Good that his got 2 nominations but don't think he will win either of them.

James Arthur sold 187,000 so far, more than Leona, Alexandra and Matt Cardle at this stage. Gonna be big sales. http://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/j...ales-ever-1753/

Olly has another version at 20 which is 21% so he still ahead of Bruno.

Think Olly will do the double but don't think his album will match last years opening week sales.

Unless my feed has reverted, but Girls Aloud are down to 3. edit: back to 2, must have reverted!

Kworb has Olly 35% clear, guess with the X Factor performance could be an even bigger gap later tonight.

Robbie Williams at 3 now

So looking at that his new single will be called 'Troublemaker' featuring Flo Rida - didn't expect that at all.

He replied to somebody on twitter saying new single is out in November, guessing the week before the album is released. Wonder why he is only releasing 1 single before the album instead of 2 like the previous 2 albums?

Can't stop listening to this.

I think Rizzle Kicks said the other day they been asked to do the single at the Brits so i'm sure it will be HSAB

Releasing another single? Wow quite surprised

Official Charts gave away the #1 7 minutes ago on twitter when Reggie was talking to LLoyd. Surely should have waited!

Leona won't be number #1, X Factor winner's single will be.

Might be wrong but for singles iTunes has about 80%? Around that I think.

Why has Flo Rida been deleted?

Though would Olly have gone number 1 if Rihanna didn't perform on X Factor?

148k for Olly? :blink: didn't think he'd sell that much!

iTunes positions doesn't have as much as a impact on the albums chart as it does with the singles.

I think I read on twitter somewhere earlier, might have been his manager but they said he had increased his lead.

Surely its ok to say the chart position today since top 40 singles and albums is displayed on Radio 1's chart update website?

He would need to get a big big lead, OfficialCharts were saying it was outselling #2 by more then 2 to 1. Can't see him over-taking.

X Factor performance will give him a boost but cannot see X Factor Finalists not getting #1.

Rather Olly be #1 since Rihanna has been there already for past few weeks but would be surprised if she isn't #1.

Rebecca is the week after.
