Leona vs. BEP; Robbie vs. JLS
Published Wednesday, Nov 11 2009, 12:57 GMT | By Nick Levine | 29 comments
Technical glitches, two nailbiting chart battles and a truly incredible Lady GaGa video to take in... can you stand any more? Course you can!
Well, Leona's still holding off Black Eyed Peas at the top of the singles chart. The current tallies? 'Happy's sold 49,000 copies, while 'Meet Me Halfway' is on 44,000.
N-Dubz' 'I Need You' is holding strong in the top five, but Sugababes' 'About A Girl' has been elbowed out by Cheryl Cole's 'Fight For This Love'.
Britney's '3' remains a couple of places outside the top five.
And GaGa? Well, cracking video or not, 'Bad Romance' has slipped right to the edge of the top 15.
'I've Got Nothing' by Chartjackers is inside the top 40... to the tune of two places.
Over on the albums chart, Robbie's still in the lead, but it's tighter than Russell Brand's trousers up there. In fact, there are fewer than 2,000 sales in it.
Seeing as there's so much going on this week, how do you lot fancy a special bonus update tomorrow?

BEP could very well boot leona to number 2, as first day of release leona sold 36k nd black eyed peas sold 30k but the following day BEP sold 14k where as leona sold 13k which could mean this happens. Gaga for top 10 this week (number 1 in later weeks of course). Miley hws she dooing (both album and single). Sugababes for top 5, get cheyl cole and jls out of the top 5 so sugas and britney can climb.

Well we really want Leona Lewis to get to number one this Sunday with 'Happy' and but the week after that, is The X Factor Finalists' 'You Are Not Alone' going straight to number one, which will be the second time a charity single will be in for the Great Ormond Street Hospital, but the song 'You Are Not Alone' will be topping the charts for the second time, the first being was Michael Jackson originally in 1995 and also a proper pop promo will be premiered on November 29th for the song.
