Isn't tomorrow the live draw for the semi's and the big 5 in the final? Will be quite telling I think (as always). If UK or France are early on in the final they could be screwed (though presumingly lines are open from the beginning again?). Its nice to see thats its quite wide open this year, theres about 6-8 songs could do it IMO

Next week could be close between The Wanted and Adele but it wouldnt surprise me if Adele beat them. I fully expect Nicole to go top 5 too. I see Jennifer Lopez's label keep getting the 'cover' deleted off itunes, one last week was deleted and now the one that was around the #50 mark has been too. I see another one is shooting up. They may as well just release the official one :lol:

Susan Boyle & Peter Kay - I Know Him So Well* :lol: I am assuming this is for Comic Relief?

I'll say top 3 for now but to be honest I wouldn't rule out #1 just yet. Just because its bound to get heavy video play, radio 1 have playlisted it and its already going to #1 in Europe. Add to that there really is not alot out on the 27th March or even previous weeks (apart from Comic Relief). Think it may be a little too early to say though.

That is good news, I can see it going top 3 actually (#1 is a bit bold at this stage), as its now out on 27th March and there really ISN'T much out at all so who knows. I'm pretty convinced it'll end up #1 in several European countries though.

I hope your right about Blue, I wonder why they are leaving it so late to premier it though? Its gonna be one of the last isn't it :o

I'm finding the talk of potential winners quite interesting so far. Certainly could be more wide open this year than it has been for a few years (considering Fairytale and Satellite were miles ahead). My favs so far are Estonia and Denmark, Rockefeller is very instant and I can see it making the top 10 surely? I quite like the Austrian song also, and I personally hope it gets to the final at least. I personally love Popular but not sure if Europe will vote for it (though I'd imagine it'd get a few votes from several countries in the west). The second Semi is gonna be tough and there WILL be a shock exit, isn't there always :cry:

You predicted the correct top 2 Delta :dance: Really liking A Friend In London, I can't see a win atm but I can definately see this doing very well, top 10 finish?

Its been on Irish itunes for a few weeks now, but has been hovering close to #100 and below though.

Oh they do duels? So it isn't necessarily the top 2 that go through from second chance? How unfair After tonight do all the songs become available on youtube? I am also presuming that they will be available on itunes. Will be interesting to see if Eric takes a lead on itunes. Anna had a big lead last year didnt she?

Its still #2 on German itunes? Chris Brown still has a fairly big lead and its still stating on the front page that Chris is still #1?

Quite like the Love Generation song but it'll probably be Eric Vs Sanna in the final though I really like both songs. All songs will be available at the weekend won't they? Kinda ruins it in a way though as last year Anna had a big lead on itunes so her winning wasn't really a surprise. BTW is anyone having any issue with the a 'certain' download website? All week its been saying my daily limit is full yet I haven't downloaded anything :s

It is an odd system. I'd imagine Gaga will be #1 on the download chart and overall, was the best seller of the week but because it made less money doesnt reach the top. I guess the reason for that rule was to stop the decline in the physical market (i think a fair amount of people still buy physicals) but as downloads are clearly more popular now it really needs to be changed. The 9 week rule did make sense but then as downloads have taken over, 12 weeks later the songs would only re-enter anyway. Anyway, glad Sunrise Avenue has charted, love the track, its almost #1 on itunes there now. I think it could be this years Rasmus, Mando Diao (Euro rock song). I also thought Lena could be #1 next week but its now falling quite fast on itunes and musicload (guess most people are buying the album?)

It does seem quite backward, the chart runs from Friday to Thursday but that chart isn't 'officially' released until the following Friday (it does leak earlier though on Tuesday). Both Switzerland and Austria are released on the Wednesday. Nice to see Bruno is #1 and great entry for Hurts, LOVE that song. Judging by itunes, Lena could reach the top with her Eurovision entry but it doesnt has near enough the appeal to be there long IMO. New songs by Sunrise Avenue (great euro rock song), Black Eyed Peas and Jennifer Lopez will be massive hits over the next month IMO judging by airplay and the first two high positions on itunes/musicload.

Well accordingly to this site link, September sold 102 copies on the 6th Feb to be #1 on Swedish itunes, so it probably sells around 700 copies for #1 (obviously it may be more or less depending on the week). I dunno how reliable the site is but it seems quite accurate to me (it lists all countries for itunes on the left), its a good read whether you believe it or not. In Luxemburg you only need about 10 copies a day to be #1 :P

Great to see that they have finally combined the charts, just a shame its meant many songs of the past few years will have been denied their #1. On the Floor is gonna be MASSIVE in Europe IMO, I can even see it being a #1 in several countries too.

Is there a link to the clips? I can't seem to find them!

Ahh well technically it was released but did nothing here. It was available on UK itunes when it was a hit in Australia but got taken off during the Summer (usually a sign a UK label is planning a full release like Riverside). Looks like it IS finally getting a release but it hasnt got a firm date yet though.

Is it me or is Static Revenger & Richard Vission starring Luciana - I Like That no longer on the schedule? Should hopefully get a release I'd imagine it was played on Radio1s Floorfillers last night.

I agree with goodelta, this has alot of potential but it is slightly annoying how late we are getting it. I am still surprised the label didnt take advantage of an early January release, it could have been this years big January dance smash. If it gets the push and promo I see it going top 5, if not top 3 at least IMO.

Interesting to see Adele pulling closer then, I guess it should be noted that she is #1 on Amazon and also has a physical too, maybe thats making the difference so far?

Agreed that Bruno will probably overcome Adele though Amazon has Adele at #1 so anything can happen.

I really love the track now, though I'm not expecting a #1 in the UK next week. I'd expect it'll debut top 3 on hype, hover mid top 10 for a few weeks then jump back up during February once the video is out. I wouldn't say there's a mass amount out during February either.

Is there any date when the video is to premier?
