Zayn and Taylor won't miss the top 10 officially if they're #1 on sales, they'll need around 40k to be #1 on sales (that's what Rockabye sold on pure sales last week) and last week it took 35k sales + streams to go top 10.

Finally Rockabye is dying

Good. I hope "Human" or "Black Beatles" can eventually go #1

They sold 30,003 copies this week on pure sales which means they would be at #12 officially if you take out the streaming points

I think top-5 is a dead cert for Zayn/Taylor tbh, maybe top-3 depending on Apple Music power.

I'm pretty sure Taylor will be on Spotify for the next album campaign, it would be silly not to.

What makes you think that? She's made her feelings about Spotify quite clear!

Once she realises she'll be more successful in the charts by putting her songs on Spotify she'll do it I think. Though that may not be for a while yet seeing as YouTube counts towards the US Chart therefore she can still have #1s easily there.

J Cole everybody dies has a great rap but but the backing track is so boring. The False Prophets backing track is a bit more interesting, but I prefer sweeping backing tracks like in 'We Own It' by Wiz Khalifa and 2 Chainz in hip hop songs.

There are some indications she will carve in eventually.

 

The first one is that Universal's big boss has made clear no act can have exclusives and she is distributed worldwide by Universal. Of course, she is so huge I am pretty sure she can still be an exception but the fact there'll be so much pressure from her WW distributor to make it available on the platform might work. It definitely worked with Drake.

 

Also, she is a worldwide act but she can still gets even bigger in a lot of regions around the globe. She hasn't even done a proper arena tour across Europe yet and she is big in Latin America but can get even bigger. Spotify exposure is a must in those continents. So there ya go....

 

I mean, of course she is huge enough to shun Spotify and still be successful. Beyoncé does it. But, at the long run, it wouldn't really benefit her and her and her team are usually very business-minded and micromanage every detail.

Taylor Swift could even do a Drake or beat his record of 15 weeks at #1 if she put her music on Spotify

Taylor/Zayn shouldn't have any trouble going top 10. Whilst spotify makes up the majority of streams, Apple Music has a siginificant share of the streaming market. So they should get a good chunk of streams from there to help push them into the top 10. Considering how large its lead is getting on iTunes as well, I think it'll do somewhere around 40-45k on pure sales with another 10-15k from streams. Perhaps even higher as I'm sure radio will start hammering the song right away!

Busted are performing on Graham Norton, and it's followed by a showing of Adele's Radio City Concert. So probably boosts for both of them as well.

X Factor Final - The Weeknd/Harry Styles/Kylie Minogue/Little Mix/James Arthur/Clean Bandit & Louisa

 

The ones in bold haven't been set in stone yet just to clarify! Clean Bandit & Louisa are rumoured for a duet, as is Harry Styles, but it's not confirmed so it may not be true just yet :heehee: Steve Aoki & Louis Tomlinson are performing tomorrow night though!

Louis is performing? After the news about his mother?

Yes, it was one of her wishes apparently! He has a song with Steve Aoki out this weekend ^_^
