I love Will and think he's incredibly talented as a singer and an actor, but I had to laugh at this post. I don't hate Leona, but I do think she's incredibly over-rated. It's sad that already she seems to have peaked and is on a downward slide. That's the danger with such a huge initial success, it's not always a good thing. Some of her fans however seem incredibly in denial. They are celebrating a no. 14 for a second single off a second album. The album sales are pretty static, which is what the record company will fret over most. And before I get told off for a Will and Leona post, this is my first and last word on it, I felt it needed saying, right! :P (edit to apologise for all the 'incredibly's)

I really prefer I got you to Outta my head, which I think is generic, derivative and a luke warm attempt at being a bit more 'rock'. Still, we all have our different tastes :D I got you has a great chorus, I find myself singing along.

Thanks Dave, I agree, as someone in that group I find radio 1 juvenile, and radio 2 fogey-ish. I oscillate between them though, as I hate commercial radio :(

So what main radio station is supposed to be catering for the 26-50 age group then? Radio 1, for teens to 25, and radio 2 for 50 plus??? I thought radio 2 was for over 25s?? Sorry to go OT, but I'm puzzled :unsure: Thanks for the info Dave, interesting read as usual.

I'm really impressed with Lemar's climb :D He's been snubbed by radio one and two, and I couldn't see him in the top 50 airplay chart at all! Hope he continues to stay in a high position. On the other hand, Leona is no. 10 in airplay, but nowhere near the top 40 as yet :o

Sadly I'd expect Lemar to climb to top 40 and then start to drop. I'd be surprised if he goes top 20 by the next sunday tbh. Unless he has some TV lined up? As for Leona, I can't believe she's dropping down the chart, when her video is now finally out :mellow:

I do agree on your comments on the 'song' chart Dave, and the demographic of downloaders. I think album charts are where musical interest is really focussed in the general population. By the way, surely there are several faster/higher sellers this century than the Haiti single? As a Will Young fan, I get a little annoyed that his record of 1.1m physical sales in one week seems to get 'forgotten'. I'm sure there must be others too?

No, it's 108 at the moment.

That would explain it :blush:

Should Leona be worried? 107 :unsure: What about Lemar? Is he in the chart yet?

OK thanks, but why??? :wacko:

I don't even know what the 'campaign' is :blush:

LMAO :lol:

OK, thanks :)

Thanks, I always read this thread Do you have album info as well? :blush:

Thankyou Dave :)

I hope he sells well, as long as he doesn't beat the 1.2million that Will sold (all physicals!) in his first week :) . That was a phenomenon!

Thanks Dave. :D

Thankyou, interesting info as usual. I thought Robbie would be higher :mellow:

Leona's sales have to be disappointing relative to the hype and advertising, and to her first album sales. When you start out so high, it's very difficult to maintain.

Apart from Robbie and Buble, all the guests on X factor have been female :unsure: Interesting times!

Mika and James Morrison flopping badly. I love Paulo's song, I hope it makes the top ten.

Where's James Morrison? Thanks for all your work Dave, interesting :)

I'm loving both the new songs :D

I feel quite smug as I voted in the 2-5 category, more out of hope than belief :D
