Most likely No. 1 - Will.i.am/Britney, Rihanna, Taylor Swift Darkhorse - Bruno Mars Outside chance - Olly Murs (now at number 3 on iTunes, but could drop massive as the week goes) No Chance - James Arthur, Psy

WOW! That is truly amazing. Especially since most album sales in the US have been mediocre this year.

pa14VNsdSYM Lead single off her new album, Loud, where will this peak? She has a big challenge ahead of her as she will be competing against Cheryl Cole's single. So, as a bonus poll, how many copies will she sell on her release week?

5x Platinum! Wow, and still number one! Amazing! With over 200,000 units sold, is Waka Waka on course of being number 1 of the year? Or is she already there?

Somebody beat me to it! Anyways, the song is great. I predict a surefire number 1.

So, the music video premiered at kylie.com for Kylie's 2nd single Get Outta My Way, from the album Aphrodite. Official Video Link: Will this single do better than All The Lovers?

6g6g2mvItp4 From their new album Hands All Over (released September 20), this is their lead single which is already receiving TV airplays. So far peaking at number 17 in the US, could it do better in the UK?

Song Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dqMf3W7Y2WI UPDATE - Music Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CwE-SLnLkqY Now a number one hit on US Billboard and getting airplays here in the UK. How will this song do?

eB6m_xB0VGo Will this song be a hit or flop? What do you think of the song?

I would have thought "Wow" then "In My Arms" as the first two. Also, Beyonce's "Single Ladies" - If only that was the lead track from "I Am... Sasha Fierce" instead of "If I Were A Boy" - That might have been her number 1 instead. It truly deserved to rank higher.

IKjDpbrVyb0 Currently Top 10 in New Zealand and (EDIT - charted a bit in Canada and the US). Will this single be another hit for Timbaland and Katy Perry? Will this be the second consecutive hit for Katy Perry as a featured artist (after "Starstrukk" with 3OH3!)?

Blah Blah Blah should be Kesha's next single, in my opinion.

Sweet Dreams has finally sold over 1 million copies in the US! :yahoo: :yahoo: Yay! :dance: :dance: :cheer: :cheer: :wub: :wub: :) :) :w00t: :w00t:

100 / Lady GaGa - Poker Face 90 / David Guetta & Kelly Rowland - When Love Takes Over 80 / David Guetta - Sexy Bitch ft. Akon 70 / Black Eyed Peas - I Gotta Feeling 60 / Lady GaGa - Bad Romance 50 / Lady GaGa - Just Dance 40 / Pixie Lott - Boys & Girls 30 / La Roux - Bulletproof 20 / Taio Cruz - Break Your Heart 10 / Calvin Harris - I'm Not Alone

Beyonce - Broken Hearted Girl (It wasn't promoted as much as her earlier single from I Am Sasha Fierce, so it peaked at number 27. Not a bad placing but should have been in the Top 20, at least). Frankmusik - Better Off As Two (Killer song and I thought it can do at least number 12) Duck Sauce - aNYway (One of the best dance tracks of 2009 and thought it can do Top 15. Charting at number 22 is beyond me. Especially since it (EDIT, actually topped the UK Dance Chart) peaked at number 2 at the club charts) Agnes - I Need You Now (number 40?!?!?!?! Really? I was predicting at least Top 15)

Great new club chart entry for Beyonce and Lady GaGa! :dance: :dance: :w00t: :w00t:

Not sure about other sites, but NZ charts does count airplay data as well. So, maybe that plays into it. Mind you, airplay is only worth 25%. http://rianz.org.nz/rianz/chart_facts.asp
