I like it when members say a certain act has got a physical out as well :lol: physicals don't do zip.

 

Unless it's an xfactor related single

Don't agree with you Mikey. Miraculously the physicals do help in the way of not just adding 1k-2k to other sales, but people often orientate on the physical release to buy the track on download. And the track is growing on downloads too. The latest example is Inna - Hot (up from 9 to 7 on the physical week).

Yes I agree, Usually they don't. Diana Vickers will sell more than the average act would so If the two were neck and neck it would have some sort of advantage.

Physicals can do the difference in the lower positions (say between 20-40) but in the upper region only if it's the X Factor's winner song right after the end of the show or some kind of a charity single.

And yes, miss Vickers is an X-Factor-related act who always have pretty good physical sales especially for the current climate.

I really hope this can go #01, but I don't think it will :(

It was so obvious Diana would be heading for no.1. Is anyone actually surprised considering the massive head start she's had in her career?

Do you mean the X-Factor? Well, it was a while ago. I think of all popular XF-artists Diana is the less X-Factor-connected act. Like Selena Gomez and the Disney.

Just downloaded Chipmunk he has no chance and I do love it as well :wub:

 

Other news 3oh!3 are at #140..The Kid cudi edit is AMAZING!

the weeks not over chipmunk could catch up

Oh come off it. Hardly anyone would care about her if she wasn't 'That Girl Off X Factor', and radio stations wouldn't be playing her song to death.

LOL what? X Factor artists who don't win/make the final rarely do well chartwise. Leona, Alex and JLS are the only exceptions.

She's done well DESPITE X Factor. Normally, if you don't win XF, not get to the finals or not a novelty act then the music industry would think you're not good enough. Look at the talent of Laura White. She came 8th - no radio support and no major record deal.

 

Diana Vickers and Ruth Lorenzo have done incredibly well in getting major record deals. It shows that they had something special. Like them or not, you can't deny that.

 

Anyway :w00t: at #2. :D

Diana has had a huge advantage - she was popular on X Factor and the name is very familiar with the general public and people in the entertainment industry. The use of her name has no doubt helped her get promotional slots and media hype over other artists. However, these opportunities also mean she has had to work very hard. A promotional tour is exhuasting - and if it is successful it only paves the way for more promotional tours!

 

In her case: Advantage + Hard Work + Commercial Sound = Smash Hit

Come on Diana Vickers :D

 

I don't care that Diana made a name for herself through The X Factor. 'Once' is an excellent song, imo, whilst the new Chipmunk single would be better if Chipmunk didn't talk over Esmee's vocals. Then again, it's not a patch on 'Oopsie Daisy' so doesn't deserve to be anywhere near the no. 1 spot.

Diana Vickers :w00t: just bought my copy!

If anyone is interested, I've just posted an update in the pinned "For your eyes only" topic ;)

I just bought Vickers as well :D I really like it - fair play to her for all her hard work promoting this - I really hope it gets to #1 next week!

3OH!3 up to #121. Looks as if it may scrape top 40, lower end again :lol:

:w00t: I didn't think Diana would be at #2 this quickly! I hope either Diana or Chipmée get #1 ^_^

If anyone is interested, I've just posted an update in the pinned "For your eyes only" topic ;)

 

Thanks :D Very colourful :D

 

How far away is Diana from Usher?
