I think top 3 but I'm hoping it will get #1, she deserves it because this is her best song

Absolutely agree. It's shameful to be applauding someone's failure unless they really deserve to fail and have been going on about how much of a success they are.

 

I'm sure i see you 'hating' all over this website. :unsure:

 

I'm still sure for top 10 after X Factor even if it isnt getting support from radio & TV. May negatively affect the performance of the deluxe though..

The deluxe is doing well on pre-orders atm :)

Ithink it'll go top 10 before the x factor performance,and when she peforms the single will rocket into number 1 position :)

Currently ANY version of 'The Silence' is not in the iTunes top 300 - surely by now (unless the release date has been put forward?) some interest would be filtering down to the original which has been available since initial album release?

 

Given so, how rare/exceptional circumstances is it for PHYSICAL singles sales ALONE to get a song so high in the chart?

XF performances aren't guaranteed 100% success chart topping success even with past winners/contestants.

 

Apart from the odd exception, this thread has had its common sense/chart knowledge slaughtered by wishful thinking imo :(

I have no doubt this will go top 10 if she has an X Factor performance, but considering how long it has been out for and how many people already have the album, I can't see it breaking top 5. Would love it if this went to number 1 but I highly doubt it will.
My favourite song from the Outcome album, it should be number 1 but unfortunately don't think it will be :cry:

Ok 8-) Thesilence is at #159 on itunes ,you were saying?

This exactly what everyone was saying about #SWY and i know it was only 6 weeks old,but still .I believe that the silence will get to number 1 ,just because it's one of the best songs of 2010.

 

 

 

 

Should be #1 but I shall settle for top 20 :(
Am I the only one who thinks the Burke will shoot to #1 tonight with The Silence after her performance? Her first big ballad post the winner's song two years ago + X-Factor performance = download frenzy.

Yes. Don't be so deluded.

Alex's 4th number 1 :yahoo: has to be

Its not in the top 50 on either radio or tv play. :unsure: Its going to do what Gotta Be Somebody & My Wicked Heart did i think, or peak low top 10.

I think its her second best release though behind All Night Long.

 

What happened to Shakira ft Dizzie? I see its being released on 13th Dec apparently, but its nowhere to be seen anywhere :huh:

I think Alex will be lucky to get top 20 tbh. I think a 'Lose My Mind' sort of boost should be reachable but I really can't see alot more.

I was thinking more of a comparison to Leona's Run performance back in 2008 with it being a big ballad off a re-issued/deluxe album and getting a prime slot on the show. Run sold 132k off the back of an X-F performance depite not being available to download for another two weeks (and 255,000 copies of the album in those three weeks). Surely the potential is there to see something similar?

No, it wont have the same effect of Leona's, that was unique. Everyone was talking about it even before the incredible X Factor performance, Run went on to sell 650,000 on downloads alone for just being epic (also was #1 on both TV & Radio). The deluxe went on to sell over 1million copies. :D

The Silence should get low top 10 though officially, maybe top 5 for a short time on iTunes then fall during the week like Gotta Be Somebody.

The Silence is on 'Overcome'. The vast majority of people who'd want it will already own it.

True, so say the 'new' :blink: (which is hardly new) version isnt released till tomorrow, after her X Factor performance it'll be the 'old' version on Overcome going up the chart, and as you say most of the people who want it would already own it so isnt going to impact on the chart massively..

Yeah, I think this is what is missing from 6weeks' analysis - The Silence is already available to download,while Leona's Run was held back and was basically a new release.

 

Run also had massive hype around it and when it is performed anywhere around the world it enters the top 10 on that countries iTunes. It is in a unique band of songs in the respect - along with Make You Feel My Love.

 

The Silence is awesome, but just isn't on the same level. It should have a significant boost after tonight though, and I'd put that boost akin to Somewhere between Katy Perry's Firework and Diana's My Wicked heart.

 

Although if it somehow did defy all odds and hit iTunes/Official #1 like 6weeks suggests I'd be delighted.
