Will Adele have a #1 UK Singles with Skyfall? Last week it was #4. This week probably at #2 unless it can close the gap with Swedish House Mafia. Skyfall is ~10,000 behind after 3 days (Sunday,Monday,Tuesday).
i really didn't expect SHM to sell this much, especially since imo this song is their worst single yet
congrats to em though, would be fitting if they got #1 with their final single
It was a bad choice ADELE releasing her single on Friday.
It was released that day because that was the 50th anniversary of Bond.
Anyway I think SHM deserve to have a #1 with their last single because of the great songs they've done previously (i.e. Save The World Tonight) - but this particular song doesn't deserve to be #1 ahead of the great Adele.
