15. Jay James - I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles) How on earth is this awful, dull version that high? Crazy!

Two years today we were on.... ONE!!!

Considering she's like 15k ahead of her nearest rival and has the highest weekly sales since about July (don't quote me on that as I have not sat here going back through all the sales posts), I think it's a bloody good showing. Its a brilliant debut album and she's done incredibly well for herself. For me she's definitely one of the biggest successes of the year with this and Ghost under her belt. I imagine she will get an X Factor slot to keep this selling over the Christmas period and another boost with singles next year. But yes, all in all I think she's doing very well indeed and basically walking it!

I think The Saturdays themselves would admit to quite a few of their releases being a desperate attempt for a number 1 but that's a different story :P For me it's usually odd collaborations that scream desperate. Maybe not for a hit but to stay relevant. Madonna is the most obvious case and it was cringeworthy. Maybe Celine Dion and Ne-to... She had just had a hit but that album seemed to be trying to make her relevant again. By the way, I totally agree that Katy Perry was far from desperate with Roar. More like she was rolling around in all her money from the last album and just wanted to piss about with some tigers.
