First page 3rd post updated, for some members that don't want to troll through the thread topic.

If they had a massive promo show tonight it could have been possible, just maybe. But hey not going to happen for them.

I like club cant handle me, great song!

The sales are going to be very tight at the weekend, with the film 'Step Up 3" everywhere. At the very least the Sats could hold to the #1 lead tomorrow, only just... physicals will go to their favour, but I can see Flo Rida nabbing it on Sunday by a whisker. At least the Sunday chart will be interesting to know who is at #1, let's hope Reggie doesn't give it away with his statistics at the start of the show.

 

If the Sats lose out by 20 copies in the end, they will be really gutted, or just by 1 copy :heehee:

Maybe the management are paying people to buy the song? I can't see how they've held on.

I believe they have strong physicals..

There climbing on play.com, amazon and hmv so maybe thats helping! They will be number one tommorow i think but only just! U-Stream tonight might get a couple of hundred download with the accoustic version of missing you... and they will tell everyone to buy it.. Thats there final push :(

If there serious about being number 1 they cannot let u-stream be their last push. I was their management I would be touring every radio station and ringing every HMV store to try and organise more promo for Friday and Saturday. I would not care how desperate it looks. Otherwise what are the Sats going to do sit and watch their Itunes pop bars decline

:lol: Do you think The Saturdays actually look at the iTunes Pop. Bars?

People need to get a grip!

 

#1 isn't the be all and end all!

 

Janet Jackson is yet to get a #1. Girls Aloud's first 12 singles (bar SotU) don't touch The Sats' 8 (7 if you exclude 'Work') singles sales-wise. Pink didn't get a solo number one until 9 years into her career.

They're hardly going to be paying people to buy the music, they're holding on just about, tomorrow they'll be down to #2, that may not be end of drop as satrday might see eminem and rihanna have increased sales and then sats wil be down to #3 by sunday despite being # for majority of the week!

And as sceneofsixcrimes has said, #1 really isnt essential, its more of a nice bonus. :)

Ooh but do I see ? The little Goulding could well get her single into the top20 by Sunday :o

Quite an achievement for that kind of song.

P!nk scored her first solo #1 with 'Just Like A Pill' in 2002, 2 years into her career. ;)

Sorry I keep forgetting that JLAP went to number one because I've always seen 'Get the Party Started' as bigger. :P

 

Oh and it was 3 years into her career. :P

Are you seriously comparing sales from 2003/4/5 to 8/9/10? :wacko:

Regardless of the sales climate, record companies need to make money and even around the period of 2003-2005, GA's sales weren't among the highest. I don't think any, besides SotU and ISBY sold over 100k until SKO.

 

However, I guess album sales are far more important and you can't really compare CG's and W's sales to those of SotU, WWTNS, C, TSoGA, TU and OOC. Again, though, today's sales climate is poor album-wise.

Quite a lot of GA songs sold over 100k before 'Something Kinda Ooooh' - 'No Good Advice', 'Jump', 'Love Machine', 'Biology'. ;)

I cant see how their still there- I think it will be close on sunday

 

but this still strangely echoes the Happy/MMH battle as in the pattern

:( I really hope the Saturdays do it, it would be cruel for Flo Rida to do that to them AGAIN.

To be honest singles aren't the be all and end all. That's the problem the Sats and the Sugababes have had in their most recent eras - Good performing singles, but they don't sell the albums.

 

Ego did very well, performed great, but it only shifted the album into the top 40 for a week (and thanks to a price cut) before it went back out of the top 100 again.

 

There seems to be a disconnect. Clearly people are willing to spend 99p on one track, but for some reason aren't willing to spend 8.99 or whatever on 10 or whatever. The question is why? Is it quality? Is the lead sinbgle doesn't represent the album? Marketing? or is simply that their fans don;t buy albums?

 

I've no idea but that's what needs to be fixed. Whether MY gets to #1 or #10 isn't the issue, it's what the album does and how much follow up singles support that.

what place are jedward this week?
