Update: JLS, Beyoncé, Noisettes

Had enough of the Madonna debate yet? Good, it's time for our Friday update.

The top three still runs 'Beat Again' - 'Supernova' - 'I Gotta Feeling'.
Lady GaGa's 'Paparazzi' remains a couple of places outside the top five, while Beyoncé's 'Sweet Dreams' is still inside the top ten.
There's good news for Jordin Sparks, with 'Battlefield' knocking on the door of the top ten again, and Battlefield inside the top ten on the albums chart.
Noisettes' 'Never Forget You' is still inside the top 20... just.
There's no sign of Pink's 'Funhouse', Eminem's 'Beautiful', Ciara's 'Work' or Britney's 'Radar' in the top 40.
So, do JLS have it all sewn up? And could 'Battlefield' finally sneak into the top ten this Sunday? Predictions in the space below if you feel so inclined.

black eyed peas will be #1 this week. theybe been no1 on itunes since thursday night. JLS mr hudson will be no 2 and no3 in that order. beyonce will be in the top10 but not the top5. jordin sparks will either just come loose of the top10 or just catch it. her album is top10 though. noisettes, will manage to stay inside the top20. however i cant see it getting inside the top15.

Britney's Radar won't be released officially as a download until July 27th. It has entered the chart a week before being released. It's physical CD release is not until sometime in August.

Makson - Battlefield has reached #11 on the UK Singles Chart...that means that it was the UK's 11th best-selling single of the week...TWICE! how is that a flop?? a song doesn't have to reach the Top 10 to be a hit you know...in fact, surely anything that reaches the Top 40 can be classed off as a hit! Considering there are so many songs available to download, old and new, popular artist or not, a song ANYWHERE in the Top 40 is surely nothing to be dissapointed in because a significant number of people must be buying these 40 songs, even the ones that peak lower down the Top 40...

No, Battlefield is a rubbish song regardless if Leona or Rihanna released it. Good riddance that it has flopped.

How close to the top 10 is the fantastic Battlefield by Jordin Sparks. This song deserves to be in the top 10, if anyone else like Rihanna, Beyonce or even Leona Lewis had released it as a single it would have been number 1 for sure!!! Any news on Cascad's single or albums placing this week? Go Jordin go Battlefield!!

Radar has its full release on Monday, potentially this could be this first Britney song to miss the Top 40 completely! Ciara's Work might just sneak in there next week as well... glad to see Beyonce and Jordin Sparks doing well too :)

'Ciaras doesn't deserve to go in the top 40' Get out, hater. :/ Ciara works damn hard and even if you don't like the song (Which is personally my favourite single this year) the video is still really great, and far more interesting to watch than anything we've seen from Beyonce lately.

NEVER FORGET YOU all the way, needs to be number 1 soon because Shiingai's vocals are amazing, Supernova also could sneak infront of Beat Again because Beat Again is rubbish. P!NK, Ciara and Britney will enter next week. Paparazzi is dropping out which is a shame and Sweet Dreams will surly chart higher in the comming weeks. Battlefield will enter the top 10 but i dont think Chicane will fall out of the top 10 i think it will be Chipmunk. I Gotta Feeling is so good defo contendor.

hopefully sweet drams and ppaparazzi will climb into the top 5. Gutting pink is not in top 40 but ciaras dosen't desrve to go in the top 40. Plus i don't think brit\anny is released yet.

'Radar' is in the Top 80... And Jordin Sparks may just sneak in the Top 10 by Sunday with single 'Battlefield', it is currently just over 1000 copies away from Chicane (who is at 10). Lady Gaga's 'Paparazzi' is still at 7 behind 'When Love Takes Over' unfortunately.

Good news for Jordin, come on girl. Push push push! Fightstars cover of Battlefield was amazing in the Live Lounge. Anyhoo, where's the review for Jordin's album? Personally, I like it, so wonder what you thought?

COME ON BATTLEFIELD. This is so frustrating, its come close to the Top 10 three times! Pleased she has a Top 10 album on her hands though, wasn't expecting that!
