I think britneys management were silly to not release a physical as she is known for having a big fanbase. I bet they are having kittens that she's doing so well on itunes but not so much in the chart.

It wasn't as many as 50 and that was actually my mate who is a very nice person. But she knew she was alone in doing it, its not like all fans did it. I bought one copy. All i am saying is, people are making out as though JLS are only doing well because of 5 different covers and its not true. They are doing well because they have released an album with two number ones on it.

 

Realistically there would only be a handful of people that would have brought all 5, my only problem is its the encouragment to do so. The person who brought however many copies of Loving Kind did it off their own back. I know there was slight encouragement from the official website, but there's a difference between that and actually putting out so many different versions enticing fans to buy them all. As a fan, in the good old days of 2cd sets i would buy both, if there was just 1cd i would be the 1cd - i wouldn't but 2 of the 1cd. - Is this making sense. Again this is only my opinion. And good luck to JLS and Robbie i have nothing against them - and hey at least people are actually buying these albums, instead of getting them illegally

What i'm loving is that it kinda proves there is still a place for the physical cd!

its incredible to see BEP (the clear underdogs) with their 3rd single taking on leona's much hyped lead single. BEP's song has been around along time on itunes plus the album is out but nevertheless its on. but simon is ruthless and very competitive he will get leona to #1 by sunday by any means neccessary. he wants all his "acts" to get #1s so he can brag about them. if only BEP were doing more tv promo to match leona

You're very right, its known that some fans will buy literally everything released, there's some fans who are so loyal, they would rob their own granny aslong as they'd got every version of something.

 

But with the loving kind thing, that was someones choice like you say. There was only one cd and one vinyl released, its hardly management pushing sales.

I think you're taking this a little too seriously. BEP's will get to No 1 and Cowell won't do jack.

 

They tried mega hard to get better in time to no1, performance on dancing on ice the sunday before release and making it a charity single. I think it is important to simon for leona to get number 1's. Which is why it'll all the more funny if she doesnt get to no1 lol

Yeah but what's he going to do? Get her to do a performance on the Saturday X factor? Buy 10000 copies himself? Let's face it, I don't think he cares one way or the other as long as the album does well, and anyone suspecting him of really caring whether Leona is at No 1 or not is clearly deluded. BEP 4 da win!!!

 

Crazy that N-Dubz are selling that much. :mellow:

 

Good to see Leona still on top, hopefully GMTV will help a tiny bit too!

Surprised to see how close it is between BEPs and Leona, also leonas sales are so low compared to previous number 1s this year from x factor.

 

BEPs could easily overtake Leona by sunday, 181 people could all be proved wrong! :lol:

 

also JLS overtaking Robbie! I reckon whoevers number 1 tomorrow will stay there til Sunday, quite surprised as Robbies album has received very positive reviews and JLS has had mixed reviews

 

of course he cares, he is an egomaniac with him its all about being the best. he wants #1 especially for her lead single! leona is his biggest act on his record label. you CANNOT have you biggest act not get #1 when you have set it up perfectly for her to achieve it. he has paid the voiceover man already for her tv ads, the tag line...."happy the stunning number #1 single from her amazing new album echo"

You watch, next year we won't get any special guests and it'll all be X Factor related

Either that or it'll be leona and the cheeky girls lol

Both JLS (Albums) AND BEP's (Singles) closing in really quick! :o

How do you know, you personally met the man? It's a reputation he likes to fuel, but I always am a bit reluctant to believe the media's portrayal of a person without seeing them in the flesh. Anyway, theres nothing he can do about the chart battle.. and I am sure on the advert the announcer could just say: happy the stunning hit single from her amazing new album echo and it'll sell just as many copies..

 

I dont need to meet simon cowell to know he's a knob but anyway....

it hurts me how Britney still sits at #7 after 3 days being at #3 on iTunes :agrr:

 

also go BEP :heehee:...I'm expecting only hundred copies between in tomorrows midweek.

I dont need to meet simon cowell to know he's a knob but anyway....

 

A VERY SUCCESSFUL knob tho.. :arrr:

Its probably his success that has made him a knob.

If that's the case, I wonder what will happen to all those winners of the Euro millions :kink: but anyway, back to the matter at hand..
