Posted January 29, 200817 yr Rockstar's slowly closing in on the top of the i-tunes download chart, shifted 25k last week, and doesn't look like its near peaking anytime soon! If it's weekly sales pass the 30k mark I reckon it could be a player towards the middle of February! You'd never know 5+weeks of Nickleback at No1... :unsure:

You'd never know 5+weeks of Nickleback at No1... :unsure: It is finally getting the airplay it deserves, but that may not be enough, given that the singles market is starting to recover from its Xmas 'hangover'. IMO its best chance will be on the 16/2 chart - Basshunter & Adele's sales will have fallen back somewhat, and Rihanna & Kanye will have sold too many downloads & albums for their CD singles to take them all the way. Goldfrapp will be out to download that week, but I don't see that going to #1 on downloads alone - it won't be until fill release that it goes #1.
January 29, 200817 yr god i hope not, i couldnt imagine anything worse...IMO the song is rubbish and boring im still unsure how its made it to #3 this week :puke: :puke:
January 29, 200817 yr As 4 me surely no number one for Nickelback! And this is not because I dislike (I DO NOT!) this song - simply Nickelback will never be UK's #1! Tastes are VERY different among people 'bout 'em and as i analyse statistics it hardly means possible ... :( of course unless they do smth amazing and awesome... btw does someone know if they have ever been #1 at uk's official chart? :unsure:
January 29, 200817 yr its been a big hit for them already and it was never expected plus its done amazing things for the album,its a great album and its great to see finally see it do well as it didnt do great when released
January 29, 200817 yr It's just everything I hate about Americans/America Edited January 29, 200817 yr by Justin
January 29, 200817 yr It's one of their best singles, but I don't think it will go to Nr.1! IMO has already reached it's peak!
January 29, 200817 yr btw does someone know if they have ever been #1 at uk's official chart? :unsure:[/color][/size] No, Rock Star is their highest charting single to date. How You Remind Me peaked at #4. BTW I don't think either it will go to number 1. Already too many weeks on the chart and sales won't increase anymore significantly for them.
January 29, 200817 yr It's just everything I hate about Americans/America Even for a Canadian band they've managed to capture that life-of-excess-look-at-me-I-am/want-to-be-on-MTV-Cribs vibe in the song
January 29, 200817 yr I reckon Basshunter will clear another 40k this week. It practically did 13k last Tuesday
January 29, 200817 yr Physically the track has practically sold 300 copies, downloads is keeping it top 3, if this was a physical chart only, the track would not be top 10 at all. Physically wise the top 3 would look like this 1 Basshunter 2 Kelly Rowland 3 One Night Only
January 29, 200817 yr I don't think it will. Maybe it can get #2, but Basshunter is still selling so well and new competitors for the #1 spot will come once Basshunter starts to slow down.
January 29, 200817 yr Goldfrapp will be out to download that week, but I don't see that going to #1 on downloads alone - it won't be until fill release that it goes #1. Are Goldfrapp really a dead cert for #1 then? I'm not convinced. And no, I don't see Nickelback making #1. #2 is a possibility though. Edited January 29, 200817 yr by Shoat
