Ive heard the TT about 3 times now and think it is going to looked back at in a few years time as one of their best. Leona's song is also very good in that Maria Carey style. I wonder if there will be an uptempo dance mix of it? Havent a clue who will win though as i am not privy to the spending habits of every record buyer in the country!

sadly leona will win and the better track- i.e take that will have to make do with number2. with the x factor exposure this will catapult leona to number 1, we'll have to wait for some time to see if she can stand on her own two feet.

Is that a joke? All 3 are manufactured with Leona being the latest of the 3 along the conveyor belt all pre-packaged and ready to sell.

Don't care who wins as not a fan of any of them particularly but do think TT have turned themselves in to a very good mature pop band these days who have the knack of releasing some good tunes.

Leona's just sound like the kind of thing you'd hear in the early 90's.

Britney Will not be in competition with her or oasis or take that her album and single release have been pushed forward by 3 weeks because of all the leeks through the internet


"Gimme More" is released on dowloads on Monday, i for one and many other thousand Britney supporters will be downloading it off I-tunes on October 15th

I want Leon Lewis or take that to get it, the songs are both amazing

Does no one think that Oasis stand a chance of getting no1 on the 22nd then?

Two god awful songs from take that and McFly - I will eat my hat if Leona doesn't get to number one.

Wow, how clever are Britneys managers, to move from a guaranteed No 1 week to one where the fiercest week of the year awaits.

My vote goes with Take That the songs going down as one of the best on their tour so far plus they wrote it x

she'll be number1 next week on downloads alone

IMO they have made the right move, if she'd released in November (3months after the mtv awards debacle) the public would have tired of the song....and she'd have been up against Kylie, who is going to be number1 no matter what the album is like.

I think Take That will win this battle...dont forget they are on tour, which always helps a songs performance. Plus its on a hugely hyped movie (thought it did flop in the USA) and as someone has said they are on Jonathan Ross too.

Leona will get it, Great song.

LL is very overrated. Personally I'd rather have TT at number one, original song and sound.

so is Leona's her video hasn't even been released yet, I think her record company want the song around for a while.

I think Leona will definitely get the number one spot. I cant see Take That or Mcfly getting it at all.

The bookies seem to think Leona Lewis will get number one but the betting is quite close and early sales will dictate whether or not the market changes.

McFly haven't a prayer.

I think it was clever, leaving the BL video until the last moment. It is being blasted on the music channels just at the right time.

Absolutely. The people behind her have excelled and targetted the public at just the right moment. Whereas Take That's track has been on You tube for a while now and the release date has been known for a while the impact Leona's team obviously wanted will probably pay off.

Getting number ones these days isn't about quality of song its all about image and margetting.

Having heard the two songs Leona's is better IMO. Rule The World isn't one of Take That's best IMO it isn't a patch on Patience.

Take That please (already ordered the single).

Don't like Leona's song.
pow wow
20-10-2007
As much as it pains me to admit it the new McFly song is actually... good. Very diffrent from their other stuff.

I can't stand the new Take That song. After the flop of there last single, i would not be suprised if it flopped.

Leona for #1
McFly for #2
Britney for #3 (she is releasing Gimme More on Monday, already #1 on iTunes)
Take That #4 (at a push)

Take That will not flop.

Ignore their last release they did no promotion, it received barely any airplay and was the third single off a two million selling album. To be honest I don't know why they released it, it was a mistake. If you ask a lot of people what Take That's last single was half will say Shine which pretty much proves the point.

McFly will not get close on sales to the top of the charts.
