I wouldnt say JLS beating Take That is certainty just yet as TT are now ahead of JLS on HMV pre-ordered (although I realise its not the only way to look at pre-orders) so it still could be anybodys. Cheryl vs Rihanna is going to be an exciting week, Cheryl I'm certainly will get the #1 but I reckon Rihanna wont be far behind.

Oh where did you read that? If true then both should get there (hopefully). If thats the case then Rihanna will likely perform on 31st October.

I think Cheryl will still the #1 though. If anything I could potentially see Rihanna go 2-1 though. Is Rihanna definately being performed on the 24th? If its the following week I'd be sure she will climb to #1.

Loving the Irish charts this year, looks like Michael could be #1 next week in Ireland, didnt really expect that at all. Joe looks like he isn't even gonna go top 10 even after his performance. @CianS - Did you realise that you've missed out Yolanda Be Cool from your Irish #1s sig? Just thought I'd say :P

Quite like this already but it will be interesting to hear what Take That's newie is like though (arent they released the same day?). If TT come back with the corker then it could be a big battle. TT I'm positive will win the album battle though.

I wonder if I Like that by Luciana will be a hit in the UK? Especially considering its success in Australia. I could see them releasing that in the Uk in January maybe?

Thanks Hits, greatly appreciated, good set of #1s this year so far! It must be close points wise this week with Eminem and Yolanda?

I was gonna say just 2010 but do them all if its not much trouble, be good to see them all.

Hi Hits, really glad you post this here though its a shame we can't see your old achieves :( Could you do me a favour and post an update of all the #1s this week? Be cool if you could keep it updated.

This will easily go top 3, if not #1. Its main competition will be Robbie & Gary but I actually think this could well beat it to be honest but its kinda hard to tell this far ahead.

It could be a tight race at the end of the week i think, Eminem is almost at #2 now, very much helped by video airplay (its being played each hour by the Box which is obviously helping).

They did play the Erik Hassle english version this morning. Scott played it around 8:40am this morning but said he would play the french version tomorrow (he said he prefered the french version but the callers opinions were mixed, either loving one or the other). If music channels also begin playing it then I can see it going top 10 in no time to be honest, here's hoping Radio1 playlist now. PS Ireland usually has the same release schedule to us as they get the same channels as us too.

Too true, on Heart fm when they advertise Big top 40 they keep saying ''Can the Wanted beat Yolanda this weekend for #1'' so they must think its gonna be big

I'm still surprised the compilation is even still available, Billionnaire will be taken top 10 soon otherwise. Surely its only a matter of time? I reckon the label may just release the song now.

Supposed to be Sunday 25th July though they will delete this comp today I'd imagine. It wouldnt surprise me if they bring it forward to tomorrow though. In a way I am praying they dont as I'd love Yolanda to do it next week (fingers crossed)

Thanks for the lists above Shaky, I've really enjoyed the Irish charts this year (even more so than UK) but then I usually do anyway. Pleasantly surprised how Train, Edward Maya managed being massive #1s there plus Ireland rarely has non#1s either (only Glee would count this year IMO). Judging by the pop bars on itunes I'd say BOB or Eminem will be the next #1 (or may be Travie McCoy as 2 fake versions are quite high). I wonder who the best seller of the year is so far, it wouldnt surprise me if it was Jedward actually :lol:

JLS will be #1 on the next update then which is no surprise. It will be interesting to see how it holds up over the week. Yolanda is finally making headway now, though interesting its now the extended version that is higher (the radio edit is far too short) it should top 10 later (also note its top 2 on the album chart so may be near top 10 already). Eliza up to #13, I'm pleasantly surprised :o

True but I would imagine plenty of fans may have already pre-ordered it? I actually just looked and Yolanda is already #19 on the album chart :o . JLS will win I'd expect but Yolanda could sell very well next week (if its out)

Too true, JLS will easily go to #1 but I'm keeping my fingers crossed Yolanda can do something the following week (assuming it enters at #2 and doesnt fall in sales quickly). I'm pretty sure JLS will only have the 1 week and Professor Green will NOT reach #1 so who knows. It will definately outsell it by the end of its run anyway. There's been quite a few non #1s that are having great totals this year (for example Airplanes will easily beat Nothin' On you's total even though the latter reached #1). I'm pretty sure Billionnaire is going to reach #1 at the end of July unless The Wanted pull something out of the bag :o

I wonder if AATW will get this newer (awful) version of Americano at #101 deleted off itunes tomorrow :lol: Its obvious that they are just holding out now to get a #1 (which they will miss out now if they are releasing on Sunday against JLS). Marco version is now up to #17

Agreed, though I really can't see them staying at #1 for a second week. The following week Green/Lily are out but for me personally,I can see that peaking at #3/4 so in theory it could climb. Actually it really wouldnt surprise me if Katy reclimbs either. This is of course if Americano is actually out on Sunday.

Oh no, wise decision really but I was really beginning to think Americano had a good chance of #1 so will be disappointing, though wouldnt it be hilarious if it beat JLS (i know slim chance), could climb too i guess.

It must have been a mistake not making it download only, as they've made a few songs album only (not Stromae though which surprises me a little). Considering Americano isn't out for another 3 weeks its very likely going to go top 3 at least

Looks rather good but I don't get why songs are put on these compilations so far in advance, Yolanda, Stromae etc arent out for weeks so its seem odd they are on here when it could hinder the chances a bit when they come out?
