Posted February 12, 200818 yr Nickelback setting up to become chart-topping Rockstars Source: MW 13:01 | Tuesday February 12, 2008 By Paul Williams Nickelback are vying to make UK chart history this Sunday be taking the longest time to reach number one during a single chart run. The band’s Roadrunner-issued track Rockstar is presently ahead of the Hard2Beat/MoS single Now You’re Gone by Basshunter featuring DJ Mental Theos. If Rockstar does end up at number one on Sunday it would have happened during its 18th week on the singles chart, beating the previous record set by Celine Dion’s Think Twice, which took 14 weeks after charting to reach number one in February 1995. Nickelback and Basshunter are set to be joined in the Top 10 by the lead-off singles of new albums by The Feeling and Goldfrapp. Island-signed The Feeling’s I Thought It Was Over will move from its position last week of 12, while Mute act Goldfrapp’s A&E is poised for a double-digit climb. Meanwhile, American band Paramore, signed to the Fueled by Ramen label, appear certainties to become the Top 40’s highest new arrivals with Misery Business challenging for a Top 10 place. It was placed 57th on this past weekend’s new chart. Other Top 40 entries will be few and far between but are likely to include Yael Naim, The Coral, Simple Plan and Duffy. Exactly a quarter of a century after the original version occupied a place in the UK Top 10, the 25th anniversary edition of Michael Jackson’s Thriller is on course this Sunday to debut in the top five. The Sony BMG album is expected to be joined in the Top 10 by Started A Fire, the debut album by Vertigo/Mercury act One Night Only, and the Decca-released Greatest Hits by Morrissey. Above them all, Roadrunner’s Nickelback will be pushing for a chart-topping double as All The Right Reasons aims to overturn Brushfire/Island’s Jack Johnson album Sleep Through The Static at the top. The chart’s big climbers will include Mercury act David Jordan’s Set The Mood, which is picking up sales as the single Sun Goes Down is on course to consolidate its top-five position. The Top 40 midweek singles and albums charts are both available on musicweek.com.

February 12, 200818 yr Hope Nickelback drop... but I can see them being Number 1 this week; what with Basshunter's songs sales dropping off
February 12, 200818 yr The Feeling have done a lot of promotion - I'd rather see them at the top than Nickelback or Basshunter, so I'm backing them. Hopefully Pete and the Pirates are heading towards their first hit too.
