Posted March 14, 200620 yr Chico fends off competition for number one single slot Source: MW Early retail reports reveal a three-way battle for the number spot is under way this week, with current chart topper Chico facing competition from Orson’s No Tomorrow (Mercury) and Pussycat Dolls’ Beep (A&M), currently at positions two and three respectively. A brace of singles are set to make big rises after chart rules allowed digital sales to make an impact on the chart one week before physical release, the biggest of which being The Black Eyed Peas’ Pump It (Interscope). A Top 20 new entry last week based on download sales, the single is likely to rise into the top five thanks to its physical release yesterday. Also set to score big increases are Girls Aloud’s Whole Lotta History (Polydor; last week’s position 93), Joey Negro’s Make A Move On Me (Data; 50), Ray J’s One Wish (Sanctuary, 172), James Blunt’s Wisemen (Atlantic; 57) and Beverley Knight’s Piece Of My Heart (Parlophone; 98). After Michael Jackson’s reissued Beat It (Epic), the highest bona fide new entry comes from Ne-Yo’s So Sick (Mercury), followed by Massive Attack’s Live With Me (Virgin) and Battle’s Tendency (Transgressive). In the albums market, David Gilmour is battling it out with Corinne Bailey Rae for the number one spot, with Placebo’s Meds (Virgin) looking to make it an all-EMI top three. New entries around the Top Ten will come from Russell Watson (Decca), Vittorio Grigolo (Polydor), Graham Coxon (Parlophone) and Fightstar (Island), with chart veterans Donald Fagen (Reprise) and Gary Numan (Cooking Vinyl) set to enter within the top 30.

March 14, 200620 yr nothin new in the top 3..... slaes are gonna be rubish then? maybe only 19K for a number 1
March 14, 200620 yr Well! Kelly C out of the Top 40 then! :o Looks like Ne Yo will be number 1 next week, if he is entering high on downloads. Sales must be awful too, but GO ORSON!! Would be wicked if they can make number 1! :)
March 14, 200620 yr Ne*Yo is download only, its not physically released until next week Yeah, I meant that he will be number 1 the week after. Sorry for the confusion!
March 14, 200620 yr Maybe the new entries mentioned are just top 20? I'm positive KT,Kelly, Hilary and the Foos wont miss the top 40... And also as most of the 'climbers' were not Top 75 last week will they all be classed as new entries?
March 14, 200620 yr Hi Mikey! Must say, I so appreciate your effort delivering us midweeks, though must say this week looks pretty boring to me. Do you have further information yet about Madonna yet?
March 14, 200620 yr Author And also as most of the 'climbers' were not Top 75 last week will they all be classed as new entries? this is so very confusing actually, usually they will be classed as a new entry, just have to wait and see, how the final chart looks like next Sunday
March 14, 200620 yr Fightstar top TEN? :o :o :o :o :o :cheer: If GA are top ten in the singles I'm happy :D
March 14, 200620 yr Hang on, wtf, just got Top 20 in, Orson are at NO.1 :o which are the reliable ones? I will ammend the board news if it needs changing.
March 14, 200620 yr Author which are the reliable ones? I will ammend the board news if it needs changing. Every thing is fine, Orson is at #1, with just 85 copies ahead
