Hopefully Adele doesn't block Calvin Welch when Sweet Nothing is released. The song is just perfect! I didn't think I'd say this after I heard Let Go & We'll Be Coming Back but SN is the best single released from this era.

#2 Behind Rihanna on Sunday.http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/korn0818/7d85a11b.png #1 the week after. I'll be so p'ed if she blocks Rih.

When does the iTunes update happen? Could this be linked to that.. :s

Adele is at #280 in the US (songs) with Skyfall, just of pre-orders. But I don't understand how it is charting considering it is a single pre-order. How come songs don't chart in the UK when they are up for single pre-orders? EDIT: Oops, didn't realise it was being discussed a page back.

I'm slightly confused when it comes to the iTunes chart and the percentages that we get. Does: actually mean that 1D are selling 25% less than Rihanna atm?

I heard the new JLS single for the first time earlier on Radio 1. I wonder if they will support it.. I've got to give it to them, it's a much different direction from them sonically; Justin Timberlake-y. I'm not sure if I think it's complete tripe or genius (exagerration) yet though. Diamonds is Nick Grimshaw's R1 Breakfast shows "Big Thing" this week so he will be playing it everyday, and talking about it a bit more than he usually does with other songs. Get that 40% lead over 1D Rih! :w00t:

COME ON RIHANNA! :P I went to check Kworb expecting 1D to have a 20% lead over #2 to see Rihanna getting ready to snatch it! :w00t:

How come Madness has climbed so much? Is this all to do with the video being released? :wub: I can't describe the song without using the word "epic". Cause that's what it is. And the video has conveyed that epicness perfectly.

Wow, she did terrible!

Is it way out of the picture if Rihanna jumps over 1D before they're able to get above Psy? :P :wub:

I hope they playlist Alicia Key's new single. :wub:

So in what occasion do Official Charts have to combine tracks together? Cause I remember back when we used to get Tuesday updates sometimes there would be (I think) B-sides in the low top 40 and members would say that "they'll be combined for tomorrows official update" or something of that sort. Or am I just imagining this? :P

I thought the Official Charts combine B-sides sales with the actual single?

You should really give 'urban' UK fans more credit. :P If and when labels push these urban songs in the UK they tend to do relatively well. It's only because the labels usually pushes more pop singles over here which do well which make people think that if those artist ever release an 'urban' single it will flop. Saying that, I cannot imagine a Pop Kendric Lamar single. :P EDIT: Top 3 for 1D and #9 for Rihanna now. Diamonds for #1 in 2 weeks! :w00t: All depends on how Leona & SWM will do.

I think SOS and Umbrella went straight to #1 on release in the US. ^

Lol, what? :lol: Cannot wait to see this.

Lol, what? How? :blink:

Born This Way was scheduled to be released on the Friday though. It was scheduled that way for quite a while as I remember the monsters going mad about her not getting a full week of sales in the US. I don't get why everyone thinks Diamonds will be held back. We should wait till Sunday to see if Def Jam simply waited for the new tracking week to release it and if it is not released, then mass tweet Rihanna to release it over here. :P

Yay at Rihanna straight in at B! Wasn't sure if R1 would playlist it this week.

If Def Jam gets Rihanna an iTunes banner on wednesday, I don't see why she wouldn't be able to get to #1 this week. I can see Capital and Radio 1 hammering it from the offset. Just because it's not going to be a dance-pop song doesn't mean that it won't be incredibly radio friendly. Even when all the other singles from a Rihanna album aren't that successfull, she is basically always guaranteed a massive lead single (Russian Roulette was under different circumstances).

On the Scott Mills breakfast show last week he said that if he gets to #1 officially he'll come straight over to the UK. :w00t: :w00t: Live PSY performances in the UK! :lol:

Did Fun. pefororm on Jonathan Ross last night? :wub: Yes at SN getting a new peak! We are Young to enter back into the top 40? :wub: :w00t: :P

Have they added the 1D song before it's been premiered to the general public? The hype for this song.. :rolleyes:
