I'm not even an Ed fan, in fact quite far from it but even I can see this is totally ridiculous.

Ed's comments the other day were cocky and the opposite of humble

but even I admit today he had a nice gesture.

If he was such a good friend to Elton then he wouldn't be making out as if he the reason Elton is going #1.

Well I mean he kinda is, like you just posted he has a load of signed CD’s he said he could release but he said he isn’t going to cause he wants Elton to get the #1, so he is the reason Elton is gonna get it?

Will next week it be: oh Adele is so selfish, she KNEW she would debut straight in at #1 so why doesn't she hold back the release?

But why mention that in the first place? Why not let Dua and Elton have their moment? There is no need for him to stick his nose in like this

He’s not sticking his nose in anywhere :heehee: so he’s just forbidden from posting about it now? Elton is a longtime friend of his and he’s posting about how much he wants him to have the #1 instead of him, to me that shows how much he really does respect him and I don’t see what your issue is with this? You’ve made it clear you have some sort of hatred for him but to me he’s not doing anything wrong.

He may have good intentions with what he's been saying but it doesn't come across that way and that's what's annoying people. He sounds really bothered by this happening and wants take credit for Elton and Dua reaching #1 when he could be humble and shut up.

Please can we not cycle through this whole thing yet again, it's PAINFUL on every level. :drama:

To be fair though Ed’s just being honest he could drop more 99p signed cd’s and easily beat Elton...

 

It’s just a fact.

He‘s signed 30k Shivers CDs (not just for the UK, obviously), so I‘m sure he‘d be able to close a gap of 3k

 

30 THOUSAND!!!?? I suppose anything is possible, but that seems mad.

Haven’t quite a few Shivers signed CDs been lost in the post?

Jesy's strangely low video streams appear to be sorted now :magic:

Hmm, the gap between James Blake and Doja Cat is barely any different to what it was yesterday. Do I dare to dream that the miracle of a top 5 album might yet still be achieved? :thinking: (#2 is even still within reach if he finds more fake cassettes!!1)

 

Elton pulling ahead today, if it wasn't already in the bag it definitely is now. Did he have a big CD sales dump today?

He‘s signed 30k Shivers CDs

What?! How is it even possible? :huh:

:lol:

 

Cold Heart is #1 without his help or blessing! The signed CDs he claimed to put on hold wouldn't have made a difference anyway #ByeEd

 

OMFG THIS!!!

 

I CANNOT STAND THE CHEESY WARBLER!!!!

 

His songs are shite and he is insufferable and more arrogant than even Robbie Williams! "Oh, I'm LETTING you get to no.1!" Um ... no. He'll probably say that to Adele next and say we should all be grateful that he didn't release a song the same week.

 

 

What?! How is it even possible? :huh:

 

Seems like good anecdotal evidence that online-purchased signed CDs are a bit of a scam :whistle: I do find it very hard to believe he would have personally signed 30,000 CDs lmao.

Just want to clarify that Elton & Dua's CDs are now the reason they're making #1 - without them they wouldn't be there. (and yes, there was another batch added in today's update!)

I've often thought that signed things are a scam, I swear they must have a team of people who are taught the vaguely appropriate scribble and then they do it instead.

Any updates on Maneskin? I was hoping they could go top 40 this Have they a chance next week?
