Music Guests on TV shows this week
Friday: Graham Norton: Kelly Clarkson
Saturday: Jonathan Ross: TBA

Posted by: SevenSeize 15th February 2015, 12:08 AM

Fairly uneventful week ahead, we may at least get a new Top 10 entry with LuvBug (since the track's been seemingly hammered by Capital FM for over a month now)

Posted by: Mart!n 15th February 2015, 12:11 AM

Bit of a dull week, nothing is really stopping Ellie next week, probably just 1 new entry from Luvbug, Bars & Melody will probably enter high and drop quickly towards the end of the week.

And for Jonjo: Kelly Clarkson is performing on Graham Norton show.

Posted by: JosephStyles 15th February 2015, 12:11 AM

Bars and Melody for top 20 at least please!

EDIT: BAM not out til Monday ughhhhhh

Posted by: jase. 15th February 2015, 12:52 AM

Uptown Funk getting that weekend effect

Posted by: MrIndependent 15th February 2015, 12:53 AM

The highest new releases which will more than likely come from LuvBug and Bars & Melody will be fanbase-driven so it is definitely a boring week.

Is the Kelly Clarkson song out next Sunday? It's useful that she has a Graham Norton performance prior to its release; I don't think it will do very well.

Posted by: Joe. 15th February 2015, 12:56 AM

Great start from Luvbug, but I'm still not convinced it'll make the top ten officially. It has been on pre-order so long it's probably just very front loaded. It's only been like #300 all week so I don't think it'll be popular enough to stay top ten a week.

Posted by: steve201 15th February 2015, 01:04 AM

Nothing out at all hopefully a NE for Drake, Davud Guetta and a few other risers in the top 40!

Posted by: Joe. 15th February 2015, 01:07 AM

Really hope Charli doesn't fall too much this week.

The opposite for Chris Brown.

Posted by: ML Hammer95 15th February 2015, 09:16 AM

Cashtastic smashing it in the top 500 He was deported last year so good to see him still making music.

Posted by: §þiŋŋiŋğ Å&# 15th February 2015, 10:05 AM

Imdoubtful Revive will make the official top 10 (hoping at least iTunes top 10 though).
Also, no surprise Funk is back to 2
Agreed it's another boring week but we may get a couple of new entries further down the top 100 since not all releases are in the schedule

I would say the Rixton rise is due to the Voice rather than Valentines Day

Are Florence + The Machine instant grat?

Posted by: gavindeejay 15th February 2015, 11:55 AM

Yes, but if the track is bought as opposed to being pre-ordered with the album then it will be eligible to chart.

Yet another slow week for new releases. This has to be the most boring year for music ever.

Graham Norton's a big fan of Kelly Clarkson, I bet he specifically requested her

Posted by: Munkie 15th February 2015, 12:41 PM

You are aware we're only 6wks into 'this' year?

Posted by: Dobbo 15th February 2015, 12:47 PM

Assuming there's 6 new entries (could even be more if Taylor/Florence make it) in today's chart I make that 23 new entries since the turn of the year. Pretty sure that's higher than the past few years even with streaming included...

Posted by: Rob S 15th February 2015, 01:00 PM

Taylor was 69 in the mids though so I doubt she'll have risen 30 places unfortunately. Florence could well sneak in there but I doubt it.

Hopefully ID will hold top 30 even if they are #30.

Yes I am, but it feels like it's been really quiet for new music charting in the Top 40.

Posted by: Doctor Blind 15th February 2015, 03:02 PM

It's actually been a lot more active and exciting start to the year than 2014 in terms of new music, however none of it is reaching the Top 40.

Posted by: ¡brébycakes! 15th February 2015, 03:11 PM

It's pretty boring for the charts so far but this year is looking set to be possibly my favourite year ever for new music. (Bearing in mind I've only been paying attention to music since 2009).

Posted by: Dobbo 15th February 2015, 03:11 PM

Fair enough. I didn't realise quite so many were released early on I initially thought late Feb/March for a lot of the lower half of that list!

Posted by: April 15th February 2015, 03:12 PM

Wait? What happened to Bars and Actual Melody?

Posted by: JosephStyles 15th February 2015, 03:14 PM

Out tomorrow ~

Posted by: ML Hammer95 15th February 2015, 03:19 PM

Maybe its because the charts feel less relevant than ever? The inclusion of streaming has slowed down the chart making them seem more stale than before.

Also more underground acts and genres like grime, hip hop and more probably feel breaking into the chart seem more remote than ever. So they make music they are passionate about rather than a more watered-down version with one eye on charting. I've heard plenty of new music, but most of it will never chart.

Must admit early 2014 felt like a busier time though.

