I'm guessing Sam and The Womp will feature on future similar lists? :rolleyes:

Grenade will be number one for a few weeks. That Adele song is boring as is the kesha one. I can see the Bruno Mars song having a large appeal

'Toca's Miracle' by Fragma!

Leona's cover is such a dirge that I'm surprised anyone with taste would buy it!! I'm not surprised at all by her low position!

Also, Fragma-Toca's miracle was released in 2000!

yawn

Usually I can understand why, love it or (usually) hate it, a song has got to number one..... But how on earth did Calvin Harris get to number one with this terrible, bland, un-catchy song. Who is buying this rubbish? It's a shame cos I used to quite like his stuff.

Since when did Calvin Harris resort to making scally generic dance music in the form of 'i'm not alone'?? Makes me nostalgic for the days of 'acceptable in the 80s' :-(

A definite number one.

'Bruises' by Chairlift reached number 50 in autumn 2008. It was featured on the ad that featured the 4th generation ipod nano! And it's a great song and if you haven't heard it I would recommend it!!

If I remember rightly, weren't Oasis number one on the first days sales of 'I'm outta time' and look where that ended up (number 12)!

I think sadly this will be their first song not to reach the top ten (ignoring that St Trinians song which wasnt really a single) The albums sold so well, so who (other than the avid fan) will buy this single? Therefore, top 40.....is not a good single but sounds great on the album!

Was it 'My weakness is none of your business' in '98?

No Mercy - Where did you go, and please don't go. No wonder they had no more as they both sounded the same.

- A once a month edition to sum up everything that's been going on and what to look forward to...biggest hits of the month.....an hour long edition. - Put it primetime on a saturday with all live performances from big names. -Watch the prime time audiences flood in.

Agreed!! All the above artists mentioned have flopped because they're new albums are c**p and fans of their previous work know this. I think previously, artists could rely on their loyal fanbase to be successful album after album and so could get away with releasing any old rubbish, whereas nowadays if an artist/band doesn't come up with the goods then people will go elsewhere because there's so much more choice available. Take The Kooks, The Feeling, The Fratellis, Razorlight and Kaiser Chiefs as mentioned above....their first albums contained hit after hit and it's obvious why they were so popular (even though they might not be to everyone's taste it's clear to see why they were popular) But listen to their new stuff and it's clear to see they just don't have good quality songs to do well with these albums. Diehard fans or optimistic fans will buy their albums in the first few weeks but those that wait to hear stuff of the album before buying will just not part with their money on lacklustre releases. And therefore, that's why the likes of Take That, The Killers, Kings of Leon, etc are doing so well and selling....because they've got the good quality of songs to appeal to anyone who appreciates what makes good music.

I agree that there's too many albums all at once but in a way it does create a kind of excitement about music at the moment I think. Maybe I'm biased as The Killers have just released their album. But I also think, like the previous comment said, that some of the albums will gain more momentum in the new year. Things like Keane which is a really good album is bound to sell more as people hear more songs off it. I guess it will seperate the wheat from the chaff. And I certainly wouldn't call a number one album underperforming! Maybe Razorlight have done worse than expected but this isn't such a bad thing. :yahoo:

Here here about The Killers! Sometimes artists/bands can becoming gradually more and more popular without reality tv! And seriously, Leona's version of 'Run' is absolute rubbish!! Snow Patrol's best song has been slaughtered! Could Leona not find a good enough original song?

Come On Killers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please please please get to number one cos it's the best song this year!

Can The Killers make it to number one next week? What do you all reckon? I think it will definetly rise despite the fact there's no CD physical release (only 5000 limited edition 7"..one of which I now have! :rolleyes: ). I think it's excellent sales this week will continue into this week and I reckon they'll have similar sales this week especially as the albums not out til next monday. Whereas other songs such as x factor, beyonce and definetly T.I.'s sales will start to wane. Of course there's always Leona to contend with grrr What do you all reckon? I know it's unusual for a download only song but I think it could buck the trend and rise....hopefully to the top spot!! :yahoo:

Finally 'Human' is number one on itunes!! Hopefully it's char position will increase as well by Sunday!! I really think this song deserves to be number one!!

Here here! Except I'd choose Kings of Leon as my favourite. But all the rest you mentioned are great too. Been some good number ones this year!
