I'm pretty sure this will be La La La's seventh week top 5? 1-2-2-2-3-5-5 Unless you meant that it would be the sixth week in a row that it stayed in the top five from the week before, in which case sorry for correcting you! :lol:

I hadn't heard of this until today, when the tracklist for Now 85 was revealed and this is on it. Have to say it was a bit of a shock, usually when a song gets put on a Now album when the tracklist is announced before its release, it's a single which has a lot of hype around it, but I haven't noticed any for this. It looks like it will do well though, if they've put it on the tracklist!

Laura Palmer is going to be one of the unluckiest songs not to make the top 40 - it's been hovering around it for ages and has got so close, but I just get the impression its chance is up. You never know though...

Daft Punk may actually be out of the top 10 this week, but on sales high enough to normally be top 5. To be honest, I'm not that worried about the song getting loads of weeks in the top 10 as long as it sells loads (which it has).

I still think the Wanted are pretty sure to be number 4 ahead of Naughty Boy. They may have dropped fast (as predicted) but let's not forget the pre-order sales and so on. At the beginning of the week they had a pretty big lead over Naughty Boy and even now they're only on 44% of Icona Pop compared to 50% for La La La. It seems unlikely to me that they'll drop, but I could be wrong. (I'm not a fan of the Wanted but I feel that if somebody makes a prediction that's not entirely likely and bases it on the fact that they like/dislike the song, I should say something :lol: )

I really hope it's not to do with combining streaming - not even sure how that would work anyway. I like the whole "if this song sold 200 more copies it would've been top 10" and so on, having a sales based chart is more interesting in my opinion, even if sales end up small in the future! In any case, I don't think they're going to reach that point just yet - especially after the last few weeks when sales have been so high! I agree that it's probably announcing Get Lucky to have passed a million. :) Edit: Or maybe it could be something to do with banning fake versions of songs from the chart (ie cover versions released before the original?)... That could be wishful thinking.

Frank Turner in the top 40! :o It's interesting that this is doing better than Recovery for him as a post-album single, but then again it is 59p. Really hope it can become his second top 40 hit (and peak at higher than number 40 to become his highest peaking single too!)

Bleep test for number 1! :D

I still think there's a good chance that the Wanted could be number 3 on Sunday, with pre-orders and EP sales, which will.i.am doesn't have. It all depends how quickly they fall. They certainly won't be lower than #4! ;)

Icona Pop 2 This seems to be gaining faster and faster, pretty sure it'll be number 1 by late morning.

So, Kodaline are probably going to end up at number 3 then... *Buys 50000 copies of album* On a more serious note, well, you can't win them all. I'd just hoped that for once the general public would buy what I wanted them to, but that never happens! :P

I hate it when I wait such a long time for an album I absolutely love, and then it doesn't get to number 1 - not that getting to number 1 is necessary to be successful, but it's just such a good feeling - especially when, if Kodaline get number 2, it will mean all three of my favourite albums this year (so far) have peaked at number 2. Ah well, might as well prepare myself for "God" getting to number 1 :P

It would appear that way, but it's slightly worrying how at about 11am Kodaline were 1 and 5 and J Cole was number 6, and he's risen incredibly quickly. You just never know, still, I agree that Kodaline should be much bigger physical sellers.

Dammit, when Kodaline got to number 1 I was really happy, and now it's been taken away only an hour or two later! :(

Nope, the videos out are all either fan-made or edits of the 1-minute clip they released. I think the one on the music channels is the edit of the clip!

When IS the official video for Get Lucky coming out? They filmed it about two months ago! :wacko:

I love how out of all the songs she played for the "ones to watch" only one of them is even going to be in the top 4! :lol:

What I want to know is, who's bought Carry You this week? I'd have thought anyone who wanted it would have it already ;)

Based on the number 100 being on 0.0164 now, it looks like Robin Thicke is finally beginning to fall, and quite quickly too. I'm sure he'll get another week over 100k and easily block Jason Derulo and Dizzee Rascal from number 1, but it's going to be a close battle with the Wanted next week I think!

Only one position below its debut in the top 40, 33 weeks ago :D Admittedly if I hated the song I'd be as annoyed as everyone else, but I love its success!

Oh, how did I guess? :lol:

So we're up to 25 and STILL only two songs with less than 10 weeks top 40. Ho Hey next, anyone? :lol:

Official Charts just tweeted that Still Into You is Paramore's second biggest hit with 144,000 sales to date :)
