The album would have to be an abysmmal flop for that to happen.

Nothing major league in there (Maroon 5/Ne-Yo/Example at a push) so their main competition is going to be what's in the top 10 from the week(s) before. Aren't these X-Factors gimps performances gonna be up for aftershow download or is that later in the series? That would screw any hope of a Top 10 single straight away.

If Crowded House's new single is any good I might be worried about that one!

I want to re-record Autumnsong as a tribute to Santana?
"Santana, what you done to your career?/ Did you chase the almighty dollar?/ Or has a flashback made you lose your hair?/ Tell me Whatthefuck have you done to your career?"

You should release that Aaron. Could have a top ten hit with that!

Probably Estelle featurig Naz will be the competiton in the singles charts as its currently filled with that sort of crap. Mabe Maroon 5 in the albums as its their first for years. I'm intrigued by the 'Black Country Communion!! whats that all about, I wonder if its something to do with the Pope's visit? although he is visiting Brum not the Black Country

No TOTP these days so even if It's Not War does get to No 1 won't be able to sit down and watch a live version of it on a Friday evening.

no big name competition, but no one sees the manics as big name either. I think single 6
Album 3

I see the Manics as a big name! Oh for wotsisface (sorry, name's gone) introducing them as the 'Mighty Manics' on TOTP!

why do people think they'll do so poorly when they're in a better position than they were with YLAINE?

Bearing in mind this is what the bloody singles chart looks like these days and it's not "Manic Street Preachers Feat. " (and bearing in mind even U2 couldn't bag a top 10 hit with ANY of the songs off their last LP) I reckon single No13, album No6. Hope I'm wrong.

1 [2] > CLUB CAN’T HANDLE ME > Flo RIDA feat. David GUETTA
2 [4] > LOVE THE WAY YOU LIE > EMINEM feat. RIHANNA
3 [-] > MISSING YOU > The SATURDAYS
4 [3] > WE NO SPEAK AMERICANO > YOLANDA BE COOL and DCUP
5 [1] > BEAUTIFUL MONSTER > NE-YO
6 [6] > BILLIONAIRE > Travie MCCOY feat. Bruno MARS
7 [7] > AIRPLANES > B.O.B feat. Hayley WILLIAMS
8 [5] > ALL TIME LOW > The WANTED
9 [8] > PACK UP > Eliza DOOLITTLE
10 [-] > IN MY SYSTEM > Tinchy STRYDER

JDB needs to get a baseball cap, a bad baggy tracksuit from Primark, a few speeding tickets and David Guetta's mobile no. Oh and put some lovely shiny lady buttocks on the album cover (obviously).
