Olly Murs everywhere

Posted by: Joe. 22nd March 2015, 12:18 AM

Oh gosh. Cheryl's pre-orders not factoring in is going to make this even floppier.

Posted by: Markbr 22nd March 2015, 12:22 AM

Cheryl without her fanbase pre-orders God sake

Posted by: James1987 22nd March 2015, 12:27 AM

I think my top 40 prediction for Cheryl might have been over optimistic

Hoping to see Jess at number 1 when I check in the morning!

'Only Human' is so much better than anything she's done in ages, which is a shame.

Oh well.

Never realized the Le Youth remix for "Hold My Hand" was so high!

Posted by: ┌ ╫ ┘ 22nd March 2015, 05:51 AM

that jess glynne song is clearly one of the year's most memorable number 01's and and a career-maker; i predict billboard top 10 later in the year...

Jess Glynne has an amazing voice. Not feeling the track itself yet but it sounds like a grower.

Posted by: omrimayo 22nd March 2015, 09:19 AM

8. Jess Glynne - "Hold My Hand"

Without the pre orders.. impressive.. and she has a huge pre orders.

Posted by: ___∆___ 22nd March 2015, 09:21 AM

^^ I don't understand the new pre-orders thing everyone is talking about? Are they no longer added to the iTunes chart? Thanks

Posted by: ▲Rob▲ 22nd March 2015, 09:27 AM

They don't show on the iTunes chart on release week. But the sales are still counted towards the official chart.

Posted by: ► ▲ N 22nd March 2015, 09:27 AM

this is the new 'Why is 'What Now' back in the chart?'

(pre-orders only count towards the iTunes chart when they chart as pre-orders, instead of the song getting an instantly high position because of built up pre-orders)

Posted by: omrimayo 22nd March 2015, 09:27 AM

IT's already number 5 BTW...
But yeah, it doesn't count as the day of release, so it needs to climb like old times.. but the sales on the chart is still count of course.

Posted by: gavindeejay 22nd March 2015, 09:31 AM

It's out on Tuesday as an instant grat.

Im team Jess this week!

Cheryl getting dat top 200 smash

Jess Glynne should be #1 very soon and Sigma are on course for a top 10 hopefully

Posted by: Mart!n 22nd March 2015, 09:55 AM

The Sigma track is not really that brilliant as their previous 2 hits, that was expected to be honest. On the other hand, pardon the pun, Jess is on course for her first solo #1

02. Jess Glynne - Hold My Hand
20. Sigma ft Labrinth - Higher

Posted by: JSG 22nd March 2015, 10:59 AM

OMG OMG OMG yes JESS SLAAAAAAAAY ME! What a fantastic song to be her first official solo #1 She really deserves it and this is without a doubt my fave song of the year so far And let me get this right, pre-orders haven't been added on to her position yet so this is just from people downloading it right now?

Posted by: Rogue 22nd March 2015, 11:23 AM

She's showing up as number 1 on my feed... JUSTICE IS SERVED.

Posted by: omrimayo 22nd March 2015, 11:26 AM

She is.. and without Huge pre orders.. so.. 100K+ for sure.

Cheryl up to 112....... Really don't like the radio mix... Original is such a better version

Such a great Number 1!

Posted by: Dobbo 22nd March 2015, 11:40 AM

This will be my fave #1 of the year so far, but I'm still waiting for something I completely love, have to go back 6 months for the last one!

Yes... if it wasn't for Sam Smith would have had 3 great #1s on a trot

Ed Sheeran & Rudimental the week after

Posted by: liamk97 22nd March 2015, 01:11 PM

Are we sure Ed Sheeran will be #1 next week? The pre-orders haven't suggested #1 to me, even if it is added to the original version.

Posted by: JosephStyles 22nd March 2015, 01:19 PM

Nice to see Cheryl climbing a bit more now, up to #84! Still not gonna be top 40 at the end of the week and might not even re-peak but oh well.

