February 24, 201114 yr I really hate to say this but i've got a bad feeling this is actually gonna miss the Top 40 :( it's still not doing *that* well on iTunes, Radio 1 aren't playlisting it, there doesn't seem to be that much promotion, and even though McFly normally sell well on physicals, these days more than ever, physicals only represent a very small percentage of the chart overall. I just hope i'm proved totally wrong.
February 24, 201114 yr Author I really hate to say this but i've got a bad feeling this is actually gonna miss the Top 40 :( it's still not doing *that* well on iTunes, Radio 1 aren't playlisting it, there doesn't seem to be that much promotion, and even though McFly normally sell well on physicals, these days more than ever, physicals only represent a very small percentage of the chart overall. I just hope i'm proved totally wrong. I know I probably mention the track far too much, but I hope if this does happen, it doesn't put them off from releasing Nowhere Left to Run. Hoping it does get top 40. If it manages to chart, maybe it'll benefit from all of the chart hits playing on music channels and Radio 1. Hopefully that would allow it to rise. Really have my fingers crossed.
February 24, 201114 yr I too am starting to worry. Having said that, the past two singles they've sold around 10k physicals, which if they could repeat would definitely guarantee them top 40.

I just hope i'm proved totally wrong.The last 2 singles (Party girl and shine a Light) they had more Download sales then Physicals (and that was in total and on first weeks) I dunno it's already on I tunes despite having very little/no airplay and is at 124 on the I tunes chart at the moment and has stayed inside the top 200 since Comedy rocks 2 weeks ago. They will be performing this Live on Comic Relief Lets Dance saturday which could give it a big boost. Mcfly are Not well at the moment. Harry had to pull out of a tv show last night so Danny stepped in. Dougie can't attend a record singing in 2 weeks time due to him being very Ill so Harry will do the signing on his own so they might not even be able to film for Let's dance and they have the Tour Coming up too. I think they should cancell the single to the end of march

I think they should cancell the single to the end of march Dougie doesn't sound good at all judging by that. They really cannot afford to not record Let's Dance - they really, really need the promotion. If that gets cancelled, then yes, I would say they should cancel the single.
February 26, 201114 yr Dougie doesn't sound good at all judging by that. They really cannot afford to not record Let's Dance - they really, really need the promotion. If that gets cancelled, then yes, I would say they should cancel the single.Mcfly have recorded the 'Lets Dance' performance for tommorow (they recorded it earlier this evening) without Dougie and Tom has confirmed he will be doing the bass for the performance. Thats what i like about mcfly they are so verse and can play anumber of different instruments. 'Thats The Truth' is number 97 on Airplay chart Thats the truth has also climbed on i tunes to number 104 and even Shine a Light has climbed once again to 68 and the album is at 119 so is hanging around. I guess 'Thats The Truth' is getting some airplay to keep rising on I tunes and actually getting inside the top 100 airplay (only Just)
February 26, 201114 yr Maybe it's failing because they're 'fanbase' have grown up, they're no longer 11 year old kids.
February 26, 201114 yr Maybe it's failing because they're 'fanbase' have grown up, they're no longer 11 year old kids.It's not failing and hasn't even been released yet. They have done no promotion for it so we don't know how well it will do. They have a hell of alot of fans and most of them are alot older these days. Quick note-3 gigs from the Above The Noise Tour have been moved (Nottingham,Dublin,Belfast Arenas) due to Dougie being really sick It looks like those 3 Gigs will now be at the end of The Arena Tour (so Aprill) Thats From Harry on Twitter
February 26, 201114 yr Regarding the Tour Here's The Bands Official Statement 'Due to illnesses in the band Mcfly have had to move the first 3 dates of their forthcoming arena tour- to the end. They apologise for any inconvenience and hope their fans are understanding of the situation' They are NOT cancelled, just moved! Details on how to exchange/refund tickets will be released early next week. So sorry about having to move the first three shows...that's Nottingham, Belfast and Dublin. They are NOT cancelled just being moved..... It's going to affect everything they are doing the next few weeks The signings,Single and the One of Bolton Stadium Gig
February 26, 201114 yr Fans hoping that a Mc Fly single can get top 40 ? This is really sounding like the end of the game for them ...
February 26, 201114 yr Fans hoping that a Mc Fly single can get top 40 ? This is really sounding like the end of the game for them ...Despite a sold out Arena Tour and having their 2 biggest selling singles in years yeah it's really the end As said 'Thats The Truth' has had no promotion what so ever but i fully expect it to go top 20 and it's at 103 on I tunes today (a week before Release) and they are performing on Lets Dance For Comic Relief which will boost it
February 26, 201114 yr Fans hoping that a Mc Fly single can get top 40 ? This is really sounding like the end of the game for them ... There are so many bands that continued through the years without having good chart success. Even if this were to miss the top 40, I really doubt that's going to disband them!
February 26, 201114 yr Tonight's performance has seen 'Thats The truth' rise to 70 'Shine A Light' has rose to number 60 and the album 'Above The Noise' has took another rise and is at 39 all on i tunes. Thats The Truth entered the official Uk singles chart at 161 last week

February 27, 201114 yr That's the Truth was at #64 when I last looked. That's better!Shine a light is at #62 and Thats The Truth is at #63 :lol: Above the noise is 42 on Albums
February 27, 201114 yr That's The Truth has now over taken Shine A Light :D Would love to see it appear inside the top 40 before it's official release.
February 27, 201114 yr Thats The Truth entered the official Uk singles chart at 161 last week Where did you find this? Do you know where it's at this week? Hopefully top 100 next week!
