Everyone should just download Someone Like You anyway for lolllllz

I wonder what will eventually replace streaming?

Any news on Nick Knowles? :)

First time in ages when I have no idea what will be #1! Exciting :)

Mary Tyler Moore has died - so maybe an entry for Buddy Holly by Weezer :P

It's going be a two way battle between Salena and Danyl I think....

How did everyone do on Popmaster btw?

Peter Sarstedt has died - hope Where Do You Go To (My Lovely) makes some sort of appearance - doubt it though :/

haha there's my answer!

Is Robbie Williams "Love My Life" going to chart do we think?

I suppose you could link Rockabye to the Nativity and make it a Christmas song :)

Let's get it to #1 ;)

And I hope How Does It Feel makes an appearance in the top 1500....now THAT would be a great X Factor Winner's Single!

He actually rhymed motorcycle with Michael...brilliant

Does anyone know which act has sold the most singles without ever reaching #1? Thanks!

Well there's one act that beat Oasis with 27 (if you include re-releases, but not digital re-entries)........

Or The Jam with 18?

What about Blondie? 17 top 40 hits.

Does this have a chance to go Top 40? http://www.facebook.com/pages/Get-Sex-Pist...lweddingboredom

I've seen threads discussing the biggest selling single to miss the Top 10, Top 20 etc, but what do people think the biggest seller never to have had any kind of chart position (not even in the T200) is? My guess would be "She's Electric".

Man in the Mirror could have been the 1100th Number 1! :angry:

So 9 records (10 if we count Fairytale of New York - which I very much doubt), have already reached 1 million since the BBC Chart in August 2010. Surely the rate is only going to increase with a steady stream of downloads pushing a fair few contenders over the line. How long do people think it will take to get 150 or 200 million sellers?

Has Someone Like You passed I Gotta Feeling yet? Must be nearly in the all-time top 50 now!
