I don't think the fact the Katie / Eva (whom I hardly class as a legend, more of a myth) single is the only single in Tesco is really a factor. Tesco patrons don't go there looking for singles, as has been previously pointed out (and if you live somewhere large enough), if you're looking for a single you'd be more likely to go to HMV. Tesco here are selling to the unimaginative masses of checkout queuers.

 

Of course it's a factor. It gives that single 2000 outlets no other single in the charts has. And a dedicated display away from all competition. You couldn't pay for that sort of promotional advantage.

I wonder who buys a record without knowing whats on it or what it sounds like?

Where are One Eskimo - anywhere in the top 200?

Wanna bet? I was in Tesco yesterday and at least a dozen trolleys had a copy of the single in it. It wouldn't surprise me at all that casual shoppers might buy one, especially as it's for charidee...

 

What's even more impressive is that Monday and Tuesday are the quietest days of the week in supermarkets...wait until it gets to Friday and Saturday :o

thank you for giving me some indication of how kylie is doing with X. really appreciate your help :) thanx

I didn't know they had a single or album... whatever format it is... nothing

I think everyone knows the song What A Wonderful World so its pretty easy to guess what it sounds like by Melua and Cassidy without even having to hear it :w00t:

It's just a shame X-Factor has taken over the fun of Christmas number 1 though

Because it was really fun with Cliff Richard, Mr Blobby, Bob the Builder, Band Aid or the Spice Girls?

Agreed. THE RACE FOR CHRISTMAS NUMBER TWO STARTS HERE!! What do you think it'll be?! *Crickets Chirp, rolling ball of hay blows by*

 

Better late than never, sorry can't answer any questions now, kinda busy, will get back to you later

Would you prefer Soulja Boy ?

 

Actually they could stop people moaning about this if the Winners Song was a xmas song.

Well, if you prefer...it shouldn't be a factor. As I said some 7 or 8 pages ago, if you must have a version of that song then get the original Louis Armstrong one and pop a couple of quid in a charity box. Why buy some hastily-thrown together duet between two people who have never met in the name of charity?

 

It's a massive waste of plastic / CDs.

You're just jealous cos Shaun The Sheep isn't going to be No 1. Never mind, buy yourself a woolly sweater to cheer yourself up... ;)

 

'richie', maybe some people actually want to hear the katie melua/eva version. Maybe they actually prefer that one to the original louis one. Maybe some people dont believe in giving to charity and just want the cd but inturn are forced to give to charity.

 

I think its great they are no1 and i dont particularly like either.

Ouch at Suga's dropping :lol: I can see them only reaching about 16 next week now :lol:

Yes unless the sugababes downloads improve drastically, i think it may struggle to make top 10.

Leona sill holding off Soulja Boy :D

 

Shame we don't have any sales, but I think that Katie and Eva will definitley pick up on Saturday, I think they've got number 1 B)

Katie/Eva are #1 on the Tesco albums download chart too. :blink: Don't know why it's on both the albums and singles one.

 

I'm just guessing here - especially since Preston doesn't have a regular Tescos (we have an Expess, but not a regular one) - but maybe people are downloading the complete album.

 

Don't know but family members have knocked each other off

 

I think Boyzone (Shayne Lynch) knocked his two sisters Edele & Keavy from B*Witched off No.1 in early 1999

 

They did.

Sugababes are going to be on Paul O Grady tomorrow, and then some other 2 shows over the weekend- i think they will get top 10!
