thank you Suedehead. Good to see you continue to work so hard on these forms and I regularly read your weekly chart commentary posts on the front page, they're a great read and I'm a stats fan myself too.:)

Not posted in a while so hello to members from years gone by (and some old chart mod friends) and hello to all new posters and those I haven't conversed with here before. The Wham! vs Mariah chart battle this week is interesting. Is Mariah 79 or ~400 ahead. If someone has the breakdown, what are the splits in the totals between SES and Sales? Trying to work out of a Wham! ITunes/sales push could be enough to take it for them.

Anyone know of a version of Mariah Carey's Auld Lang Syne without the "Happy New Year" references? Its for a wedding, last song.

Can a track that's been ACR'd to 300:1 get back to the 150:1 ratio? If so, how? And do they then have 3 weeks grace again before ACR rears its head, or if they drop sales in comparison to the market the following week are they straight back to 300:1?

I calculate Ariana is selling 200% more than Despacito, meaning if that sold 50-60k last week then Ariana is on for 150-180k this week at current levels. Clearly that uplift hasn't/won't apply for the whole week, but even with a huge tail off it should probably sell at least 100k minimum, which with added streams, putting it in with a real shot of #1 overall.

Think you also need to factor in the album versions of Shape and Galway, and the Stormzy remix version of Shape, all on iTunes in the top 100, into the calculations as well. I suspect that will make 2, 3 and 4 neck and neck.

Were they performing or just chatting?

Wow!!!!!! :yahoo:

Never thought I'd see the day where Steps could be hitting #1 on iTunes. Ever! Loon mode fully engaged. :arrr: :o :wub: Go Steps!!!! :w00t: :w00t: :w00t: :cheer: :cheer:

All I Want For Xmas Is You

If the concert is 10 December, can't she perform on the final on the 11th?? It's not that far to fly from Hungary to London!

Fleur not really dropping markedly and the 48 hour immediate impact of the X factor performance will have now been completely removed from the pop bars. Wow!!!

Haha. I'm still none the wiser though!!!

What it's all this "coming for weaves" all about? And when/where did it start?

#1 with well over 120k - possibly nudging 200k

Leona :up:2 Pharrell :down:3

Can someone please provide a list of top 10 iTunes albums?

#1 Leona 1.0000 #2 Avicii 0.9174

Can't believe LeLe is #1!!! Never thought I'd see the day. *Goes into meltdown*

Come on LeLe!!!! :cheer:

That plus Capital now playing her .... that support is HUGE!!!!!

It has no chance next week - the X Factor Winner is released on Sunday.

Can't see her overtaking Hey Brother officially, but #1 on iTunes is an amazing achievement!!! So happy for her :)
