Nick Jonas and Ariana are 59p. Big climbs for those this week then. It's just what Nick needed.

May be a close race, Drake should manage huge sales again, possibly a highest weekly sale yet with the album release? (especially if they put the album on Spotify very soon, i don't expect that to happen right away though). But then the UK will surely be salivating at the mouth for a new track by two of their big favourites Calvin & Rihanna, so they could easily grab the #1 as well, hmm.

 

Is Calvin and Rihanna not out yet? Or is it being released later in the day?

I've a feeling they'll release the new Calvin track after its radio premier tomorrow as I think this happened with Adele when she released Hello.

 

Anyway, cannot wait to hear it I have high expectations for this!

This is how I feel about Calvin. Even though Drake will have a huge week, I can't think of many artists (or combination of 2 artists in this case) other than Adele who would potentially get such huge hype, which is why I think they'll take the #1, they obviously won't beat Drake's streams but could easily push his numbers down hugely on iTunes and they'll do very well on streaming regardless.

Amy Grant's new version of Baby Baby with Tori Kelly plz (lol as if)

Later in the day. The track is going to be premiered at 6am EST in different radio stations across the US, so it's expected to be available to purchase/stream after that.

 

And I guess it's not necessary to say that I'm rooting for Calvin and Rihanna! :dance:
