She much prefers red meat steak, didn't you know :P

I'm sure there's a "yea-h" in there too :P

So Jessie is now gaining - 55% of Adele's (single) bar, up from 52/53% in last update. EDIT: As already mentioned in Bray's edited update to his last post.

Ahhh, right yes that does makes sense - I thought you actually put your face really close to the screen and tried to count each individual pixel! :o And thought it was extremely impressive you'd managed to count 900 odd of them in one go!

Damn you Lady GaGa!!! :mad: :P I would have had a much better result if she *hadn't* have appeared in the top 10. :( But then, I suppose everyone else would, so it would all have been the same relatively. :grr:

It has happened in part already (i.e. the climb from its lowest position of 54) due to the debut of the video online. The next part will be through repeated TV Airplay, which won't have kicked in yet as the video only debuted Friday morning online and won't have hit mainstream high rotation TV Airplay yet. I'd imagine the TV Airplay effect will really start kicking in today, tomorrow & Thursday - should return it top 20 on iTunes with ease. Why are you measuring the pixels? They're all the same size, right? :unsure: Or do you mean you *count* the number of pixels in each popularity bar? Surely an easier way would be to just put a ruler against the screen and calculate the same quotient as you would with the numbers you obtain from the pixel count?

Neither do I - she's a fraction away from top 10 now and the minute she gets top 10 I predict she'll be #3 within 5-6 "normal" selling hours (i.e. not including the middle of the night!).

Why does that matter?! :unsure:

Lol, you're unrelentless. But good value nonetheless - I also did enjoy your Katy Perry "live" video the other day - it was you that posted it, wasn't it?

Fantastic - I heard SLY on Capital London this morning, so looks like the inevitable airplay is now kicking in. See you in 14 weeks then when your self-proclaimed hype is mis-matched by Adele's lack of ability to endure 15 weeks at the top of the singles chart with "Someone Like You" :rolleyes:

Spiidey's Chart Singles Prediction Game Chart Sunday 27th February 2011 :cheer: :yahoo: :dance: :cheer: WEEK 08 IN 2011!!! The predictions are broken down into two sections:- SECTION A In this section, you will predict where 14 songs are going to be in the following Sunday's Top 75 chart. In this section, you should predict for each song a position between 1 and 75 based on where you think that song will chart within the Top 75. If you think the song will chart outside the top 75 (i.e. position 76 or lower) you should use the notation "75+". The point scoring for these 14 songs is:- 10 pts if spot on with your prediction (therefore a maximum of 140 points to play for in this section);9 pts if your prediction is out by 1 position, 8 pts if your prediction is out by 2 positions, down to 1 pt if your prediction is out by 9 positions and zero points if your prediction is out by 10 or more positions;If you think a song will not make the Top 75, you can predict that song to be 75+ (i.e. any position outwith the top 75). If this is correct, you will get 5 points;If a song charts in a position between 76-84 (e.g. 77), and you have predicted that song to chart at a position between 67-75 (e.g. 70), you will still score the "normal" points - in the example given, you would score 3 pts;If a new single is pulled from release or non-chart eligible then everyone's prediction for that question will be void and everyone will be awarded 5 points;Due to physical singles sales declining I have scrapped the old rule of awarding points should the physical release be postponed so long as the download release goes ahead as scheduled.+ SECTION B In this section, you will predict the answer to THREE bonus questions (by answering i., ii., or iii. for question 1, and "Yes" or "No" for questions 2 and 3). Each bonus question is worth 20 Pts (therefore giving a maximum of 60 points from this section).

Even this early, I'd be astonished if the album doesn't get to #1. I voted for 200k+, but having thought about it a bit more she might *only* do 150-200k. Definitely 100k+ though. Her album sales last time were astonishingly consistent and not at all front loaded; clearly that will change this time around in line how the opening of her single has panned out. I still think she'll be a steady album seller, but whilst I think 100k+, I can't rule out even 200k first week. Depends how big Judas is - if it is as big, or bigger, than BTW, then it'll make for a massive opening for the album.

Heartbeat/Tragedy by Steps, looked like it was heading out the top 10 but then the Xmas/New Year party season flipped that on it's head, it shot back to #1, spent an eternity in the top 3/5/10 and went on to sell over 1 million

Isn't it only just turned morning in Oz/NZ? If so, it was released in the middle of the night, so its no surprise really its still so low.

As a Leona fan, it always saddens me to say it but MMH is genius :)

Who climbed quicker than her previously?

Wonder if we'll be onto February iTunes thread part II tomorrow?

Oooooh, its getting hot in here *takes off shirt* :o

:rofl: No. :P

Erm, duh. 5pm - 2 pm = 3 hours.
