Posted July 1, 200817 yr Rapper eyeing Dizzee heights of number one 10:44 | Tuesday July 1, 2008 By Paul Williams Dizzee Rascal could get off to a perfect start with the first release on his new label currently debuting at the top of the midweek singles chart. Dance Wiv Me, which is released on his Dirtee Skank label, has opened up a lead of 5,000 sales over the UK’s current number one single, Def Jam/Mercury artist Ne-Yo’s Closer, with the Jive-issued No Air by Jordin Sparks featuring Chris Brown completing the top three. Dizzee Rascal’s current singles chart peak is 11, achieved by Stand Up Tall in September 2004. He could be joined in the top five on this coming Sunday’s chart by another new entry, Ministry of Sound act Basshunter whose follow-up to their chart-topping Now You’re Gone, All I Ever Wanted, presently sits at five in the midweeks. Rock-A-Fella/Mercury act Jay-Z will follow up his Glastonbury performance with 2004 hit 99 Problems/Dirt Off Your Shoulder set to rise from its current chart position of 95 into the Top 40 this weekend. It is likely to be joined by his Linkin Park collaboration Numb/Encore, which on last Sunday’s chart sat at 64. Parlophone act Coldplay will this Sunday make it four weeks at number one on the albums chart with Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends with A&M/Polydor’s Duffy again set to be their closest challenger with Rockferry. Jive/RCA act Chris Brown is challenging to break into the top three with Exclusive, while three newly-issued albums are looking to break into the Top 10: Relentless/Virgin’s Seth Lakeman with Poor Man’s Heaven; Warner Bros act My Chemical Romance with The Black Parade Is Dead and Infectious/Atlantic act the Subways with All Or Nothing. For Lakeman and the Subways it would be their first Top 10 albums, having coincidentally both previously peaked at 32 on the chart. Outside the 10, Vertigo/Mercury’s Dirty Pretty Things will debut with Romance At Short Notice, while new entries in or around the Top 40 are expected from Interscope/Polydor’s G Unit, Eddy Grant with a Mercury/UMTV best of, Eleven Seven’s Motley Crue and David Bowie with EMI set Live Santa Monica ’72. =================== Singles 1 Dizzee Rascal 13.9k 2 Ne-Yo 8.8k 3 Jordin Sparks 6.2k 4 Coldplay 5.8k 5 Basshunter 5.6k Top 10 Ironik Top 15 Ting Tings Top 20 MGMT Top 30 Estelle - American Boy Madonna Jay-Z - 99 Problems Freemasons Top 40 Jay-Z - Numb/Encore Estelle - No Substitute Love Goldfrapp Alphabeat - Facination Maroon 5 Top 50 Elbow - On A Day Like This Top 60 Vampire Weekend MGMT - Time To Pretend Neil Diamond - Sweet Caroline Kings Of Leon - Fans Mark Ronson & Amy - Valerie Sharleen Spiteri Top 70 Verve - Bittersweet Symphony Ladyhawke Amy Winehouse - Back To Black Jay Z- Hard Knock Life Bon JOvi - Living On A Prayer Pigeon Detectives - This Is An Emergency Top 80 Take That - Rule The World Hot Chip - Ready For The Floor Travis - J Smith Top 90 Jay-Z - Big Pimpin' Amy Winehouse - Rehab Hot Chip - Over & Over Black Kids Top 100 Niel Diamond - Pretty Amazing Grace Aereosmith - I Don't Want To Miss A Thing ================================= Albums 1 Coldplay 17.9k 2 Duffy 9.6k 3 Chris Brown 4.8k 4 Neil Diamond 4.7k 5 Darren Styles 4.3k Top 10 Seth Lakeman My Chemical Romance Ting Tings Subways Amy Winehouse [DE] Top 15 Rihanna MGMT Top 20 Dirty Pretty Things Vampire Weekend Top 30 Elbow Top 40 Estelle Kings Of Leon Wombats G Unit Eddy Grant Top 50 Motley Crue David Bowie Amy Winehouse - Frank Bon Jovi Mark Ronson Top 60 Aerosmith Flo Rida Raconteurs Kings Of Leon Coldplay Linkin Park Top 70 Sam Sparro Kaiser Chiefs Top 80 Editors Feeling Enemy Jay- Z - The Black Album Top 90 Last Shadow Puppets Fratellis - Costello Music Editors - An End Has A Start Cortez Top 100 Newton Faulkner Jay-Z & Linkin Park - Collison Course Kooks - Inside In/Inside Out Queen - Greatest I, II, III Top 110 Killers - Sam's Town Verve - Urban Hymns Amy Winehouse - Back To Black Source: The Music Room ====================================================== PLEASE NOTE Please keep this thread on topic at all times, I do not want to repeat myself every week, no text talk is allowed, do not write in block CAPS, and keep all requests in one post if you can, and try to read the thread topic before asking a question and please be patient while you are waiting for your question to be answered.

July 1, 200817 yr no chance of Ironik being top 5...and Jordin's out physically next week...my top 5 prediction for today's mids: 1) Dizzee Rascal & Calvin Harris (NEW) 2) Ne-Yo (1) 3) Jordin Sparks (3) 4) Coldplay (2) 5) Basshunter (NEW)
July 1, 200817 yr 01 (NE) Dizzee 02 (NE) Basshunter 03 (03) Jordin 04 (01) NeYo 05 (02) Coldplay 06 (10) Busta 16 (NE) Estelle
July 1, 200817 yr 16 (NE) Estelle I doubt that very much. She's struggling to stay in the iTunes top 40 so her physical sales would have to be huge. I want you to be right though. :( I think it will be 1. Dizzee Rascal 2. Ne-Yo 3. Coldplay 4. Jordin 5. Basshunter With Basshunter taking #2 or #3 by the end of the week and hopefully Jordin re-entering the top 3.
July 1, 200817 yr anyone else think he contenders for no.1 are quite dire. I only really like Jordin and even then i think some of her other songs are better.
July 1, 200817 yr 16 (NE) Estelle I was gonna put 26 but thought it was a little low considering she was #1 a few months back..but i see it struggling to make the top 30 in all fairness
July 1, 200817 yr I cant belive basshunter is number2 on itunes already such a awful song! I know, me too!
July 1, 200817 yr Its good to see a bit more movement in this weeks chart. I was expecting Neyo to get a 2nd week at no1 but his sales were fairly low last week.
July 1, 200817 yr I got excited when I saw Estelle top 30, then saw it was 'American Boy' :lol: at least "No Substitute Love" is top 40, it deserves to be at least 30 places higher though.
July 1, 200817 yr no chance of Ironik being top 5...and Jordin's out physically next week...my top 5 prediction for today's mids: 1) Dizzee Rascal & Calvin Harris (NEW) 2) Ne-Yo (1) 3) Jordin Sparks (3) 4) Coldplay (2) 5) Basshunter (NEW) give a prize to that man!
