Guetta 3 Wanted 4

I think her chance has completely gone now. She's now almost 30% behind the #10 track and it will take her at least 2 weeks to make that up I reckon.

1 Cher - SJ 2 JLS - SMMW 3 Wanted - GYC 4 Guetta - LBG 5 Ed - TAT 6 Fresh - Louder 7 Nicki - SB 8 Beyonce - BTINH 9 Rizzle - DWT 10 Loick - HWR 11 Pitbull - GME 12 Katy - LFN(T.G.I.F) 13 Adele - SFTTR 14 Calvin - Bounce 15 Chris/Justin - NTY #1 Amy Winehouse - LIALG #2 Benny Benassi - Cinema #3 5 #4 6 #5 3 #6 Caro

I think she'll manage it. She's got a 21% lead just from the iTunes singles chart alone. If the EP in the album chart is added to that, I'd hazard a guess that she'll have circa 30-40% lead over JLS from the first 2 sales days. Most of Tuesday she should still have a lead, so will either gain more sales than JLS or sell the same; and with those first 3 sales days ahead of JLS, with the first 2 in particular being the strongest sales days of the week, I think she'd need to massively drop down iTunes Wednesday->Saturday for her not to be #1.

Rizzle Kicks - Down With The Trumpets 9 Katy Perry - Last Friday Night 12 Cher Lloyd - Swagger Jagger 1 Benny Benassi feat Gary Go - Cinema 24 Eminem - Space Bound 35 Jay Z & Kanye West - Otis 37 Anthemic Man feat P Money - Anthemic 47 Adele - Someone Like You 30 Six D - Best Damn Night 42 Foster The People - Pumped Up Kicks 20 Robyn - Call Your Girlfriend 57 Chris Brown feat Justin Bieber - Next To You 15 Alexandra Stan - Mr Saxobeat 18 Bruno Mars - The Lazy Song 25 #1 Odd #2 Yes #3 No

Both outside the top 300.

Plus the EP sitting at #5 in the iTunes album chart, the sales for which will be added to her single sales total.

Ouch, disastrous this week. :(

Damn, 2 positions away from a tied lead this week. Well done Jason - 2 wins so far this year!

She's #8 with a healthy lead over #9 and #10 so will be safe from the chop when Cher enters.

Super Bass is in the top 10. SFTTR isn't though

They also performed it on the X Factor when they were contestants; I think that also was partly (if not almost wholly) why it did so well.

Yep I thought that was going to happen as well. Adele still had quite a gap to jump when Pitbull dropped out the top 10, and I was sure that Amy was going to fall below Pitbull before Adele closed enough on Pitbull which would have meant Amy out of the top 10, Pitbull back in, and Adele stuck @ #11 again. There was only a small chance I thought of Adele overtaking Pitbull before he overtook Amy, but somehow she did it. I still don't think either Nicki or Adele will break the top 10 officially this week, as Nicki is behind Pitbull still, basically equal with Katy and Calvin right now (combined) and even though they're ahead of Amy, they#ve been behind for more than half the week and unless Amy drops massively, she'll remain top 10 as she is still #6 in the midweeks.

She's already #12 combined:- # Artist 1st 2nd Total 5 Beyonce 41.5719 - 41.5719 6 Loick 34.9691 - 34.9691 7 Pitbull 25.2743 8.5378 33.8121 8 Nicki 27.3888 4.7876 32.1764 9 Katy 26.4712 5.1067 31.5779 10 Calvin 26.2717 4.0894 30.3611 11 Adele 25.3142 - 25.3142 12 Amy 25.2743 - 25.2743

Managed to get the popbar numbers:- 7 Nicki Minaj Super Bass 0.273888 8 Katy Perry Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.) 0.264712 9 Calvin Harris Bounce (Radio Edit) [feat. Kelis] 0.262717 10 ADELE Set Fire to the Rain 0.253142 11 Amy Winehouse Back to Black 0.252743 12 Pitbull Give Me Everything (feat. Ne-Yo, Afrojack & Nayer) 0.252743 Adele just sneaking in there by the skin of her teeth! (0.1%!!!) :o :o

Anyone got the livepopbars numbers? I can't get it to update beyond having Wino @ #7.

What makes you say that?

I don't recall her ever being within 10% of the #10 track, so with her bar at 97% of the #10 bar, this is the closest she's ever got to getting into the top 10; the reduction to 79p is absolutely, 100% helping so she will definitely do it today. That was a bit of an error from me last night, damned iPhone, although actually looking back at what I wrote, it definitely is 100%, that booty is a fine piece of meat

Super ass is definitely going top 10, the only question is what will I knock out? Hope its Bounce, I'd like to see GME in there for a few more weeks

Thank u both for clearing that up; I'd wrongly assumed the Amy/Mark lead artist versions were 100% the same.

What is the difference (if any) between the two versions of Valerie - Amy solo and Mark ft. Amy? Because IIRC, they are both identical, therefore should be combined for chart purposes. Whereas BTB and BTB(D) are clearly different as the Deluxe album contains additional tracks, and therefore should chart separately.

Haven't they got the sack yet?

I've written on the cut out from the paper that i kept that it was Monday 8th May 1989 which I think is the paper date. It mentions I won the previous week's singles which must have been chart announced 30th April / dated 6th May. Cut out has Top 4 unchanged, Ferry Cross The Mersey, Hand On Your Heart, Miss You Like Crazy and Requiem being that top 4.
