are you sure about The Saturdays? The album isn't exacting setting sales records right now....

I liked Mark Goodier and Scott's good as well. To be honest, i don't really mind Reggie and Fearne, Reggie on his own is boring though. I would prefer Scott full time

So Cheryl is really 3+1. This is gonna be a strange chart this week! How come there are two Cheryl entries? Anyone know?

Thinking about it - next year the final could be pre-recorded with a live results show on Boxing Day, that would work

could do it Boxing Day?

it would be better if the final was the week after christmas and the single first week of january - sales that week are usually higher than christmas week now - what with parents getting their children itunes gift cards for christmas

Other - Fairytale of New York please! It would also be a celebration for Kirsty who next year would have died 10 years ago - and the annervsary would be on a sunday when the chart is announced. I can't think of anything better than to have Fairytale of New York as christmas #1 next year

Fight For This Love: 697, 742 (platinum - 4th biggest selling single of the year) 3 Words (single): 109,983 3 Words (Album): 523,361 (platinum - 14th biggest selling album of the year) Parachute: (approx 5-6000)

I liked someone's idea earlier about Fairytale of New York for next years campaign. There's so many good reasons for it - 10 years since Kirsty passing, its a well loved christmas song, but also an anti-christmas song as well, deals with dreams and also reality - and theres no way Simon could knock it and saying that its bullying the x factor winner for those reasons above. And who knows, if we're still suffering in a recession in christmas 2010 - with probably a conservative government - well it just fits

That made me laugh more then it should Bought Cheryl's 3 Words single - love it!

Funny, I'm sure thats what Joe has been doing. And its not for them to decide anyway, their PR schedule would have been planned ages ago. Also, anyone think that yeah this campaign has been great, but i reckon its also raised Joe's profile and sales - i don't think anyone would have thought he could possibly be dancing aroudn the 500K mark on Sunday, but looks like its a possibility

^ sorry, but the likelyhood of that happening is extremely slim. I bought mine yesterday as well - love the fact that its snowing at christmas with the first song playing!

Blimey these charts aren't even about music anymore - people are buying Joe cos they don't want Rage at #1 people are buying Rage cos they don't want an X Factor #1 - does anybody even like what they are buying? R any of you either side going to be listening to these purchases in 4 weeks time? Ive never known anything like it - the charts are becoming ridiculous. Its constantly the blind, leading the blind following the deaf! Both sides are just being hypocritical. I wish George Michael would get x-mas #1 with December Song - a song a like and would be happy to listen to in July

If you go to the main chart page - there is an Itunes thread which has the top 1000 on it. You can look up anything from there

Thinking about it, did Simon ban Louis from saying "I want everyone from Scotland/Wales/Newcastle etc to pick up the phone and vote for you" - i don't remember Louis saying it this year.

Singles: Joe Mcelderry - The Climb Pet Shop Boys - Christmas (EP - don't really know whether to put this as single or album?) George Michael - December Song Albums: None - plan to get St. Trinians 2 soundtrack Downloads Joe Mcelderry - The Climb Sarah Harding - Too Bad Sarah Harding - Make It Easy Sarah Harding - Boys Keep Swinging

I can see both Joe and Rage falling out of the top 5 next week. Would love Cheryl to be #1 next week

wow - i stopped French when i was in Year 9 - i carried on with German - and Year 9 was 8 years ago - and i really can not tell what that article is talking about!

I love how I've bought the Pet Shop Boys EP today - with the first song "It Doesn't Often Snow At Christmas" - and its bloody snowing! I love CHRISTMAS!

Joe's won it really - he'll catch up today

I just said in the itunes thread how, even if RATM doesn't go to #1, its brought back the chart battle. I reckon though, next year, the winner might have to settle for #2 as others are really catching up now

You know, even though everyone moans about x factor always being #1 - this RATM has provided alot of the excitement back - even if it doesn't make it - its become a chart battle again. The big question is: who's gonna be x-mas #3?

HA! No ones voted When You Believe and Against All Odds

The only time X Factor 2008 did better in the ratings was the Saturday show wasn't it? And 19.7 million is overnight figures, I'd imagine its pushed over the 20million mark once its all finalised. (I know these can vary as i remember seeing Doctor Who overnight figures and then a week later the final figures come through and they're usually about a million higher)
