I'm team Ella but I wouldn't be overly offended if Gecko takes it which I expect it will.

He needs to release 'Brand New'! Him and Justin work so well together! :( Also "Bae" just needs to FOAD.

 

I want Gust of Wind as the next single. They play it on the radio sometimes already, and it could be an amazing summer song.

 

Pharrell and Justin have a song out with Timbaland soon I think. I can't wait for it. :D

Ghost seems to have a healthy lead over Gecko. Anything could happen on Sunday but I'm still hopeful that Oliver gets the #1.

5 Seconds to Summer are doing the instant grat scenario this week,like last week, the ITunes number 1 will be changing all week. I assume there is more money to be made doing this route as for those who download the songs and pay and then buy the phyisical are in a sense paying twice for a song. Is is starting to appear this is what a lot of artists will be doing.

These instant grats make looking at the iTunes chart a real chore. I wish they could just... not show them on the feed, like they didn't used to with pre-orders.

That's not how it works though, the people who have pre-ordered the album are getting a song each day with their pre-order automatically and it's reflecting in this chart. Nobody pays any extra for it.

If Ella makes it a third week at #1 with 'Ghost', I'm assuming that makes her only the second artist from XF to have at least 3 weeks at #1 with a single (excluding winner's singles obviously).

a lil pre-orders update~

 

230. X Ambassadors & Jamie N Commons - Jungle (Remix) [feat. JAY Z]

482. Melissa Steel - Kisses For Breakfast (feat. Popcaan)

1216. Rizzle Kicks - Tell Her

 

the original version of Jungle also still up for pre-order, at #510! would be great to see this become a genuine hit.

 

I see One Day (Vandaag) still slaying at #493 as well, shame it probably won't do that much now due to lack of radio support D:

 

40. Stolen Dance - Milky Chance

 

Top 40 officially please, before streaming!

If Ella makes it a third week at #1 with 'Ghost', I'm assuming that makes her only the second artist from XF to have at least 3 weeks at #1 with a single (excluding winner's singles obviously).

 

The X Factor chart thread is due another update I guess, will do one after the end of this week :magic: But yes, winner's singles aside the only previous 3+ week X Factor #1 was 'Bleeding Love'.

 

Oliver Heldens' EP is still holding up in the top 20 of the album chart and he has another version top 200 as well so I'd say it's still pretty level between him and Ella. Think it's starting to get a bit too late in the week for Ella to challenge, she barely made a dent in Oliver's lead yesterday and I doubt she will today either, so he'll still be a good >10k ahead with only 3 days to go. It should be close but I am beginning to think Oliver has this.

 

(Ella is back at #1 BTW)

Another pre-order:

 

385. Melissa Steel - Kisses For Breakfast (feat. Popcaan)

 

Heard that earlier today, not looking to do too badly it seems :o

Rizzle Kicks have a new song out?!

 

Neon Jungle and Nicole both doing pretty well given their lack of airplay.

02. Gecko (Overdrive) [Radio Edit] - Oliver Heldens & Becky Hill

03. Everything I Didn't Say - 5 Seconds of Summer

Hopefully 'Home' can go top 1500 again now the music video has been released!

644. Mapei - Don't Wait [pre-order]

 

didn't notice this doing well! could maybe make the top 100 next week

 

Hopefully 'Home' can go top 1500 again now the music video has been released!

 

At least she's charting on the Pop Chart: 678. Leah McFall - Home (feat. will.i.am) :kink:

Expect a new 5SOS instant grat in the top 10 soon (if it's not there already). It's the last one for this week so it won't get as congested as it did with Ed last week.