Luke Friend's pre-order is #809, really impressed at how well this is doing with no support, wondering if it might still make the top 40?

Posted by: mr_aly 22nd March 2015, 01:24 PM

I'm very pleased with this #1. I've loved every #1 this year except for Sam Smith (but I know we haven't exactly had a lot to choose from).

Posted by: Mart!n 22nd March 2015, 01:32 PM

I can't see what else could be #1 for a few weeks after Jess, apart from Ed, mind you I would prefer Jess to hang on to the #1 spot for a few weeks, rather than having RudieEd

Posted by: Chez Wombat 22nd March 2015, 01:33 PM

Hold My Hand took a while to click, but it's really feel good and far superior to the rather lacklustre Right Here, feels quite similar to her Clean Bandit collaborations, but not enough to detract from it and it's not like both artists' sounds are worlds apart.

I agree that Sam Smith is a blemish on the otherwise flawless run of number 1s this year, I'm surprised, I'm not normally this pleased by the number 1s (I actually like Bloodstream as well, so that would pretty much keep the streak going should that get there)

Posted by: liamk97 22nd March 2015, 01:35 PM

If Jess is expected to have big sales this week then I can't see her losing the #1 spot to Ed and Rudimental. I can see them perhaps making the Top 5.

Posted by: SLlewellyn 22nd March 2015, 01:55 PM

Bar "Bloodstream" next week (and even then I'm not convinced), I don't think we'll get a new number-one until Carly Rae Jepsen on April 27th if it can become even more popular in the coming weeks. 5 weeks for "Hold My Hand" then potentially, unless something else climbs ("FourFiveSeconds" or "Hold Back the River"). Quite liking these long-running #1s actually, go 2015!

Posted by: ► ▲ N 22nd March 2015, 01:59 PM

I think he could make the top 40...


On sales

Posted by: Cody Slayberry 22nd March 2015, 02:01 PM

I honestly wouldn't mind "Bloodstream" getting #1 probably because of Rudimental.

Posted by: JosephStyles 22nd March 2015, 02:01 PM

Oh I think that's a certainty My logic is that he's done better than G.R.L. did with Lighthouse on pre-orders (let's not forget it went top 100 when first added) so should at least make the top 50 overall, top 40 hopefully!!

Posted by: Mart!n 22nd March 2015, 02:16 PM

5 weeks for Jess is a bit of a tall order I think, if her sales drop off along the way, something is bound to climb or a big new release mid week, unless the Voice winner goes and releases a single, but I doubt that will happen, previous winners from the Voice have not released a single straight off.

Posted by: Cody Slayberry 22nd March 2015, 02:18 PM

Posted by: JosephStyles 22nd March 2015, 02:29 PM

Can we not rub it in please

Posted by: MC Delroy 22nd March 2015, 02:30 PM

Songs used to have to climb from the very bottom of the chart when there were no pre-orders whatsoever in the iTunes singles chart so it's a bit different nowadays.

Posted by: Apricot 22nd March 2015, 02:34 PM

The new rules make the chart so much more interesting to follow on release day now, rather than Jess Glynne making #1 at 12:20am and that being the end of things. Much like the old days with the Single EP Pre-orders.

Posted by: Cody Slayberry 22nd March 2015, 02:37 PM

The new rule actually makes me feel sorry for the people who actually do use pre-orders... It's like those customers don't even affect the actual chart...

Posted by: mr_aly 22nd March 2015, 02:50 PM

Really? Considering nobody from that show has ever had a hit single I highly doubt it even if they tried that strategy.



Except they do, they get counted into the actual chart itself...

Posted by: Jade 22nd March 2015, 02:55 PM

The prospect of Jess potentially being no.1 for 5 weeks. This track is very average, but hey it's certainly better than 'Lay Me Down' getting another week at the top so I'll take it.

