QUOTE(gooddelta @ Dec 24 2015, 10:24 PM)  My final estimation is 108k for the NHS choir and 100k for Bieber, but the choir could be anywhere between 105-120k and Bieber could be anywhere between 95-102k I reckon. Shame Bieber didn't catch up more quickly today, and fingers crossed next year won't see more choirs and campaigns, but then again Simon Cowell will no doubt be back on form with a much better song for the X Factor winner next year so they could contend again. how could he catch up after that tweet yesterday? |

QUOTE(chartdj @ Dec 24 2015, 10:28 PM) how could he catch up after that tweet yesterday? I wondered if the choir might have slowed down a bit today, although it was unlikely as it's 'final push day' today. But it does indeed seem that Dan is quite right and they've probably sold up to 60k in the last two days, taking them to up to 120k, whereas Bieber was only on 102k last week so if he did increase somehow it wouldn't be by much. I do think they would have still got it without that tweet, seeing as the gap could well be as much as 18k, and I can't imagine the tweet added much more than 5-10k of those sales, max. Of course history will now attribute the result to Bieber's tweet, even though he probably wouldn't have got it anyway. Pretty much the best PR move I've seen this year.

In reality, I don't think the guy himself even knows or cares about his UK chart positions. He was told to tweet that by Scooter Braun, his manager (there's even a tweet on Scooter's account telling Justin to "do the right thing"), so he acted on instruction.

Love that the NHS Choir have tweeted 'who wants to help the 1.6m NHS staff to Xmas No.1'
Surely the easiest way to secure the #1 would have been to send an internal email to these 1.6m staff to get them to download it, I mean surely you'd pay 99p to get yourself a number one single! And voila, Bieber is beaten by a 16:1 ratio! |

Interesting! Seems a shame then that less than 1 in 16 NHS staff are willing to buy it though, I know I'd download a single if the company I work for was looking in a strong position to get a UK No.1 single, would be nice to share in quite a proud moment!
