But it doesn't have to happen this week - there doesn't look like being any high new entries over the next few weeks. I'm not that bothered whether it gets to #1 or not, #3 is fine.

If you're a fan of someone , you hope they get to no1.

plus I wasn't over the top just would have been nice for it to do well.

it will definitely be number 1 it's not officially released untill next week.

It's in the top 3 now I think Rhianna will get number 1 on sunday and Lady Gaga will get it the week after and keep it for weeks!

It was released yesterday

I think it will get #1 next week too. I seem to remember Bad Romance hung around a few weeks before making #1 (and then it returning to #1 a few weeks after dropping)

iTunes also released a second EP last night for Telephone with the video which will probabbly add a load more sales today.

If fans bought the single it would get to number 1 . It does deserve the number 1 spot.

I think with some UK promotion in the next couple of weeks it could still get there....

Totally. If your a chart fan and a fan of a particular act, then you do want your act to get to number 1.

Its still early days for this single-it could happen.

The charts now behave more like they did in the 80s than the 90s/00s so songs can take a few weeks to get to number-it makes it more exciting.

i think its likely to get number one unless there is a huge surge in sales for the current top 3.

I will be shocked if it doesn't get number 1, because out of every single Gaga's released, this has the most factors in support of success. Star collab, epic music video, radio friendly, not too 'Gaga'. I could continue..

I'm not a GaGa fan, so excuse the ignorance, was Telephone on her album??

Surely if it was that might make a difference to how high it charts?

I hate that song that's the current no1... Don't think it will be major competition cos it's alreayd had two weeks. There might be a bit of competition from that little Bieber kid tho, people seem to love him for some bizarre reason...

The single has been consistently selling for the past 15 weeks, its available on an album which has consistently been in the top 10. The video has only just started to air in a 4 minute segment. It probably won't go to #1 but will sell more then enough

I remember thinking it was a dead cert for number 1 the first time I heard it, but I don't think it will be now (because of the factors listed above). But I think high, consistent sales are the main thing. Number 1s don't really mean much anymore. It will still be one of the biggest sellers of 2010 I reckon.

Ever since I first heard this song, it's been bugging me as to what other song it sounds like - I'm talking about the melody during the second and fourth lines of each verse, i.e:-

".... service in the club you say, say"

"... hear you I'm kinda busy"

"...tired of my phoned ri-ringing"

"...coz I'll be dancing"

Does anyone have any idea what else this sounds like?! It's driving me nuts!

I think the song still has a chance to get to number 1-look at what happened in the album charts last week with Gorillaz and Boyzone. But who knows?