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 15th February 2015, 03:58 PM

It's only boring for music if you only follow the charts. I stopped caring about the charts years ago and for me music gets better each year. There's always more of it and it's so easily accessible wherever you are these days. Whatever type of music you enjoy there's no reason not to find a tonne of new stuff you like if you care for it. So far this year I've downloaded 62 singles. I'd be surprised if more than about two of them have made, or will make, the top 100.

Posted by: Eric_Blob 15th February 2015, 04:16 PM

There were other years which I thought were really boring too in the first few months. I think 2011 was one of them, I remember songs like Yeah 3x, Champion, Price Tag spending absolutely ages in the top 10 just because there was nothing else going on. The last few months of 2011 were a huge let-down too, since 2009 and 2010 were so chaotic during X Factor season, and I expected it to be like that every year, but in 2011 there wasn't much happening. There was a week where Read All About It and Earthquake were released, and One Direction and JLS had hit singles, but I can't remember much else. I think Olly Murs had a song climb to #1, or was that a different year? My point is, this isn't the first time, and it could get better in a few months, although I think with streaming the chart is going to be slow forever now.

The charts aren't that important anyway. Ever since I stopped listening to Capital/Heart regularly I never hear half the songs anymore. Even last year there was a song called Budapest which almost got in the year-end top 10 and I've still never heard it.

Posted by: ManicKangaroo 15th February 2015, 05:42 PM

10. LuvBug - Revive (Say Something)

Posted by: Joe. 15th February 2015, 05:46 PM

Hurrah for Ayo being pushed out of the top ten.

Posted by: Rob S 15th February 2015, 07:17 PM

Kelly back in the top 300 on pre orders, before R1 playlisting & GN too (although I'm not huge on the song compared to her other lead singles)

Posted by: Joe. 15th February 2015, 07:47 PM

Kiss have just picked it up, too. Should be a top ten for sure. She should whack it on Spotify now.

Posted by: Joe. 15th February 2015, 09:44 PM

Gravity already down to 6 and Earned It up to 5!

Posted by: Ryan. 15th February 2015, 10:14 PM

758. Il Volo - Grande amore

A 2015 Eurovision entry in the UK iTunes top 1500!

Posted by: Wall-e 15th February 2015, 10:42 PM

I'm sure Luvbug will end up this week at around #18.

It's already slowed down on iTunes. I'm hoping it manages top 10 just for the fact that their next single will be playlisted by Capital again. Should be 59p tbh.

Posted by: jase. 15th February 2015, 10:43 PM

Posted by: Dobbo 15th February 2015, 10:45 PM

GDFR doing remarkably well for something that doesn't sound particularly commercial by his standards.

Usher surprisingly high as well...

FourFiveSeconds #2

Posted by: SLlewellyn 15th February 2015, 11:06 PM

The frustrating thing about following 'new music' and the charts simultaneously is that you see why the charts are so stale. Bakermat's "Teach Me" and Mike Mago's "Outlines" - as examples - have been around for months now, so it doesn't surprise me one bit that they are dropping fast out of the T40 meaning long-running hits are just on the climb again. I'm actually quite enjoying the inclusion of streaming (at the moment at least), it separates the bonafide 'hits' from those that just collected months worth of pre-orders.

Posted by: ManicKangaroo 16th February 2015, 12:31 AM

24. Bars and Melody - Keep Smiling

Posted by: jase. 16th February 2015, 12:40 AM

8. LuvBug - Revive (Say Something)

Posted by: SLlewellyn 16th February 2015, 08:32 AM

26. Imagine Dragons "I Bet My Life" (& #70)
54. Imagine Dragons "Shots"
72. Imagine Dragons "Gold"

Good to see the latter two appearing (again?). This whole release was handled very strangely, I'm just hoping the band can get a #1 album out of it and a couple of hits.

Posted by: ML Hammer95 16th February 2015, 09:45 AM

Tbf, a lot of these "long-running hits" were held back releases too. Songs like Stay With Me or Bang Bang were premiered almost two months before release - so technically should have been front loaded too.

I think a lot of held-back releases would never get into the top 40 without collecting loads of pre-orders anyway. Take 'Body Language' for example - it was released OA/OS and stayed around the 40-100 mark for ages, but if it was held-back a bit, I'm sure it would have achieved a couple of weeks in the top 40.

Maybe the reason the chart is stale, is because the majority of those who contribute to it (e.g. buy or stream music) don't actively seek out new music?

Posted by: Jonjo 16th February 2015, 12:12 PM

The whole album is brilliant! I'm so impressed with them and IBML has grown on me immensely these last couple of days. Huge album please!

Posted by: Jonjo 16th February 2015, 12:37 PM

129. Ariana Grande - One Last Time

Just a few hours after video premiere. Please smash! Best song not only for her, but in a long time <3

Posted by: Joe. 16th February 2015, 01:40 PM

Early Charli XCX album effect
7 Charli XCX Doing It (feat. Rita Ora) (and, #210, #1008)
102 Charli XCX Boom Clap (and #140, #312)
144 Charli XCX Break the Rules ( and #439)
307 Charli XCX London Queen
317 Iggy Azalea Fancy (feat. Charli XCX)
333 Charli XCX Breaking Up
922 Iggy Azalea Fancy (feat. Charli XCX)
1259 Charli XCX Need Ur Luv

I wonder if a second week top 10 is possible for 'Doing It' ? Top #100 and top #200 re-entries would be nice for 'Boom Clap' and 'Break The Rules'.

Posted by: Wall-e 16th February 2015, 01:48 PM

Why are the album charts so slow at updating themselves? Somehow Imagine Dragon are only #03 and Charli XCX is only 14. Charli has been top #60 for the last couple of days and I thought it would be certain she would go straight into the top 10 on iTunes.

Posted by: Joe. 16th February 2015, 01:56 PM

Maybe the fact Charli deleted the pre-order she'd had up for months and changed it 4 weeks ago has affected the climb?

Posted by: BlazingLovatic 16th February 2015, 02:02 PM

Quite disappointed with Cheryl's (Only Human) iTunes performance thus far. The single almost never seems to be in the top 1500 :/

Posted by: Tom Moroder Kay 16th February 2015, 02:17 PM

Holy crap That must be the earliest one ever. Although technically it's not a Eurovision entry until they shorten it to three minutes

Posted by: fchd 16th February 2015, 04:03 PM

Perhaps you need to disregard the official chart and refer to the MTV chart that someone makes up posts on another thread

Posted by: Joe. 16th February 2015, 04:05 PM

Cheryl can't be expected to do anything until she starts getting airplay, which won't be for a couple of weeks, surely?

Posted by: Mango 16th February 2015, 04:07 PM

Yeah, Cheryl's impact/release date is 23rd March so airplay should kick in early March (although I still can't really see 'Only Human' doing too much chartwise if I'm honest)

Posted by: marcin 16th February 2015, 04:12 PM

It's also the winner of San Remo, the biggest and most prestigious Italian festival of the year.
I'm sure there are many Italians living in the UK so its debut might have more to do with San Remo than with Eurovision.

Posted by: Dillan 16th February 2015, 04:14 PM

Her fan-base should be enough to get it at least top 20, and top 30 with streaming in the official charts.

Posted by: Rush 16th February 2015, 04:15 PM

I think Only Human should do alright (watch me be totally wrong like CSL/IDC). I feel like streaming's growth may actually inadvertently help her, as other songs' sales become lower while she still has a dedicated fanbase more likely to buy her songs.

Posted by: Mango 16th February 2015, 04:19 PM

You mean like how Girls Aloud's fanbase made 'Beautiful 'Cause You Love Me' into a #97 smash?

Posted by: Joe. 16th February 2015, 04:23 PM

I don't think that was actually released in the end. Cheryl has a single EP etc for 'Only Human' which will probably give it a decent peak. I hope it does well, as I hated her last two singles.

Posted by: Dane 16th February 2015, 04:32 PM

Would love for this to do well, but I think she may have ruined the chances for that when she gave it as a free single on iTunes during the release of her album.

Posted by: Mango 16th February 2015, 04:35 PM

Yeah I know, I wasn't really suggesting it will only make #97 but even with the EP I think it will be lucky to go Top 20. Hopefully I'm wrong though, it is actually a decent song (although I'm still undecided about the "drum and bass" radio edit).

Posted by: BlazingLovatic 16th February 2015, 04:41 PM

Only Human seems to be getting heavy airplay on the TV channels, which is why I expected it to be at least 1500 + her Facebook page also seems to post the link every 3 minutes

Posted by: London81 16th February 2015, 06:09 PM

Music TV channels really aren't all that popular anymore and don't impact hugely on the main charts and unless your a fan of Cheryl, I doubt very much you'll be getting her Facebook updates every 3 minutes.

There is a 'new' 59p batch. With only 15 songs (I can only assume that means they'll add more?)

Thinking Out Loud has been transferred there from the Valentine's one though - I was really hoping this would be promptly removed and have a nice fall out of the top ten

I'm so glad 'Thinking Out Loud' is no longer 59p, hopefully it'll fall from the top 10 now. 'Doing It' should have been added to the 59p batch!

Posted by: mazedsalvy 17th February 2015, 11:37 AM

Some decent 59p songs there! As much as I used to dislike Bad Day, it's annoyingly catchy. Great to have These Words, How U Remind Me, Get Your Freak On and as depressing as it is, Angels, and of course, my favourite, Latch.

Come on Disclosure! If you're not releasing any more material from your incredible debut album, Settle, you best make a 2nd album!

Posted by: MrIndependent 17th February 2015, 01:06 PM

I'm sure that Doing It was already 59p for a period of time last week.

Posted by: Markbr 17th February 2015, 01:29 PM

Doing It is 59p since the release tho

Posted by: THEO. 17th February 2015, 01:32 PM

I'm surprised that it's not been mentioned yet but "Style" is up to #26 with "Blank Space at #21 and "Shake it Off" at #27 - hopefully all three will be top 40 for Taylor come Sunday.

Posted by: Joe. 17th February 2015, 01:43 PM

Yes but regardless of already being 59p, songs featured in the advertised 59p batch always get a boost.

Posted by: Jason 17th February 2015, 01:49 PM

LuvBug's Revive (Say Something) should have been added to the 59p batch! I can see it at #16 or #17 on sunday now.

Posted by: ML Hammer95 17th February 2015, 04:13 PM

at Get Ur Freak On, Low, Black & Yellow, Can You Hear Me (Ayayaya) & Latch being reduced to 59p.

Really surprised Latch isn't on there to be fair, it was on the outskirts of the Top 100 in the UK for almost two years after it left I remember. It never really went away. I'm pretty sure that Latch was at #101 for 2 weeks straight after being in the Top 100 for almost a year.

Posted by: Jade 17th February 2015, 04:23 PM

What an insane 59p batch this week, if only the likes of Missy and Shakira could re-enter this week, would be quite the lovely shake-up to the chart. A gurl can dream.

Glad that 'Style' seems to be capturing the publics imagination too and is looking to scrape this week's chart, I prefer it SO much to its predecessors this era.

Posted by: omrimayo 17th February 2015, 05:04 PM

68. KING

Sure fire number 1! Their Pre Orders are SO GOOD and stable, just going up.

Posted by: Noahspike 17th February 2015, 05:14 PM

I was going to say I couldn't be happier 'King' looks like it'll be huge as I adore it and haven't stopped playing it since it surfaced...but a part of me is disappointed it's not 'Take Shelter' getting this attention as that's still their best work by quite a margin . Regardless, everything I've heard from them is of a remarkably high quality so I'm glad they're having their well-deserved breakthrough.

Posted by: HausofKubrick 17th February 2015, 05:23 PM

I haven't been too invested in Years & Years (the odd listen here and there when seeing you praise them so highly Noah is all I've done ) but 'King' is properly connecting with me now. Those "ohoahaoahoahaoahss" especially the opening ones are sensational. The rest of the song slots in between those nicely too. Will actually support them (or rather that) being big now

Posted by: Dane 17th February 2015, 06:36 PM

Completely agree, Take Shelter is my favourite of theirs along with Desire. Very happy that King is looking like it will be number one. Oliver Alexanders voice is heavenly

Posted by: Rabbit Froot 17th February 2015, 06:45 PM

Years & Years seemed very likely to follow the Bastille path but I'm hoping that this time a Number 1 is achieved!

Posted by: ElectroBoy 17th February 2015, 06:55 PM

I can see King stalling at 2 behind Ellie. They may get number 1 on sales, but I think with streaming added she may well take it

Posted by: Doctor Blind 17th February 2015, 07:01 PM

"Real" says hi.

Posted by: mr_aly 17th February 2015, 08:16 PM

'King' will be the best #1 in quite a while if it can get there (which I'm getting more confident it can now )

Posted by: steve201 17th February 2015, 09:12 PM

Lol 5 pages on a Tuesday night - not much happening this week!

Posted by: omrimayo 17th February 2015, 09:23 PM

64 Years & Years - King

Posted by: Dobbo 17th February 2015, 09:24 PM

Really can't see King missing #1 now then, doubt Ellie's sales will still be so high in 2 weeks when the interest in both the song & the film has started to wane.

Posted by: Chez Wombat 17th February 2015, 09:31 PM

King being number 1 would continue the flawless run of number 1s for 2015 so far (and I'm quite sure it could now!)

Posted by: omrimayo 17th February 2015, 09:48 PM

61 Years & Years - Desire

2 more weeks..

Posted by: Doctor Blind 17th February 2015, 09:53 PM

"Desire" has already been and gone love. The new single is called "King" and its at NUMBER 64 in a pre-order position from people who like to SECURE their download of a track which could sell out (from an unlimited supply).

Posted by: Mango 17th February 2015, 10:25 PM

I don't think that's quite the reason people pre-order a track...

Anyway I'm pleased that 'King' is now looking almost certain for #1

That's not too bad for Kelly Clarkson! Maybe in with a shout of top 20 after all?

Posted by: Joe. 17th February 2015, 10:50 PM

Radio 1 are playing it loads. I think #12 - #14 with some longevity.

Posted by: Rob S 17th February 2015, 10:54 PM

Top 15 sounds about right for 'Heartbeat Song' but I'd love Kelly to keep her top 10 lead singles streak in tact

Posted by: SevenSeize 17th February 2015, 11:04 PM

I think Kelly will very likely make the Top 10 (well, it *should*, given the heavy airplay it's apparently getting)

Posted by: Joe. 17th February 2015, 11:06 PM

All the AirPlay is quite last minute though. Capital have been playing it a while but R1 and Kiss only JUST jumped on.

Posted by: AcerBen 17th February 2015, 11:24 PM

Capital is the one that makes the hits. She's also had airplay on a lot of the other commercial stations too. She's had more than enough to get her a top 10 if the song deserves it.

Posted by: Rob S 17th February 2015, 11:27 PM

OPM and Uncle Kracker top 100 from 59p. YASSS would be nice if they can climb a bit higher!

Posted by: Envoirment 17th February 2015, 11:30 PM

She has a performance on loose women & Graham Norton too, so those will hopefully help out a lot too.

Posted by: Iz~ 18th February 2015, 12:47 AM

Excellent to see Fireflies in the 59p list, and doing quite well as well! I don't remember it being on there before, so nice to see it back in the top 100 again.

Posted by: Liаm 18th February 2015, 02:46 AM

I think Heartbeat Song might scrape top 10 but I think its longevity will surprise.

Posted by: Jonjo 18th February 2015, 03:02 AM

Awesome news! Both forgotten gems

Brilliant to see Kelly C doing decently too! I'm confident she'll get a top 10 with it, especially as it's pre-orders seem to have done better than Charli's pre-orders did. But whether it'll have longevity, I really can't call it. I'd like to think yes it will, but I'm also very doubtful it'll actually happen.

Posted by: Dircadirca 18th February 2015, 03:37 AM

Earned It up to #3 making strong progress to make a 50 Shades of Grey top 2

Also impressed/pleased to see Kendrick top 50 with The Blacker The Berry considering that it's hardly as pop friendly as "i" was.

Posted by: ElectroBoy 18th February 2015, 09:03 AM

03. The Weeknd // Earned It
09. LuvBug // Revive (Say Something)

Posted by: Joe. 18th February 2015, 09:06 AM

I'm sure Luvbug will free-fall over the next couple of days but it's held up considerably better than I'd expected. Being #6 in the first midweeks is rather good.

Edit - Luvbug just fell from #8 to #11 rather quickly.

Posted by: shadow2009 18th February 2015, 12:12 PM

No sign of 'Lighthouse' in the pre-orders?

Posted by: mr_aly 18th February 2015, 12:19 PM

'Lighthouse' seems to be a lost cause at this point.

I'm gonna start making predictions for these things when I actually start seeing if they get support or not. When I first heard that and saw the video it seemed like one of the most surefire smashes in a long time.

Posted by: jazzy_765 18th February 2015, 12:45 PM

Will Nick Jonas likely miss the Top 40 if Jealous isn't in the top 1000 on preorders?

Posted by: gooddelta 18th February 2015, 02:05 PM

Lighthouse hasn't really done anything at all globally. Very strange for a song which seems to have everything going for it (apart from the aforementioned support, not sure if this is the case in every country and if so, how completely bizarre that it's being avoided en masse).

Posted by: AntoineTTe 18th February 2015, 02:39 PM

A complete opposite opinion to me. The two number 1s so far in 2015 have been well below average for me.

Posted by: Joe. 18th February 2015, 02:54 PM

Current iTunes top ten:
1 Ellie Goulding Love Me Like You Do (From "Fifty Shades Of Grey") (+#12)

I hope that's enough for Disciples to get top 10 next week!

Posted by: SevenSeize 18th February 2015, 11:29 PM

I get the feeling it'll be one of those songs that debuts high-ish off pre-orders but stalls/drops off quite quickly (a bit like 'Teach Me' did). Hope i'm wrong though, looks like it can at least get a Top 20 debut though which is very good!

Posted by: Rob S 18th February 2015, 11:34 PM

well it's up to 155 now so I'd say it's chances are pretty strong, even if it makes anywhere around #9/#10

Kelly also top 200 now on pre orders

Posted by: Wall-e 18th February 2015, 11:37 PM

Hopefully Kelly Clarkson is top 100 by the end of the week following her Loose Women & Graham Norton performance.

Posted by: Jonjo 19th February 2015, 11:24 AM

Apparently Loreen is back in the top 200? Omg. The hype for her comeback is real! *.* (unless Rob has disgustingly lied to me! In which he will not be forgiven! ) (but I may have read it wrong and half asleep and he actually meant Kelly)

139. The Weeknd - Wicked Games

Posted by: JosephStyles 19th February 2015, 02:32 PM

No third single has been announced yet, annoyingly! It really should be Where Do Broken Hearts Go though.

#1 on the day Lucy Beale was killed in EastEnders.

#1 (on iTunes) on the day a Melodifestivalen entry was temporarily more popular than any other song ever released in the United Kingdom.

Posted by: Umi 19th February 2015, 03:21 PM

When was a Melodifest entry #1 on UK iTunes? I don't think I understand your post

Loreen was a Melfest entry, she of course won it to represent Sweden at Eurovision

Is The Script's 'Man On A Wire' doing anything yet?

nowhere to be seen. I wouldn't be surprised to see it miss the top 75.

Posted by: Mango 19th February 2015, 04:46 PM

No I think it should be able to crack the Top 75 in the coming weeks, I'd say Top 40 is unlikely though.

40. BLUR - GO OUT
After 10 years... and the album Pre Orders is already top 15.

Posted by: Eric_Blob 19th February 2015, 08:58 PM

I remember the first time I heard Feel The Love I found it so weird. It's very 'airy' and 'bright' compared to normal drum & bass songs, not to mention is has brass instruments. But it didn't take me long to fall in love with the song.

Posted by: ML Hammer95 19th February 2015, 09:05 PM

It sounded so unique at the time that I think it took a lot of time to grow on people. The brass instruments have become part of their signature sound, I wonder if they change that for the second album?

It's a great song though

We absolutely do need more Meghan and John "Chart Saviour" Legend in the chart *.*

(I was wondering why that song was so high, thanks Ryan!)

Posted by: mr_aly 19th February 2015, 11:17 PM

I guess that means 'Dear Future Husband' is not on the cards for third single after all?

Posted by: Cody Slayberry 19th February 2015, 11:41 PM

I honestly still want "Dear Future Husband" as a single It responded well in the US when the EP was released. Obviously it depends on what her team goes for.

If only "You & I (Nobody In The World)" got a proper single push... soooooooo much better than "All Of This Crap"

Posted by: Ryan. 20th February 2015, 12:54 AM

Dear Future Husband is the next single in Australia so I would assume it will be here too, I guess this is just a case of Heart picking a Heart FM-friendly track from the album to support.

Posted by: Umi 20th February 2015, 12:59 AM

Well yes but it feels strange to describe it as a Melodifest entry when it was a Melfest winner Maybe if 'My Heart Is Refusing Me' had been the iTunes #1...

+ the wording was quite strange if it's referring to 'Euphoria'. It essentially said "Euphoria was #1 on iTunes on the day it was #1 on iTunes".

It's an instant grat. Geronimo isn't out until 9th March.

Posted by: gooddelta 20th February 2015, 02:14 PM

It was, it was a reaction to that Lucy Beale thing! Anyway, sorry for any confusion, it's just my own humour not really translating very well I guess.

WOO for Sheppard though, a song showing up as an instant grat at least shows that SOMEBODY is pre-ordering the album.

Posted by: Tom Moroder Kay 20th February 2015, 02:20 PM

I got it And tbh I think Bombs Away will be bigger than Geronimo here, ior at least peak higher, they've already been kind of written off as a Radio 2 act bizarrely.

#21 according to Ben's thread.

And it wasn't in the top 40 mids was it?

Posted by: ¡brébycakes! 20th February 2015, 09:12 PM

When did Guetta get that high? (Referring to the fact it was apparently #21 before EastEnders, before someone responds to this post with 'it was on EastEnders!!1!') I'm sure it was still well outside the top 40 last time I checked. Then again I haven't really been closely following iTunes recently.

Yawn at it heading for the top 10 though.

Posted by: BrookeOlivia 20th February 2015, 10:08 PM

Its showing has #8 on my itunes.

8. What I did for love

Glad this is doing well, such an amazing episode of Eastenders

Posted by: Joe. 20th February 2015, 10:11 PM

From Kworb it looks as though David will at least get to #7. Not sure if he'll get any higher.

Where was it in the Friday mids? Top 50?

Posted by: liamk97 20th February 2015, 10:24 PM

#45 on Friday and this latest surge might be enough for it to get into the Top 40, depends on streaming over the weekend.

Posted by: James1987 20th February 2015, 10:29 PM

It really threw me tonight...one minute we had the Julia's theme them suddenly WIDFL starts blaring out and fireworks are going off

Really happy to see this getting a boost though, deserves to chart higher than its previous peak of 24

Posted by: April 20th February 2015, 10:46 PM

What I Did for Love now to #7

I think that's the furthest it will go now, looks like there's a big gap between #6 and #7.

Posted by: SLlewellyn 20th February 2015, 11:33 PM

Given it's gone from 0.1520 to 0.3082 (and would now be 0.33+ to have overtaken Maroon 5), I think it could definitely catch up with DJ Fresh. Regardless, it's fantastic to see this song boosted towards the top of the charts where it belongs. Yes it's a pretty average track from Guetta after "Dangerous", but it's too good not to be a hit; and I'm just thankful the label/he didn't go with the diabolical "Hey Mama".

Posted by: ► ▲ N 20th February 2015, 11:44 PM

I read on Buzzjack that 'Hey Mama' is going to be the follow-up to 'What I Did For Love' Hopefully it's not true.

Posted by: Rob S 20th February 2015, 11:57 PM

Kelly up to 147! Was a wonderful performance
edit 131 now.

Posted by: ManicKangaroo 21st February 2015, 12:45 AM

35. Calvin Harris - Pray to God (feat. HAIM)
39. Jack Savoretti - Home

Posted by: Jonjo 21st February 2015, 03:38 AM

#126 for Kelly now! Getting more and more confident that this will be a top 10 hit for her.

162. Loreen - Euphoria
905. Rudimental - Feel The Love

Well. I think we know who was the REAL chart champion of this battle. Slay a bit.



JOHN NEWMAN WHO!?

Posted by: ¡brébycakes! 21st February 2015, 03:52 AM

Jonjo, kindly cease your trolling.

Posted by: Cody Slayberry 21st February 2015, 04:06 AM

In all seriousness, I guess there's a pre-Eurovision boost for Loreen?

Posted by: SevenSeize 21st February 2015, 04:22 AM

The song that's sold around 700,000 more copies overall....? *.* King Newman forever slaying Loreen and her temporary fluke sales boosts

Posted by: Jonjo 21st February 2015, 04:31 AM

It's 59p

If it's still 59p around Eurovision time, then I can see it going top 100 on iTunes again.

Posted by: James1987 21st February 2015, 05:34 AM

Calvin really needs to keep climbing, Pray To God deserves to be a top 10 hit!

I know the impact date is in March but I had hoped the video would have given this a bigger boost

Posted by: ML Hammer95 21st February 2015, 08:54 AM

Too true!

David Guetta feat. Emeli Sande - What I Did For Love #6

Posted by: Ultraviolence1989 21st February 2015, 10:58 AM

6. David/Emeli
16. Taylor Swift- Style
110. Kelly Clarkson- Heartbeat Song (PRE-ORDER)

Posted by: mr_aly 21st February 2015, 11:00 AM

YAY for Kelly, both that and Disciples going top 10 next week would be an ideal result for me.

(And Madonna but that's a pipe dream)

Posted by: Jack 21st February 2015, 11:04 AM

Really pleased to see What I Did For Love become a hit, my fave this era by far!

Posted by: marcin 21st February 2015, 11:34 AM

Oh Lord, this Kelly Clarkson track is such a dross, how come it's so high on pre-orders?

Posted by: Joe. 21st February 2015, 11:35 AM

Graham Norton.

Posted by: Mart!n 21st February 2015, 11:45 AM

Great to see David Guetta top 10, I believe David is up for an international Brits award on Weds, should give the track a bit more of a boost.

Posted by: ► ▲ N 21st February 2015, 12:16 PM

was the song just used as background music on Eastenders or was it more prominently used? Either way that is an impressive boost for Guetta

Posted by: liamk97 21st February 2015, 12:20 PM

The full song (albeit sped up slightly) was used at the end of the show during a firework display.

Posted by: Joe. 21st February 2015, 12:21 PM

No it was predominately used as part of an ending montage.

4. David Guetta - What I Did for Love (feat. Emeli Sandé)

WTFF.

Posted by: Rob S 21st February 2015, 12:43 PM

Woah I can't remember the last time EE had such a big effect on a song.

Posted by: April 21st February 2015, 12:46 PM

Gods & Monsters? That went from no where to a #39 peak and another week just outside the top 40.

Posted by: gooddelta 21st February 2015, 12:52 PM

Just shows what high ratings and the effective use of a full song can do

Posted by: Simon. 21st February 2015, 01:11 PM

It's been in my head all day and I can't stand Emeli Sande

Madonna isn't released tonight right? It's going to be Brits night?

Posted by: gavindeejay 21st February 2015, 01:27 PM

I think David Guetta's guaranteed Top 40 at the very least tomorrow now....probably at the expense of Bakermat

Posted by: Joe. 21st February 2015, 01:57 PM

I was never fussed about the song, but since eastenders it's been in my head all day. Helps that it's at the top of the 59p batch when you open it too. What are we predicting for this?

Top 30? #29

Posted by: Dobbo 21st February 2015, 02:00 PM

I'd kinda forgot about it after the XF performance but good to see it make a resurgence and surely a repeak.

One of the middle tracks on the album for me, decent but not standout. Hey Mama is so much better (definitely in the minority on this one though )

Posted by: Rob S 21st February 2015, 02:03 PM

Kelly up to 102 now looking very certain to go top 10 now. Just hope now its streaming performance will be decent next week.

Style 15
Pray to God 33

Posted by: mr_aly 21st February 2015, 02:04 PM

Yes, 'Hey Mama' is atrocious!

Posted by: gavindeejay 21st February 2015, 02:04 PM

When you think about it, lyrically the song was perfect. It reflected the episode as a whole and represented what Jane, Mick and Phil did for their families.

Hope it can stay Top 10 into next week. Being 59p should help it.

Posted by: ¡brébycakes! 21st February 2015, 03:17 PM

As long as it doesn't end up outpeaking 'Dangerous'. To me it's just another lazy and dull song from him and a MASSIVE step down from 'Dangerous' which was his best single for years.

Posted by: Liаm 21st February 2015, 03:49 PM

Hey Mama is by FAR the best on the album! It's good to see him doing something different, I hate when DJs like him and Calvin Harris do most of their albums on autopilot In those cases it's usually the featured artist who redeems the songs but on Calvin Harris' album even Tinashe and Gwen Stefani (well, the latter can't carry her own songs this era let alone anyone else's) who I LOVE can't elevate the songs above about a 7/10.

Posted by: April 21st February 2015, 04:13 PM

Yeah, it was a great song to sum up the episode, but also something upbeat for the fireworks.

If only they played Madonna - Living For Love. She would be coming for #1 next week.

Kelly is going to miss top 10 unless she can climb to about 4 on Wednesday, due to BRITS effect. (I didn't take this into consideration the other day! )

Posted by: Envoirment 21st February 2015, 06:08 PM

Oh dear I completely forgot about the Brits. Hopefully she'll go top 20 and maybe climb to the top 10 the week after? She has Loose Women on Monday 2nd March I believe. Urgh if only she released a week or two later.

Posted by: ▲Rob▲ 21st February 2015, 06:12 PM

Madonna not top 1500?

Posted by: Joe. 21st February 2015, 06:16 PM

It's not just Radio 1 snubbing Madonna, it's everyone. Hence the 0 pre-orders.

Posted by: April 21st February 2015, 06:18 PM

It won't help releasing on Wednesday either.

Posted by: jase. 21st February 2015, 06:21 PM

Nope, it's just not doing anything

Posted by: gavindeejay 21st February 2015, 06:23 PM

She's gonna have to have a massive performance on the Brits for this 'Livin' For Love' do anything. I'm predicting low Top 40 at best.

Posted by: Paramore 21st February 2015, 06:26 PM

I've seen the video a few times today, not that it has more of an effect than radio

Posted by: The Hit Parade 21st February 2015, 06:35 PM

I think I've heard it on Radio 2 a couple of times, if it's the one that sounds like a lame version of 'Love Is Gonna Lift You Up'?

Posted by: steve201 21st February 2015, 08:10 PM

Is she not on capital?

Posted by: gavindeejay 21st February 2015, 09:16 PM

I think she's listen on their playlist, but I don't think she's getting many plays if any.

Posted by: Aphrodite 21st February 2015, 09:38 PM

I have always loved what i did for love and was disappointed it didnt do better on the back of the x factor performance,thankfully it been used on the fantastic live episode of EastEnders has given it a much needed and deserved boost.

Posted by: jase. 21st February 2015, 10:27 PM

30. Chandelier - Sia
50. Chandelier - Sia

Posted by: Envoirment 21st February 2015, 11:33 PM

Great to see The Voice boosting this nicely! At this rate, Chandelier may outlast "Elastic Heart" Although saying that, the latter's airplay is improving and it's now top 40 on the 7-day rolling airplay chart.

#93. Kelly Clarkson - Heartbeat Song (pre-order)

Looks like that's the highest it'll be until release in 30 minutes! Should be able to go top 5 on iTunes I think, given that competition is fairly low. Fingers crossed she'll build up a decent lead before the Brits so she can hang on to a top 10 placing.

Posted by: Mart!n 22nd February 2015, 12:03 AM

New iTunes topic coming up bear with me, Jay seems to be having an early night again