Posted by: MC Delroy 22nd March 2015, 02:56 PM

Probably the majority of people who download songs on iTunes wouldn't care about the charts anyway, they just want the song that they like as soon as possible without getting it in a illegal way.

Posted by: ¡bré! 22nd March 2015, 04:03 PM

'Hold My Hand' will be the best #1 of the year! Really hope 'Bloodstream' can get there though as that'd be the first #1 of the year I PROPERLY love (bar 'Uptown Funk' when it first came out but that got rather old).

Posted by: Jonjo 22nd March 2015, 04:05 PM

'Hold My Hand' is glorious! It's easily the best thing she's done for me (well, excluding 'Rather Be'). 'Right Here' was so boring in comparison and felt rather limp for me. 'Real Love' was good, but got boring pretty fast.

Posted by: Šþinniŋğ Åđɑ 22nd March 2015, 04:13 PM

Yeah I can't see him benefiting much, if at all on streams.

It's good but I've not grown that much on Jess' new track but at least it's going to put a stop to Sam Smith
To see Bloodstream get to #1 isn't that much of a good thing, although it's much better than TOL thank god, but I hope it's not going to spend more than a week there so I hope there's a big release after that week

Posted by: PaulM1983 22nd March 2015, 04:45 PM

Well not really. If they do actually follow the iTunes chart, they'll have already seen the effect of their pre-orders when the song is showing up for weeks before release.

I like that the pre-orders aren't added again on release. It makes much more sense and it's more interesting to watch songs actually climbing the chart. However, I'm a bit unclear as to what stage the pre-order sales do actually get added? Do the first midweeks show them or will they be a complete unknown until the final sales figures are released at the end of the week? Does that mean that if a new release is number 2 on the Friday chart update, it's possible it'll overtake when pre-order sales get added at the cut off point on Saturday night? That makes it quite exciting, particularly for those songs that have built up really strong pre-order sales but only make it to number 2 overall during the week. Means they could overturn quite a big gap when they're added in. Does that even make sense? I feel like I'm babbling now.

Posted by: Šþinniŋğ Åđɑ 22nd March 2015, 06:38 PM

It's looking a lot like Omi and Carly are going to be #1!
Also I predict Rumours will be something around 11-20 or so, but I don't know who is playlisting it

Posted by: Dobbo 22nd March 2015, 06:42 PM

I hear Rumors all the time on Kiss. Very surprised something so underground-sounding is lining up to be a sizable hit!

Posted by: Jonjo 22nd March 2015, 07:03 PM

Nick is looking likely to be one of those decent running #4 hits!

Posted by: Eric_Blob 22nd March 2015, 07:04 PM

I think Ed Sheeran will definitely get #1 next week. Other songs in a similar situation from the past few years that got #1 (Spectrum, Gettin' Over You) weren't even top 40 the week before release but got #1 after the remixes. In this case the original has been top 40 for weeks, so that suggests to me it'll get #1. Unless the OCC are stupid and chart the song separately like they did with Sam Smith (but I think that might have had something to do with it being a charity single tbh).

Posted by: James1987 22nd March 2015, 07:11 PM

Hopefully if Radio 1 give it some good airplay then a top 20 would be achievable even though it deserves to be a top 10 but no doubt it will end up following the peaks of Hannah Wants/Tough Love/Alex Adair and peak anywhere between 15 and 11

Posted by: ML Hammer95 22nd March 2015, 07:20 PM

That's a great song Not very chart-friendly though, especially in comparison to Higher. Sigma have said they'll release another single in the summer to accompany their album and I hope its more interesting than Higher.

I would have preferred Right Here to be #1 if I'm honest. I like Jess Glynne but I'm not keen on this song.

Great that Omi is still high on pre-orders

Posted by: jazzy_765 22nd March 2015, 07:43 PM

Is there no sign of Zedd feat. Selena Gomez - I Want You To Know in the top 1000 on preorders??!

