That's unlikely I think considering the album already has lots of pre-orders (unlike most first instant grats that are put up with the pre-order so have no pre-orders to enter high in the chart from) so will probably enter iTunes at least in the top 3. So top 40 would be just about guaranteed immediately I think.

Yeah there's absolutely no way 1D's first instant grat isn't going top 40. I'm sure it'll debut at least as high as 5SOS' 'Good Girls' if not higher.

Thinking Out Loud is a nice song but I'm really surprised it's doing SO well. It doesn't really have much of a melody, and his voice is almost out of tune in some parts (eg. "so honey noooooow").

 

But I'm glad its doing well, I do like it.

The most pointless song of the year without any doubt...

Pixie's dancing to Stay With Me on Saturday night, just when it was slowly dying.. :lol:

Thinking Out Loud will be number 1, it just sounds like a winter type song that will stick around the top 20 til next March!

 

Saying that, I'm not a fan of the song (Sing and You Need Me so much better)

Not that anyone cares but Gaga and Tony Bennett are performing on Strictly sunday night, I really hope they do a medley of 'Nature Boy' and the Parov Stellar Remix of 'I Can't Give You Anything But Love' and the song they perform goes top 100 on iTunes, the album should return to the top 40 at least by next Sunday's chart! :w00t:

Love a slow burner like Thinking Out Loud - I love it personally and would love it to be no1.

 

Just heard the premiere of the new Foo Fighters track on Zane Lowe - quite different, not as heavy but Brillant - wonder if it'll be a pre order or out tonight?!

 

Hudson Taylor's new track at 290 on pre orders and out aSunday - hope it goes top 40!!

'Thinking Out Loud' is dreadful. :puke2: I really hope it doesn't get to #1. Unfortunately, it's going to be a massive hit wherever it peaks.

 

Does anyone know how BO$$ Fifth hHarmony is doing on pre-orders... Not looking good for sunday

Not all that well I imagine. Shame really as I much prefer this one to the lacklustre Miss Moving On.

It appears to have been removed from iTunes at some point.

After two brilliant songs in Sing and Don't. Thinking Out Loud is so :/

Very effective instant grat usage from Foo Fighters, what with the album having been on pre-order for several weeks without an instant grat until now. (Up to #5).

Thinking Out Loud is a flawless masterpiece.

All I can say is thank heavens for Meghan Trainor...
