All of them bar the best tracks LOL. ('Radio', 'Ave Maria', 'Smash Into You' imo)

 

Also I'm getting annoyed so much with these facebook campaigns :( They're preventing songs who genuinely sell well from getting the positions/peaks they deserve...

 

What SFG..... Who cares if it stops them from doing well. :lol: they shouldn't be near the number 1 :(

Yeah, I have to say I'm not loving History Maker having just listened to it. It's alright but there are 100's of other indie tracks that have been released this year which have deserved to do better. It's for a good cause but it's really average to me, particularly production wise - very dated.

who are Delerious?

They're a Christian rock group. The Facebook campaign is to get Christian rock music to no. 1 in time for Easter Sunday. It ain't gonna happen unless there's more people willing to buy this over the next three days. I'll be gobsmacked if they manage to outsell Scouting For Girls. They sound like Linkin Park to me!!! :unsure:

I care LOL :P

 

It's not just preventing SFG from getting a higher and deserved peak (after selling so many copies to be number 1 etc...). It's essentially pushing all the other songs down a place, thus preventing a higher/proper peak for other songs. (That's why I was so annoyed at the RATM campaign (not because it prevented Joe from getting number 1))

Delirious up to 4 :o

 

as easter sunday is this sunday, I wouldnt be surprised if a saturday boost manages to get to 3 or even 2

Apparently, it's the next single from the I Am... Sasha Fierce album. How many songs have they released about this album? a million :lol: Anyway, I like the song it's way better than Video Phone.

How do you know it's the next single, nothing's been announced as far as I know -_- And Diva was playing on the music channels a lot, a while ago, and that was never released :wacko:

I said apparently. ;) It been said from limited sources :)

The Delirious song is actually pretty good. I'm not complaining :lol:

Ego won't be the next single. If it was ever going to be released, it would have been when released last year in the US.

 

She's done with this era i think. It would make sense plus she has said that she doesn't need Sasha Fierce anymore and Ego was on the SF side...

 

It would be a crime anyway if Ego was released before/instead of Scared Of Lonely. It's an even bigger crime that Videophone was :angry:

They played 'Diva' during the gap between 'Halo' and 'Sweet Dreams', and they're just randomly playing 'Ego' now, which pretty much says that this'll be the next single. :lol:

Why would she release another single off it though? The album is 2 years old, still selling well (Top 30) and the last single did pretty poorly for a Bey single! :huh:

if she was gonna release another single, at least get it right. "Ego" sucks. "Radio" on the other hand was amazing and robbed of an opportunity to be a single thanks to the dreadful Video Phone

I like Ego, but I agree, it pales in comparison to Radio :wub:

Ah, Mr Lovett I just heard it on Capital Radio. :)

I'm confused by all these comments about campaigns distorting the charts. You could equally argue that any label's marketing campaign distorts the charts, as that a grassroots group of people does. Some of these campaigns work and some don't, just like some traditional marketing campaigns work and some don't - it depends on the strength of the song and the story, just like commerce does too. The only difference is it's determined from the ground up rather than top-down by the labels and radio stations.

 

I'm really curious to know whether most Buzzjackers love or hate the idea of my own 'Storm the Charts' group, where the songs that are going to be chosen are coming from a large pool of applicants - half chosen by the public and half by panel - I'm hoping we'll help some really good music and I think that certainly the public voted tracks will have a mandate. I hope this is a group some of you might be interested in, but I'll understand if some of you hate it too! http://bit.ly/chartstorm is the link.

I'm more annoyed that it'll only effect for one or 2 weeks! :mellow: They'll have another run similar to the 1-2-40-OUT that RATM had! Those 3 weeks robbed newer singles that were being released a chance of hitting a more deserving/higher peak.

Ah, Mr Lovett I just heard it on Capital Radio. :)

I heard Diva on Radio 1 the other day, is that being released too? -_-

The Delirious track is quite good actually, although Im not exactly a fan of religious music

 

on the campaigns, if it is a good track that gets a high position then it is a good thing, Killing In The Name was a quality track that charted too low when first released, the fact it made number 1 over some corny rubbish was a success not just in keeping the XF winner off number 1, but there was good music at the top of the christmas charts, something that hadnt happened in a VERY long time

 

NotMyself - I do agree about shutting out newer songs. My thing's all about new music.
