Are the Single Charts predictable anymore
I agree with you. I thought Adele would hit No.1 and who knows if Nickelback will hit No.1? I think the charts are more interesting now with the addition of downloads. Before,a song entered the charts at No.1 and went out of the charts fairly quickly and you pretty much knew who the number one would be each week. Singles very rarely climbed up the charts a few years back, they entered at their peak. Basically if it didn't enter at the top, it wouldn't hit No.1. Now singles do climb so it's harder to predict their peak. Singles are also having a better chart life. Look at "Chasing Cars" for example. I Know it's down to downloads but i think an unpredictable chart is much more interesting.

Could Nickelback's Rockstar eventually peak at No1?
Well they topped the album charts with "Silver Side Up" in 2002. I would love to see them have a No.1 single too. :naughty:
