Didn't know Stay was so high. Most people will have forgotten about that one by now I think. I love it though!

Oh god I hate this song too. So so irritating. Like sitting next to a little girl on a train and her singing an annoying nursery rhyme over and over again and you have no choice but to listen and endure it.

There's no denying she is a fantastic songwriter and has a very powerful voice. But I find her tone so irritating. And her diction is absolutely awful. I can't stand most of the songs she sings on.

Sorry if this has already been answered but why is Rumour Mill so high?

It'll depend on if it's any good. If it's good then it could be an instant #1. If it's crap then it'll drop like a stone. There won't be an in between.

I think that Broken Arrow song is the worst thing Avicii has ever done

I'm actually worried that Secret Love Song is peaking too early?! Could do with one massive impact later down the line (i.e. The Brits) to get it to number one. I f***ing love the song.

:(

Ella Eyre - Good Times being used heavily in an advert for Channel 5. One of my favourite songs of last year. Will be interesting to see how much it can climb

That Stooshe song is actually decent. I think they're brilliant. Their album slayed. WHERE IS THE JUSTICE?!

Stooshe's new one is good! They're very underrated imo. Their album is brilliant.

#56 Kanye West ft. Nicki Minaj - Monster Carpool effect! Proud to say I can rap that entire Nicki verse word for word as well. Best thing she's ever done imo. As a side note, when are the Santa hats gonna be removed from the directional graphics? Come on Buzzjack

Look out for Kanye West ft. Nicki Minaj - Monster in the Top 1500, after Adele did the entire Nicki Minaj rap in Carpool Karaoke with James Corden. Currently at #433

I think Tinashe is gonna have a big year. She's worked with Dr Luke on her next album and if All My Friends/Player are anything to go by, she's heading in the right direction for a big breakthrough. She is a "ready made pop star" if you'll excuse the cliche so it's only right that she smashes

Are the NHS Choir coming for McFly's record for the fastest falling number 1 ever?

Why have they still not deleted the single version of Hello? The album version would be a few places higher without it, right?

Feel sorry for those of you who have betted so much money on Bieber :( I was very tempted myself when his odds were longer but never got round to it. Glad I didn't now!

OH MY GOD. BRAIN WAVE Rumours are that Rihanna is releasing her 8th album on Xmas Day. Could this be a genius way of cashing in on the gift card effect?? Stick an iTunes exclusive out the day that thousands (or millions?) of people wake up with iTunes credit that they won't want to use on anything else in particular?? What do you lot think?

I'd say that's a perfectly legit number 1. A campaign would be a number 1 that comes out of nowhere purely due to a campaign of some sort. i.e. Rage.

Isn't it lovely that we're going to have a Christmas number one that isn't from a talent show, a campaign or for charity. The last time this happened must have been the 90s right?
