Early retail reports for this week suggest Busted and the Red Hot Chili Peppers, between them, will end Mike Skinner's reign at the top of the charts this Sunday. Busted's double a-side single - '3AM / Thunderbirds Are Go' - is expected to top the singles chart, while the Chili Pepper's new live album is currently the best selling album of the week.
A number one will end a good month for Busted, with the boy band reportedly about to sign a TV contract with MTV and a £500,000 sponsorship deal with Pepsi. They also hope 'Thunderbirds Are Go', taken from the new Thunderbirds movie, will help them break the US.
