Posted March 21, 200719 yr Sweet relief at top of the charts 20 March 2007 - 11:23:19 Source: MW It threatens to be a Comic Relief one-two at the top of the singles chart next week, as early retail reports suggest that alternative charity single I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles) by The Proclaimers, Brian Potter and Andy Pipkin (EMI) is set to take the number one slot. The song, which currently sits at number three, was released last Friday, selling 22,000 copies by close of business on Saturday. However, prolonged exposure on Friday night’s Comic Relief show has sent sales spiralling and the track looks near certain to take the number one slot, just ahead of fellow Comic Relief single, Walk This Way by Sugababes and Girls Aloud (Fascination/Island). The release of Potter and Pipkin’s comedy cover has also given a boost to The Proclaimers’ original version of 500 Miles (Chrysalis), which should claim a top thirty placing next week. Also looking likely for top five slots are Alex Gaudino’s dance anthem Destination Calabria (Data), The Sweet Escape by Gwen Stefani (Interscope) and Avril Lavigne’s Girlfriend (Columbia). The Twang’s debut single Wide Awake (B-Unique/Polydor) is pushing for a top ten placing, after reaching 32 on downloads only this week. Brett Anderson’s Love Is Dead (Drowned In Sound), Tiny Dancers’ I Will Wait For You (Parlophone) and The Rumble Strips' Alarm Clock (Fallout/Island) should all claim top forty entries. On the albums chart, Ray Quinn looks set to claim another week at number one with Doing It My Way (Syco), although Enter Shikari’s Take To The Skies (Ambush Reality) should score a top three entry. ===================================================== Singles 1 The Proclaimers feat.

March 22, 200719 yr Author What you see is what you get Thursday update taken from another site, Avril Lavigne at 3 :o no other chart info this week, so far.
March 22, 200719 yr Yeah, the songs quite good! It could be her first number 1 in the UK! It has to beat 500 miles first though! that might be quite tough!
March 22, 200719 yr Wow at Avril...would be an easy No.1 if not for Comic Relief... Scooch at #101...I would think it can go top 75 by sunday...and of course it will be back in may!
March 22, 200719 yr Author Sun reports The Proclaimers are outselling Sugababes/Girls Aloud by five-to-one
March 22, 200719 yr Good God! That's what Amarillo did too! I don't think it will sell knowhere near as much as Amarillo though!
March 22, 200719 yr Sun reports The Proclaimers are outselling Sugababes/Girls Aloud by five-to-one I will assume that GA/Sugas will sell 30k this week so Proclaimers perhaps 100-150k tops Avril probs about 22-23k
