MESS at you guys thinking Sirens will block Cheryl from #1. Sirens is Cher's first UK release after 2 years of trying to make it in America and is not being played on any radio station. The video only has 3 million views in 2 months and Cher has no promo lined up. Cher's not big enough to be on shows like BGT anymore. None of the promo tracks from Sorry I'm Late have charted in the UK top 200 (in other words, they all sold less than 1000 copies first week). Sirens pre-order isn't even in the UK iTunes top 500 at the minute. I will be SHOCKED if Sirens makes the top 10 so #1 is out of the question.
I'm not trying to hate on Cher (I have SIL on pre-order) but she is done. She has spent 2 years promoting in America and her album is on course to miss the top 10 there, selling less than 20k copies. Cher is done commercially.

Nice research, but there's one point that turns it invalid.
US charts NEVER influenced UK charts or it's charts in any way or vice versa, the UK don't follow what's being played in the US or whatsoever so it doesn't matter for the UK release if American radio refuses to play Sirens.
Cher hasn't done promo in the UK since JANUARY 2012, but everytime they mention her on a TV show her name trends in the UK on Twitter (Last weekend on BGT somenos sang STAY and she started trending on twitter).
Sorry I'm late and Sirens were put in the UK iTunes out of sudden for pre orders, without Cher being there for 2 years, so do you really expected it to be slaying so far? Btw the last promo single got top 100 in the UK iTunes.
2 weeks ago she announced she's back in the UK in June and July and She will do a lot there to promote her music AND her new image since she's changed so much which will get people talking a lot.. She has already photoshoot booked with UK mags and a radio tour in the UK.
I'm not saying she will block Cheryl but you can't say for sure she will flop based on these stats.
I don't even know if Cher will chart well.