Really expect this to be quite big!

Posted by: steps 22nd March 2015, 08:13 PM

Pre-orders will download and get billed on the first day that a track is released. So, unless its a midweek release, for singles they practically are all sold on sunday. Therefore this sales will, like pre-orders have always been, show up on the first chart update.

Posted by: ElectroBoy 22nd March 2015, 08:18 PM

Good to see Hole in my Heart is rising again on pre orders

Posted by: ElectroBoy 22nd March 2015, 08:19 PM

07. Sigma ft Labrinth // Higher

Posted by: Chapman 22nd March 2015, 08:31 PM

Hoping Sigma are a safe Top 5. Especially once pre orders are factored in. Jess a safe number one and my favourite for a long time, well deserved!

Posted by: omrimayo 22nd March 2015, 09:04 PM

I still love this..I'm hoping for top 5 but I guess top 10 at best.

Posted by: steve201 22nd March 2015, 09:55 PM

Jess has a hefty lead but most held back songs usually fall as the week goes on so I doubt it'll be no1 for 5 weeks as some are predicting. I'm sure download sales will fall week on week but if it does well on streams she could get 3 weeks at the top. Heading for 120k this week I'd say or maybe 140 if the preorders are massive.

Posted by: jase. 22nd March 2015, 11:10 PM

Nope, the only things Zedd and Selena related are

193. Break Free (feat. Zedd) - Ariana Grande

*prays for Cheryl Cole to start falling and miss a re-peak*

Posted by: MrIndependent 23rd March 2015, 12:25 AM

Hold Back The River is #2 combined; I expect it to build up a lead ahead of Lay Me Down and King starting from tomorrow with Chaos and the Calm's release which may give the song additional promo.

As a few of you have probably gathered from previous posts, I love Ed but I can't see Bloodstream hitting #1 next week; I don't think a lot of people know about it to be honest however that could change with the music video coming today. It has only had two weeks of airplay. I think top five is likely, though.

70. Cheryl - Only Human [I'm guessing this could miss the top 100 this week, poor streaming and I'm sure it will start dropping fast tomorrow]

Krept & Konan's new album 'The Long Way Home' 3rd on iTunes just on pre-orders!?

Collaborations with Rick Ross, Wiz Khalifa, YG, Jeremih, Skepta, Ed Sheeran & Emeli Sande. Not even out til July, this could be the biggest rap album of the year.

Posted by: omrimayo 23rd March 2015, 10:18 AM

This. This is so good also.

Posted by: Nick F1 23rd March 2015, 10:32 AM

wasn't Iggy like no.22 on itunes few days ago?

Posted by: ¡bré! 23rd March 2015, 10:54 AM

Well it's pretty unlikely Krept & Konan will get a #1 album or any longevity at all so I think Kendrick at least already has them beaten there There are lots of other major hip hop releases scheduled for this year as well. That is an impressive start for their pre-order but all it means is they have a loyal fanbase unless it actually holds up fairly well over the next few months which I can't see happening.

Posted by: mack25 23rd March 2015, 11:34 AM

KANYE says HI

Posted by: Davidson 23rd March 2015, 11:45 AM

Yeah she was. Doesn't look like the weekend effect & the new releases were kind to her. Either that or the initial video hype has died down a bit.

Think it was made Radio 1's song of the day a few days ago so I am guessing it's on the verge of being playlisted so I would think we will see it rise again.

It would be wrong to underestimate Krept & Konan though. Their last mixtape Young Kingz charted top 20 with no promotion, no singles and support only from urban radio. Don't Waste My Time became a massive underground anthem and got them signed to Virgin. Swear they won MTV Brand New this year too? The new album will be heavily promoted.

However, its unlikely to topple Kendrick, Kanye and the new Drake album. Maybe a more accurate statement would be biggest UK rap album since iLL Manors.

