great song, by a proper artist. unfortunatly hes not 'officially' number 1, due to the charity single going to number 1 by default, and bep still holding on at number 2 - which is more than likely thanx to x factor still. when will this x factor takeover end?

At least made it to No.1 in America I suppose. Hopefully he makes top 5 here because he obviously won't get to No.1 as BEP and the X-Factor Finalist will be in the way.

Title - Jason Derulo is #1

First post - "unfortunately he's not officially #1"

I don't see how he's more or less of a proper artist than the Black Eyed Peas?

They've had two number one's recently without help from the X Factor.

good song, but at this time of the year it never had a chance of getting no.1, unless he performs on x factor, which won't happen. wouldn't it be great if all the mainstream artists didn't bother releasing anything while the x factor live shows are on, to stick it to them?

This post is hysterical, jason derulo's track is just as much of a shameless cover as the X factor single (its a cover of the far superior "hide and seek" by imogen heap in case you're wondering) Neither are deserving of number 1.

everyone knows Derulo's song samples Imogen Heap's Hide and Seek, it's no big secret.

and oh yes, of course, as you say, Hide & Seek is 'far superior', isn't it? thanks for putting it like that.

Just because it uses the same chorus doesn't mean it's a full cover.

Copying the entire chorus and the entire chord sequence from the original song requires about as much creative input as simply doing a straight cover.

i love BEP, and they deserved the number 1. but they got it because of x factor, and they are still selling because of x factor.

Yeh

Although he's #1 on ITUNES maybe BEP or Leona are selling more CD's in stores
GREAT SONG! though

Jay Sean should have been #1 though but Xfactor ruined it

What a creatively bankrupt track.

Buy the original instead - Imogen Heap's 'Hide and Seek' is a fantastic record. And the only memorable part of his song. And probably the only reason it's sold so well. She deserves the credit, not him.

Thing is I've heard Imogen's 'Hide and Seek' and there is no way it would appeal to the all the people who have bought 'Watcha Say'. There both different styles.

He's been #1 for almost half of the week on ITUNES
But depends if he gets mainy CD Sales
Think he will be defo #1 this week, although Xfactor may have something to do with this weeks #1 I fear
