May 14, 201610 yr I suspect Nathan Skyes could miss the top40. He is only low 20s on iTunes. He needs a major label
May 14, 201610 yr Author He needs a major label His label automatically gets him strong airplay on both Heart and Capital, even the biggest labels can't always get that. And let's not forget they're really good for promo, he performed on X Factor last year. The material isn't good enough, people aren't interested.
May 14, 201610 yr Actually gutted that Meghan could open with less than 15,000 considering the amount of promo and success of 'Title', I know 'No' and 'Me Too' have had nowhere near the success of 'All About That Bass' and 'Lips R Moving', I thought she had a strong enough fanbase to debut top two so I'm actually rather sad as her songs are a major improvement from her last campaign.

Does she really have a fanbase? Serious question :P
May 14, 201610 yr Author I honestly believe Meghan has some sales missing. As pleased as I'd be to see her flop, I think 2.5k is incredibly unrealistic.
May 14, 201610 yr I hope Radiohead manage to hold the #1 this week, staying ahead on iTunes is a good start.
May 14, 201610 yr It's still ahead on iTunes because it's only been on sale since Sunday so is still in its first week technically !
May 15, 201610 yr From @MintRoyale There's a proper tussle between Justin Timberlake and Calvin Harris for number 1. Although Drake is loitering with intent. Again.But Stone Roses at 4. Whodathunk? As usual- streams missing from Saturday so pinch of salt etc. I'd say JT could get #2 from Calvin if his sales hold up.
May 15, 201610 yr Would be great for JT to get to no1 although Drakes streaming is still strong so think he will take it again. Either way it's a strong top 3 for me. Unless something comes along out of the blue I can see the top 3 remaining as it is for another 2-3 weeks.

Unless something comes along out of the blue I can see the top 3 remaining as it is for another 2-3 weeks. Unfortunately Drake is selling 5k more in steams a day than Justin and 2.5k more than Calvin. Downloads are so poor at the moment I don't think it will be enough to keep him off #1 this week.
May 15, 201610 yr From the midweeks last week when effectively only daily streaming data was included (Apple failed to report on Wednesday AND Thursday last week), JT was doing around 4K/day, Calvin and Rihanna around 7.5K/day and Drake 11 K/day. Not sure how much that will change this week, but you can see Justin needs about a 70K lead on download sales to be in with a chance of beating Drake.
May 15, 201610 yr I've had enough of Drake is he going for a record or something, I can't see anything toppling him from the top if JT and Calvin don't do it.
May 15, 201610 yr We are on week 5 of his no1 stint and he's still streaming 800k times a day :0! More than that! He's getting 8M a week so over 1M a day, crazy numbers.
May 15, 201610 yr I know could be no1 for 8/9 weeks which is crazy long for the uk. Even if Justin gets no1 or anything else drake will retake it a week after!
