I'd be happy either way too but I really think DJ Fresh is gonna take it.

It's currently #2 and #7 on iTunes. Shame there weren't any remixes released for this single. I loved the live acoustic and stripped versions of "Heaven" they released.

Looking at the combined figures, I think this might just nab #1 if the trend continues.

I can't remember many occasions when a song has two versions in the iTunes top 10! Good on her!

It's a great little R&B song, you can't really fault it.
Very pleased it's doing so well, I bought the single version yesterday.

I'm glad this is doing so well, it's a brilliant song. It's a pity that they deleted the single version though, that was a big mistake.

I also don't understand why they did that, the single version has been on iTunes for how long? 3 days?

She performed this on the Live Lounge earlier in the week and it was so beautiful.

And #1 in Ireland! :D

I'm guessing they wanted one version to climb to #1 but it was a silly decision, multiple copies is always better than one #1 entry!

WOW this is AMAZING! It's the first song from her that I've heard and I'm truly astonished. Can't wait to hear more from Emeli.

"Next to Me" was used twice on Dancing on Ice tonight! :D It's already back up to #2 on iTunes. I'd love it if she got to #1 this week.
