Top 5 based on weakness of the single schedule that week, but it'll be outsold by Chipmunk.

The album will have a good first couple of weeks but it's lacking a killer second single. I wouldn't be surprised if it dropped out of the Top 10 albums by Xmas, judging by the strength of other releases.

I think you're 100k short on all of those predictions...!

Now that most major albums have been announced for the last quarter of the year, let's see those top 5 predictions! 1. Leona Lewis 'Echo' 2. Susan Boyle 'I Dreamed A Dream' 3. JLS 'JLS' 4. Take That 'Greatest Day - Live' 5. The Pope 'Alma Mater' The near misses: Will Young 'The Hits' Foo Fighters 'Greatest Hits' Alexandra Burke 'Overcome' Michael Jackson 'This Is It' Robbie Williams 'Reality Killed The Video Star'

I'm going to go with The Veronicas on both counts. The Saturdays' album is being released way too soon after the last one and it will undoubtedly get lost in the noise of Xmas releases. The 1st single is nowhere near as strong as their previous tracks and frankly it's an odd decision to release the album before Xmas. Both albums are Top 10s based on the weakness of other releases that week, but both will suffer from 19th October when the Top 5 Albums that week will probably be completely comprised of new entries. '4Ever' will hang around longer than 'Forever Is Over' though and will help the album sell more OTC for the year.

#1 for certain, but won't go down as a classic by any means. I'm patiently waiting to hear the next single because I think this time, they'll save the best for second.

Album is now Jan 2010 so that'll give it a fighting chance of a Top 5. Single will have a mediocre first week then sink without a trace. #55 on release, dropping thereafter.

First post - hello all! I can't see this getting anywhere near the Top 20 I'm afraid. It has stalled in the charts and the strength of other releases around at the moment will stunt its climb. Top 40 if it's lucky.
