It looks like another close race, who'll do it?

 

I'm gonna go with Roddy again even though I was wrong last week, Eminem won't have the boost of having a brand new album this week. I think he could drop to #3 with The Weeknd at #2. Can't see Lewis at #1 even with his physicals and video out this week, but I've put him in the poll anyway.

Pre-First Look, I've gone for The Weeknd

Going for Roddy Ricch just from The Weeknd, Eminem and then the Capaldi.

Went for Eminem last time, I do think Roddy will actually take it this time around.

Going to stick my neck out and say The Weeknd in the poll, but I bet Eminem gets a second week.

voting for The Weeknd, although I think they're all gonna be pretty close, just above 50K

 

even Lewis could be #1 but he needs to sell like 10k CD singles

I went for Lewis (before the Sunday update was revealed!)

I think Lewis will do it this week, he is pushing hard. The Weeknd to be #2 and maybe #1 next week. Hoping for another entertainingly close race anyway :magic:

 

edit: I hadn't seen First Look before posting this, I forgot that was a thing today xx

You still got the same top two as First Look anyway!

Lewis Capaldi has put signed CD’s for a £1 for Before You Go.

 

01. The weeknd

02. Capaldi

03. Roddy

Proof that I am predicter supreme. We'll forget how much of a hash I made of my prediction last week. x

The optimist in me wants Lewis to get it, but I’ve been wanting this result for weeks now, and I wish he would have been pushing the single weeks ago when Stormzy was on top for weeks. Still maybe he will manage somehow.

He did push for #1 then! Stormzy just responded by doing so as well lol ~ I somehow don't see The Weeknd engaging the same way :P

but before he just encouraged fans, now Lewis has CD singles, has the video out this week and

new versions of the song on iTunes and streams (acoustic, live)

agree its a pity he has Graham Norton next week and new last Friday

 

I think he can actually do it but will need a crazy lot of physical/downloads cos on Spotify he's kinda low, like 180K behind The Box

The Box doesn't seem to be increasing in streams this week a lot so all 3 definitely has the chance too. Bear in mind, the video might be released any day now. It's already been filmed.

I think the chance for 'The Box' to hit #1 may have passed now unless the video really helps it whenever it's finally released (it's frustrating that he released a video for a different song instead the other day, if he had dropped the video for 'The Box' there's surely no way it wouldn't have netted him an extra 94 units...), The Weeknd was only slightly behind and he is increasing faster (and probably has more left to gain on Spotify/Apple than Roddy).

Lewis Capaldi - Before You Go :D

[waits for Lewis, The Weeknd and Roddy all to go neck and neck in this poll...]

Unfortunately now it will probably be Lewis Capaldi.

*fortunately ;)
