April 15, 200916 yr GaGa will die down long before she even begins to challenge KoL. The 2 best songs have been released! Still reckon it will get to 800k by the end of the year
April 15, 200916 yr Author She'll be happy with 800K. Could do even more, if those singles stay Top 40 all year.

April 15, 200916 yr is there a similar thread for YTD singles?? Yes there is, but its delayed due to Bank Holiday and its compiled by a different member plus personal issues.
April 16, 200916 yr Yes there is, but its delayed due to Bank Holiday and its compiled by a different member plus personal issues. Cough - not just *one* version of the YTD figures, Martin...
April 16, 200916 yr Flop from U2 normal standards, considering it did most of that in its first week. Plus i cant see their new one doing much! And i reckon Gaga will do a million before the year is out! Edited April 16, 200916 yr by Gboy
April 16, 200916 yr Author Shame we had to lose P!nk this week to gain Akon :( She's back, as the chart expands to a Top 30. :)

April 17, 200916 yr Thanks Dave, and Thanks vidC, i like that your list is longer (not that size matters :P), and your estimates generally more optimistic! :lol:
April 18, 200916 yr Thanks Dave, and Thanks vidC, i like that your list is longer (not that size matters :P), and your estimates generally more optimistic! :lol: I find that there's usually a bit of wiggle-room on sales estimates within the three constraints I use. 1. Official sales figures from Music Week. 2. List of sales increases/50% increases. 3. The offical YTD T75's (without sales) published each week in ChartsPlus.
