People should read this, it throws a whole new light on what the goverment was up too this past year. It was allways ever about the endgame and never regret what you get wrong along the way, https://news.sky.com/story/covid-19-rejecte...supply-12204044

God I hope Avicii starts gaining fast with the gift cards otherwise we are about to get the most boring #1 of 2013.

I think I'm one of the 5 to get it right, I might have put <100K though, can't remember, I should have posted it.

Was the Pharrell track an anti X factor single ? I don't get it, I mean its not horrible or anything, It just doesn't sound like a #1 contender.

So Tim was ahead of Lilly on itunes for most of the week, significantly by the end of the week and yet she still trounced him. It looks like itunes is no longer a reliable source for the prediction of the final chart. I think other sources are overtaking itunes, the Google play store is probably now a significant factor.

It can't be 0%, as overall play store sales are due to overtake Apple store early 2014, but includes game and video as well as music.

Does anybody know what percentage of overall single sales the Android Play store has? I presume its some way behind Itunes, but there does seem to be an awful lot of Android phones around.

I wonder if Radio will take note of the sales numbers and decide they are flogging a dead horse.

Just noticed, this is track of the day on Radio 1 playlist page. Looks like they will be playlisting it. http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/playlist/

I expect Girls Aloud to end up at #5.

PSY's longevity is incredible. I expect Alicia to drop, its a bit boring.

The only factor of concern here is that the Girls Aloud song is just plain rubbish. Why people thought it would hit #1 in the first place is beyond me, I'm amazed its even in the top 5.

I thought Naughty Boy would be doing better. They should have put Emilie Sande ft Naughty Boy, probably #1 then.

Huh? Was in Tesco's last night and they have Muse as album of the week, I just can't see Muse bothering or needing payola. You can be sure they have a detailed analysis of what their shoppers like and dislike, they are interested only in shipping units. Interestingly they do not stock last weeks or this weeks most likely number one albums.

Strange that they are not selling Red in Tesco's
