Posted January 8, 20224 yr http://i.imgur.com/kWN4fNn.png Lauren Spencer-Smith is in contention for a #1 single with Fingers Crossed, expect Sacrifice and a few more tracks from The Weeknd to make an impact also.

January 8, 20224 yr I predict that either Lauren Spencer-Smith will get her first number one, or The Weeknd will get his second number one. Adele top 3, and Gayle top 5.
January 8, 20224 yr My prediction: 1. Adele: Easy On Me 2. Lauren: Fingers Crossed 3. The Weeknd: Sacrifice 4. GAYLE: ABCDFU
January 8, 20224 yr I think Lauren will get #1 but can see it just being a one week #1 with either The Weeknd or Gayle getting it the following week.
January 8, 20224 yr I think Lauren will get #1 but can see it just being a one week #1 with either The Weeknd or Gayle getting it the following week. Or three weeks of Adele at #1 with Gayle, Lauren and The Weeknd stuck at #2 behind respectively. Imagine the OCC shooting themselves in the foot like that oof.
January 9, 20224 yr I feel like Lauren won't get the #1 this week. She's already falling quickly down the itunes chart so I think she'll chart in the top 5, but i don't think she'll be #1 Possibly a bit of a jesy nellson situation, high top 10 for a week before falling out the chart fairly quickly. Edited January 9, 20224 yr by Conorw
January 9, 20224 yr iTunes is kinda irrelevant though - it’s all about whether Lauren builds further on streaming, holds steady or falls. Based on Thursday - Friday it seemed she was stalling a bit but we’ll know more tomorrow. I wouldn’t discount Gayle at this point as her lead version is much closer to Adele on Spotify than it was this time last week.
January 9, 20224 yr Or three weeks of Adele at #1 with Gayle, Lauren and The Weeknd stuck at #2 behind respectively. Imagine the OCC shooting themselves in the foot like that oof. Unfortunately I can definetly see that :(. They were silly to have allowed the reset as Gayle, Lauren and The Weeknd reaching #1 would've brought them much more attention.
January 9, 20224 yr I think it seems like Adele's gonna hold onto this. Hope not. I’d rather have Ed Sheeran at #1 over Adele
January 9, 20224 yr Unfortunately I can definetly see that :(. They were silly to have allowed the reset as Gayle, Lauren and The Weeknd reaching #1 would've brought them much more attention. For real. Imagine if Adele stays there for three weeks and then the Ed/Taylor duet drops the week it goes back to ACR and their dual monopoly of #1 continues with no end in sight…
January 9, 20224 yr Imagine if Adele stays there for three weeks and then the Ed/Taylor duet drops the week it goes back to ACR and their dual monopoly of #1 continues with no end in sight… I would kinda love that just for the drama. :lol: Easy On Me is still my favourite out of all the contenders so am happy for that to stay at #1 till something better comes along.
January 9, 20224 yr Gayle has the sales advantage, Adele is likely the end of week #1 and Lauren was strongest at the start of the week so not sure who’ll be First Look #1
