So glad it's likely to be top40 again! It does make you wonder who on earth had never head it before or owned it before? Old grannies watching the X factor?

There was a section on this in one of the Guinness Book of Hit Singles in the 90s. 'Brown Eyed Girl' is the most obvious one (only charting this year for the first time). Also 'Puff the magic dragon' which I don't think ever charted. Surely these will be the types of songs played on the radio show rather than obscure offerings from the likes of Atomic Kitten and Natasha Bedingfield that only some Buzzjackers will know!?

'Gypsy' by Gaga sounds like it should be a big hit and given a good video who knows?

If Lily Allen does return to number one it looks like it will be the first song to move from number 4 to 1 on its return

Shame The Killers weren't on a previous series that was actually any good

I know it won't happen but would be great if 'I Will Wait' could peak at number 12 for a third time!

Arghhh 'Ho Hey' is gonna climb again. They're performing it on the one show. Do they not have any other songs??

Good to see Ry X climbing to a new peak. Hope it keeps going

I can't believe Bastille are doing so well. The song is terrible - their entire album is better than it. I don't understand the love for it.

I'm very surprised at how well Haim are doing. It's not even that good really so it's weird how it's doing so much better than their other stuff. But I am pleased for them cos I quite like them.

I don't think Ms J has a hope in hell of getting number one but I may be wrong. I just assume Kings of Leon will get it

In what way was 'Sweet Dreams My LA Ex' innovative? Standard pop song really and hardly a classic.

Runaways was actually a whole lot better than Shot at the night. Suppose it just depends on what type of Killers stuff you prefer. This is a bit bland really - not single material I don't think. And Dustland Fairytale is brilliant.

What was wrong with Bones that it was seen fit to omit it? And tranquilze? Can't see it selling much as surely most Killers fans have they're albums and they more an album band anyway. Mind you I'm sure it'll be bought as an Xmas pressure for people who already have they're albums.

Haha just one second does it for me

1998 - Sex on the beach by T Spoon. There's a non number 2 for you

I loved their last two albums (and Alex's solo album) but just can't get into these new songs.

I think the lyric "Do you ever feel like a plastic bag" really struck a chord with a lot of people :lol: Also Firework has the annual sales boost of Bonfire Night in this country

I guess it's much easier to do that sort of thing with album sales being so bad at the moment.

I really don't think that ever happened. It only got to number 9 anyway!

Mr Brightside is the perfect song!

Urgh 'read all about it' is gonna come back now isn't it? Thanks X factor

Mel C, Travis, Stereophonics. Are we back in 1999?

I think Avicii could go back to number one looking on how he's gaining on Ellie

I hope so! It peaked far too low but I can't think of a bigger number 10 hit!
