Well, with Euro 2004 kicking off this weekend, there could be three football songs in the top ten this weekend.
Midweeks suggest that that dreadful reworking of the Farm's Alltogethernow, the official song of the England football team, will move up a couple of places after entering the chart at number ten last Sunday. Meantime the top ten will also feature new entries from 'Born In England', the football song created by Xfm's breakfast show, and 4-4-2's reworking of 'Come On Eileen' - called 'Come On England' (of course). Despite the footie fever, none are likely to knock current number one Mario Winans off the top spot.
Commenting on the midweeks, HMV's Gennaro Castaldo told reporters yesterday: "None of them are going to knock Mario Winans off the number one position, but they all have a good chance of being in the top 10. Midweek sales show The Farm song has gone up a couple of places to number eight and 'Born In England' was the 10th best seller when it was released on Monday. But 'Come On England' is doing the best so far. Based on the sales it did on Monday it's currently number two and has a very good chance of being in the top 10."
