Given that the song has already been out for a while & sold a large amount of copies with big media coverage, radio play etc should Adele have sung the 2nd single from the album instead?

How much of a lead do people think Louisa will get of Bieber? she is talented but the song is very bland

the album is no.1 on all the pre order charts both physical & digital and has been for a few days I am expecting 400-500,000 perhaps more if she has an xfactor performance & promotes a 2nd single before

One of my favourite X Factor contestants- Hole in My Heart is the 1st single. What does everything think. I think it's really good potential number 1 7hiGI7-Vzmo

Ben Haenow has held up much better than expected looking at a 3rd week inside the top 5

Will Ben get a 2nd week. Currently on itunes Mark Ronson has 100% & Ben 60% and both are pretty stable now. Will the physical be enough to keep him at number 1 with all the shoppers and stocking fillers. The physical is number 12 on amazon and is also for sale online at Tesco and in the various supermarkets in store. Plus Ben will have media coverage from being the xmas number 1 and the TOTP performance on Christmas Day

Good for Ella Henderson being back in the albums top 10, Nicki Minaj & 5 seconds of summer not doing great could even fall out the top 30 by Sunday, Ed Sheeran could even get to 200k with weekend xmas sales

75,000 copies is pretty good. The viewing figures were the lowest this year so he isn't doing too badly. With physicals it is likely to get to 200k perhaps more and Sam Bailey only managed 150,000. It also has a chance of beating Little Mix who sold 210,000.

I don't think you can compare Sam Bailey to the competition this week, Sam Bailey sold 150,000 in total which will be close to what Uptown funk will sell so Ben will never get uptown funk down to 30% like Sam did as he would have to sell about 700k to do that but with physical sales could be looking at about 200-250k which is quite good considering the viewing figures for this series have been very low and the winners song is average at best

By my calculation when combined Olly Murs is no.1 Band Aid-100% Take That-96.58% Taylor (3 & 97)-90.27% Olly (5,38,39)-78.20 + 12.11 + 11.71= 102.02%

With people starting to buy xmas gifts now and likely good Saturday sales Olly Murs could hit 70-80k, surprised Take that are even close to Band Aid could have chance of keeping no.1 with band aid now falling alot

Take That doing far better than I expected could even overtake Band Aid after X Factor, Olly also holding up very well and still being successful after 4 albums is great for an x factor star and McBusted top 10!

when was the last time an artist had 2 versions of the same song in the top 10?

Cheryl has a big lead already even before xfactor tonight could have a massive lead after the show tonight

glad taylor got into the top 40, bit shocked the UKIP song went to 21 after not being in the top 40 yesterday. Does anyone know if BBC played the UKIP song, what the sales are and does anyone know how far Ella Henderson's sales are off the top 5 in the albums? thank you
