Don't worry Rob, we'll have a Calvin Hartis vs Lady GaGa chart battle next week instead.

 

Which of course won't be much of a battle, because Calvin Harris will smash all the competition :dance:

I think it surely depends on the choice of collaborator? It's not as if even the Rihanna collaboration went to #1 and HDIYL only started off at #7 initially...

I don't think Lady GaGa has much chance of #1 either truth be told.

Gaga has worked with Ronson, so could be her Uptown Funk :)

 

don't forget Calvin also released some terrible recent ones, like the one with Dizzie and the Olé song with John Newman aka the worst song of the year, so it's not like he's King Midas or anything

The Calvin track is with Ellie apparently.

53. Snakehips - Cruel (feat. ZAYN)

 

Gobsmacked at how poorly this has performed, even with a discount. It's leagues ahead of both 'Pillowtalk' and 'All My Friends' for me.

 

In fact, everything post-Pillowtalk for Zayn has been a bit of a commercial disaster.

I agree, it's so good!

Source?

Trouble has been deleted from iTunes, strangely :unsure:

 

Ariana to #10 because of it, hopefully she can get a nice top 10 effect again now!

Anything to help Zara go top 10 on iTunes tbh.

 

10. Ariana Grande Feat Nicki Minaj - Side By Side 25.4%

11. Zara Larsson - Ain't My Fault 24.4%

 

Come for that top 3 smash again Zara.

I hope the new Calvin is back to his funkier house style (Ready for The Weekend, Pray to God, Outside etc.) and not tropical future bass like 'This Is What You Came For'.

*goes to spotify and streams Trouble on repeat*

Source?

My Twitter friends (who are hardcore Ellie stans) are talking about it, I've asked them for their source! :)

why would they delete Trouble?

I doubt either Calvin or Gaga will go #1, the former probably will on iTunes for a bit.

57. Michael Bublé - I Believe In You

 

I'm so surprised that this has hold up pretty well!!

I'd guess Calvin will be top ten without a doubt next week, and Gaga will probably get a chart play -- I'm not sure just how high she'll be, though. So much chart dramz all at once :o

I feel like Gaga is being underestimated? It's hard to predict as we've not seen how she'd fare in the streaming era yet but I can imagine she'd be right near the top of the New Music Friday playlist on Spotify and get a LOT of curiosity-based first listens at least, plus not forgetting her fanbase. Could debut top 50 on Spotify? And of course a very strong start on iTunes is likely!

To be fair, that's part wishful thinking on my part.

The song is apparantley rock, so that might hurt her chances a little. I think she'll debut low top 10 at best.

 

Great to see Sia's "The Greatest" doing so well - hope it'll become a big hit. Perhaps it'll have a shot at #1 in a few weeks as well? :cheer:
