I would also mention Hangover by Taio Cruz as well. I'd imagine it will be Avicii Vs Taio for potentially the first UK #1 of 2012. Gotye is an obvious hit IMO, Radio 1 are bound to support it and the video is quite unique. It wouldnt surprise me if they cut down the first verse though (for radio). It really wouldn't surprise me if it reached #1 either. I did think about Marlon Roudette but not sure if would do well here. As for Geronimo I actually think it could do quite well here but like goodelta said, it probably wouldn't get a push here so we will never know. Your Da One by Rihanna and Domino by Jessie J are potentially big hits as well too.

Hi Hits - Hope you've been keeping well :dance: Here are a few comments:- 01 (01) Ed Sheeran - Lego House (02-01-01) [3 wks] - Great song- prefer it to A Team now! 02 (02) Rihanna feat. Calvin Harris - We Found Love (01-01-01-01-02-02) [6 wks] - Obsessed with this, love her. 03 (15) Florence & The Machine - Shake It Out (16-16-12-18-15-03) [6 wks] - Grown on me again, its a good song 04 (07) David Guetta feat. Usher - Without You (08-08-07-04) [4 wks] - I like this BUT Titanium should be released! 05 (03) Professor Green feat.

Kimbra - Somebody That I Used To Know (01-01-01-02-03-03-06-09-09-07) [10 wks] - I am obsessed with this STILL, in fact its one of my favs this year. I am so hoping this becomes a hit in the new year, judging from its success elsewhere I think it has a pretty good chance. 08 (06) Coldplay - Paradise (10-10-05-05-04-07-06-08) [8 wks] 10 (--) Bruno Mars - It Will Rain (10) [1 wk] 11-40 11 (13) Katy Perry - The One That Got Away (13-13-11) [3 wks] 12 (10) Lana Del Rey - Video Games (01-01-01-02-02-02-03-04-04-07-10-10-12) [13 wks] - One of the few songs I just don't get the fuss with :( 13 (--) Nickelback - When We Stand Together (13) [1 wk] 15 (11) Marlon Roudette - New Age (09-11-11-15) [4 wks] - Like this though not sure it would ever be a hit here. 19 (17) David Guetta feat. Sia - Titanium (04-03-03-05-06-07-06-08-09-11-12-17-19) [13 wks] 23 (22) Will Young - Jealousy (02-02-04-05-06-07-10-10-14-20-22-23) [12 wks] 28 (21) Jennifer Lopez - Papi (14-21-28) [3 wks] 31 (26) Bad Meets Evil feat.

Christina Aguilera - Moves Like Jagger [13 wks] [pk 05] - Shame this wasn't bigger for you, I'd say this will be my #1 of 2011 followed by On The Floor, Rolling In The Deep, We Found Love, Someone Like You and Somebody I Used to Know PRE-RELEASE CHART 01 (01) Will Young - Come On 02 (02) Flo Rida - Good Feeling 03 (--) Aura Dione - Geronimo - I absolutely love this, again, with the right promo I really could see this being a hit here. 05 (05) Olly Murs - Dance With Me Tonight 10 (--) Ricky-Lee - Raining Diamonds - I like this, her performance on X Factor was good.

I love Geronimo and am glad its having success in Europe. I do hope it gets a UK release early next year though, its catchy enough to be a hit here with the right push IMO. Guess we will see. Also surprised the full video hasn't surfaced yet, they are taking their time.

Morrisons are definately stocking it, its #10 in their chart with Jason Derulo at #1

Your right, it seems its stuck on 0.411 or thereabouts, so it looks like it peaking (unless I've spoken too soon). I guess M5 always have a weekend effect so I'd imagine it will be catching up from tomorrow, even if it happens quite slowly.

Is it me or is that lead beginning to slow up? Obviously Rihanna would never be able to sustain that leads for a long time but its barely going up now (wasn't it only .45 earlier?). It will probably climb bit by bit for now but it wouldnt surprise me if M5 began to get closer from tomorrow. I still think Rihanna will do it but possibly by only a few thousand.

Yes this Wednesday apparently. Its going to be a very interesting week. I mean MLJ has had a big head start and while I have no doubt Rihanna will make #1 on itunes during late Wednesday/Thursday it will surely need to do double of MLJ for the rest of the week to even stand a chance? Then MLJ will also have some sort of weekend effect so it could be quite close I think! Will be interesting to see how far ahead Maroon 5 will be tomorrow in the mids, just noticed its also #1 and #2 on Amazon (not that prob means alot)

I'm trying not to get my hopes up just in case something comes out of nowhere but fingers crossed. Its also now #1 and #4 on Amazon too (not that may mean much but still).

Its increasing isn't it? Next week could be quite close, I'd love MLJ to do it but I've always thought Sak Noel would likely be #1 for 2 weeks. Having said that, Sak's EP sales are decreasing and and I can see his lower versions beginning to fall after the weekend so it could go either way at the mo IMO

Unless its reverted, then it looks like Maroon 5 is gaining on Iris. This morning M5 was on 0.82 on pop bars, now its 0.88 so I'd say the X factor has been and gone. Of course my eyes may be playing tricks on me

Iris is now #1 :o

Just was announced that the new Rihanna single is out on 14th November according to Radio 1 therefore it won't be out next week. It is out the same week as the Children In Need track though so could be quite competitive that week!

