At last some class, decent lyrics, good beat, love this song :)

Thanks, excellent. LIG was released much nearer to Christmas, so I think Echoes is going to sell better in the long run, which is great!

Looks like Leona is going to get no. 1 in Ireland then. Unless her d/ls are very front loaded. Has she done some promo over there?

Last time I looked at popularity bars, which was this morning, the tracks above Will are all quite close together. The album version downloads are just pushing it up. It's doing well on Amazon at no. 6, so maybe other d/l sites are better than itunes for him. I hope he will remain top 10 by Sunday, but I doubt it, his promo has ground to a halt for a while.

These seem low, maybe the bank holiday effect. Was expecting much higher for RHCPs :mellow:

I hope he gets the 34,000+ needed to make the 100,000! Thanks for letting us know. :)

Maybe because it's bank holiday today? How is Echoes holding up now that RHCP album is out? Is Echoes now no 2 on itunes albums?

How is Jealousy holding up on itunes? I can't view my itunes at the moment. I notice on amazon downloads it's risen to no. 7? Amazon seems a law to itself!

Can anyone put up the popularity bars? :)

I think Will would have charted much higher had his album not been out the same day as the album! All things considered he's done really well with this release, it's sold the album really well.

That's really good to see, thanks! :)

Radio 2 is much better than radio one. They A list great artists, and their presenters are far less irritating. The also play some brilliant oldies, like today they played 'I wanna be Elected' by Alice Cooper, not heard that for years, great song, great memories :) Radio one, on the other hand playlist Cher Lloyd! Nuff said!

He may have stood a chance of higher, had his single been released before his album came out. What a strange marketing tactic :huh:

Thankyou. Would Will still be no 3 if his different versions were combined?

People are downloading Jealousy from the album, as that has increased. Not surprised as it's a better version. I do hope Will will stay top 10 - or dare I hope, top 5 by next Sunday.

Well, I see your point, I'd go for that :P

Is James's song out next week? I thought it wasn't until sept?

Will looks to be winning that battle, he's no 1 on itunes, Wretch 32 is no. 10

Yes, Olly is way ahead at no. 1, but it wasn't a level playing field. However, I'm certainly NOT bitter, Will is still around and doing brilliantly after 10 years, having just released his best album to date, what's to be bitter about?! Olly is doing fantastically well, and good for him! If he is able to make it last like Will has, I will give him oodles of respect too :)

In one way I'm amazed that Jealousy is doing so well, given no airplay at all on radio one or capital. In another way I'm not surprised, there's been a huge thumbs up to the track from music reviewers and bloggers and on the internet generally. The album version of Jealousy is better than the radio edit, longer and meatier. Cherry picking the track may help the single as from tomorrow. I hope not though really, as no doubt Will and his record company would prefer people to download the whole album! Will seems particularly unconcerned about Jealousy charting, the most popular remix hasn't been offered for download, and the song is released just one day before the album. It's not hard to see the strategy is for pushing album sales. However, if the music is good, often tracks will break through in spite of limited exposure, as Maroon 5 has showed us this week. let Olly have another forgettable no.1, twittering away to his fans to download etc :rolleyes: . We shall see if he is still making the charts in 10 years time, when numerous new X factor alumni will have had time usurp! :)

Why is Will only predicted top 20 at no. 21, and Olly no. 1 when he's 37?

Yes it very much is more like Jealousy, which is probably why the free track wasn't on the album :)

I think echoes will do better. Thanks for the information

Thanks for this. Wow, that's great for Echoes in Ireland, airplay hasn't been great there, and as far as I remember, LIG didn't get that high.

This is what I think too. I don't know why people think Will would be so low in the album chart. :mellow: I think they are in for a surprise. I'm pretty sure it will go number one in week one, and then it will stick around the top 10 for months, it's really the most beautiful and perfect pop album, and its' not just fans saying that. The reviews have been his best yet by a long way.