Posted by: JosephStyles 23rd March 2015, 11:52 AM

Yeah it's just the TOTD boost wearing off! It's sunk back to where it was beforehand. Really hoping it's playlisted this week, this neeeeds to be a hit!

Posted by: mr_aly 23rd March 2015, 12:14 PM

Why not? It has a month to go, it's in an amazing position right now.

Posted by: Joe. 23rd March 2015, 12:22 PM

I think it's an amazing position this early, too! It's only getting plays on Capital so far. I reckon Radio 1 will play this too.

UPDATE (probably the last one, unless the highest one manages to go top 40!)

46. 'As Real As You & Me'
68. 'Dancing In the Dark'
81. 'Towards The Sun'

Oops at TTS. Not taking off nearly as much as I thought it would be (although it's not too concerning as it's "only" a soundtrack song, that doesn't seem to be given a video - unlike Jennifer's song which is at #94!)

Oh and really hoping Jason can make an impact now the video for WTWM has premiered!

Posted by: JosephStyles 23rd March 2015, 06:46 PM

Good grief, this has climbed lots recently Imagine where it would be if it were actually being supported?

Posted by: ElectroBoy 23rd March 2015, 07:14 PM

I've been thinking this too - it's up to 622 now.

When it was played on Radio 1 on Scott Mills it went high on pre-orders again. I'm hoping it can still be a hit though and get a top 10 place

Posted by: omrimayo 23rd March 2015, 07:58 PM

87. Bloodstream Remix... already up 20 spots this evening after the video.. the other version is top 20..
It was top 40 a few times already and even higher.. great pre orders.. I need it to be combined for next week but I don't know after Sam and John :|

Posted by: steve201 23rd March 2015, 08:06 PM

Have we already had the discussion about whether it's a seperate entry for Bloodstream next week?

Posted by: Doctor Blind 23rd March 2015, 08:12 PM

I don't know - it shouldn't be a separate entry. Just like "Spectrum" it is just a remix and both versions will be combined.

Posted by: Cody Slayberry 23rd March 2015, 08:12 PM

"Lay Me Down" part 2 tbh

Same position, same meltdowns across Buzzjack?

Posted by: ElectroBoy 23rd March 2015, 08:24 PM

Surely with Bloodstream already making the top 40 under the Rudimental/ Ed Sheeran billing on the top 40 it will be classed as the same song as the only song it's generating sales from is the standard Ed Sheeran solo version

Posted by: iain 23rd March 2015, 08:46 PM

Has the new Brandon Flowers song been released to UK iTunes? It's on the new release schedule for release today.

I believe it's out tomorrow.

Posted by: steve201 23rd March 2015, 08:53 PM

I heard it played on Annie Mac earlier but it wasn't hottest record or anything which is bad news for possible daytime support - it was played alongside Blurs current single which has no chance of daytime plays either unfortunately

Posted by: fchd 23rd March 2015, 09:06 PM

I think the two will be merged, but with only Ed credited on the chart.

Posted by: steve201 23rd March 2015, 09:09 PM

It's strange considering the CR single wasn't but we've discussed that plenty on here now.

Posted by: ElectroBoy 23rd March 2015, 09:20 PM

but Bloodstream is already charting under both Ed and Rudimental's names - it at 26 with both being credited

Climbed about 300 places today... in fact about 600 since the weekend!

Posted by: R0B S 23rd March 2015, 09:25 PM

Woah what's caused such a huge rise

Posted by: fchd 23rd March 2015, 09:27 PM

On itunes yes, but not on the OCC.

Posted by: ElectroBoy 23rd March 2015, 09:34 PM

Ah ok - I was looking on the BBC top 40 site, not on the OCC one

It's got them both listed on there - I shall stand down from my comments

Posted by: JosephStyles 23rd March 2015, 09:35 PM

Luke's climb seems really quite random but it's absolutely welcomed! Hopefully looking good for top 40 at least, that's all I want from it.

