In any case, he needs to be >4.5K ahead today otherwise Ms Lewis is going to overtake him. I was surprised how front loaded his sales were, I had assumed Leona would be more loaded due to the length of time its been on pre-order.

@JAMESINREHAB only due to the fact that iTunes sales are missing for yesterday. He's actually extended the lead. I bet the lead today is 4.5K, if that's true, he may end up #2 after all.

Gap down to 3.3k.

The new Girls Aloud track is so poor, I don't know why people think it will make #1. :lol: at OP failing to put the most obvious contender, Little Mix, on the list.

Calvin has it in the bag now.

I am linking them, its very difficult for a singer standing at a mike with a guitar to come out with anything progressive.

So I had to go and do some research on Jake Bugg and...OK he's not as sleep inducing as Ed Sheeran. But he is still, man with guitar and he makes regressive music.

I'm just so happy we have a new Ed Sheeran http://r24.imgfast.net/users/2414/30/66/10/smiles/72558.gif

Ed Sheeran is a great talent? His music is a snoozefest.

If Leonas numbers already included the pre-orders then that is a disastrous start.

You need to know the percentile difference because an absolute number is only relevant if you know the volume. If its 2.5k ahead on 10K, then a 25% lead in sales is quite significant.

I don't see Jake being #1 by the end of the week.

She's #1 on Amazon ? Just been on there and she's #28. This is what happens when you release a bad first single.

That's quite bad that its so low even after an Xfactor performance.

TBH, anything other than Glassheart would spell the end of career. Are they really that stupid?

Every-bodies cover was better than the original, didn't Rowetta do one ?

It not being a very good record cost her the #1.

Its a snoozefest really TBH.

Diamonds is falling on Itunes now, PSY is catching up.

One Direction has a physical CD with posters in it.

Clearly people will see that Muse "Supremacy" is the real bond theme and not the Adele snoozefest. So this will be cherry picked from Itunes and be #1.

I absolutely adore the Coldplay/Rihana track and wish it would go top 5.

Chris Martin is pals with Gary Barlow. After the CIN concert he tweeted "Gary Barlow is my Hero". I guess Gary convinced them to go on the show, also the fact its now at Wembly in front of 10,000 may also have a bit of influence.

I hope SYCO keep the urban tinge that Tulisa has injected in to Littlemix. The thing I like about them is not just that they sing well, its also the way they absorb choreography so well. Their ET performance was just astonishing, right down to their expressionless robotic faces and even blinking in time to the music. I'm looking forward to seeing a live show from them, it could be outstanding.

But its still a better track than Pixies. Pixies song sounds like it was designed by committee.
