Fake versions of singles
Voted for the 'I wait to buy the real song'. I'm always surprised when a fake version is charting so high because I really don't understand the point in buying them.

iTunes Chart: Weekly Thread W/C 1st April 2012
Wasn't expecting to see Olly's EP that high for some reason! Good news :D

The Voice UK
I really liked Frances, probably my favourite contestant so far! Vince and the guy who did The Man Who Can't Be Moved were both great aswell.

iTunes Chart: Weekly Thread W/C 1st April 2012
Don't remind me again of the All Fired Up situation :P Good to see Sean at #1, absolutely love that song at the moment. And amazing to see The Man Who Can't Be Moved so high after The Voice. Brilliant song! Nice to see the other versions of Oh My Goodness are doing decent aswell. Where is the EP in the album chart?

I actually adore She Doesn't Mind at the moment and I don't even know why :P It's just so catchy and summery.

The Voice UK
I know her performance wasn't the best, but I do think she has potential. And I just loved her personality, I know this is The Voice and it's all about that - the voice. But I couldn't help to root for her.

Can't believe Chris got there so fast! And especially with this song. Should have been Plan B at the top :(

Has Boyfriend already premiered online actually?

Predict Tulisa - 'Young'
:lol: :lol: I actually really enjoy it, but then again I've always loved Tulisa. Surely it's not the most original song out there, but it's very enjoyable and I love the video.

The Voice UK
I really enjoyed the first episode, it's already than the Dutch version - no surprise there :P I seriously loved all the judges. Jessie was amazing, as expected, and Will really surprised me. I never knew he was that funny. Tom and Danny were very good aswell. Tom really made me laugh. Both girls who did Jessie J songs were great and I liked the guy who did the mash up. Ben Kelly was good aswell, but maybe a bit too much? He has a great voice though. And I loved the woman who did Crazy.

Yes, that was the winner of the second season of The Voice of Holland. During the first season, the 4 finalists all released an original song but that changed during the second season for some reason. Can't believe that Chris Brown song is so high, it's so incredibly generic and average. Forever is still his best song. And come on Plan B! Now that song should be doing well.

Forgotten top ten hits
Innocent Eyes and Lost Without You are both classics for me, too bad they actually belong in this thread as I don't think many people remember them (or Delta in general) anymore.

I was surprised when I read she is performing this, would have thought she would do Next To Me again.

Forgotten top ten hits
I think Parade's Louder is another good example. It was released last year, but I don't think a lot of people remember it/have even heard it. I still don't understand how that managed to go top 10!

iTunes Chart: March 2012 (Part III)
Who would have predicted a couple of weeks ago that Sean Paul would still be as high as #2 when the new JLS single already dropped to #11? I know it has been discussed on here a lot this week, but still :P JLS have released some very good songs (Beat Again, One Shot, She Makes Me Wanna to name a few), but I really don't like Proud, easily their weakest single to date. Hope this shows them they can't release anything and score a big hit with it.
-
Which is the lead single?
I would say that it is the lead single of the album. I know it was released as a buzz single at first, but since it became such a big hit in it's own right I would call it the lead single. It also got the full single treatment (video, airplay on both television and radio, EP release). And I voted for option 1 in the poll, the only exception is for me the X Factor when I wouldn't call Hallelujah or Run For Your Life the lead single off Alexandra's and Matt's albums.

Predict: Marlon Roudette - New Age
I really hope it will be a surprise hit, but I can't see it happening. I would be even surprised to see it go top 75, although it could do well if radio starts to support it. It's a really good song though and Anti Hero is even better.

Go Labrinth! Good to see him climbing now. And Katy aswell, hope she goes to #1 soon. It's too soon to say JLS are flopping, but they are definitely underperforming at the moment. Although all the promo over the week will give them a boost.

No, I didn't go unfortunately :( I'm not from the UK, so it was sort of impossible. I'm just hoping he will do some European gigs this year since Heart Skips A Beat is doing pretty good in some countries. I can't wait to see the documentary :D

Oh, really? I'm jealous :P I've been a massive Olly fan since his first X Factor audition, haha. I really hope so! Thanks for those updates. So know I know which shows I have to watch. Hope he's performing Oh My Goodness to give it a boost.

Unfortunately all the new entries made him fall a couple of places today :( Love your Olly sig, by the way. Is Friday the big Sport Relief television show? JLS are obviously performing, but are there any other artists confirmed?

Predict: Loreen 'Euphoria'
Totally agree. I was expecting an amazing song after reading so many positive comments about it on here, but I really don't think it's anything special.