Posted by: Doctor Blind 23rd March 2015, 09:37 PM

An additional 15 people downloaded it.

Seriously the sales gap between 400 and 600 on a rolling chart isn't really that much (particularly with download sales ~11% down on 2014, which in itself was around ~12% down on 2013).

Posted by: gavindeejay 23rd March 2015, 09:37 PM

Posted by: ElectroBoy 23rd March 2015, 09:38 PM

Posted by: JosephStyles 23rd March 2015, 09:38 PM

Still impressive for it to have climbed so much after being barely top 1500 less than a week ago, with no more support than it had last week! (ie. none)

Posted by: Cody Slayberry 23rd March 2015, 09:46 PM

I'm free to quote you on this.

Posted by: SevenSeize 23rd March 2015, 09:53 PM

It's probably just Luke getting more of his twitter followers to pre-order it or something~ While that won't make too much difference there's still a good chance he'll be in the top 40 next week imo

Posted by: Doctor Blind 23rd March 2015, 09:55 PM

Yes, of the sales chart!

Posted by: JosephStyles 23rd March 2015, 09:56 PM

He's been doing that for weeks though! I know he supported the Janoskians the other night, and the song has been played before the X Factor live tour show starts, but neither of them explain the huge boost today, it was in the 900s earlier!

(@ Seven)

Posted by: JosephStyles 23rd March 2015, 09:57 PM

Well look at it this way, his pre-order has done considerably better than G.R.L.'s, so I'd say it has a reasonably good chance of outpeaking Lighthouse. That doesn't guarantee top 40 but I think it will make it in (low down).

Li'l Chris has passed away, at the age of 24 he probably didn't have a huge fanbase but I wonder if any of his songs will climb high enough to chart?

EDIT: on second thoughts, 'Checkin' It Out' is the only song of his anyone's likely to remember but I can't even see that charting. Shame though cos his album was a bit of a guilty pleasure of mine back in the day.

Posted by: ElectroBoy 24th March 2015, 02:33 PM

Thats's shocking to hear he's passed away. He did a cover of 'We Don't Have to Take Our Clothes Off' too IIRC.

Posted by: steve201 24th March 2015, 03:05 PM

I think last night was its debut and Muse were chosen as hottest record on Annie Mac which doesn't mean it won't get daytime support but it's not a good start .

Bars And Melody already releasing another single? At least it should definitely miss the top 40.

Also, lol at The Janoskians still trying to happen.

Cheerleader top 100 on pre-orders is amazing to see though I always thought it was going to smash, just glad to be proved right now, I imagine Capital are playing it lots now. Released in a month from now so it should definitely debut highly.

Is it just me or has she disappeared

Posted by: ► ▲ N 26th March 2015, 09:30 PM

the song isn't on my iTunes feed either

Posted by: Eric_Blob 26th March 2015, 09:46 PM

I've thought it for ages too. Same with Firestone (well, not 100% sure that is going to #1 especially as it's not been held-back but it was obvious it was going to be a big hit).

I wonder why Rihanna's new song has disappeared. Might just be iTunes being glitchy.

Posted by: ML Hammer95 26th March 2015, 10:55 PM

Liking the Rihanna song, particularly the beat. Obviously its not as accessible as FourFiveSeconds, but that's not necessarily a bad thing - I think it shows versitility to be honest.

Posted by: Joe. 26th March 2015, 10:58 PM

The new Rihanna song is kind of like 7/11 in its brash-ness. It's going to divide opinions.

Posted by: Doctor Blind 26th March 2015, 10:58 PM

FourFiveSeconds is accessible?!?

Maybe if you've recently had a lobotomy.

Posted by: steve201 26th March 2015, 11:06 PM

It's stupidity, I always thought this about preorders but in this era of streaming becoming stronger and downloads falling it doesn't make sense to hold a single back for weeks on end - it is detrimental to sales. You just have to look at the performance of say LMLYD and King. King would have sold a lot more with a release even 2/3 weeks earlier than 1/3.

