Already did but thanks for the heads-up Lady Gaga.

LMAO, just seen that!

Are you on the X Factor production team or a part of Gaga's entourage?

Gaga is less predictable than Katy Perry but, again, I reckon she'll sing Applause. It's her first televised performance of the era in the UK and acts always sing their first singles in this case, it's quite obvious. Then again, Gaga is known for not going the traditional route so you'll never know. She might end up doing 'Venus'. But if she ends up doing 'Applause' and everyone acts shocked over here I'll laugh 'cause it was not a shocking decision.... It's not strange actually, considering this is the single she is currently promoting in the UK, not 'Unconditional'. 'Roar' still being top 10 is actually a reason to keep promoting it instead of starting promoting a new song.

LMAO, I knew it. There was no way she would start promotion in the UK singing the second single. That's not surprising at all. And her first Unconditional performance will probably be the Europe Music Awards in a few weeks. She'll probably be invited to the final and sing Unconditional tbh....

Both are irrelevant and none will bring out much ratings imo There's no chance The Wanted will top One Direction. They're not on equal footing, 1D is hundreds times bigger. And btw, if 1D is going on the show to promote their album instead of the single, I guess that's what we can expect for other XF acts. So Union J and James Arthur will probably be on the week of their CD releases. And I actually doubt XF will deem Union J too "irrelevant" to be on the show. They're a SYCO act and they're from X Factor so and they do well enough so I it's pretty much impossible they won't be promoted at some point.

I honestly don't understand why The Wanted always have performance slots on the X Factor. They're hardly that relevant. I thought it was just so X Factor acts could get airplay at Capital but X Factor acts are mostly snubbed by Capital, aren't they? So I guess week 3 is The Wanted and James Arthur... or will James Arthur only be featured later on to promote his second single/album?

Susan Boyle will probably do somewhat better than expected but One Direction will top the charts followed by Gary Barlow.

Miley Cyrus will be performing on The X Factor on November 20th

Yes, but she hasn't performed Roar on British TV once and I highly doubt she'll officially start TV promotion without singing the first single. She'll be back in Europe in November so she'll probably promote Unconditional then.

I think she'll sing Roar. Maybe she'll do Roar with the contestants and then Unconditional solo but, if she only has one performance slot, I feel like she'll perform Roar.

Top 5 surely. Maybe even top 2. I don't think he'll top the charts tho...

The ones I'm 100% sure will be performing this year are all the X Factor related acts (Gary Barlow; Little Mix; Rebecca Fergunson; Olly Murs; Cher Lloyd; James Arthur; JLS; Union J; One Direction; Leona Lewis) and the big Q4 releases: Katy Perry; Miley Cyrus and Robbie Williams. Others that I think have a huge chance of being on the show: Justin Timberlake; Celine Dion and Lady Gaga. Those are all pretty obvious. Apparently, Gloria Estefan would also perform which I think is random but she is an iconic performer so... No, that's fake. She is not allowed to perform CONCERTS in the US but she is free to perform in TV shows. However, I doubt she'll be on the X Factor and, giving how disappointing her performances are of late, I think her handlers are being smart on not letting her perform on TV. It's not good publicity imo.

Well, it's obvious they'll have an X Factor slot, isn't it? I still think, best case scenario, they will go top 3.

All of her biggest hits, which as Eric_Blob mentioned probably had good trickle sales and long chart runs, have been her solo hits (The Climb was a Miley Cyrus single but was actually the main song for the Hannah Montana Movie) but I think her Hannah Montana soundtrack CDs had decent sales also.

What a failed logic. Selling 100k tickets to her London concerts in minutes is surely a bigger sign of being huge than having a number 1 hit, something that has been achieved by hundreds of acts no one even bought one album for. Selena Gomez and Hilary Duff had top 10 hits long before Miley and that didn't change the fact Miley was much bigger than either of them in the UK. Obviously, chart positions aren't everything. And anyway, her current success is the direct result of the fact she was extremely well-known for years. It's not like she's been doing any huge type of promo for the last few years, people were checking for her solely because she was Miley Cyrus.

Considering they outsell The Saturdays and actually have some semblance of career internationally, I would say they are. I dislike them both but Little Mix is clearly more commercially successful. The Sats have a longer history of being limited successful but, currently, Little Mix are bigger. And lol, just realized this discussion has been done to death and there's no point in arguing with The Sat loons. Only they would think The Sats mediocre careers and achievements amount to anything or that they rival Little Mix, with their much stronger PR support. Neither of them are really huge among the mainstream but Little Mix definitely has a much bigger advantage currently, not to mention some international popularity.

The Climb, Fly on the Wall, 7 Things, Party in the USA and See You Again probably sold much more than people expected even tho they never reached the top 10. Miley performed all of them on huge, highly-rated TV shows in the UK. Besides, Hannah Montana soundtracks probably sold quite alright, even though it failed to catch people's attention 'cause they weren't listed on the regular album charts (they were on the Compilations list). I don't know why people are so surprised with Miley's recent success. She has always been huge in the UK. A few years ago, she sold out five O2 Arena concerts in like minutes, didn't she?

Britain's current 2nd biggest girlgroup? LMAO, even with their mediocre sales, they still the biggest by far. And I think it'll go 4 or 5.

Nope. Unless her performance is AMAZING, Katy will probably be #1. Not to mention Robin Thicke and Miley will also be performing (Blurred Lines and We Can't Stop respectively) and their singles are all performing much better even though they're not recent.

LOL, some of you are reaching hard. Gaga's single is not bombing and it's obvious she "couldn't wait till the official release week" like Katy Perry did 'cause Katy's song leaked on Saturday afternoon, less than 2 days before the release week, while Gaga's Applause leaked a full week in advance.

So Lady Gaga is releasing her single today. The war is ON!

"It's so distasteful! It's wrong to disseminate so much hate!!!!" mmmm

That's debatable http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/comm...er-exhumed.html. Oh, and she supported apartheid and described Nelson Mandela as a "terrorist".... mm....

It was featured in Girls. The show also boosted Dancing on my Own.
