Posted March 11, 200818 yr One Republic stop and stare at Duffy's chart crowns 10:42 | Tuesday March 11, 2008 Source: MW By Paul Williams Duffy’s singles and albums chart crowns are both facing their biggest threat this week from US rock band One Republic. Newly-released midweek sales figures suggest the Interscope/Polydor act are poised to reach a new chart peak with their single Stop And Stare, which last Sunday moved up from 8-4, while their debut album Dreaming Out Loud is on course to be the artist albums chart’s highest new entry. Although Dreaming Out Loud is presently Duffy’s closest challenger on albums, the A&M/Polydor act’s Rockferry is sufficiently ahead on sales to set up a second successive week at number one. Her single Mercy is also a safe distance ahead of Stop And Stare on the singles chart, making it a strong bet to secure a fifth week at number one. The One Republic album is likely to be joined in the Top 10 by the debut album from Columbia act MGMT, Oracular Spectacular, while a handful of new entries are lined up outside the Top 10. These include new sets from Atlantic’s Get Cape Wear Cape Fly, Transgressive’s Young Knives and DFA/EMI’s Hercules & Love Affair. A Temptations UMTV-issued best of, Classic Soul Hits, also appears to be heading for a Top 20 debut following the group’s appearance on Jonathan Ross’s BBC1 chat show last Friday. Syco/RCA’s Leona Lewis is expected to move into the Top 10 of both the singles and albums chart this Sunday. Her debut album Spirit is likely to return to the 10 as her third single Better In Time prepares for a double-digit climb from its position of 23 achieved last Sunday. A physical-only version of the single, listed as a double A-side with Footprints In The Sand, is presently listed separately as a new entry at 29 on the midweeks. The Data-issued reworking of Utah Saints’ Something Good is also challenging to climb into the Top 10. The original version reached number four on 1992. Atlantic/Necessary act Hard-Fi are likely to be the singles chart’s highest new entries with I Shall Overcome, while Elbow’s Fiction debut Grounds For Divorce could join it in the Top 20. Other new entries will include releases by Atlantic act Panic At The Disco and Vertigo/Mercury’s Joe Lean & The Jing Jang Jong.

March 11, 200818 yr Hope GA can make top ten by end of the week... I think it'll look something like below : 1 Leona 2 Duffy 3 H2O With Duffy top of the albums......
March 11, 200818 yr Please not Leona - surprised she's resorting to charity tactics already. Really pleased for The Futureheads - superb comeback and two fingers up at their record label for dropping them - hope they make the 10.
March 11, 200818 yr Don't think it Leona using charity tactics. More likely Comic Relief using Leona tactics, making the most of her massive appeal as 1 of the biggest selling artists in the UK right now. If you want to make money for a charity get someone on board who will sell the most singles possible. Good choice Sports/Comic relief, hope it raises a lot of money. Hope it stays at number 1 for a good few weeks and not just because its for charity.

Leona has been a success so they're using her like they did with Gareth Gates a few years ago. Children In Need tried it with Spice Girls but that proved to be a massive failure. I predict a boring chart for some reason as I can't se below top 3 1 Leona 2 Duffy 3 H 'Two' O
March 11, 200818 yr I think the babes could be top 20 by sunday aswell and I hope leona get's top number 1
March 11, 200818 yr I think Leona will - Her song is everywhere at the moment. What with both performed on DOI at the weekend and also GMTV this morning, plus she still has sports releif on Friday. :)
March 11, 200818 yr Please not Leona - surprised she's resorting to charity tactics already. Really pleased for The Futureheads - superb comeback and two fingers up at their record label for dropping them - hope they make the 10. Well said, they're so underrated.
March 11, 200818 yr I'm really not sure whos gonna be #1 this week. Leona's catching up on Itunes but Duffy is well in the lead. - Oh and why is Leona's single priced £3.99? Its cheaper to to buy individual tracks on Itunes! I'm also hoping Girls Aloud can move into the top 15, if not top 10 and Sugababes make it into the top 20. Hopefully Kylie can keep a top 15 position and Alphabeat still in the top 10. I also think Westlife will drop to the lower end of the top 20, if not fall out of it
March 11, 200818 yr i think Duffy will win this week but Leona will be chasing her all the time aswell!!
March 11, 200818 yr Author Just hoping Futureheads will get top 10, I think its going to lose out, its a great record, deserves to be top 10
March 11, 200818 yr Author Duffy has done the double again, Leona is top 10 Give me a mo while I edit, GA's album is top 40
