Oh where have you seen that? How annoying if true, was hoping Shakira would do it (obviously she still could but i'd say Madonna is probably more likely). The schedule is looking very jam packed over the coming weeks. Dizzee, Sugababes, Pixie, Taio Cruz and Shakira (or Madonna if the release has changed) all have a chance to be 1 weekers at #1 IMO. There are obviously other contenders but I'd say those stand the best chance.

Oh right, thanks for answering, a bit risky though as Dizzee Rascal is out 31st at the moment as well!

Love the new Sean Kingston and Little boots tracks but I'm a tad surprised they haven't playlisted Sugababes, isn't it out to download on 16th August? Be odd if they were snubbed considering it premiered on radio 1.

Thanks for confirming. I'm sure the proper version of WLTO will be top 10 by the end of the day. I wonder if the reason it doesn't look like the fake version is falling very much is because the chart is a rolling chart so it will be including sales from yesterday still? I'd say WLTO is moving quite well considering it was released late in the evening and its got to #50 from sales through the late evening and night.

A tad surprised they are releasing it today, i would have thought they may have waited until Friday. I guess they saw the cover version now top 10 and were concerned it'd take sales away. Its only gonna make an impact tomorrow on itunes anyway (which is a day earlier than Pixie last week) and even if La Roux does now release on Sunday WLTO is gonna have a big lead come Sunday I should think plus the physical, just hope it doesnt cost them the #1.

Perhaps but I suspect many will just download the newer version again. I'd be more worried that La Roux will be out to download next week and keep this at #2! On LaRoux is mentions the physical is out 22nd June but nothing about the download.

Despite the cover version of When Love Takes Over doing so well, it wouldn't surprise me if Bulletproof beats it if its out next week (it does say on Wikipedia the download AND physical are out 22nd June but Wikipedia is hardly reliable). Could be a very high selling top 2 though.

Is La Roux out next week for download? It doesn't seem to be confirmed anywhere? If so it could give David/Kelly a run for their money. If out on 22nd June with the physical then it could potentially end up #1 too I think.

Agreed, does anyone know when its out for download? I know the physical is out 22nd but if its the download is out 15th June then its gonna give David Guetta a run for their money I think.

I LOVE this track, and the video is growing on me. I'd hope this goes to #1 BUT isn't La Roux (Bulletproof) out on 15th June to download? If so, it wouldnt surprise me if that gives her big competition.

Untouched is now #1 on irish itunes :o

Loving this, though I've loved it since I heard it back in 2007. Its now #3 in Ireland itunes, over a few bars from #1!

Article why Fairytale was deleted.... Rybak success 'marred after label blunder' Alexander Rybak's chances of topping the charts around the world have been knocked after EMI Records temporarily removed 'Fairytale' from iTunes. The Norwegian star's Eurovision winning song was unavailable to download for hours today after an alleged dispute over ownership of the track. Fans attempting to purchase 'Fairytale' were told by iTunes that "the request could not be completed". The song subsequently dropped to number nine on the download chart in the UK, from a peak of number three yesterday. It was also temporarily removed from iTunes stores in a number of countries around the world. Since Rybak's record-breaking win at the Eurovision Song Contest on Saturday, 'Fairytale' has seen download sales significantly increase across much of Europe, Australasia and the USA. According to latest midweek sales in Britain, the song is expected to chart at number four on Sunday. This was just posted on Digital Spy!

Interestingly I have just looked at a few itunes overseas and its begun to get removed from the looks of things, at least its no longer available in Finland! **Edits** Now been deleted in Australia and New Zealand, looks like its being deleted one by one, how crazy!

I reckon Bonkers will have at least 3-4 weeks at #1. I think La Roux has a good chance to do it actually, its already had over 200,000 views on youtube. David Guetta is another contender but for some reason I can see it perhaps falling short but we will see, its certainly getting radio 1 support so far. I think Jordin stands a great chance but I wouldn't rule out Cascada either. I know its not everyones cup of tea BUT its the type of song that I can see doing very well, especially as radio 1 are likely to support it and it'll get loads of video airplay. Alexander has also been removed from the Irish itunes, which is crazy considering it had a MASSIVE lead at #1, hopefully its an error and will be readded tomorrow.

It was only added in America this afternoon (US time as confirmed by Daughtry himself), and it usually takes a few updates for new songs to appear (remember its only early evening there at the mo). It'll shoot up the itunes chart, though its nothing amazing, it'll do well i reckon.

Oww the same week as Bonkers! Its gonna be an exciting battle I should think, I'm not really sure which one will come out on top. Can't believe the cover of BBP is nearly top 40 :o

Nah it'll do fine. It will now have 3 weeks to build up demand and I'm sure it'll go top 5/10 on itunes once its out at the very least to be honest. It wasn't even the proper radio edit anyway... Shame Veronicas are falling, wonder if they will taken off too to get a bit of demand for it? Tinchy has a massive lead now, its got another week or two at #1 I should think. Boom Boom Pow is out 4th May for download apparently, which I reckon will most likely be the next #1 in a couple of weeks.

I see Star Pilots have now been deleted, in fact the album it was on has now gone!

It will be though I still think Hard2Beat may make the track 'album only' in the next week or so. If they do, its bound to debut top 5 at least once out properly

I'm actually surprised it Hard2Beat haven't made it 'album only' yet as its obviously going to affect it when its released on 18th May. I reckon it could be top 100 by the weekend. It'll be taken off at some point I'm sure though? They did it with Basshunter in November 07. Go The Veronicas, hopefully it'll be a big hit for them. I'm sure when I last looked it WASN'T on itunes though but that was January/February time. All they had was their first album.

Yep, it is gonna be HUGE, Radio 1 and capital fm are already all over it (the cheesey video will be on tv within the next week too). I'd bet that the track will become album only in a week or too, Hard2beat and MOS have done that before (Basshunter was originally available via MOS compilation in November and got swiftly removed. Many may disagree with me but i'd bet its gonna go top 3 at least!

And they've also been advertising as Taylor as a #1 contender while they haven't with PCD so likely meaning Taylor will be higher?

Hopefully another exciting chart today. I did cheer last week when i realised Gaga had done it and i havent done that in a LONG while. i really think its gonna be close. HMV and Amazon Gaga is ahead (tho HMV won't make too much difference) while on Amazon Noisettes have been 2-4 the last few days. Noisette had an impressive lead on itunes on Thursday/Friday but seems like PF is closing again. If Noisettes do it, itll be only for 1 week I'd imagine. I reckon PF but would love Noisettes to do it!

Yeah its gonna be very close i should think. I also think this is probably Noisettes only chance as this morning PF is beginning to really catch up on itunes. Noisettes were clearly catchy up all week, another exciting chart show today i hope (i personally hope noisettes do it). its a shame we didnt get sales on Friday to see if they were miles ahead.
