Sorry if this has already been said but will this be the first time that a same song sung by different singers manages number 1 and number 2?

 

No, but since the 60s it is.

Interesting, Jeff really gaining on Leona... I really think it might be number 2 on the midweeks tomorrow.

 

Given that he sold around 5.3k more yesterday and is only 1.3k behind it would be a major shock if he wasn't ahead in tomorrow's midweeks <_<

At the end of 1953 two versions of 'Answer Me' were No1 and No2 for an incredible 7 weeks! Plus one week where both versions were a rare joint No1 :lol:.

is "no can do" released this week...that is massively bad......horrible if i may....

will this even go top 40?

is "no can do" released this week...that is massively bad......

Physically it is released on the 29th Dec.

Yeah thought they'd pushed it back. It was just outside the OCC top 90 yesterday...

 

Great to see Killers - Human climbing. Pity the Christmas song has left the top 40 though - was hoping it could make the OCC top 40...

If you add all the seperate versions of Jeff Buckley he is ahead of alex I think,

:o The charts are so static - Only one song moving up in the Top 25 :lol:

If you add all the seperate versions of Jeff Buckley he is ahead of alex I think,

 

He'll still be far off - Alex has a huge lead!

Maybe, but on on my i-tunes, if you add all his popularity bars together, he catches up with Alex,

Your iTunes is wrong, he's still only about 75-80% when combined of Alex's total!

 

Tbh he probably wont get passed now, and after the campaign is over, and the multibuyers stop purchasing it will drop like a stone!

i think he means sales for sundays chart... Alex is over 300k :lol:

Is Radio 6 the only place I can hear Chairlift?

 

 

Not sure. I think Radio 1 playlisted it when it first came out. Any idea why it's recharting, anyone?

I swear Radio 1 have playlisted it again. I don't see how many people will be buying it because of the apple advert. Its pretty much impossible to guess the name.

 

good for gabriella :P

good for gabriella :P

 

Yeah but will she ever make top 10?

Well it worked for Yael Naim...

Yeah but will she ever make top 10?

 

Not likely :o

Well it worked for Yael Naim...

 

Yeah but that goes "I'm a New Soul"... Chairlift doesn't go "I have Bruises"...

 

Anyway Yael didn't do as well as she should here :(
