  1. Tub Thumping by Chumba Wumba Hedonism by Skunk Anansie The Ketchup Song - Los Ketchup The Fast Food Song - Fast Food Rockers Amnesia - Chumba Wumba (Not totally sure about this one) New York Mining Disaster - Bee Gees
  2. Adele will have a couple of big days sales, but is certain to tail off by Saturday, whereas Jesse J will remain about the same and Lady GaGa will get a boost from the Grammys which were broadcast tonight. I predict on Sunday 1. Lady Gaga (100k) 2. Jesse J (90k) 3. Adele (85k)
  3. There appears to be a typo. Wiley's song is Never be Your Woman. The original version of Number One Enemy is by Daisy Dares You; I am not aware of any fake versions.
  4. The IPL is being broadcast live on YouTube. Don't know if one has to pay though.
  5. I thought it was Where is Captain Kirk by Spizzenergi
  6. Didn't like it at all I'm afraid. Too many singers singing one line each just made it sound disjointed and a total mess. Agree that they could have halved the number of artists and had them singing a verse or chorus each. Can see it being number 1 for just 2 weeks.
  7. The physical has only 7 tracks, although the American version has 1 bonus track and the Canadian version has 2 bonus tracks. I guess the I Tunes version includes Common Denominator.
  8. My daughter managed to see Justin Bieber today, and believe me, there were around 2,000 screaming teenage girls there going crazy about him. This is probably why his tracks were downloaded enough to get to the lower end of the I Tunes chart. I don't think he is making any other personal appearances so I would expect those tracks to start dropping down in a couple of days. The album is a 2 parter with the second half being released in America in March. Part 1 only has 7 tracks on it and only lasts 26 minutes which is probably why it is only £4.99 on I Tunes and £5.80 in Tescos.
  9. It didn't go straight in at number 1. It re-entered at number 28 on the chart announced on June 1st 2008.

    In the last update, RATM seem to have gained a little ground on The Climb, but when most the people who download The Climb are out of school, it will pull away again I think. I agree with the principal of RATM, but I think there were better songs which could have been released. It couldn't be by any artist who is likely to be invited to appear on the X Factor, but 2 suggestions of Christmas songs are Christmas Wrapping by The Waitresses which despite being very well known, only reached number 41 in 1981, and Christmas Time by The Darkness which narrowly lost the last true race for Christmas number 1 in 2003. If they had to go for a non Christmas song, preferably in the rock genre, what about Afterlife by Avenged Sevenfold. Despite failing to reach the top 150 when released last year, it is a brilliant rock song.

    Is that latest update correct? Can't believe Peter Kay has fallen from 11 to 14. I would have thought it would be number 3 or 4 by now.

    BEP's had a huge lead on Friday's mids so I think it is a racing certainty that they will go back to number 1.

    Jules Rimet was a person. He was president of FIFA when the first World Cup was contested, and as he was the brainchild behind it, the trophy was named after him.
  14. Because it featured on Big Brother tonight. (Seriously)
  15. I actually thought the sales should have been 20,900, not 2,900 for Mr Hudson last Tuesday. Regarding the current chart, JB had no sales on Sunday and only reached the top 10 on Monday with no physical release or other versions of the track being available. Number 30 sounds right to me and I would expect the popularity to fall away by the end of the week resulting in a position of around 15 to 20.
