THE bootylicious juggernaut of BEYONCE and SHAKIRA is pulling clear of the ARCTIC MONKEYS in the race for the No1 single.I told you yesterday that the US/Colombian pair were leading the Sheffield rockers by just nine copies in the battle to be on top on Sunday — but that gap has widened to 1,500.
The divas have shifted around 15,200 copies of Beautiful Liar compared to the Monkeys’ 13,700 sales of Brianstorm.
I reckon the lads have done themselves out of a No1 with their single’s unusual release.
It was available to download for two weeks before it hit the shops — instead of the usual one.
But the cheeky chimps probably won’t care — having stuck two fingers up to chart success before.
After their hit debut album they released EP Who The F*** Are Arctic Monkeys? — which was not eligible for the charts at all.
