Biggest chart battle of the year? I think so! All these albums are released on 12th November 2007.

Ok, so the only real contenders for Number One are Leona and Spice Girls but the others should get Top 10s.

Who do you think could do it? My money's on Leona cos her single is just massive atm and Spice Girls comeback/farewell single isn't being very well received which could affect their album sales. However, there's so much hype around them will Leona not be able to fight them off?

I'm gonna be getting both albums but I am routing for Leona to get that all-important top spot.

Edit:

Craig David's new album is out that week as well!! He's been gone a long time, hasn't he? Doubt he'll even get Top 20, let alone 10 - I haven't heard any promotion for single or album - only saw it way down the page on Play.com!! Lol!

I think Leona will be huge and easily No.1. with maybe 300k sales. Don't like her myself though.

Leona, without a doubt!

Keep an eye on Celine Dion though, think some people may under estimate her. She's plugging it SO much!

The Killers album is a b sides & covers album so will probably be fan base only.

Take That is a re-issue with that new track on.

Leona....all the way!!

Leona is like a steamroller at the moment, its not really going to be a contest.

Apparently Leona's album isn't very good, 'Bleeding Love' is said to be as good as it gets.

Err, is it not common to use the best song as the lead single?

The album has got some more great singles lined up.

"Take a Bow" is another #1 for definite.

Poor Leona, first up against teen idols #1 - Take That
Now up against teen idols #2 Spice Girls
AND also you forgot:
teen idols #3 WESTLIFE!

My money's on Spice Girls. Will be buying both Leona and Spice Girls.

Take That, Celine, and Killer's haven't a hope in hell!

She trashed Westlife and Take That, why not the Spice Girls!

Nah, just kidding. I think Spice Girls have got it in the bag.

Having heard quite a few tracks off Leona's album, there are a good few singles there as well as "Bleeding Love" which I thought was great.

However, the Spice Girls are massive. They really should get it, and if they don't then it's going to look really bad for their big comeback. Even if their sales are great (which they will be) the tabloids will love the idea of Spice Girls flopping.

I'm just telling you what the critics are saying, no need to get snappy.

No doubt you're using the review from the Times?

They were hardly going to praise it were they? They probably only listen to classical!

Actually I've seen three reviews, all of which gave her two stars.

The Spice Girls will do it, they have a huge backing behind them Their greatest hits album has had 4 stars from the media and with their tour coming up their bound to reach the top spot.

My Prediction

Spice Girls - 1#
Leona Lewis - 3#
The Killers - 6#
Celiene Dion - 8#

Im not aware of Take That realsing a new album ?

I think Leona will get it. I would have said the Spice Girls a few weeks ago, but Leona is like a steam train at the moment!

Aye, all from broadsheets. Didn't like "Back to Black" from what I remember.

Leona. Hands down. I like SG but Im not wasting money buying an album of songs I already have! Greatest Hits are pathetic money spinning piecesof rubbish. Only one song at this stage will be new-and thats Voodoo. If I like it, Ill download it.

New talent, new songs win every time for me.

Not everyone thinks like that though more's the pity, G4 sold 250k in their first week, with an album full of covers.

Yay! Go Leona! So glad she's getting so much support. I agree with what people are saying about the Spice Girls album - not enough new songs to get it to number one.
Leona all the way!

Not my cup of tea, but can't see past Leona for the top spot, especially the way she's selling at the moment.
