Update: Burkey, Robbie, Bublé
Published Friday, Oct 16 2009, 11:12 BST | By Nick Levine | 20 comments
Fancy one last midweeks update before Sunday? Course you damn well do!
Alexandra Burke's still outselling Robbie Williams two-to-one at the top.
Michael Bublé's 'Haven't Met You Yet' has slipped since Tuesday, but it remains well inside the top ten.
Jordin Sparks's 'SOS' is holding firm in the top 15, while Mr Hudson's 'White Lies' is clinging on at the edge of the top 20.
Following all that X Factor malarkey at the weekend, Jennifer Hudson's 'And I'm Telling You' - complete with original pronouns - has shot into the top 25.
At the top of the albums chart, Editors continue to fend off Chipmunk and Shakira. The Saturdays album, meanwhile, has slipped a couple of places since Tuesday.
The big question for next week: where do we think Cheryl Cole's 'Fight For This Love' is going to end up? If you want to make a prediction, just drop it in the box below.

White Lies HAS to get into the top 10. It is such an incredible song! And I am so glad Michael Buble is doing well. Haven't Met You Yet is such a lovely song! I bought it yesterday.

'Fight for This Love' could be number one next week, a year ago her group Girls Aloud that she was in with 'The Promise' went straight to number one, but would she have a solo chart-topper, Cheryl!, i think she could shine on this sunday's miming X Factor. Could she replace last year's winner Alexandra Burke, well she is the judge on The X Factor, a soloist, and singer of a major girl group.

I think we have to see Alex's first-week sales first before we decide what Cheryl might chart. If Bad Boys sell well over 200k then Cheryl doesn't have a chance but it will be very close. If not Cheryl will be number 1. I hope stay Alex for a second week.

Very happy J-Hud is top 30, it is a brilliant song. I think Fight For This Love will shoot to number 1, especially considering how well the preorder has done on itunes. I would love a second week for Bad Boys though.

well good for alexandra even though i'm not a fan but i'm glad she's doing well. hope michael stays in the top 10 and hope saturdays do well. for vheryls personally i think it should chart within to 20 or so but people will be silly enough to make it well in top 10, after this yeqar people making chipmunk, tinchy, etc. no.1 you never know what can happen in this country!!!

I Hate GIRLS ALOUD But Love CHERYL COLE. Fight for this love is an ok song but it doesnt match the sound of Bad Boys, fight for this love was produced by the same person who produced BEYONCE's SWEET DREAMS witch is a fantastic song but did not reach #1, so why shall fight for this love reach #1 its not as good as SWEET DREAMS... It should not even enter the top 5, (because beyonces sweet dreams only reached #5 so fight for this love should reach about #6) But XFACTOR will push it all the way to the top... sooooooooooooo PRODICTABLE. PS Cheryl is sexy,great voice and a incredible judge though!

I would surprised if it wasnt number 1 based on itunes and youtube, as it seems to be have been more widely received than bad boys. number 2 at least!!

Cheryl was no.1 in preorders earlier in the week and is still in the top 3 for pre-orders, that combined with a live performance on the X Factor means that she'll probably go to no.1 next week!

I think Cheryl's "Fight for this Love" will make a #2 position, as well as the album, it will make at least Top 3.

Cheryl will be number one comfortably, judging by its iTunes pre-orders, the fact the remix is number 2 already on Irish iTunes and the video on YouTube has 2.6mil hits compared to Alexandra's 1.8mil. I like both songs, so am happy for either to be number one, but I reckon Cheryl will out-sell Alexandra...

I don't think Cheryl will reach number one as Alexandra's sales so far have been phenominal, and that's without Itunes' figures. She will definitely get number two though!

judging by the amount of pre-orders, Cheryl's song will probably go to no.1 next week. not because it's a good song, but because it's Cheryl Cole.

I believe Cheryl will top the charts next week, Alex will slip to No.2, with Robbie at 5 and the Saturdays out of the Top 10. Miley will make top 20, BEP has not have much promotion either and will not chart. Miley will because she's like Whitney (More fans are intrested)
