“Happy” was doing similar numbers to “Love Yourself” and Sam Bailey's trajectory on Kworb at this point was: http://kworb.net/popuk/archive/20131217.html

in fact this time we're considering streaming, there's no doubt that on downloads louisa will stay ahead

shocking that Louisa is red already, it would really be embarrassing for The X Factor if this becomes the first winners single to miss #1.

Looks like Louisa could get the lowest sales of any X-factor winner then. Although her sales are likely to remain stable next week with the CD being available Wednesday I can see it selling well over the weekend. Not enough to make up its streaming disavantage though.

I'm quite sure Louisa will miss #1 at this stage now, especially with the Radio 1 playlist now frozen til Boxing Day meaning there's no chance of a bump up to the b-list on Wednesday. I just hope it can have decent longevity. And let's think positive - if Reggie n Bollie won, would they even be top 20? :lol:

Oh yes please let X Factor miss #1 entirely :lol: I'd be happy enough if Bieber snatched back Xmas #1 next week but even happier if he does it this week too!

I put a shamefully large amount of money on Bieber at 9/1 yesterday. Come on Justin, make me rich! *.*

I actually have a feeling that Louisa stands a better chance next week than this week? Could be totally wrong but with a full 7 days and a physical in shops, it could help. Plus her streaming will hopefully have built up by then. Not expecting it but it's not impossible.

Seems like a legendary Xmas chart that DB now with Lily Allen, Pharrell, Leona and AC/DC!

Surely she has plenty of promo this week on morning shows etc?

Probably RontBet given those odds. :P

She has zero chance of #1 next week if she misses it this, the publicity alone of 'X factor winners single missing #1' will ensure this song vanishes without a trace pretty quickly.

 

This has Little Mix not even including the song on their album and basically ignoring its existence written all over it.

Stormzy could go up to #3 soon.

It's a shame for Louisa really, the media will have a field day if she misses #1. She could have had a HUGE smash if an original, great pop song in the vein of Christina's Fighter (to use just one example, as she smashed that at the weekend) had been her debut.

Probably RontBet given those odds. :P

 

The shade of it all.

 

(Bet365)

poor Louisa's career may be over before it even starts, as I imagine the negative publicity of her missing #1 will be damaging (like it was for Joe McElderry but at least he made #1 in the end..)

Louisa will be ok as she's young, female and if she gets decent chart fodder material she can do fine next yr!

I tried to bet a large amount and my bet was rejected and they've taken the Christmas number one off now on the site I used haha

it seems surreal to have 12-13 k first day sales for a winner song

dark red now... Tragic!!! LOL
