It will be between Bruno, Buble, Olly and 1D.

Rihanna? Again? :huh:

 

The Power Of Love :cheer:

Apparently each finalist is assigned a different winner song like they did in 2010.

Can we avoid using the word "Chav" in this thread please! Thanks

Thank god someone has spitted it out! It was becoming annoyingly annoying.

OMG P!nk's performance :wub: "Try" for #1! :w00t:

The John Lewis advert is on! :w00t: Grab that #1 Gab!

I really enjoyed Tulisa's performance :wub: Hopefully it gives a big boost.

"The Power of Love" for #1 :wub:

 

I don't mind if Olly gets it for another week either, as long as it's not Bruno Mars.

X Factor song spoiler for tonight:

 

 

Union J will be performing Beneath Your Beautiful so expect it to shoot back to #1 tonight?

 

 

Other song choices:

 

 

James: Power of Love & One

 

Jahmene: At Last & I Look To You

 

Chris: You Raise Me Up & Haven't Met You Yet

 

Union J: I'm Already There & Beneath Your Beautiful

 

 

:lol:

The lyric book has a few personally signed and annotated bits yes. Shall I post a few pictures for you?

Yes please if you don't mind :wub:

Is there anything personally signed by Olly included in that deluxe box set? I'm thinking of getting it but since I have the signed album already, I'm not sure if it's worth to get the box set.

Its been around for ages! I can't say I have personally ever bought a single after an X Factor performance...anyone else?

I don't think I have either, but I think the majority of the public only discovered "Beneath Your Beautiful" after that X Factor performance. Wasn't it like #82 or something on iTunes before it was performed?

 

In general an X Factor performance does give the song a boost, but sometimes the impact is very minimal - No Doubt, JLS, and to some extent, Rita Ora and Little Mix.

:puke: at the Bruno Mars song being at #1 at the moment, thankfully Olly is still 15% ahead combined.

Now it would be a joke if that flopstar Leona got to perform on the final with her sales.

That's exactly why she needs the slot.

My current Top 5:

 

01. Pretend It's OK

02. DNA

03. Change Your Life

04. How Ya Doin'?

05. Stereo Soldier

 

The only thing I don't like about "Pretend It's OK" is its slowly-fade-away ending, they should have ended it with their powerful acapella harmonies like they did in "Wings" and "Make You Believe".

Just gave the album a quick listen. It has more ballads and I expected/

That bloody Bruno Mars song doesn't deserve to be in the Top 3 <_<

I think Olly will beat Rihanna easily. I expect 100k album sales from him at the very least.

I think it should depend on how much the featuring artist has contributed to the song. If a song would have charted as high or sell as much without them, then NO they shouldn't be given the full credit. But if the featured artist has made significant impact on the song then YES.

01. Olly Murs - Troublemaker

02. Bruno Mars - Locked Out of Heaven

03. Labrinth - Beneath Your Beautiful

04. Rihanna - Diamond

05. One Direction - Little Things

06. Gabrielle Aplin - The Power of Love

07. PSY - Gangnam Style

08. Alicia Keys - Girl On Fire

09. Robbie Williams - Candy

10. The Lumineers - Ho Hey

 

 

1. (for 5 pts) Which song will be #30 next week? (Artist name and song title needed!)

Ellie Goulding - Anything Could Happen

 

2. (for 3 pts) How many new/re/chart entries will be altogether in the top 40 next week?

4

 

3. (for 2 pts) Which album will be higher next week: Girls Aloud – Ten or McFly - Memory Lane: The Very Best Of ?

Girls Aloud - Ten

I was hoping he could beat Cheryl's opening sales :(

I suppose that's a typo on the title :lol:

Come on Olly, do the double! If One Direction could do it there's no way you can't!
