Another boring week of Justin Bieber being #1 begins.

Hoping Zara can go top 40 this week!

She should, seeing as her streams are quite high. I expect a big climb from her on Spotify tomorrow

Another boring week of Justin Bieber being #1 begins.

I think Shawn will be number 1 and Zara top 5! :w00t:

I'm predicting around #30-35ish this week officially for Zara I think, I can't see it going top 30 on iTunes at this stage and while streaming will pull it up slightly it won't do anything incredible. It should be top 5 in a few weeks time though once airplay begins!

 

I'd love to be wrong and Zara storms into the top 5 straight away, but with zero airplay it's not going to happen I don't think.

Sooo which Adele song are we rooting for to uproote all pop douches? :$

Hopefully Shawn will snatch his first EVER #1 this week :jameela:

Stooche still trying to stay relevant? :lol: :lol: and the song is dull at best.

 

Zara to claim her prize this week, please :P

 

Shawn hopefully #1.

4. Adele - All I Ask

I know 'When We Were Young' was all but confirmed as the next single but if 'All I Ask' keeps this up, I could see them switching to it easily. #16 on the US iTunes (although 'WWWY' is #11 too). I was worried about the lack of single material on the album, but clearly that's not an issue!

Water Under The Bridge surely needs to be a single too so they've definitely got a few great choices now!

I can't remember how All I Ask goes so I'll have to give it a listen again. River Lea, Send My Love, WWWY and WUTB have to be singles though!!

Slay me queens Stooshe with their first single since should've been massive #1 Slip :wub: Loving Lovk Down and interested to see how high it can get, even if it will probably do nothing :kink:

Also hoping for Zara to do great and Shawn for #1 :heart:

Yes, it so should have been. It was the only song of theirs I actually properly liked (but it was one of 2013's best for me).

 

I'm hoping Zara can debut top 10, but I don't imagine this will be its peak week. I would love to see that become an eventual #1!

Water Under The Bridge surely needs to be a single too so they've definitely got a few great choices now!

Yeah, that was the one song that screamed single to me. I mean, the album is full of really great songs but you just know if something sounds like a single or just a great album track.

242 The 1975 - The Sound

465 Zara Larsson - Lush Life [also #965]

 

I think 'Lush Life' can nab a chart play in its first week, not that it matters as it's surely heading for the Top 5 in the near future~

 

EDIT:

The 1975 117

Zara Larsson 431

I hope they release "Send My Love (To Your New Lover)" out as the third single in summer - can see that doing really well. Then "Water Under The Bridge" as the 4th single - can see that being huge.

 

Fingers crossed "All I Ask" manages to stay stable and enter the top 40 in next week's chart.

 

Ellie Goulding - Army to #15.

 

Adele - When We Were Young to #28.

Adele - Someone Like You to #49.

Adele - Rolling In The Deep to #52.

Adele - Water Under The Bridge to #87.

 

Nina Nesbit - Chewing Gum #162.

 

 

Yeah, that was the one song that screamed single to me. I mean, the album is full of really great songs but you just know if something sounds like a single or just a great album track.

 

Me too!!

 

Riddle me this, Psychic7: which will be Adele's next single?

Nina Nesbit - Chewing Gum #162.

 

I'm actually surprised this is doing anything at all.

 

I really think Adele needs 'Send My Love' as the third single, it's a stormer of a track and she'll need something to break up the ballad overload.

 

My perfect run would honestly go:

 

1. Hello

2. When We Were Young (with a Brits performance)

3. Send My Love (something more upbeat for the summer)

4. All I Ask (a big ballad to finish the campaign, and this would lend itself to an X-Factor performance really well too)

 

*edit - though if 'All I Ask' now accumulates an impressive total in tandem with 'When We Were Young' without being a single, I suppose we could alter the 4th single.
