January 11, 201015 yr Ego only needs to sell 30k more and it'll pas FIO sales which will be easily done. I wonder if it can get Silver.
January 11, 201015 yr I just hope it doesn't fall quickly out of the charts. I'd like it to inch up to #6 or something next week but have a feeling it'll be #13 or something. :(
January 11, 201015 yr I think it will fall to about #15 this week, then go up to about #9 or #10 again after the DOI prefomance!
January 11, 201015 yr 'Ego' 11 Play 15 Amazon 15 HMV (Album Version - 31) 16 iTunes (Single Version - 33)
January 11, 201015 yr Plus this is the same label which kept Sophie Ellis Bextor on after an album that scrapped 20-30k. It did just over 40k. Terrible but it doesn't need to be made worse. :P
January 11, 201015 yr Author I know it's sold ok for a couple of weeks but I'm really disappointed it just managed top 10. I really thought it had a good shot at top 3 being a great song with a quality vid. Shame the promo has come late but I suppose some longevity and a healthy sales total will be nice too. Won't even comment on the album sales tbh.
January 11, 201015 yr Finally a full performance of Ego, even if it was mimed. However, i'd still say that my favourite performance of this was at the Switch concert, with the live band and live vocals, and in-sync dancing! I'm so glad that in the interview they actually said they have an album out, and Alan had the Ego CD (even it was the wrong cd case), because normally they're just performing and never get to have an actual interview. I pray to God they're not gonna mime on Sunday's Dancing On Ice, they just can't, please don't let them mime. Every act that has appeared on there has sung live haven't they so far? GA last year, Leona too, Take That as well. -- If you combine the iTunes 'Popularity' positions of the Album version and Single mix, you get a position of #11, which will reflect the midweeks tomorrow. I honestly think it will only drop to #11 or #12 this week, then Top 10 again the following Sunday after the Dancing on Ice performance. Need'unt worry, the sales for this will be great! It can easily out-sell 'Forever Is Over'. -- I'm still really mad at my local HMV store (which is fairly large) because they still dont have the CD in yet becaue "it hasn't been delivered". So i've decided to order it off their website, which I think I may do from now on. Is there any other HMV stores that aren't stocking the CD for some bizzare reason?

If 'Ego' was only made available from Monday then it would of gone Top 3 with it's 90k+ sales, but because the album version was already out there on the album it has only so far peaked at #9. But remember, it's really the sales that count nowadays, not the actual chart position. Edited January 11, 201015 yr by olm-remix

January 11, 201015 yr I'm amazed Ego went top 10 for some reason, I thought it'd flop badly just like I thought "Issues" was gonna flop badly - Guess I'm wrong again :lol: I'm addicted to the Almighty Club Mix of the song as well :wub:
January 12, 201015 yr The recent weather. ;) Maybe, yet they can order them in on customer request... Im putting it down to human error.
January 12, 201015 yr I swear after almost every single you have said the saturdays will either get dropped or will get dropped after the next single. ...nope... i said consistently that if their records dont sell enough , make enough money, they will be dropped. so far they have failed to become 'secure', they havnt nailed it, they have failed to become a household name, a well known brand.. its all down to money, theyll survive as long as they make money... the chart positions and even sales are only a guilde. i still believe their future is in the balance especially after they admit themselves that 'if wordshaker doesnt do well, there wont be a third album'... so far id suggest that wordshaker as performed poorly and a possible third album is in doubt. their future is far from secure...
January 12, 201015 yr 'Ego' 08 Play (Single Mix - 48) 15 Amazon 16 iTunes (Single Mix - 37) 19 HMV (Album Version - 29)
January 12, 201015 yr 'Ego' still holding up a bit and Wordshaker jumping up 60 places in three days. I'm a happy Saturdays fan. :D
January 12, 201015 yr At last the album is starting to pick up, looks like ego may help the album after all which is great.
January 12, 201015 yr Single mix now out of the top 40 on iTunes. :( Album version still at #16. :( Just hope the physicals are strong.