Posted by: mr_aly 26th March 2015, 11:12 PM

And how do you quantify that? Both songs have been absolutely massive hits and are doing extremely well. They will also sell huge numbers overall in the longrun too.

Posted by: Doctor Blind 26th March 2015, 11:19 PM

I think the thing I hate more about the record industry these days (I've long bored everyone to death with the merits of OA/OS for a healthy record industry) is the accelerated release cycles and tendency for albums to be preceded by a new single or 'album cut/buzz single' every couple of weeks. It totally devalues the medium, kills off any momentum a single is likely to build-up, and blitzes the casual record buying public with an overload of new music. It also renders the campaign inert by the time the album is released with nowhere for it to go.

This is encapsulated well by the current Kanye West and Rihanna album campaigns, but possibly even better by Marina & The Diamonds which has successfully launched an album which sold 9,955 copies.

Posted by: ML Hammer95 26th March 2015, 11:26 PM

How is it not? It's current chart longevity would suggest its got a pretty wide appeal.

Posted by: Rabbit Froot 27th March 2015, 12:06 AM

But it's also allowed her to gain her first Top 10 album in the US, selling over 40,000 with very little radio support/lack of big name.

Posted by: ¡bré! 27th March 2015, 12:15 AM

I don't see how the current Kanye West or Rihanna campaigns are at all an example of what you're talking about? They've had a total of 2 songs released each (3 for Kanye if 'FourFiveSeconds' is on his album as well but I don't think it will be). And the songs that have been released are all proper singles.

It really does fuck me off how Rihanna just releases any old shit and people lap it up. This is ATROCIOUS.

She could just fart into a microphone and people would buy it just because it has her name on it.

Posted by: scratchy23 27th March 2015, 01:20 PM

Or maybe people have different opinions to you on what's good and what's not?

Posted by: Jonjo 27th March 2015, 01:27 PM

TBF, they have to buy it (it ain't streaming yet, is it?) before they judge whether they like it or not. You've got to remember anything she releases now (which isn't soundtracks ) are ANTICIPATED and the first brand new RiRi songs, since 2012! She's the biggest star on the planet right now. FFS is a huge song (success wise) so the demand for RiRi is higher than ever right now.

Just imagine if this was a US based forum and we were talking about the US iTunes charts the way we do the UK ones? The amount of Taylor/Ariana/Selena etc... songs that go to number 1 on iTunes there. This site would melt down haha.

Posted by: JVSH 27th March 2015, 01:28 PM

Considering her debut charted at 138, and her second album only reached 31 despite a ~minor~ hit, FROOT debuting at number 8 with more sales than those two combined is an incredible achievement with no songs sent to radio or any promotion at all and the campaign must've helped somewhat as her 'close fan base' must have grown from somewhere between this era and the last.

Not to be NuVidcapper, but Towards The Sun is sooo much better than BBHMM. Largely because it has a melody.

'u' is fantastic, especially the way it is led into from 'These Walls'! My favourite is probably the very obvious choice of 'King Kunta' so this single announcement has me positively squealing with joy.

I was hoping it might have done a 'Where Have You Been' for her.

Posted by: ► ▲ N 28th March 2015, 02:08 PM

It's about time we got another Psy single especially as 'Hangover' wasn't exactly the best song ever.

'Father' isn't too brilliant on first listen either, Psy actually making a serious song is surprising.

Posted by: Liаm 28th March 2015, 02:13 PM

Top 20 in US and Australia is good for a song this late into a campaign, but I need it to go top 40 here It's definitely among my absolute favourite songs of the last few years. I kinda wish it was just a stunning album track rather than being a single and not being a hit.

