swedish House Mafia - Don't You Worry Child Sam & The Womp - Bom Bom Ne-Yo - Let Me Love You DJ Fresh ft. Sian Evans - Louder Jason Derulo - Don't Wanna Go Home JLS ft. Dev - She Makes Me Wanna Taio Cruz - Dynamite Tinie Tempah ft. Eric Turner - Written In the Stars (+ pretty much everything silver rocket mentioned)
April 2, 201411 yr Another couple from me: David Guetta & Kelly Rowland - When Love Takes Over David Guetta Feat. Akon - Sexy Chick Calvin Harris - I'm Not Alone Black Eyed Peas - I Gotta Feeling Fragma - Toca's Miracle Robbie Williams - Rock DJ Edited April 2, 201411 yr by gavindeejay
April 2, 201411 yr This applies to a large chunk of the ones you posted already. :P I mean since they started appearing in the main chart and we all monitored them more closely.
April 2, 201411 yr I don't think 'Troublemaker' was an obvious #1. Most people on here were predicting 'Something New' to get there instead. :P
April 3, 201411 yr I have to rely on Buzzjack/iTunes preorder levels these days, as I cannot judge the merits of new singles myself - or rather, I cannot tell which will appeal to the main singles-buying demographic (or indeed *why*). :unsure:

April 3, 201411 yr I've no idea what makes a number one single these days. There are no obvious ones for me.
April 3, 201411 yr Girls Aloud - The Promise The Saturdays - What About Us Lady GaGa - Bad Romance Lady GaGa f/Beyonce - Telephone Maroon 5 - Payphone
April 3, 201411 yr Here are some oldies from me! I was sure these would all be No.1, and they were: Kylie Minogue - Can't Get You Outta My Head Liberty X - Just A Little Usher - Yeah Eternal - I Wanna Be The Only One Sugababes - Hole In The Head Sugababes - Push The Button Holly Valance - Kiss Kiss
April 3, 201411 yr I don't think 'Troublemaker' was an obvious #1. Most people on here were predicting 'Something New' to get there instead. :P At the time I was praying they'd do it, but knew deep down they wouldn't. :cry:
April 3, 201411 yr Shakira - Whenever, Wherever (wait...oops stepped out the same week as the biggest seller of the century)
