Like I said earlier, it wont let me download ANY of the new releases. My itunes is coming up with error. If other people are having the same problem then that may be why...or maybe its just my itunes :( Its weird as it just let me buy Robbie and Cascada but not Alesha.

Is anyone having any trouble buying the new releases? It keeps coming up with error yet i just brought Robbie's newie and it downloaded straight away?

Its obviously an update error, its not just affecting America's itunes, pretty much every itunes feed is messed up

I can see him doing quite well on the BBC sound of 2010, i'd be surprised if he isn't top 5 on it. I agree its too early to say but if he has the airplay, hype (#1 in USA) and promo etc I'd find it hard to believe it'd miss the top 5, I'd say top 3 though, but #1 isn't out of the question (especially if the release schedule is lacking), it could explode I reckon. I think Cheryl Cole's newie and Sidney Samson are the other ones to watch in January.

[154] 142| Cardio Workout Crew - Riverside (As made famous by Sidney Samson) Does anyone know if this has been picked up by a UK label? Its been hanging around for ages and if they release it in the new year (which I suspect they will Jan/Feb time) then I can see it being quite massive (next years Day 'N' Nite?)

They've just performed live on the World Series (baseball? ^_^ I must admit I'm at a loss of what sport it is), that'll be the main reason for its climb. Its now top 10 on airplay according to todays update, so if it keeps the momentum over the weekend theres a small chance next week but I think they are serious #1 contenders in the coming weeks. Anyone else surprised that Timbaland is so low? I was fully expecting it to be ALOT higher.

Its official, Owl City is #1 :cheer: :cheer: 7 1 OWL CITY FIREFLIES

Does that mean Owl City could still be #1? I find the whole Billboard system confusing!

I'd love Owl City to reach #1, unfortunately someone has done the figures at Pulse and Jason apparently edged it :( Next week is gonna be very interesting. Obviously Taylor is gonna have multiple entries in the Hot 100 but none have the lead or airplay to reach #1 overall, nor will Gaga. I guess it will be between Fireflies and Whatcha say again, probably Jason will do it as i dont think Owl City will have that big a lead again in sales. The following week Rihanna will have a massive to #1 IMO.

Ahh so it is true :( How disappointing, Rihanna and Gaga have no chance over the coming weeks then :( Does anyone else think Kesha stands a chance of a #1 in early December?

I'm still quite surprised they didn't repress it to be honest, seems to be the done deal with new releases nowadays. I'm sure the issue with Gaga will be sorted in the coming day or two. If it hadn't been for the link in here I certainly wouldnt have been able to find it. I reckon Cheryl will easily get a second week at the top, then it'll be JLS and Leona. Apparently the final 12 are releasing a cover of MJ's You Are Not Alone on November 16th so that will be another X Factor related #1 (I read that on another forum so i dunno how true that is)

Its already beginning to climb the itunes chart in Australia, can see it doing well there and in Europe next year. I brought it a few weeks back on UK itunes and its since been taken off which is a good indicator that its been picked up by a UK label (similar thing happened with Release Me, Get Shaky etc). I can see it going top 3 depending on competition.

Totally agree, it should hopefully be #1 on the digital chart next week, unfortunately due to airplay lagging a bit it wont be #1 :( Its also now #1 on Canada's itunes. I do hope this gets a release in the UK, if they time it right I can see this being huge in the new year

Chipmunk now up to #28 The Sats up to #71!! Goodness, looks like we could have a new top 2 next week. Chipmunk potentially may have quite high sales next week, it may even reach #1 on itunes by the end of the day at this rate :o **Edit - you beat me to it** :P

I'm still amazed at the success of Maniac 2000, 10 weeks at #1, best seller of 2000 and the 4th best seller ever :o Does anyone know or remember why it was so successful? Its never seemed to be the type of song that would be very radio friendly or that would have wide spread appeal (though obviously it must have), must have sounded good in a club though. BTW I Gotta Feeling is back at #1 on itunes so I reckon its got another week or two at #1 (maybe 12 weeks?). I reckon it will get knocked off by Alexandra or Robbie now. Amazing success really.

Alot of people are beginning to predict MJ beating Alex/Robbie. I know MJ's newie will have alot of hype and it WILL have big sales (especially if the songs good) but with the airplay/video play Alex is getting surely it will reach #1? JLS sold over 100k and I can see this easily beating it, especially with a performance the night before? Then again may be she will do a Leon but I'm not convinced. Its awfully competitive from October though so anything could happen.

Its partly album hype but he's in the UK this week promoting and was on Jonathan Ross last night, and gave a great performance of the track!

You saying then that Robbie will beat Alex the week before? Surely with the performance on X Factor it will be #1 for a few weeks. This will def go top 5 though, perhaps top 3. I think it will depend how big the sales are for Alex/Robbie the previous week.

While Taio was #38 on my feed, Madonna was around 555 :o Its probably more an issues with itunes than anything, it hasn't been updating properly for days.

This may have been mentioned already earlier but to the person who thinks the pop bars are gone, they HAVE been updated and Shakira is now very close to being #1 so its likely just to be an itunes problem

Yeah the pop bars are all over the place at the moment, several countries seem to having this issue today. Great to see Shakira doing so well. I dont think its Madonna that Shakira should be worrying about next week, its Taio Cruz, its now #1 on Ireland itunes (according to pop bars), i think next week isn't a dead cert at all.

Actually Basshunter is out the same week as Shakira on 21st (according to his website/HMV site). I think he will give Shakira a run for her money!

Thanks for replying, thought it was just me. Hopefully it will sort itself out but i dont get why, it was working fine on Thursday night and just seems weird it wont go to the homepage (yet the search function works fine). Take it no-one has any ideas? I agree with you, technology can be a pain sometimes!

Sorry to continue to mention this (like the other thread but no-one answered me), I take it no-ones having any itune problems then? I've seen people mentioned that they are seeing the pop bars so may be its just me :( I originally thought it was the whole itunes but the search function at the top right is working fine, its just when i press the home icon nothing happens (like its a dead link and won't load up). Anyone having this prob or know how to sort it? Its beginning to annoy me now.
