Where is C'mon?Or I missed it in the list?

#143, but it doesn't impact here until March, so that's why it hasn't cracked the itunes top 100 yet

[seana39223 1]

All going well, Gaga should earn her fifth UK number one with the ARTPOP lead single.

Let's hope it's released on a Monday

I feel rather sorry for Justin. His comeback looked so promising at first. Dance is still trumping RnB any day of the week these days. At nearly 32, his age goes against him somewhat, although male singers can make comebacks at more mature ages in a way that females can't. Maybe it would have been a very different story if he'd made a club banger as a lead single and he probably know that too. I respect him for sticking to the music he wants to make, even if it's not what's popular right now.

UK has far too many random #1's :redface:

They debut at #1 and leave the Top 40 in less then 5 weeks :toofunny:

verrrrry rare that happens

Yep. Though it isn't as bad as in 2011 (I think) when there was pretty much a new #1 every week with a few exceptions.

I don't think his age has anything to do with it, the style of S&T just isn't something popular with mainstream audiences and was quite a risky choice. I imagine he has something more radio friendly up his sleeve anyway.

[Jase 12,116]

S&T is great. hopefully it'll start climbing itunes again once R1 start spinning it (they added it straight to the b-list on Wednesday)

[MonsterOfSpain 8,275]

I don't see S&T as much great as you all do... I'll say it's a meh song.

I don't think his age has anything to do with it, the style of S&T just isn't something popular with mainstream audiences and was quite a risky choice. I imagine he has something more radio friendly up his sleeve anyway.

His age is partly a factor, though. Back in the day, he was the king of pop for the 2000's generation, but teens today have Justin Beiber and One Direction to drool over, along with other newer stars like The Wanted and Conor Maynard. Justin isn't relevant to teenager's today - all those downloads probably came from long-time fans in their 20's who wanted him to be successful again. Kinda like how David Bowie's latest single was #1 on iTunes for quite a while: long-time fans wanting them to overthrow the new generation who don't have a clue about good music. But of course, the number of middle-aged Bowie fans with MP3 players is significantly lower than the amount of teens who have them, so his reign didn't last for long. But I must say, men have a much easier time having success in their later years than women do. Women aged 40+ can't seem to make hit records these days and their music can't get radio play (Madonna, Dolly Parton, Cher, Mariah Carey) Even those in their early 30's are struggling (Britney, Xtina, Beyonce). Katy Perry's 28 and she could be the next casualty. I worry about the future of Gaga's sales when she hits 30 too. 30 is usually the cut-off age for a lot of female pop singers with very few exceptions. The world just seems biased against older women making music. As I once saw on the US Charts thread: "The only female artist over 40 who gets frequent radio play is Jennifer Lopez, but that's just because she makes uber-generic music and all the promotion she got from American Idol."

Timberlake #11 midweeks.

Anyone heard of Bingo Players before?

They're fairly new - they've been making music since 2008 with very little success and they've only just been noticed now. Every so often, a new artist/band signed to The Ministry Of Sound comes along with a super generic club banger and it charts really well. Then we never hear from them again.
