I have never heard of half of these artists and actually I don't think it'll be a hard competition though who knows... Least I hope so!

Well, Arctic Monkeys have got the no.1 slot booked.

According to that list, it's an EP. Are they allowed to count? I'd have to make Mcfly favourite for number one, unfortunately.

I just listened to the british top 20 last night and I think even if the Boys released It's a Sin it would still not be the number one it is. The landscape is...so strange, so out of this world...meaningless tunes, silly lyrics, sillier bands and terrible voices. Only number one song seemed to have some substance but I heard that it was supported by Chris??? from Coldplay and it shows...bland and boring. So if Stupid achieves top ten this should be a landmark success..

I'll listen tomorrow to UKtop40 (it's here on radio on Fridays), but don't think there's a lot of worthy songs. Really all that I can say: do poeple actually listen to this??? Do they pay their money for this? Silly, stupid lyrics, no catchy tunes, only arrangements sometimes are good. Voices are so awful... If people really can like it than I can't forecast anything at all for the Boys...

I remember listening to the top 20 when miracles came out and was thinking the same thing....the psb track sounded so different than anything else on the survey, like it almost didnt belong there

Looking at this, PSB might just make it into the top10

the last call · #9 Post by **the last call** » Thu 06 Apr 2006, 9:55 pm

There is always some hip-hop s@@t singles coming out from nowhere, so the competition list is not therefore complete. I believe it is going to get into top 10, but it will be something about 7-9 position.

I'm quite confident I'm with stupid will go top 10. Single sales are very low at the moment and with the fanbase likely to snap up the three physical formats and maybe download the remixes too it should sell easily enough units to make the top 10.

Really? Hope so...
I've pre-ordered from the official site 7", CD and DVD single

Does that count as 3 sales? And where is it possible to download the single also to increase it's sales/chart position?

Hi Vicki, unfortuantely I don't think your pre-orders will count towards the UK chart because you have a non-UK address. I could be wrong, though. As for the downloads, I've never downloaded a single before so I'm not sure what the relevant sites are for that but I presume the Official Site will provide an appropriate link nearer the time.
