I predict that Lily Allen - 'The Fear' and The Saturday's - 'Issues' will be top 10 tracks, possibly both number one..

Yes I like the Saturdays too

Played Saturdays Issues yesterday and it was pretty popular although Up went down better. Had it on the list to play anyway but the birthday girl requested it. She came up and said "Have you got Issues" Roadie replied "boy have we got issues......" but she didn't smile, gave a rather blank look

I remember watching a Panorama programme back in the day documenting how record / CD sales at Woolworths virtually dictated which tracks became hits and which didn't. This had the knock on effect of massively affecting the state of the Top 40 singles chart. Obviously downloads play a much bigger part in the Top 40 today BUT taking into consideration how big a part Woolworths used to play, I wonder just how much effect the loss of Woolies will have on the chart?

'Issues' is #6 this week...I am correct so far.

Don't think 'The Fear' is out for another week or 2 yet.

Trying to match my other Lily Allen predicton in 2006....can't find the post...looks like it's been lost in the tundra.

got a pre release dvd of the fear in early December and played it at a disco the day it was first aired on bbc, went down very well as i had the in house projector fixed up aswell!

Not exactly sticking you're neck out there Olly, picking two songs that are getting massive airplay.

True..we'll see if either get to Number 1 ;-)

'Issues' is #4 this week.

Don't think it will get any higher now though..

I hope not, it's already getting on my nerves. I think it's the next line must rhyme with 'issues' theme going on.

Gone down to #7 this week as suspected

And what is number one this week.....

Should have put £££ on it.

good prediction, knocked lady gaga off as well..

got the fear a while back, but i must say it's one of those tracks that grows, as i was expecting something a bit different from lily allen after Smile & LDN etc.

it works really well, how have you found it at gigs?

Nothing worse than a No1 that you cant play @ a kids party.Ive looked hi n lo for a radio edit.Tthe 7 digital dl version is full blown and mums of 7 yr olds arnt impressed @ colourful language.
