How happy is Leona feeling this morning?
Published Tuesday, Nov 10 2009, 10:43 GMT | By Nick Levine | 36 comments
What a week it is chart-wise! With this in mind, we'll skip the usual ropey joke and get straight down to business.
Leona's 'Happy' is currently ahead of BEP's 'Meet Me Halfway', having sold 36,000 copies to its rival's 30,000.
JLS's 'Everybody In Love' is still in the top three, with N-Dubz' 'I Need You' and Sugababes' 'About A Girl' completing the top five.
And Britney? Well, '3' is currently a couple of places off the top five, right ahead of Ke$ha's 'TiK ToK'.
Chris Brown's 'I Can Transform Ya' is now just outside the top 25, while Pixie Lott's 'Cry Me Out' is just outside the top 35.
However, there's no sign of Will Young's 'Hopes & Fears' in the top 40 yet.
Over on the albums chart, well, brace yourselves... Robbie's sold around 74,000 thus far, but JLS have shifted nearly 80,000. ATTENTION! Have you lot seen this?
The Miley album, meanwhile, lies between the 15 and 20 marks.
Blimey! What do we think of all that then?

LOL Liam Halls, Miley Cyrus deserving of a top 3 place?? I don't think so, as do many others and IMO, her absence from the top 5 shows that there IS still good taste in this country. Go Leona, however, am kinda gutted the babes aren't higher :(

well no surprise that Leona is leading the pack but I thought she was going to mount a serious challenge to Mrs Cole for biggest selling single of the year....but only 36k copies sold so far?? That seems very low.

I'm soo glad Britney's hot new track '3' is firmly in the top 10, it's doing really well on the download charts so far, it definitely deserves a place in the top 3 on Sunday!!

I get what alot of you are saying about leona...That she can't get a #1 without the x factor < I think she could and probably will if she releases Outta My Head < That song is going to be her next #1 worldwide hit. And lets not forget Better In Time went to #2 without x factor + Better in time was 302 copies away from going to #1!!!!. And i can't believe N-Scrubs are beating the sugababes, No actually....I can't believe BEP,JLS + N Scrubs are beating the babes!!,The sugababes should be #2...#1 if leona wasn't realeasing but happy is a lovely song so she deserves the number one trot.

I seriously hope Leona does manage to claim the number one this week. BEP new song is bloody horrible in comparison. I think it will be a complete shock if Robbie doesn't get the number one album - thing is I haven't seen much promotion for it so JLS could have it in the bag! Good luck Leona and Robbie. If Leona fails to get the top position this week I am 100% sure she will in the album chart next week! :)

I seriously hope JLS don't beat Robbie in the album charts. It is much closer between BEP and Leona than I thought it would be, they may just take it from her. Shame about Will but it hasn't exactly had a lot of promo so I'm not surprised.

I think Leona's happy is a truly beautiful song, both lyrics and melody. Perhaps her critics should try listening to the album Echo. There is no way that Leona is ever going to fade away, so sorry to disappoint you Gareth. Perhaps you should have watched Leona on the Paul O Grady show last night, wearing her lovely jeans and top and giving a very good, lively interview.

Oh dear on one cares anymore for Will Young. Time for him to Leave Right Now me thinks!
