Awful :mellow:

Ouch, bit of a flop for this too- considering it was huge elsewhere :(

I'm so glad that 'Gold Dust' using its usual strong weekend effect didn't overtake Stromae among others. Stromae got top-25 peak instead of top-30 peak. Wow, what a difference. :lol:

Such a shame that the biggest European hit of the year doesn't even make the top 20 thanks to the xenophobic british market and lack of promo :snif:

#25. What an utter disaster of a peak. Expected, as all of the Euro hits are flopping here this year but I'm gutted :(

Hmmm it was huge, but Waka Waka is the biggest european hit of the year I think.

Yay! They played Angel Dance (if only for 5 seconds)

 

The Saturdays are as terrible as usual.

wooooo least missing you has climbeddd for the first time :)

I'm still yet to hear 'Higher' lol

OK, fair enough, but the same applies. It didn't get airplay until the awful rock mix came out, and everytime Reggie played it he announced it in a horrible (and bizarrely racist) "african voice".

Pleased that 'Missing You' isn't bombing as hard as I thought it would've.

I'm still yet to hear 'Higher' lol

 

It's about 50 times better than this.

This needs to go away- its already starting to sound old

 

Higher is a lot better

I forget why Missing You is reclimbing. Was the series finale of 24/7 this week?

You're overdramatic, Tom. :P

 

I think THIS is an example when the release should be handled into only one week instead of spreading its sales throughout several weeks before a proper release.

 

If Stromae was released last week:

1. Radio 1 would've A-listed it because it wouldn't see that it was semi-flopping;

2. It would've got higher peak and caught much more media attention which would lead to much healthier follow-up sales.

 

All this song basically needed is the top-10 iTunes effect...
