Well, since Dizzee isn't THAT huge as most of us expected, the chances for #1 of next week's releases grow constantly, especially Sugababes. Anyway we should wait another one or two days to see the final 'pop bars' peak for Dizzee and, of course, Tuesday midweeks which hopefully will be with sales. I suppose that Dizzee will double his pop-bars in iTunes before he peaks.

I can't see Sugababes NOT getting #01. It's absolutely everywhere atm, I should think it'll manage at least two weeks at the top as well.

FFS! Keri AND Kelly BOTH WAYYY DOWN to last time I saw them! :mellow: WTH HAPPENED?! :|

^ I think part of it is the X Factor Effect. :(

Poor Kelly :( It's such a shame to see it falling so fast.

 

Dizzee is #1

Dizzee is #1

 

Before midnight as well as we were thinking.

It looks like that Temper Trap song is turning into a bit of a surprise hit.

Bear in mind that its only the radio edit that's available this week. The remixes and the physical released next week will help bolster his position

^^ Same as Get Sexy.

 

Dizzee will need a healthy lead over David Guetta though, as the album version of "Sexy Bitch" will be out tomorrow which will add to its total.

 

Example, look at the pop bars for the album version of "Ready for the Weekend" (#16).

Well it probably won't. If they released the downloads the same week as physical he would have more sales next week.

But 'Girls' was also pretty everywhere and look at where it peaked.

 

And we don't know anything about the staying power of 'Holiday'. As ManicKangaroo rightly stated, there will be loads of remixes next week which will help, and all of us remember how well they did with 'Bonkers': the club mix had reached #18 or so before the main version was removed from #1, and it is VERY high position for remix! Maybe 'Holiday' is going to sell 70k+ for two weeks and THAT will be strong competition! From the other side, looking how 'Bonkers' slumped sales-wise on its second week, everything may happen.

Sugababes are releasing everything at the same time next week- I think they will have the upper hand to be honest with you.

Their main downfall is they arent promoting really. Girls was just as much everywhere as get sexy is and that had a performance on strictly and was doing better on airplay and that only got to no3.

 

Plus, i am sure the remixes for holiday will be much more popular than the sugababes ones.

Well, 'Get Sexy' is much better than 'Girls' for most people. ;) And there are loads of acts which got to #1 without BIG TV perfomances. David Guetta, Cascada... I don't remember BEPs doing big promo too.

This is very true, but dance acts like david guetta and cascada never? promote on the big high profile shows.

 

Sugababes have always done heavy promo.

If Sugababes don't get #1, and Holiday does, then it's a very bad job.

I still think sugababes will get to number one but i think total sales will be poor. There seems to be a general trend for brand new songs to shoot up itunes on release week and get taken over by another the week after. I know this has always happened but it seems to happen more now.
