Because on the few occasions a British act has something good to celebrate the BBC should be promoting it - it's part of it's remit. It's the BBC not the ABC(American broadcasting corporation). See the long discussions and problems of having the US artists dominate the UK charts with the few exceptions of X-Factor karaote singers.

No Lemar. No Florence and Dizzee. https://www.bbc.co.uk/complaints/forms/ http://www.bbc.co.uk/info/statements2008/radio/radio1.shtml

#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.

Do we know if Helping Haiti is selling many physicals? What % approx?

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.

Agreed Just noticed it changed to #5 after I posted.

You've Got the Dirtee Love (Live At the Brit Awards 2010) - Florence + The Machine & Dizzee Rascal #6. Going all the way to #1 it lloks like!

Is the main chart here based on actual plays or audience listens or neither?

Owl City #3 & #23 ==> #1 when combined! Alicia Keys #2 Lemar #5 Florence #10 Jay-Z #13 Lady Gaga (Telephone) #36

Alicia Keys to #6 Rihanna to #10 Saurdays to #13 Lady Gaga to #18 Florence to #27 Jay-Z to #25

Posting in here as well as iTunes, because somewhat relevent to both threads. http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j313/predicta/iTunes/iTunes2010Feb1617Brits.gif Alicia Keys #4 -> #3 (almost #2) JLS #11 ->10 Florence and the Machine #24 -> #12 Jay-Z #31 -> #16 Lady Gaga (Telephone) #40 -> #37

iTunes only add at midnight or an hour or so afterwards(not before).....could see in 10 minutes from now. eq6-dUEeVDc

For me, the highlight of the night was Alicia Keys.

Well I think she blow it tonight. Alicia Keys heading to #2. JLS back in top10. Florence atm upto #14. Jay-Z - ESOM upto #17

Both where really poor :( Such an opportunity to promote telephone. I'm amazed how wrong she managed to get it.

Thank you Arrs. If you did 2008 also, they are lower again.
