Well, entered at Number 1 on downloads today, 2 weeks before the physical single is out! :o

 

So how long will Umbrella be Number 1 for?

4 weeks, 6 weeks is being way too optimistic and I honestly dont think any song will ever be that big again, with charity records or X factor winners possibly excepted.

Gnarls Barkley managed 9.

I think Rihanna could easily do about 6/7 if the physical is big enough. Only Take That could stop her tbh.

What?! are u forgetting Mika, or Gnarls Barkley last year?? :huh:

Of course its possible to get 6 weeks + at #01 still, why wouldn't it be?

 

It just requires the large type of impact song that "Umbrella" is...

6 weeks I say, first song to enter #1 on downloads since Gnarls Barkley and that spent 9...

I'd say a day or a few hours.

4 or 5

Ermm note the use of the word again!

i am gonna go for 5 weeks ^_^

5 weeks :)

5+ ^_^

3 Weeks

It will be be #1 next week

and then the week after...

After that it will fall

I reckon..

I'd say at least 2 weeks.

Rihanna will hold on next week & will hold on for a 3rd week when the Physical single is released, but afterwards.........

 

These are the potential challengers to the #1 spot:

 

4th Jun

Chemical Brothers (feat Ali Love) – Do It Again

 

Rihanna will hang on = 4 weeks

 

11th Jun

Enrique Iglesias – Do You Know (Ping Pong Song)

Kelly Clarkson – Never Again

Take That – I’d Wait For Life

White Stripes - Icky Thump

 

I reckon Take That or The White Stripes could pinch it.

 

18th Jun

Editors – Smokers Outside The Hospital Doors

Gwen Stefani – 4 In The Morning

 

I can't see Gwen managing it, but the Editors - you never know.

 

25th Jun

Bon Jovi - (You Want To) Make A Memory.

 

With the Bon Jovi fanbase, they could record 200 seconds of the band farting and the lead single from a new album would be a guaranteed Top 5 Hit.

 

2nd Jul

Nothing good enough is out.

 

9th Jul

Nothing Good enough is out.

 

 

Potentially if Rihanna can survive the week of June 11th, then she could spend a couple of months at #1, unless something new & exciting enters the New Release Schedules.

 

However, I think the Take That fan base will stop Rihanna at 4 weeks providing Take That with their 11th #1 Hit single,

4 weeks. I don't know why, just a little premonition I have..

Some shocking early releases there from Gwen and Enrique. Neither songs have started to get played on Radio's, and only Enrique's video was added this week, no sign of Gwen.

13 weeks

Gwen will be put back, Im pretty sure. And Enrique wont have a big hit, probs peak at 10 or something.

13 weeks

We're talking the UK here, only the USA would have it number one for that ridiculous amount of time :rofl:
