If Simon has any sense he'll be getting tonights episode of XFactor re-edited to use a long clip of Collide... maybe use it in the background while they do that long 'and all these were also put thru to bootcamp' bit, where ya dont hear them sing, just see clips of em screamin and crying! ... now ive said that i expect to hear 1D, Pixie, Example and Olly instead! hehe EDIT: Well, Happy just got played... always nice to hear leona on shows!

dont forget the second version of example... he's been #3 combined for most of the day i think :-)

said it before... i think the real battle now is 4, 5 and 6 (gona be close)... 1, 2 and 3 are pretty much set... hopefully her lead early in the week and the EP will mean leona can hold on to 4 or 5 tho :-)

well... what goes up...!!! :-) hopefully still a good chance of top 5 officially tho :-)

down to #6 on itunes... optimist in me still thinks #4 is possible, but i think positions 4, 5 and 6 will be much closer than originally hoped for! still hoping that it stabilises with increased airplay, just wish there was some more promo planned! released in germany today and around the #70 mark on itunes... seems to be some interest in europe, but nothing major so far... still, as a reminder that leona exists i think collide is doing its job, and setting her up for the next single and album :-)

i think example is the bigger problem... he is above leona combined on itunes... so may be able to pull ahead by the weekend... olly is close on itunes now, but she's been well ahead all week, so hopefully she can stay ahead of him... i really think official #4, #5 and #6 will be close tho :-(

yay... #3 in Ireland (Pixie #10, Sats #6) shame Christina Perri picked up at the end of the week and passed her, but top 3!!! :-)

yeah, pop bars numbers seem to have reverted too... almost exactly what they were at around 4pm

hopefully with her remix in the top 130 (?) (havent seen full updates today), plus the EP, plus the lead through the first half of the week, Leona may still hold onto 4... but i can see it being quite tight for positions 4, 5 and 6 by the weekend! :-S

oh, Collide is also #3 on UK TV airplay midweeks according to NielsonMusicUK :-) i noticed that on the 7day rolling radio airplay chart it is also increasing nicely... up to #54 :-D

Collide was released to US iTunes yesterday... on the singles, it is currently #224 and the EP shows up at #925 (strangely)... the EP is also #537 on the albums. Not expecting too much from this in the US seeing as its had no promo so far, and as far as i know hasnt gone for official adds at US radio (??)... so all in all, i think being in these positions on US iTunes is a good sign that she still has some hardcore fans out there :-) EDIT: second singles entry is the radio edit from the EP, the first is the actual single release

agreed... refresh buttons wearing out! been v slow tonight!

not sure how much u can really tell from the popbar numbers... its all dependent on whats going on with #1, increase / decrease, and the rate that they are increasing or decreasing... but we dont have that information :-S i suppose they can give a general feel for whether someone has has a good or bad update, but thats about all i think :-)

i thought it showed them both decreasing... maybe i missed an update :-)

Are they climbing? i havent seen updated live pop bars for ages, but i thought the last few updates had them both decreasing in comparison with pixie?

Yeah, must just be an iTunes error (or as some people have said, they may always put joint credits in alphabetically) but it is credited as 'Leona Lewis / Avicci' on the other sites ive looked at... and the EP artwork on iTunes even shows 'Leona Lewis / Avicci' :-)

I think Leona's percentage per these updates has decreased less than all the other songs around her (in the last few updates that ive seen)... and assuming these popbars are on an indexed comparative to whoever is number 1, that means if she is decreasing its at a slower rate than the others, or she may still be increasing, simply at a slower rate than pixie! either way, im quite happy with leonas last few updates :-)

Looking at latest popbars (not that theyve updated recently) example and olly are v close... so if Leona continues to move up, number 4 may be the next stop :-)

#1 - Pixie #2 / #118 - Sats #6 / #112 - Leona Gettin interesting!!!

yep... thems the facts... and good on em, theyre doin surprisingly well... will be very interesting seein how the next week plays out :-)

Leona is #7 and #114... will be #6 by next update :-)

#1 (and #113) - Sats #3 - Pixie #7 (and #114) - Leona :-)

Leona finally #10... hopefully she can continue to rise quite quickly now :-S

#2 (#134) - Saturdays #3 - Pixie #11 (#145) - Leona (come on!!!)

its still really early... far too early to know for sure what kinda order these songs are gonna chart... as people have mentioned there is the possibility of some front-loaded sales, dropping off mid-week, pixies promo tonight, and to be honest i dont think leonas promo from last night has kicked in just yet, seeing as the single wasnt available at the time of the performance, its effect may be a stable climb rather than a single boost? just a possibility... good luck to all of them tho... kinda upsetting reading some negative 'hope xxx flops' comments... personally i cant take any satisfaction in other peoples failure (even if it was to involve simon 'smug' cowell) :-P
