Posted August 21, 201014 yr This Week on the News and online Preeya Kalida (aka Amira Shah. from Eastenders) has been dropped from her records label as her single shimmy did not get high in the charts, however this is not the case, the song got Number 1 in August for 2 weeks on BBC Asian Network official Charts, as it is your downloads, but the mainstrem charts got to Number 85, the record label may have dropped her carer of music and new planed album, but ask your self how can you get better than a Number 1.
August 21, 201014 yr but ask your self how can you get better than a Number 1. by getting a Number 1 in the REAL Uk charts? :lol:
August 21, 201014 yr by getting a Number 1 in the REAL Uk charts? :lol: :lol: Shes on Skeptas new single I think and is now signed to another record label ?
August 21, 201014 yr This Week on the News and online Preeya Kalida (aka Amira Shah. from Eastenders) has been dropped from her records label as her single shimmy did not get high in the charts, however this is not the case, the song got Number 1 in August for 2 weeks on BBC Asian Network official Charts, as it is your downloads, but the mainstrem charts got to Number 85, the record label may have dropped her carer of music and new planed album, but ask your self how can you get better than a Number 1. By getting to #1 in a chart of ANY significance whatsoever. As the only mainstream Asian artist releasing, well, ANYTHING at the moment (probably toppling Jay Sean's 30 week stranglehold at number one with Down), #1 on the BBC Asian Network's charts really means nothing considering she sold somewhere in the region of fuck all. I bet she regrets leaving Eastenders now!
August 21, 201014 yr What was the name of the song? I'll youtube it and if it's any good I'll buy a copy!
August 21, 201014 yr yes, but its better getting a number 1 in the Official chart- thats the one everyone cares about! you make 85- no one cares- even if it is number 1 on another chart, it doesnt make any difference, simples :lol:
August 21, 201014 yr Some charts are just quite easy to get to #1 in, and if you do, nobody cares. Like look at this chart. http://www.theofficialcharts.com/rock-and-...-singles-chart/ Goo Goo Dolls have been in the chart for 164 weeks, and they're still #3 (down 1). :lol:
August 21, 201014 yr How many copies did she sell to get number 1 in the asian charts? If it isnt substantial, then i can understand the reason for her to be dropped.
August 21, 201014 yr Some people on here are being rather cruel.It is a shame that she was not given a chance to develop.Sometimes it takes more than one single for your career to take off.Shimmy though was not the strongest single and the record company should take the blame for that.
August 21, 201014 yr I completely agree. Unfortunately the way the record companies work are by the success of chart positions or sales. She should be given a chance to develop her skills in being an artist. Maybe she needs to re-invent her sound that will appeal to a wider audience beyond the asian fanbase Edited August 21, 201014 yr by soundseekerz
August 22, 201014 yr If she had come out with a half decent song and they hadn't have dressed her terribly, i believe that she would have at least got a top20 hit considering she is quite known..
