Even if The Sats are decreasing surely they won't dip below 8-9k in sales today and tomorrow? Justin's been selling that at #2 all week and The Sats are still in front of him?

Thank god Alan Carr is tonight rather than tomorrow night. Fingers crossed it keeps them up there but I can't really remember if Alan Carr has much effect?? Even a bit of a boost will do. They probably did 8-9k yesterday, so 84-85k now. But I doubt they'd go any further below selling 8/9k, since Justin's been at #2 all week selling that much??

Eh? Where has 33,000 come from? Or haven't you seen today's update with them at 76k? They have around 23k left to sell to make it over the 100k mark. They're on 76k now with sales from today, Fri and Saturday left to potentially cross 100k.

Why lol? Stop stressing and just enjoy the fact that they're almost certain to finally get their #1 with their highest first week sales ever. Just enjoy that for now instead of analysing every little thing! We've waited this long to see them have success like this after all. :P But sure, there's every chance they might not make it to 100k but Justin's been at #2 all week selling around 9k - and the girls are still ahead of him. The girls are on 76k now. If they sell 8-9k from today til Saturday, like Justin has been, then they'll just scrape it.

Hopefully The Sats have at least done 9k today taking them to 85k. They'll probably do 8-9k Friday, putting them at 93-94k. Saturday another 8k taking them to 101-102k me thinks? Surely their sales wouldn't go below that if they stay at #1 on iTunes since Justin's been doing around 9k most of the week at #2?

I think it's a definite no no that they'll make a 2nd week at the top, but hopefully grab some longevity and consistent sales and don't fall to much. I think they'll manage to hold on until tonight/early hours of tomorrow on iTunes but even if they slide to #2 they'll still sell and hopefully cross 100k if JT's been doing 8-9k since Sunday.

Hopefully Alan Carr is better....

Not too sure what ratings they get but I don't really think Loose Women viewers are the type of audience that'd probably buy the song really anyway. Perhaps a few sales. But promo is promo!

Double post

To make it to 100,100k they would have to sell a minimum of 35,000 from yesterday to Saturday... hmm. I think they could do it? Look at me getting all optimistic. :lol: As long as they don't dive below 8,000 today/tomorrow and hopefully hit 9,000 on Saturday they could go over the line? Depends on what they sold yesterday whether they could afford to do a little less than 9k on Sat? What does everyone reckon? So say, for example... If they did 10-11k yesterday (if we factor in a potential decrease on Tuesday's 13k) then they'd be on around 75-76k now. If they sold 8k today (Thursday), they'd be on 83-84k. If they sold 8k tomorrow (Friday), they'd be on 91-92k. If sales go up on Saturday (is this true?!) they could do 9-10k, putting them at around 100-103k. Surely they won't dip below 8k each day now?? Especially if Justin at #2 has been selling 8-9k for the past few days? So even if the girls fall to #2 on iTunes today or tomorrow there's still a chance for 100k+? I'd grab a #1 over a 100k so I won't be too disappointed if they do miss it but it'd be great if they could do both. I would be annoyed if they ended up on 99k though. :lol:

Justin's on 75.2% now. Could he overtake later tonight or sometime tomorrow if he keeps gaining ground fairly quickly? He gained on them 10% yesterday.

Eeek I hope they can hang on for Alan Carr. He climbed what, 10% (?) yesterday (probably due to the video) so if he managed another 10% today would put him on 84% going into tomorrow so hopefully the girls can hang on to hopefully get some sort of boost from Alan Carr. I guess we shouldn't get too excited at the prospect of them doing 100k+ now. EDIT: He's on 75% now going off Kworb. Hmph. He'll probably catch them later today/tomorrow if he carries on gaining fairly quickly like this all day. I want them to stay top for - hopefully - a boost from Alan Carr tomorrow night leading into Saturday! Please let it happen. :(

What I'm trying to say is if Justin did 9k yesterday at 55% thereabouts, now he's up 65%-70%, won't his sales rise from that 9k to at least 10k today? I doubt The Sats would have done another 13k day today so wouldn't they have have dipped to about 12k? But like you say he's not outselling them which I know and if he did 10k and The Sats 12k today isn't that a little close for a 30% lead? I'm confusing myself from worry and pessimism. :lol:

With Justin's increase to 71%, how much could he have sold today? Up from 9k to 10-11k? But then that would be on par with what the girls have probably sold today, right?

How much do you think they would have done today? If Justin was doing 9k when they had a greater lead, what could he have done today...? 10-11k? Or is that too much? Any thoughts?

I think there will be one tomorrow but not an official one from Official Charts etc, there will be an official one on Friday from Music Week (?!) and there won't be any update on Saturday.

A few technically have, I just don't think they've certified them as silver officially. (Would that be right?)

A 3rd week on the A List at Radio 1 secured. :)

That's good! :P I wish I was as much as you all are in regard to Sunday lol.

Let's make sure we've got the 1st week at No.1 lol.

They've sold over 65k so far. I'm a little worried too but fingers crossed.

Realistically though, can they stay there? Really, really hope so.

So Justin's climbed 6% today, probably with the help of his video... he'll probably climb another 6% over the course of this evening/early hours of tomorrow... as long as The Sats can get to the end of tomorrow at iTunes #1 I'll be happy. Or does anyone think they can stay there til Friday/Saturday?

^ I was just trying to think of the worst case scenario if they did drop a lot. Anyway, they're red now and Justin dark green. That damn video of his! Lol. EDIT: According to someone on Popjustice, they apparently sold around 13k yesterday and extended the 30k lead to 34k, Justin sold about 9k and is at around 31,255. The girls are on around 65,100 at the moment. That 13k is slightly less than I thought/hoped, but still good to see them add to the lead. Do you think they'll be consistent now and sell around 10-13k til Sunday? How much dya think Justin will do?

And if they keep losing say, around 5k of the supposed 30k lead each day from now on until 23:59 Saturday night, they'll still be around 10k ahead on Saturday, no? Unless they really drop and JT bolts up.
