You dont know who Simply Red are? :o

Apologies if ive missed it but how are the points calculated?

I sense this week is going to be very dull on the iTunes chart.

What an uninspiring list of releases, will any of them even get top 10?

Shouldnt that be in the music purchases thread?

Really awful performance by Katy. Her voice sounds so weak and quiet, the backup singers totally drowned her out.

Well done Olly. Nice to hear all the Katy quiet for a bit.

Are we going to have a :cheer: every time Alex goes up a place and a :( when she goes down. Its so tedious.

What a shocker :naughty:

Good on you. If only more fans bought music for the song rather than the artist. Its low quality in the eyes of most people I know. The majority of opinions on the song are mainly negative. If you like it thats fine but I think you will be in the minority.

All very interesting and quite a few possibilities. Do your download equations include sites other than itunes? I think it will all come down to how many pre-orders Olly had. For him to get to number 5 after 2 hours must mean he had a huge amount.

You can buy it for me if you want.

Nadine Coyle's single is called Insatiable. About time the Nadine Coyle - tba was updated, I swear that has been in the list for a year.

I dont see how new artists can be said to have flopped. Sky Ferreira, Alex Gardner etc, didnt have huge expectataions or past success to be compared to.

Big Brother gets 2.5m a night. Their audience is also mostly young and probably the most likely to download music. A performance on GMTV or This Morning will be watched by about 1m. Nothing like facts and statistics to make a point. It will all come down to the amount of per-orders Olly had. The fact that he charted so high, so quickly (number 5 within a couple of hours) may give him the advanatge. There's no doubt Katy has outsold him in the last few days but Olly may have had a huge lead already on Sunday.

The only sheep around here are the people who think Katy Perry's song is the best thing ever made. So many fickle people on this forum.

Well done Olly, a very nice song. Makes a change from electro-pop or r+b.

The amount of pro Katy posts is unbelievable yet totally expected from people here on Buzzjack. BAAAAAAAAA

Agree about Aggro Santos' song. Candy was excellent and this new one is just awful.

Anyone got a list of songs used on X Factor?

Totally agree. More dross that is going to chart well. The thing is Alex is much better than this, such a great voice and reduced to singing a pimped up childrens rhyme.

Didnt they actually have a big lead in at one point? The Saturdays have only led through adding together all the other versions and then they had a narrow lead.

Im struggling to see how The Saturdays could be number one tomorrow. Their pop bars are just too far behind, even with all the other versions included. Im expecting them to be at #2 or maybe just edged into third.

Seems like the game is up for The Sats. A number 2 at best again. Saturday fans should take comfort that at least they havent flopped and sales will be decent as I reckon they would have been dropped if this single bombed.
