This reminds me of the Beyonce XO/Drunk In Love situation, Drunk In Love was the CLEAR favourite of all the tracks on 'BEYONCÉ' but the label were pushing for XO to be the lead single. But Drunk In Love being so popular totally overshadowed it, and both tracks suffered as a result. In the same way, the label needs to realise that Thinking Out Loud is the obvious favourite track on 'x' (besides Sing of course), they need to push 'Don't' back, and give Thinking Out Loud all the space it needs to shine. Otherwise, both tracks are gonna peak in the mid-teens.

Break Free is so good, it's a shame it'll probably peak officially at about #15 now.

Really hope Lovers On The Sun doesn't go #1. Just mindless EDM. The absolute worst kind of music.

Yeah but what they meant is that if Counting Stars had never existed, then radio wouldn't be touching Love Runs Out.

Anaconda is OA/OS then. Will be interesting to see how this one does. It's complete trash but I kind of like it in a weird way Predictions: Am I Wrong - #1 Love Runs Out - #4

Was just about to comment on how much this has shot up. Is this just from the video being released? Without a doubt the best song on the album. Hopefully it'll at least go Top 10.

She is credited as a joint lead artist on Gecko.

Becky Hill has a number one single and another (uncredited) Top 10 hit under her belt.

And rightfully so, it's the "Waiting All Night" of this year

All it does is guarantees a higher chart placing. It must surely affect overall sales though.

I was just about to post something similar. Why on earth has this flopped so hard? Like you said, it has ever element of a stereotypical hit single. It has a wide appeal, good airplay, not released on a dodgy week etc. yet it's flagging so much! Watch it get 59p'd in the next few days.

I find this song so irritating. The chorus is monotonous and the lyrics are annoying as f***. How many times do they want to say "pretty"? And they look like five random girls who've met on the street - no chemistry between them at all, and they look too old to be making the music they're making. Hope they don't do well. But I think this will be Top 5, sadly.

Oh yes, Think About It is brilliant. I also like the weird Get Lucky cover on that album too. Pretty much all of the rest of the album besides the singles is crap imo

#9... Then will drop fast

I think this shows Naughty Boy isn't as huge a producer as we may have been led to expect with the success of La La La. La La La is genuinely one of my favourite songs EVER, and I really love 'Home' too - but besides those two, his songs aren't really all that. 'Wonder' and 'Lifted' suffice, but other than that, he's not that great really is he. He licked Emeli Sande's arse too much before his album came out, and when his album did actually come out, it turned out to be really crap.

SOON?! This Naughty Boy track has been around for three months now. He first uploaded it to his soundcloud at the end of April. This release has been soooo long over due. I would LOVE Zhu to be #1 this week as I am obsessed with "Faded". Will be very disappointed if Magic! get it.

Of course there are things more irritating in life. What a ludicrous statement to make. All I was doing was saying that your overly colourful and over frequent updates, on two songs that we are all fully aware of the progress on already, were starting to hinder my enjoyment of this thread, and I (correctly) assumed that others felt the same way. If you're so offended by such criticism then I suggest you don't post in Internet forums in the future.

I can't be the only one a bit sick of all these multicoloured Cheryl/Rude updates now? Sorry

Just heard that Zhu track for the first time and I f***ing love it. If that gets to #1 it'll be one of my favourite number ones of the year for sure.

Whatever happens, she won't have a recording contract this time next year.

Wow, quite a clearout this week. Duke Dumont's song will be another #1, everyone seems to love it, and Capital have already started playing it.

It's cos it's the absolute best song on the album by a country mile! Also, Gorgon City - Unmissable is apparently out on September 29th.

Top 5, I really like it

All I care about this week is that Charli XCX goes Top 10 at least. Would also like to see MK do well. Cheryl/MAGIC I couldn't give two shits about!

Not this remix though