Though I could be overestimating Dappy, I just have a feeling it'll be #1 and wouldn't surprise me if it gets close to or over 100k. Having said that, its going to be incredibly front loaded and it wouldnt surprise if Maroon 5 climb to #1 on itunes by the weekend again. Sak Noel could go either way but I suspect a #1 could be on the cards, especially as I'm sure there will be multiple versions on itunes (radio edit, explicit radio edit, original mix etc etc). Who knows though, there isn't much out the 3rd October so anything could happen that week but I suspect MLJ will be under 60k by then.

Why do I think Dappy could be #1? Because its a good song, getting mass airplay plus like other songs recently, has been held back months so will be incredibly front loaded, wouldn't surprise me if it gets close to 100k actually but we will see

While I would love Maroon 5 to get a week at least, I'd imagine Dappy could well be #1 next week (if not it'll surely debut at #2 behind OD). The following week Sak Noel could well do it and after that I doubt Maroon 5 will be selling that much to challenge. I think this was the last week it had any real chance it do it :-(

Completely agree that this is Maroon 5's last chance of #1. I'd imagine Maroon 5 will overtake The Sats in the next day or so. IF Pixie is still #1 by Thursday night then it probably will be #1 on Sunday but I'm almost certain Maroon 5 will catch up with Pixie by the weekend on itunes at least. I am actually surprised that Pixie isn't more ahead and its only gained 1% on Maroon in the last few hours, would suggest Maroon could even begin catching up in the next day or so. Does anyone know how big the gap got between Maroon 5 and Example?

I am also quite surprised about Ed and Example BUT I wonder if the Bank holiday weekend is affecting things in some way? IF neither get it, I hope Moves Like Jagger gets it just for shock value, plus it'll probably outsell everything that charts above it in the near future too (ie Emeli, Wretch 32, Calvin etc)

Hi Hits A few comments: 02 (--) Will Young - Jealousy (02) [1 wk] - Really thought this could have entered at #1 for you but really like it. 03 (04) David Guetta feat.

Kimbra - Somebody That I Used To Know - A #1 for me, already #1 in Australia and Belgium. Absolutely love it, didn't think much of it at first but its a grower, especially when Kimbra gets involved 02 (02) Pitbull feat. Marc Anthony - Rain Over Me 03 (--) Bad Meets Evil feat. Bruno Mars - Lighters - Like this 04 (--) Ed Sheeran - You Need Me, I Don't Need You - Love this, am really hoping this goes to #1 next week and hope it charts well for you. 06 (--) David Guetta feat. Jennifer Hudson - Night Of Your Life 07 (10) Nicole Scherzinger - Wet 08 (08) Alexandra Stan - Get Back (A.S.A.P.) 09 (--) Florence & The Machine - What The Water Gave Me 10 (09) Bruno Mars - Marry You

If people are looking at Livepopbars for Cher's lead, its been a bit all the place over the weekend (itunes has had issues updating) but I've just refreshed it and Cher has a HUGE lead Cher Lloyd Swagger Jagger 1.000000 JLS She Makes Me Wanna (feat. Dev) 0.585087

I agree, I think he'll probably release an EP with that version on as well (ala A Team and chart high in the Itunes Album chart). He will be coming from one of the biggest hits of the year, he'll be getting some hype as its close to the album plus it seems to be getting alot of love on youtube (twice the views that Example video has had so far - not that necessarily means much). I'd say CTWYKM sounded more of a #1 but you never know. SA will go top 3 guaranteed anyway.

Its awful yet annoyingly catchy

August is gonna be quite interesting with #1s but I think the Example vs Ed battle could be quite interesting. Everyone is predicting a pretty much dead cert for Example but I agree with goodelta and it wouldn't surprise me if Ed made it or came close. He's getting a fair amount of hype, especially now his fanbase is growing thanks to the A Team etc not to mention his new video has been viewed by almost 500,000 on youtube in 4 days while Example isn't even on 200,000 in the same time period (even if add together other edits Ed still has more views) so I think reckon Ed could be a dark horse. Also while Leona's song is really growing on me, I can actually see Pixie being the biggest hit that week and Saturdays haven't got a hope either. This is obviously just my opinion :unsure:

Hey, thought I'd post a few comments as I haven't done it for ages (one of best personal charts IMO) Likes/comments: 1. Ed Sheeran - The A Team (1) (CR-67-40-29-28-23-19-8-1-1-1-1-1-1) - This has only finally clicked with me recently, 6 weeks is impressive as well 4. Ed Sheeran - You Need Me (2) (CR-67-OUT-8-2-2-4) - I LOVE this, i only heard it the other day and I'm already addicted, I much prefer it to A Team so hope it can go to #1 for you at some point. I agree with what you said in the prediction thread-think this will give Example a run for his money and I actually think Ed has a good chance TBH. 6. Eric Amarillo - Om Sanningen Ska Fram (3) (CR-48-13-8-5-1-1-1-2-3-2-4-3-6) 7. Leona Lewis - Collide (NEW) (CR-7) - Liking this but I can really see Pixie beating it 12.

Sugababes - Freedom (70) (CR-70-69) - This sounds quite promising hope its big for them Ps I never commented on your all time chart but I found it very interesting. Its a shame you don't list your #1s in the thread. Have you ever posted all your #1s in a thread?

I agree. We will never know but I often wonder had televoting been around in 1996, could Gina G have won in 1996? She must have had one of, if the biggest Eurovision hits of the decade so it still feels unjust it only reached 8th :angry:
