QUOTE(vidcapper @ Jan 8 2017, 04:34 PM)  What have The Saturdays got to do with it?  Are you a Saturdays fan too, Vicapper?  And probably nothing, unless they're talkin about no. 28 hits tbh! |

'Castle On The Hill' coming to be the highest selling #2 since...? Poor Ed having a certain #1 denied by that Ed.

QUOTE(Davidson @ Jan 8 2017, 01:49 PM) I mean I thought Ed would have a big comeback of maybe around 150-180k but it's looking like both tracks could come close to 'Hello' like sales which is crazy. I knew he was huge but I didn't think he was quite Adele huge. He's not as huge as Adele. His album won't sell 800k first week. Maybe 400k? |

James Arthur's Impossible did 223,770 in the week of Xmas No. 1 (eventually clinched by The Justice Collective). It might beat that, so in that case it'll be the highest since Joe McElderry managed 450,838 for No. 2 being beaten by Rage Against the Machine.

Of course it won't, if it's being released in the spring rather than in the run-up to Christmas. |

I doubt it would have made much difference sales wise i think most people are buying both songs. The only negative for Ed is he has probably knocked himself out of having another number 1 unless one knocks the other off. Great to see him having such huge sales, lets hope the album gets huge opening sales aswell.

It's interesting to see that Ed's songs don't hurt each other. Drake and The Weeknd have released two tracks on a same day but one of the songs have always been a lot more popular than the other.

Anyone know if the David Bowie EP 'No Plan' will count towards the singles or album chart (Or neither?), it has 4 tracks and is currently #2 on the iTunes album chart.

I think 4-track EPs count toward the singles chart! Although Bowie's probably not selling enough for it to have a chance of charting officially.

Thanks, I thought it might be counted towards the singles chart - might have had a chance to chart if it was being counted towards albums. |

If the lead track is 'Lazarus', under chart rules sales of the EP could count towards the sales of that track rather than being counted as a separate release. It depends how the OCC treat the release and / or how the record label have requested how the EP is treated.

It does look like more people are favouring shape of you and the gaps on iTunes and Spotify are increasing between the
Hence it is likely to take off most maybe last longer in long run This post has been edited by 777666jason: 8th January 2017, 09:30 PM |

I just hope Shape Of You prevents Castle On The Hill ever going to #1, after a couple more listens it's really turning into a fave of mine.

If he releases his album near Xmas, I can see him getting something like 600k first week sales

'Shape Of You' is clearly the bigger hit / more commercially friendly song (Capital FM are gonna start hammering it if they haven't already, I don't see them taking to 'Castle On The Hill' near as much) and I think the gap between them will grow rapidly quite soon. I hope 'Castle On The Hill' can still have a decent chart run itself though, I much prefer it (although I like both of them).

Both Shape of You and Castle On The Hill are on S on Capital and are both already being played every hour. In the rolling UK airplay Catsle on The Hill is actually higher at #29 so far with Shape Of You at #39. |

Yeh I prefer Castle on the Hill so I do - quite heavy for Ed too dare I say. The other one sounds ready made for the pop chart/commercial/capital playlist market!

I can see radio taking to COTH much more than SOY, but SOY will definitely resonate with the general public a lot more. I do think COTH is the better song. I like both of them, but that one has so much more repeatability for me. So I hope it can last just as long in the charts as SOY.

Fair enough, but I doubt that'll continue in the long run, especially with 'Shape Of You' already pulling ahead on iTunes/Spotify. I'd be happy to be wrong though. 'Castle On The Hill' must sound extremely out of place on Capital surely...
