Lady Gaga gave another good performance on Sunday Night Project so i'd expect it to slightly increase its lead tomorrow (I'm guessing thats the main reason why she has pulled away from Kid Cudi the last 2 weeks as shes doing lots of promo). Looks like the album version is on its way down though, will be interesting to see how the week progresses. Surprised Tinchy's not higher yet actually but I expect it'll shoot up over the coming days. Oh and Lily is apparently out on Friday 23rd.

I can't see that now really, I reckon Gaga will be #1 again. Although Kid Cudi did have a little lead (combined) some of the week on itunes, yesterday he began to drift (though the pop bars can be deceiving sometimes).

Don't suppose anyone has any updated pop bars? Mine hasn't updated for today so far :(

Don't suppose you have an updated pop bars?

Looking at the popularity bars, Kid Cudi is beginning to drift now. Looks like Gaga will be staying put!

Does anyone have updated pop bars? Can't wait to see the sales this weekend! Gaga will likely stay at #1 but Kid Cudi is certainly giving her a run for her money! Can't believe PF is doing so well either.

Does anyone have any updated popularity bars?

I reckon it'll be quite close, according to the mids though, Gaga is still around 8k ahead so its still quite alot to make up. If you add the versions all together he is getting very close though... I find it funny how ever since the version at #33 was labelled as the original hip hop mix its been in freefall, goes to show people must have thought it was remix :rolleyes:

I guess so though equally it wouldn't surprise me if it was an error of some sort. There is a version at #20 on itunes which seems to be the original version but its still credited on itunes as Kid Cudi vs Crookers?

I wouldn't say Kid Cudi will be #1 just yet, i mean Gaga still has a massive lead and the other versions could easily peak and begin falling. I think its gonna end up being quite close myself. I work out he's #3 combined and is quite close to #2 now though the bars can be misleading sometimes. He'll prob have at least 2 versions top 10 tomorrow, when was the last time that happened? I can only think of Leona Lewis Bleeding Love (Single and Album version) and Beyonce/Shakira with the original and radio edit of Beautiful Liar. Any others?

Kid Cudi is now #15, #52, #67 and #72 :o I wonder why there's 2 EPs on there, seems abit odd they've done that, as it'd be easily top 5 by now otherwise. Still shocked its the club mix thats the biggest version so far!

She has left the top spot, Wes Carr climbed to #1 in mid December and PF regained. Her CR so far is... 26-23-19-18-9-3-1-1-1-1-2-1-1-1-1- Impressive! Its the now the longest running #1 since Apologize though i reckon Jessica will knock her off now, Jess' lead is gaining now on itunes.

I wouldn't be so sure to be honest, Gaga still has a massive lead. Will be interesting how high all the versions of DNN go now. And when i used a ruler (i know hardly accurate) i put the combined position as quite close to the top 20 :o

Wow@Kid Cudi. Quite impressive really, interesting that its the club mix and not the radio edit that debuts highest!! There are no doubt more versions of Day N' Nite outside the top 120 as well, I wonder where he would be if we added every version together?

She's now #1 on Aussie itunes

Ofcourse that's assuming all 200 branches have stock left, several I've been to the past week have barely anything left. Even so, I reckon Alex will have a head start in the mids, could get quite neck and neck by the end of the week I reckon, especially if Alex continues to fall on itunes (which she will). Lady Gaga could end up doing at least 50k-60k this week maybe? So if not this coming week I'd expect her to do it next week (Kid Cudi will be a threat and is still a potential #1 but surely it can't do more than 50k? - though the singles market is higher right now so who knows).

Oh yeah that too! Will make the top 3 I'd imagine if not higher. Equally may be there could be a shock #1 as well?

I agree there doesn't seem to be many obvious #1 contenders bar Lily, Lady Gaga, Kid Cudi and Comic Relief. I've just listened to Empire Of The Sun and it doesnt really strike me as an obvious #1 though? U2 have a new album out in early March so I'd expect a single from them in late Feb. Also doesn't Timbaland have a new album out in Feb? If so, that could be big (lead single depending obviously).

Great for Breathe Slow, hopefully itll give a second top 10 hit. Fab for Lady Gaga, depending on Alex's physicals next week, she could climb to #1 afterall. I do think if she doesnt do it next week, she'll likely do it the following week. I'd say Kid Cudi DOES have a chance but I reckon its more likely he'll get stuck at #2, especially if Gaga has a hefty lead over the next week or so.

Thanks for doing this Shaky, I'm also listening, enjoying it so far, it will be interesting to see the top 10! 26 was Sam Sparro - Black & Gold

I know, its very annoying! Yet its weird because I've been to other countries itunes like Australia/USA and the popularity bars seem to be updating ok on there but the UK's and Irelands aren't. It must be working for some people because the popularity bars were posted several pages back, not sure how though.

I agree, at my local club its exactly the same and itll obviously be huge (ofcourse that doesnt mean itll be #1). Alot of people thought Lady Gaga was guaranteed to reach #1 (even me) and now i'm not so sure so anything can happen. I'd assume Alex will do another 100k at least this week then 60-70k ish the following week maybe? After that, i reckon itll fall quite quick. I wouldn't be surprised if Leona has a chance to reclimb in a week or too either. It took until the end of the second week of this year for the gift card effect to calm down (looking at older threads) so itll probably be similar next year. Or maybe we will be in for a shock #1 if Gaga, Kid Cudi or even Lily can't do it?

Totally, i also thought it would be top 10 at the very least by now BUT i still think itunes updating problems haven't helped. I mean the top 100 hasn't updated since last wednesday for me (i hope that issue gets sorted soon) so many still won't know its even there unless people look for it. Though I'm sure that will change once its top 10 (its looking likely it may get stuck behind Alex in the main chart now) Also, the UK top 10 last week sold over 36,000, thats a HUGE amount, many #1s havent even sold that much! So its taking longer to make the impact that it may have done. I remember years ago January was the lowest sales period, obviously not anymore! (Im not saying these are the reasons but im sure they are a factor or I may be wrong completely) :P I wonder how much longer Alex will be able to maintain her sales? I suspect she will have a hefty drop this coming week (its gonna fall from #1 on itunes by the end of the week anyways). It will be interesting to see who will knock her off now.

Also abit surprised that Gaga isnt top 10 yet BUT then sales are big at the moment plus itunes hasn't been updating so unless you actually look for it, you won't even know its out. BTW is itunes updating the toolbars now as yesterday it wasn't working for me? Looks like Leona may retake the top in the next couple of weeks too.

Glad itunes has been updated. Not really surprising to see everything climbing though quite surprised that the xmas songs have gone already! Though on my itunes page it still hasnt been updated so i am unable to see the popularity bars, anyone have them? Hopefully itll all be updated later on. Even on the live feeds i look at none have been updated either which is annoying!
