Beyonce is currently ahead of Britney Spears, Leona Lewis and Christina Aguilera in the race to be UK number one this weekend.
The singer's single 'If I Were A Boy' is number two in the midweek charts, two places ahead of Spears' 'Womanizer', while Lewis' 'Forgive Me' is at six.
Aguilera's single, 'Keeps Gettin' Better', is at number fourteen.
As previously reported on Gigwise, the chart race, dubbed 'Super-Monday', has provided a welcome boost to struggling singles sales in the UK.
But none of the songs is expected to usurp the UK's current number one, The X Factor finalists cover of Mariah Carey's 'Hero'.
Meanwhile, Beyonce will perform at the MTV Europe Music Awards in Liverpool this evening (November 6th).

- britney has to be higher than all of them omg i think its being set up for beyonce!

- if i were a boy is the deepest song there. it has emotions. not the same word during the chorus

- Who cares about how 'deep' a song is? That's a complete cop-out for weak artists. Britney makes the best music, as is reflected in her sales.

- beyonce has to go to da top chart on every world cuz if i were a is a smash big hit in d world ....qeen B no 1 spot she is a DIVA sahsha fierce .

Beyonce is on a higher echelon. Sorry Brit fans :-(
Britney performs like an old woman now.
Leona is as boring as a bowl of cornflakes in water with artificial sweetener
Don't discount Pink. She's excellent @ what she does.
