PWn37lqpqXc

Snow Patrol - Called Out In The Dark

[Marc]

There :D

[MeMyselfAndI]

Leona Lewis

[Marc]

LOL for some reason, completely unknown to me, I thought you might vote LL :tongue:

[Callum]

Leona I'd say, she still has a large fanbase from her time on X Factor.

[Kate!]

I voted the Saturdays as they are quite prominent on the scene anyway at the moment, but it's very hard to say. They are all good acts, and sometimes being off the scene for a while works equally effectively. It would be nice to see Leona back at the top :)

[MeMyselfAndI]

I think they will all be top 5, well Pixie, Leona & The Saturdays will definately be, as will the previous No.1, Snow Patrol will chart the lowest i think

[Z]

Snow Patrol don't fare too well in the charts. Leona Lewis has been out of action for a while and has no X Factor to boost sales so I expect around #5 for her; The Saturdays will reach the lower end of the top 10 and Pixie Lott'll probably chart around #7/8. So Leona will do the best I think, but none of them will hit #1.

[Stu]

They are all terrible[/Stu].

[Niall]

Edge of Glory x

[Doogle]

I want Pixie but I know she won't. Probably Example but out of them I'll pick The Saturdays. :joker:

[Niall]

In all seriousness though I think Beyoncé has a good chance of nabbing #1 with Best Thing I Never Had.

[Doogle]

But it'll have been out for like 3 months by this point? :suspect:

[Marc]

But it'll have been out for like 3 months by this point? :suspect:

Well I want to see who's psychic and who isn't :suspect:

[Niall]

But it'll have been out for like 3 months by this point? :suspect:

Well its at #4 atm...

[Doogle]

Yeah but, there's the rest of July and all of August to go.

[Smithy]

I think it'll be Pixie, Leona didn't get #1 with Happy and she even performed it on XF that year, she won't be able to do that in September

[Doogle]

Well Happy was a terrible song :bored:

[InOne]

Pixie, cos she is hot, and it's Pixie

[Maia]

Pixie :worship:

[CharlieO]

Pixie. Hopefully.

[MeMyselfAndI]

Well Happy was a terrible song :bored:

No it wasn't, Shaun likes it & hes the musical expert. :spin:

[Doogle]

So because Shaun likes it we all have to? :laugh3:

No offence to Shaun, but seriously MM&I what the ****.

Anyway, Better In Time is still my favourite Leona song by far.

[MeMyselfAndI]

Run, Bleeding Love, Collide, Outta My Head, I Got You, Scene Of The Crime, Better In Time, Can't Breathe & Happy are her best.

[MeMyselfAndI]

My predictions
#1 Leona
#3 Pixie
#6 The Saturdays
#16 Snow Patrol

[CharlieO]

Leona will not make number 1 because not everyone is crazy over her like MM&I is.

To be honest I don't think any of them are up to number 1 standard but I'd like it to be Pixie.

[Doogle]

I'm convinced Example will get #1 for 2 weeks. His song isn't THAT good but he's very popular and 2 weeks seems to be a long time at #1 now :laugh:

[Zippy]

the one that goes best with my sig

[Tom4784]

I reckon it'll be the Saturdays. Leona can't sell anything without the X Factor, Snow Patrol's main sales come from their albums and Pixie Lott has a good chance but I think Saturday's single has the best shot of appealing to the kinds of people that actually buy singles.

[Locke.]

Snow Patrol don't fare too well in the charts. Leona Lewis has been out of action for a while and has no X Factor to boost sales so I expect around #5 for her; The Saturdays will reach the lower end of the top 10 and Pixie Lott'll probably chart around #7/8. So Leona will do the best I think, but none of them will hit #1.

This. Except Pixie will get #1 with it getting loads of promo and being the first song off her album

[MeMyselfAndI]

I reckon it'll be the Saturdays. Leona can't sell anything without the X Factor, Snow Patrol's main sales come from their albums and Pixie Lott has a good chance but I think Saturday's single Bas the best shot of appealing to the kinds of people that actually buy singles.

Better In Time, Forgive Me :elephant:

[Vicky.]

So because Shaun likes it we all have to? :laugh3:

No offence to Shaun, but seriously MM&I what the ****.



:laugh:

[Shaun]

Yes Doogle you have to :@

Erm. In terms of preference I would put: SP > LL > Saturdays > Pixie
But I think it would probably go: Saturdays > LL > Pixie > SP

[Marc]

Really? Snow Patrol so low down Shaun?

Whyy

[Doogle]

I think we should just get Amy to #1 this week so none of them get #1. /predictable

[Marc]

Well like you said its in a couple of months. I don't even think AW can make it no.1 for 8/9 weeks running

[Doogle]

Well she should :hmph:

[Doogle]

But yeah I still hope her songs chart highly in the next few weeks.

[Shaun]

I honestly think they peaked with the Eyes Open singles :tongue: everything they've released since has charted pretty badly

[Z]

Snow Patrol just never do well on singles sales, they're more of an album band. I was shocked to discover Signal Fire was their highest charting single at #4, I'd put that down to it being on the Spiderman soundtrack more than anything. The song's not all that great either tbh, it's the best lyrically IMO but it's a bit boring. The Saturdays have the strongest tune IMO but again, the lyrics are appalling and people didn't bother with the weird wall of noise that was Notorious so I can't imagine them bothering with this either, but I could be wrong.

