11 to 17 in one update for rihanna - ouch! Hard is doing well to say its getting hardly any airplay.

No1, its getting proper hyped up.

Its ok, not terrible, not fantastic. I went top 20 - think it will peak at around 13. Tbh i dont understand why they are releasing this because its pretty obvious it won't do that well.

I love this, walks allover bad romance, its just a quality track, doesnt try too hard like BR does. No1 i reckons.

I think hard is a bad choice for uk, hope they change it.

Its quite funny that for the weeks before christmas, all acts battle so hard for number ones. Then as soon as its january, any of the acts could have walked it. I mean i dont think bad romance, tik tok and MMH are particularly big right now, its just there's nothing new out there atall to overtake them.

Cant believe MMH is still no3, done so well.

I like it but not sure how well it'll do, top 5 at best i think. I am going for top 5 though.

Parachute has held up well!

I went for top 30, predict 25-30. Its not bad, nothing special.

I think rude boy is important in that it shows the album is not all about moody, deep, emotional, self orientated tracks. Rude boy is a lot more commercial and accessible than hard. I think hard will do well as a single but much later on.

outlook, thanks for doing that animation.

Love it, i went top 3 though its probably more like top 5. And jark, couldnt agree more, dont think hard would work here and fire bomb and photographs would be great singles.

Not same.

All these famous young people dying is awful, this year alone, jade goody, stephen gately, now brittany murphy :(

Man, i didnt know so many guests read this? Do we think a link to this has been posted somewhere big?

I really cant see alexandra or cheryl having a number one with their singles, i think joe will sell well into january.

Its so sad for mini viva, really hope there next single does well. Aslong as we get an album, thats all that matters to me. Such a fresh and fun new act.

Yay for cheryl :D No comment on mini viva :(

I am not the biggest alexandra fan but she was amazing on paul o grady. Its a much better song than bad boys.

Can i ask an honest question, why are you always so negative in situations like this? You were the same when the black eyed peas were battling it out with leona, for the first half of the week you said BEP would never do it and look what happened there. RATM is still no1 in the mids and their lead is increasing on itunes.

RATM has a huge lead on joe now, its crazy really!

I think a lot of people are misinterpreting what this campaign is about, for most people, its not about doing a young geordie out of a number one, nobody has anything against joe in particular. Its all about the hope that someone beating the xfactor winner will finally bring a proper xmas no1 competition again, some of the best songs of all time have been xmas number ones, none of them being xfactor winning songs. Joe being no1 will have no effect on how well he does in the future, its all just a silly charade that has got tiresome. The winner of the same show obviously going no1 every year. Its boring basically.

Because they like the song and want it now :blink:
