This is the biggest iTunes lead since I Love Sausage Rolls already, very impressive start!

Not sure why The Weeknd's sales would be set to drop massively when he's still actually going up? :P

 

A #1 debut does seem incredibly likely for Billie though - very impressive!

 

OK. I rephrase that just a tad of a fall :P

 

Looking impressive for Billie, I just hope its chart run at #1 won't be interrupted 1-1-1-2-1-2-1 lol

 

Even Writing’s On The Wall is back at #62 now (and Skyfall #82), the Bond hype is definitely there!

it's a pity HH hasn't given it better support

it was the same with Everything I Wanted, added at the middle of the list,

but this is a Bond theme for the biggest pop star of the moment so HH should have placed it higher

then it would have been a guaranteed #1

 

still think she can get the #1 though

'Blinding Lights' and 'No Time To Die' would be such high quality back-to-back #1s :wub:

This :wub: Certainly makes up for the garbage ones we've had so far

The Weeknd and Billie were seemingly the biggest current performers to have never made #1 so it's rather apt that they get #1s back to back, I think Billie should have no problem reaching #1 this week.

Lewis, The Weeknd and Billie getting #1s in succession would definitely show that good music can get the #1.

 

3 featureless #1s as well :wub:

Wasn't convinced that Billie would go straight to #1 considering she hasn't had a #1 before and only one previous Bond theme has got #1, but her being there with such a huge lead on iTunes + more importantly as high as #9 on Apple Music already (and rising very rapidly) definitely bodes well for her! Haven't heard the song yet but very excited to hear it.

Looking good for Billie plus she has the added benefit of spktify supporting her , ladbaby , x factor celebs didn't have that when they started huge on itunes

True, forgot about it. Her lead after gonna be more insane, and we all know that she'll gonna do wonders on streaming.

Just heard Marina's song, it's so good! Obviously can't see it doing anything but it's great that she's still delivering.

It's so cute! Perfect for the film it features on too :wub:

 

Also, isn't this the perfect time for Billie's Bond song? I think I saw that the movie is out in like 7 weeks, so just as the hype would usually wear down, the movie release will bolster it up for another few weeks. Could it overtake Tones & I's time at the top?

I like it but I don't think it'll spend that long at the top to be honest. I don't think it'll fall as fast as Sam Smith's did though.

Wow wonderful lead, can't wait to see if she can be another long runner at the top.

 

How did Billies current single do in November on iTunes?

It got to #2 (behind Dance Monkey) on the day of release, fell out of the Top 5 three days later and then just hovered around the 7-15 section.

Not bad I guess! No one was beating DM at that time!
