Posted June 7, 200619 yr Credit: Music Week World Cup fever is taking a firm grip on midweek sales ahead of the tournament's launch in Germany this Friday with at least half a dozen football songs on course for the Top 40. The footballing line-up is headed by the official England team song, Independiente act Embrace's World At Your Feet, which is expected to leap from its number 38 entry position on download-only sales last week into the top five this coming weekend. It is part of a three-way battle with RCA-signed Sandi Thom's I Wish I Was Punk Rocker and Polydor's Nelly Furtado with Maneater for the number one position. Two Gut World Cup tracks are also looking to progress with Tony Christie's (Is This The Way To) The World Cup aiming to move from its entry position of 11 into the Top 10 and Crazy Frog's We Are The Champions (Ding A Dang Dong) poised to climb from 50 last week into the Top 20. Other World Cup contenders for the Top 40 include the Harkit-issued Stan's World Cup Song by comedian Stan Boardman, the return of the Columbia Label Group-handled 3 Lions by Baddiel/Skinner/Lightning Seeds and The Sun-backed Who Do You Think You Are Kidding Jurgen by Tonderf Allstars on the Tone Def label. Alongside Embrace, B Unique/Polydor act Automatic are also expected to climb high into the Top 10 from a lower download-only chart position last week with Monster, while new entries to the chart will come from acts including Attack/Sanctuary's Morrissey, Mute's Depeche Mode and the latest Sony BMG Michael Jackson re-issue. It will be all change this Sunday on the artist albums chart with the likelihood of five new entries in the Top 10 courtesy of RCA's Sandi Thom, Island's The Feeling, Polydor-signed Ronan Keating, Cilumbia's Primal Scream and Warner Bros' Paul Simon, all expected to send Mercury-signed Orson spiralling down the chart just a week after debuting at one with Bright Idea. Thom, on course for a high debut with Smile It Confuses People, will be looking to achieve a chart-topping debut with simultaneous number ones on both the singles and albums charts. =================================================================== Singles Watch the No.4 Video The Automatic - Monster Here: [flash=450,350]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bG7wzC54INQ.swf 01 Sandi Thom - I Wish I Was A Punk Rocker 02 Nelly Furtado - Maneater (8 ) [CLIMBER] 03 Embrace - World At Your Feet (38 ) [CLIMBER] 04 Automatic - Monster (23) [CLIMBER] 05 Gnarls Barkley - Crazy Top 10 Morrissey - The Youngest Was The Most Loved [NEW ENTRY] Top 15 Depeche Mode - John The Revelator / Lillian [NEW ENTRY] Micheal Jackson - Earth Song [NEW ENTRY] Hope of the States Sing It Out (184) [NEW ENTRY] Crazy Frog - We Are The Champions (Ding A Dang Dong) (50) [CLIMBER] Top 20 Mariah Carey feat.
