Source?

It's been confirmed by HMV that McFly outsold both Leona and Take That on Monday (but that they always have a surge of hardcore fans rush-buying their singles at the start of the week, before fading mid-week).

So, so far it's

1. McFly
2. Leona
3. Take That

Leona will clench it though!

Thank heavens. I'm sure I'm not the only one who was getting tired of that bland, no-mark Sugababes song clogging the number 1 spot. As a number 1 single, it is totally forgettable.

and id image Leona will have a few more appearances planned across the week, such as GMTV, Loose Women type of shows..which will further increase sales. She could be one of the biggest sellers for a while with this song. Probably the biggest one week sales since her debut, or the comic relief 500miles.

Britney would have done better if Gimme More hadn't been leaked over a month ago.

"Bleeding Love" was first aired over a month ago and many people ripped the HQ song from Leona's music player on her official site or downloaded it some other way like on blogs. I thought this might hinder her sales but she is still selling amazingly.

It warms me that N-Dubz are no where near the Top 5.

Leona is the first X-factor contestant to have her follow up single a number 1 (well at the moment).

I really don't see what the big deal is about TT new single, i think it's kinda of bland to be honest.

I think it would've been #1 last week, had the physical been out also. Whose smart idea was it for the week gap?! I don't follow UK charts, but seriously, do they do this for most artists? Have it available to download one week, then release the CD the next? Stupid idea.

Congrats to Leona, really hope she stays at #1.

Any other week TT would have been number 1 they have sold incredibly well shifting more copies than Patience did in its first few days.
Leona's song seems to drone on & on I'm not a fan. britney I thought would have been higher

You have to wonder why TT chose to release their single this week, knowing that Leona's was out and their chances of a no.1 were severely hampered. Waiting a week would have seemed a better idea?

However, perhaps it is not as bizarre as it looks. The possibility of a "chart battle" always sends sales higher than normal (their no.2 is set to top 100,000 compared to Leona's 200,000, and that is about ten times what you can need to get no.1). Thus, the buzz over the battle for no.1 gets people out buying the record. I am guessing that they or their record company may have chosen to sacrifice being no.1 for the additional sales this may have generated?

Or am i just being silly now?

Bingo. I almost feel like buying the TT record myself to keep that wailing, screechy Leona off the number one spot...but I think I'd rather spend the money on a large Toblerone.

I absolutely loathe Take That, the song this time round is actually good but 54,000 sales isn't amazing for a band that is meant to be the cream of the crop from the UK. Leona's Bleeding Love seems to play every 10mins in our block of flats everyones caught on to it, amazing.

Quite agree. If they want it to get to No.1 then release both on a Sunday to give it as much chance as poss. I take it that that is what has happened to Leona and Take That this week? Both are good and originally I thought TT would do it, but leona is getting MUCH more promotion and air play and have to say I really like it even though I generally prefer the likes of Shack (of course - see my name!!!!), The Smiths and Linkin Park!

I like your thinking - I have just bought myself a bag of M&S choc covered raisins. Yum yum!

Wouldn't have made a difference anyway.
