iTunes Weekly Thread W/C 31st August 2014
They're #4 in the official chart update. It would take a hell of a lot for them to fall out the Top 10 by Sunday. If Union J can cling on, GRL certainly can, so don't worry!

Ffs. I think Sam Bailey will definitely perform at some point. They wouldn't just ignore their reigning champion. She may not release another single/album but she might record a Christmas EP or something. Similar to how Leona stuck out an EP in 2011 just for the lolz (and she performed 'Hurt' to promote it).

The Gorgon City track is one of my favourites of the year so far. So good. Been listening to it for weeks now and still not bored of it.

iTunes Weekly Thread W/C 31st August 2014
I don't feel like that's the case at all. I'm Not The Only One has been widely recognised as one of the strongest on the album (it was apparently picked by the fans, it got cherry picked the most when the album came out, critics have highlighted it as one of the strongest etc) so it really feels like the natural choice for a single. And the fact it's gone Top 10 despite the album already going platinum, and it's not had THAT much airplay or promotion is a huge achievement.

The way he spoke in that interview, it was as if he considers I'm Not The Only One to not sound like a single either. But I think hes completely wrong there. I'm Not The Only One is the standout track from the album imo. So what he considers a surprise may not be the same as what everyone else considers a surprise! He should release Like I Can. But I think it'll be Restart.

Won't Look Back is SO good. Superheroes is bland rubbish.

iTunes Weekly Thread W/C 31st August 2014
I would actually argue Won't Look Back IS an old hit of sorts. It's been on airplay for over two months!

Could this be the first week ever that the "sales" and "official" charts have a different #1? (Sales chart Superheroes, official chart Duke?)

For whatever reason, the public just don't seem to care about Ella (bar Waiting All Night of course). It's a shame cos she has an INCREDIBLE voice.

Round 3: LEAST favourite year-end top 40 single of 2013
Without a shadow of a doubt, will.i.am - Bang Bang.

iTunes Weekly Thread W/C 31st August 2014
Well prepare yourself to be very stunned indeed cos #85 on pre orders a week before release pretty much guarantees a top ten entry. I think it will be #1 yes, unless I'm forgetting some other big release next week.

Duke Dumont being released after what feels like an ETERNITY. Should grab #1 very easily :)

iTunes Weekly Thread W/C 24th August 2014
"Changing" is nearly top 40 with two whole weeks to go. Where will the pre order peak? Think it'll be Top 20 at least.

The only problem with 'Break The Rules' is that the lyrics are so cringey. It's catchy though, and I like the breakdown in the chorus.

Radio 1 played it a few weeks back. Very very strange song

iTunes Weekly Thread W/C 24th August 2014
Trying to remember off the top of my head everyone on that song... I can think of Kanye, Rihanna, Drake, Kid Cudi, Fergie, Alicia Keys, Elton John, Elly Jackson, The Dream... Think there's more, just can't remember who. Amazing song though.

Sunday Chart Predictions (Fri Update + Sales)
Sam Smith down to 11 noooo! This could be his 'Set Fire To The Rain' - two massive lead singles, a big(ish) third single but one that never breaks the Top 10! :(

That song sends shivers down my spine as it was on the playlist at the pub that I used to work at. Used to have to listen to it at least twice every shift, and I worked there A LOT.

Capital FM Playlist 2014
My issue with "Comeback" is that she's spelt it as "comeback" rather than "come back", ie. as a noun rather than a verb. Whereas in the lyrics ("they always come back") she's using the phrase as a verb, not a noun.

iTunes Weekly Thread W/C 24th August 2014
We haven't had a case of a random old track re-entering the Top 40 simply because it's become 59p in a while have we? Last I can remember is Where Is The Love about a year or so ago?

I just want I'm Not The Only One and Black Widow to go Top 10 this week! Think they both will.

Maps is actually not that bad by Maroon 5's standards. It's not exactly great, but it's not offensively bad like most of their other songs from the past couple of years.