[Shaun]

Signal Fire :love: :nono:

[Z]

Signal Fire :love: :nono:

Yeah I love it too, I was just stunned that it was their best faring single, it always seemed like one of their more obscure ones to me?! idk

[Shaun]

yeah I forget about it often (because it's not on an album, I guess). Surprised Chasing Cars wasn't the highest, since I think it was the biggest selling single that year?

[Lewis.]

It'll be Pixie or Leona I think...

[Locke.]

I thought Chasing Cars was #1 :suspect:

[MeMyselfAndI]

I loved Chasing Cars

[Lewis.]

Chasing cars only got to number 6... thought it did a lot better than that too - it's one of their most recognised songs.

[MeMyselfAndI]

Where did Run get too

[Shaun]

edit: #5

[Z]

I think Chasing Cars was more along the lines of it featured somewhere like X Factor or BGT, that kind of thing, where people were reminded of it and bought it in droves, other people would see it on iTunes etc and the cycle continued, it always seemed to be floating around the charts...

[Z]

Re: Chasing Cars... from Wikipedia: As of March 2011, the single has spent 100 weeks on the official UK Top 75 Singles Chart and 145 on the Top 100[5] and has sold 505,000 copies in the UK, despite missing the Top 5.[6]

[Tom4784]

Better In Time, Forgive Me :elephant:

Yes....Those famous number 1 hits.... They didn't even break the top 20 if I remember right.

[Shaun]

I think BIT was a top 5. *does quick stop-check*

Better In Time: #2
Forgive Me: #5

[joeysteele]

I would say of those likely Leona Lewis, just.

[cub]

Leona. She needs a number one with this comeback single. And she will have the X Factor live performance to rely on.

[Callum]

Leona. She needs a number one with this comeback single. And she will have the X Factor live performance to rely on.

The single is released in September, the XF live shows don't start until October.

[Jords]

Leona > Pixie > Snow Patrol > The Sats

All Fired Up is sh!t.

[MeMyselfAndI]

I think BIT was a top 5. *does quick stop-check*

Better In Time: #2
Forgive Me: #5

Thanks Shaun :elephant:

BIT did well in america too. Yay Dezzys wrong

[MeMyselfAndI]

Also Better In Time was just 300 copies off number 1

[Doogle]

What got #1 that week?

[Callum]

Looks like The Saturdays may get the number one

[Smithy]

Imma say Pixie #1
MLJ #2
Saturdays #3

[Maia]

I'd actually be really happy if The Saturdays got #1, they deserve one. Good to see them and Pixie at 2 & 3 atm though :D

[Patrick]

Pixie deserves it.

The song reminds me of CBB8's launch. xD

[Patrick]

Also Better In Time was just 300 copies off number 1

Jesus Christ.

[Callum]

Why Saturdays 3? They are nearest to 1 on iTunes and close to overtaking MLJ

I don't like Pixie's song, her comeback has been rushed and her pitch isn't great in All About Tonight.

[Doogle]

Check the albums

Leona is 5 with Collide
Pixie is 6 with All About Tonight

Gonna be Leona vs Pixie, but I really want saturdays to have a #1, just not with that awful song so I hope it is Pixie.

[Doogle]

Im certain it'll be Pixie now

[lostalex]

Lady Gaga.

[Maia]

Pixie's winning the race :amazed:

[Joelle.]

Pixie should get No1, if not her then Leona. All Fired Up is bollocks even though I usually like The Sats.

[Marc]

I guess I got the week wrong?

[Maia]

I guess I got the week wrong?

Sept 4th - The day the songs are released
Sept 11th - The day the charts will be revealed and we find out the winner

[Doogle]

Well they were released the date you put :p

And agreed completely Joe.

[Ross]

Pixie will get it.

[Benjamin]

Hopefully none of those awful songs will get it. :bored:

[Z]

Snow Patrol don't fare too well in the charts. Leona Lewis has been out of action for a while and has no X Factor to boost sales so I expect around #5 for her; The Saturdays will reach the lower end of the top 10 and Pixie Lott'll probably chart around #7/8. So Leona will do the best I think, but none of them will hit #1.

Gonna be so buzzed if Leona Lewis charts at #5 and Snow Patrol don't make the top 10. ~knows everything~

Still convinced The Saturdays won't ever get a number one single. Pixie's song is pretty rubbish too but it's better rubbish than All Fired Up.

[Zippy]

Snow patrol #11
Leona #4
Saturdays #2
Pixie #1

midweeks

[Maia]

After all the anticipation, Pixie won the race :worship:

[Marc]

Aww Snow Patrol were robbed

[Doogle]

Actually love Collide now, I wish it was released on another week. It should be #1 too

[MeMyselfAndI]

We voted assuming the radio airplay would be similar, not one song being played 6x more a day (is actually true lmao!)

[MeMyselfAndI]

After all the anticipation, Pixie won the race :worship:

It was spoon fed fgs, Leona had no promotion but RoB(which was before her song was released). Then was played on Radio 1 once a day at like 6am..

[Stu]

These grapes be sour.

[MeMyselfAndI]

Well its true check yourself

[Doogle]

Maybe it's because All About Tonight is a better song.

-likes both though-

[Doogle]

And Collide has been raped on like every music channel and radio station I've been listening to this week (which is a lot) so idk what you're on about.

[Smithy]

I think it'll be Pixie, Leona didn't get #1 with Happy and she even performed it on XF that year, she won't be able to do that in September

/hurflip

[InOne]

It was always going to be Pixie :idc:

Leona just can't compete with the pure epicness that is Pixie Lott
