Little change to the one posted above a few hours ago.

As expected.

No it's not, but somewhat irrelevant here as the thread/poll is for the Top-10 Contenders for the week 21-27 Feb.

Telephone has had a March release date for some time now. The situation was with Gaga being in the Uk and promoting on the Brits the song would have an impact on the top10. As it turns out the Brits promotion of Telephone turned out to be a bit of a disappointment.

Leona still #33 Telephone now firmly established in the iTunes Top40 after Hoover just outside for weeks.

Surprised no Top5 for JLS – One Shot Alicia Keys - Empire State of Mind

If it's the same mp3 it counts only once. If you are buying a different version, like first time you bought the radio edit and second time you bought the album version then it will likely count twice (there are exceptions when more then three versions exist - depends on the OCC info)

Flo/Diz still increasing ....in a florence tone....Woooohoooo! Wooooohooooo! :P ;)

There is a thread already about this for the UK http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=107452 I believe that charts is very relevant today. It proved itself in the UK by a push to get the Xmas #1 last christmas. An extra half a million sales(and £100K to charity) that would not of happened without the competition of a chart. The reality singers you refer to, those have a negative effect on real talented people being able to enter the music market.

Yeah, I think FloCal has done about 15K today, being generous and multiple that by 4 days totals 60K sales.

Florence/Dizzy are double the others now.

Owl City is not falling really, the single version(now at #21) is rising in the chart while the radio edit falls. Overall Owl City is #2.

Owl city is now easily #2 when combined and seems to be pulling away. Or is it Helping Haiti dropping? :unsure:

Heading for double the pop bars of the next best I think.

#2 or #3 Can't catch Helping Haiti with it's physicals I don't think. May not catch Owl City either, although I expect Florence & Dizze to have double pop bars of everyone else sometime over the next 24 hours.

I think you mis-interpret the charts here. There are plenty of tunes that don't make the higher positions of the charts but are discovered over time and sell gradually, exceeding the sort of sales that you see from Florence+Dizzee over the next few days. The reason for the Florence/Dizzee mashup charting high is that many discovered it at once, as it didn't exist before and therfore wasn't available to buy over time.

Loads. Many are in Top10 now but have physicals out next week. In addition there is releases from Leona, Chipmonk, Sugababes and several more.

Unlikely, as Owl city are outselling Helping Haiti on iTunes, note the second version of the single in the mid 20's.

Goosh they are! What a big jump in 15 minutes.

So fast can hardly keep up with it!

Premier 3rd of March more likely. It also takes some time for the video to have an impact. Don't get me wrong it will likely be #1 when released in March but not Top10 in the week of death.

It's not about the award, but the performance. Alicia's single increased loads as did the Jay-z version. And don't forget she has the #1 album before the brits anyway.

We can now write off Ke$ha feat. 3OH!3 - Blah Blah Blah Glee Cast - Don't Stop Believing Lady GaGa & Beyonce - Telephone Leona Lewis - I Got You And add on Lemar

I think it will be Florence and Alicia with no one else even being near.
