Wow 92% lead :lol: biggest lead since the 2009 xmas no1 battle? Its how long it can hold up that matters though!

 

Clean Bandit & Olly close to Gareth whos sales could be down to 50K this week?? Just a guess though...

BBC News is promoing it every hour today

Wow, incredible lead. Can't wait to see the midweeks tomorrow.

OLLY and Real Love will do at least 85K each! 500K for BA30.

OMG that gap, can't see any pop bars pass #54 :lol:

With this lead it's on course to sell 1.3M for this week :| so EVEN it is going to go DOWN by much.. 400-500K should be easy?

I was just looking at how close Gareth was to them but i suppose 1) Wake Me Up could sell decently again this week & 2) the Pop up bars could be close because of BA30!

 

Here are the weekly tallies for Band Aid 20 in 2004 - can this version keep it up for 4 weeks without physicals (obv closer to xmas it will get a boost again)

 

11-Dec Do They Know It's Christmas? Band Aid 20 292,594

18-Dec Do They Know It's Christmas? Band Aid 20 287,849

25-Dec Do They Know It's Christmas? Band Aid 20 231,492

01-Jan Do They Know It's Christmas? Band Aid 20 231,929

Such a shame they didn't wait and have track released with the physicals. We could have broken a record if they were released the same week, you never know.

#100 is down to .0015! Crazy sales for Band Aid.

I am going to be over the moon if Olly "only" reaches #3 :cheer:

 

Me too! I'm glad I've been proved wrong as I thought he'd benefit from The X Factor effect but the songs very generic and got old really quickly for me

 

Really hope we get that top 2 of 100k sellers by Sunday but I'm gutted Clean Bandit would have been number one this week :(

 

Surprised Gareth Malone's holding up this well though I expect he may still have a big drop next week hopefully no lower than 6/7

WOAH *-* That's even bigger lead than James Arthur had. I think that's the biggest lead I've ever seen on Kworb for any country!

+ Take in mind that the song at number 2 and 3 are REALLY strong and new releases... It's much more impressive.

Weighted without Band Aid 30:

 

Clean Bandit & Jess Glynne - Real Love 100%

Olly Murs - Wrapped Up (feat. Travie McCoy) 94.6%

Gareth Malone's All Star Choir - Wake Me Up (Official B... 81.4%

 

 

Is this the biggest gap in iTunes history? or did Elton John's Candle In The Wind have a bigger gap? Band Aid 30 must be outselling the rest of the top 40 combined!

The iTunes Store didn't open until 2003 so Candle In The Wind wasn't ever in contention for biggest gap :lol: And even then a lot of songs weren't released on download because physical singles were still obviously dominant and downloads didn't even count towards the chart.

 

 

It's the biggest I can recall seeing but I'm only a casual observer of itunes and charts nowadays.

iTunes didn't exist in 1997 you silly moo! ;)

 

Cassette tapes were still on the shelves of WHSmith in 1997, there is some perspective for you

Forgive me but I don't know the full history of iTunes hence why I asked the question.

iTunes started around 2003/2004 so pretty much what Liam said. I would love to have seen what the live popbars would've been like if they existed back in the 90's though :lol:

I'm just playing with you. I'm not shouting at you. Ipods/phones didn't exist in the 90s so there was no need for an Itunes. All Apple had was a funky looking desktop computer barely anyone bought.

I'm pretty sure James Arthur's lead topped out at pushing #2 down to ~0.09/0.10 so this is the biggest lead a song has ever had. It's against a big new release at #2 as well which makes it even more impressive.

 

It won't be #1 continuously from now to Christmas but I think it could still be in contention for the Christmas #1, it's bound to get a massive boost on Christmas week I think. If the XF winner is another unpopular one it could still happen. Won't hold my breath though, just hoping for big sales overall.
