biffff

If that's the case, then that would ruin the chart because any old Joe Bloggs could use 7 digital to manipulate the top 10 to his heart's content. I've heard of Mcfly fans texting a number for a song weeks before it's release date to guarantee them a good chart placing, but at least they actually PAY for it. I'd like to believe the OCC aren't as lenient as that. Hopefully, the fact it's cleared 20k is mostly down to the fans going out in force to buy the physical CD, I think I heard it was No 1 in the CD single midweek chart. (Not that that counts for much these days) Also, the extra mixes available on I tunes may have helped it's cause. Sorry for banging on about this but surely a music chart should be an indicator of what the most popular songs in the country are, not a tool for GA fans to try to maintain a meaningless streak by wasting an hour buying the same record for 0p. If it worked for them, whats to stop other loony fan groups doing the same? The whole credibility of the chart could be at stake. Okay, rant over.. :angry:

Okay, I've just been reading a load of Girls Aloud forums and they all seem to think that by getting free downloads (Don't ask) from 7 Digital by using the Virgin7 trick and using multiple email addresses on Mailinator they can help push Untouchable towards the top ten. Somehow, I very much doubt the OCC would allow free purchases to count towards the chart, let alone 100 copies from the same person, but they seem to think they have a very real chance. Can someone shed some light on whether these downloads count towards the top 40, or is it just pie in the sky hopes from GA nutters?

Why not let other people make your mind up for you, as often seems to be the case around here :P

.. But they also prevented Rachel Stevens from reaching the top spot, so it kind of evened out.. :)

Why? I didn't say I liked the song. He can vomit to his hearts content, I was just saying I think it will be successful. But give me WITL or DL ANYDAY..

This has SMASH written all over it. It'll probs be among the 5 best sellers of the year..

I LOVE the scene in Almost Famous when they're all singing along to it on the bus :D

Shouldn't your username be imawaffler? You can have more than 3 characters you know. Go and edit it now, there's a good chap..

I don't know, but my newspaper seems to be missing an article on an ornithological subject. Hmm..

I don't know, but in the bum chart she's second only to Ms Lopez. You're welcome.

That just proves my point. Only 12 out of 31 buzzjackers thought it stood a chance. But as I said, it's pointless having an argument over this. So let's all go and worship at the feet of the marvels that are Dappy and Co!!! Er..

Are you sure about that? I remember hearing a few dissenting voices when I first suggested the prospect. Anyway, who cares? I plan to enter the prediction game later on, and I have a feeling I'll do quite well this week.. :D

I don't mean to gloat but.. I TOLD EVERYBODY ON HERE THIS SONG WOULD LIVE UP TO IT'S NAME!! Not that I think it's a musical masterpiece, but I know a hit when I hear one. Combined fanbases of Tinchy + N Dubz x catchy tune = guaranteed smash. Take that doubters ^_^

It's so fashionable to knock Chris De Burgh.. AND YET HE DESERVES EVERY BIT OF IT. BLEURGH!!!! :puke2:

And we LOVE Lady Gaga :)

It's filmed on a Thursday, so he must have been in the audience. Either that, or he's highly delusional.

We'll see won't we. And BTW, there's no need to post more or less the same message twice. :)

Nah, it'll be Tinchy Stryder and N-Dubz (Actually just Dappy) with Number One (appropiate name). I know a hit when I hear one.. :)

How can Amazon 29p tracks be eligible for the chart, when it quite clearly states on the OCC's website than for a downloads inclusion it must be at least 40p?

28'000 friends.. And only 2 of them look like they're buying his single this week. If his mates won't get it just to help bump up his chart position, why should the average member of the public? ;)

Is that supposed to be a take-off of the Noisettes song?.. .. Oh dear. :lol:

Don't worry, I'm neutral but I just voted PF for you ;) All square now!

I love the video, especially the twist at the end. Not one of their best songs though. Let's say 11 just to pee off those fanboys desperate to 'preserve the record' :P

What's the fuss about Calvin Harris? It's just a boring track without even a half decent chorus. Not a patch on "Dance With Me" ( Of course it COULD grow on me. I've only heard it twice. I reserve the right to change my opinion in a week when everyone else loves it ) ^_^

WOW! It's probably selling around 200 copies a day on I-Tunes going by previous statistics. GROOVY!!
