Whats the average for a 7" #1? Has anyone got any links for these they care to PM me?

Thank you for that :) It shows it's a dying format. It is nice to have a physical, but in the ones I have bought recently (Lady Gaga, Alexandra, Kate Nash, Bananarama, Kylie, Scissor Sisters and Alphabet), it's just the main song and a few remixes or even one song on it's own which I know Little Boots was infamous for! Thankfully "Once" had a B-Side. I know people want the one main song to do good in the charts, but this with downloads has killed off any hope of B-Sides.

WHOAH!! Now that is something with the low sales, especially Alexandra and Boyzone. Basically if my HMV had a single from six months ago e.g. "The Climb" by Joe McEldrey, I bought it (not that I want to) and say 20-30 other people did, it would possibly be a physical top 40, even higher?!?!? Also, what if ten people bought a copy of a single from 2004 e.g. "1980" by Estelle from Amazon would they count?

As this is more or less a dying format as everything is now download only, whats the sales for songs on the physical format?

Thats very true. Another rule as well: If your name is Eminem - anywhere from 2-15 If your name is Rihanna - anywhere from 1-15 If David Guetta is on your song - you are VERY likely to make top 20 (Estelle exempt) If your name is Take That - Anywhere from 1-20 If you come from Europe and your name is NOT David Guetta (France, Sweden etc) - At best #3 at worst nowhere to be found If you're on your third single release and not one of the above - expect to struggle.

#40. Awful, hideous excuse of a song and you can so hear her bad vocals all the way through. Terrible.

It's a decent song and the lead singer (shaven head chap) is very tasty ;) That aside, I am probably going to stick my neck on the line and say #44. I can't see it being a hit sadly :(

Oh God that awful JLS single set for #1 :( Thanks very much indeed teenage girls, sad women/men and themselves buying a few copies. 2010 has been the worst year for number ones. Why have Lady Gaga and Kylie had to miss out thanks to a load of rubbish beating them?

Well she was responsible for the worst summer ever when she was #1. Funny how when she was knocked off the top, the weather picked up :D

I really hope not....saying that 2010 is easily the worst year ever for #1s.

Is it REALLY that Katie Price releasing?

#1 sadly :( 2010 is becoming the horror year musically.

Shakira's "Pikey" deserved to flop. Beverly Knight - "Beautiful Night" - gorgeous ballad, but missed the top 75 :( The Feeling - "Join with us" - Was used in a car ad and made something like #82 :( Shame, as this had potential. Lost Prophets - "Where we belong", "Shinobi Dragon Ninja" and "For he's a Jolly Good Fellon" Kristian Leontinou - "Some Say" - This had potential to be a top 20 hit. Pink - "I don't belive you" - Had hit potential.

Mini Viva deserved to flop with that hideous excuse of a song. Agnes deserved a consecutive run of top 10s. Beyonce - Broken Hearted Girl Sabrina Washington - OMG - Why did this flop?!?! This was the perfect pop tune! The Killers - This Is The World That We Live In - This was top 10 in NL, but flopped miserably here :( Nerina Pallot - Real Late Starter - Missed the chart completly :( La Roux - I'm Not Your Toy/Quicksand - Should have done better. Frankmusik - Better Off As Two - Should have been a top 10er Alphabeat - DJ - Why did this fail :(

Any albums where only One or No singles were released? I have Westlife's recent album "Where we are" which spanned only one single which was "What about now" in late 2009. Another one I can think of is "Today" of Mel B's awful "LA State of Mind" album. Any other examples?

Shame :( I bet it's about a 1000 copies sold. Devlin is probably big on his council estate daisy-chaning all the girls.

Devlin I hope never releases - his video budget must be at least £10. Where did "Dance Love Pop" make?

Thats the spirit maarb :) Also, slander the competition :D I'll start Joshua Radin eats puppies ;)

I feel really bad for Sabrina as well. It's such a great catchy song, and she's got a fantastic voice. I guess if this was sang by Rihanna or Beyonce it'd be top 3 automatically :( I am not happy with that Joshua Radin being top 20. What is the fascination with douchebags with quitars? It's a forgettable dirge and smells of "I'm Yours" the 2010 version! If you want emotion, by a big powerful ballad.