Posted by: Šþinniŋğ Åđɑ 28th March 2015, 02:46 PM

Yeah Hangover was terrible. I'm surprised you didn't like it either seeing you like Anaconda and Stupid Hoe

I agree that it is surprising, and I very much doubt it will be half as viral as his other hits, because of this reason (I caught the view count at around only 60,000 this morning (

Will "Bloodstream" count as a separate entry for Ed Sheeran & Rudimental (a la "Lay Me Down"), or do we reckon they'll combine its sales/streams with the original?

Posted by: ¡bré! 28th March 2015, 05:29 PM

It will almost certainly be combined.

Posted by: MrIndependent 28th March 2015, 06:40 PM

I think Jess will deny Ed the #1; Hold My Hand still has a large lead on iTunes and she's performing on The Voice tonight too.

Posted by: SLlewellyn 28th March 2015, 06:49 PM

Performing on The Voice didn't seem to do much for Olly Murs or Jermain Jackman though, so we'll see.

On a related note... Sia has just announced on Facebook that she'll be performing tonight too. Assuming we'll get "Elastic Heart" (though it's peak of popularity) has been and gone in the UK, but part of me is holding out for another track.

Posted by: Dobbo 28th March 2015, 06:50 PM

Jess' sales are pretty underwhelming so far considering how well she did on pre-order so I really can't see her being able to fend off the combined force of Ed & Rudimental next week.

Will be a good top 2 either way though.

Posted by: omrimayo 28th March 2015, 07:16 PM

I"m Preferring Ed next week... Jess only selling 10K per day.. he could and should win next week.. but.. Let's see.

Toca's Miracle was just performed on THe Voice, odd choice

Posted by: Brett-Butler 28th March 2015, 07:37 PM

It's an inspired choice, it's one of the few dance songs that people who don't normally like dance music like (see also: "Silence" by Delirium).

Posted by: gavindeejay 28th March 2015, 07:44 PM

I would love to see this back in the charts....even if it is the Top 100. Such a great track!

Posted by: mr_aly 28th March 2015, 08:08 PM

Toca's Miracle

I can't believe that came out half my life ago. God, I'm old.

Posted by: Eric_Blob 28th March 2015, 08:37 PM

Hooray!

I think Ed Sheeran is definitely going #1 next week. I hope so if it gets Rudimental another #1.

Posted by: *Ben* 28th March 2015, 08:39 PM

I think Bloodstream is quite a good track, both the original and the remix so I wouldn't mind this Ed Sheeran song going number 1 to be honest

Posted by: JosephStyles 28th March 2015, 08:39 PM

Yeah as has been said, it may have a big lead but that means very little when sales are relatively low. I think Ed will get the #1.

Posted by: Simon. 28th March 2015, 08:42 PM

Jessie Ware Say You Love Me anywhere after the voice?

Posted by: ▲Rob▲ 28th March 2015, 08:54 PM

Bitch Better Have My Money #4

Posted by: Dobbo 28th March 2015, 08:55 PM

I must be in the minority who's liking this new Rihanna track! Love her really "out there" tracks, Pour It Up is an all time fave of mine from her. Hopefully will be continuing to save the top 10 in the coming weeks!

Posted by: ¡bré! 28th March 2015, 08:58 PM

Really hoping Ed can get #1, a great song and it's slightly that Sam Smith currently has more #1s than him as lead artist.

Posted by: Envoirment 28th March 2015, 09:01 PM

to #52,#593 & #1453.

Posted by: SLlewellyn 28th March 2015, 09:20 PM

45. Jessie Ware "Say You Love Me"

Yes at this getting a big boost from The Voice, stunning performance!

32. Sia "Elastic Heart" [artist performed]
51. Labrinth "Jealous"

Can't judge the boost for Jess Glynne at present.

Posted by: Robert S 28th March 2015, 09:30 PM

UGH WHY

I can see Taylor Jago celebrating somewhere...
Anyway, I'm thinking that it could be worse

Good start for Luke, up about 200 places since the release already and most won't be aware it's already out!
