disappointed that R1 have chosen Calvin as TOTD instead of Emeli :( well, at least she's song #1 on the new music Friday playlist on Spotify :D

That's really weird... And I like Calvin but the song is not good. Anyway - She will do much better than him. Where is she?

WTF? After the radio 1 appearance? That's low.

It doesn't matter on New Music Fridays, because big new releases like Emeli will get the same amount of plays as TOTD. It's actually better NOT to be TOTD on New Music Friday. For example Hair by Little Mix got the same amount of plays on the Friday as Pink's Just Like Fire, which was the TOTD on the same day, but they then benefited from being TOTD 2 days later. So got double the exposure on release week.

 

I do, however, think due to such a long break think Emeli will not match expectations at all.

I've got #18 for Calvin and #65 and #138 for Emeli.

slow start for emeli but big climb now... think it started slow cos it's not a "single", couldn't find it at first, but has to be bought off the album

Hurts #53 & 83

my guess is Chainsmokers will remain number 1 overall due to streams, James Arthur will be number 1 on sales - as he is taking some fairly big climbs now that he is getting radio plays. Calvin Harris will be Number 2 on both

 

Emeli - top 30 debut (officially)

What? Top 30? Top 10 for sure at least.

2 versions indeed because of an album pre order. Climb!

37 Twenty One Pilots - Cancer

 

Doing much better than I expected - Get that smash TØP!

hahaha was gonna post how disappointingly the new 21 Pilots is doing relative to the US (top 3)

 

Calvin now #14

 

Emeli #42 & 57

not impressed with the calvin harris track on first listen. such a shame james arthur has no chance of challenging for the official number 1 (bar a miracle turnaround with streaming)

They need to get their heads out of Calvin's arse. On the other side, she'll have the biggest selling album of the year

Yeah, echoing most people's comments on here that Calvin's single is pretty average but Emeli's is brilliant! Both should go Top 10, though I'm hoping Top 3 for Emeli, she deserves it with a comeback single like that.

Calvin 10 and Emelie 16 combined. She will pass him soon, I'm hoping, She was out after him.

calvin #10

Emeli #32 + 48

I really hope Gaga hasn't peaked already this week :( out of top 20 on iTunes and down to #45 on Spotify. :( wish we could rewind the years.

I think it's pretty clear that Gaga's chart dominating days are well and truly over.

The Emeli Sande song should do well and deservedly so. It sounds a very 'autumn' song if that makes any sense... :lol:

Well I guess autumn has begun as of today so it's fitting. There's no way that the heavy rain and thunder of last night can be considered as summer!

As I could have guessed Calvin Harris is already in the top 10, I think sometimes it's his name alone that gets him so high in the charts. I haven't heard his new song yet but I'm sure the formula is the same for this one as well.

06. Calvin Harris // My Way

20. Emeli Sandé // Hurts (+43)
