On my way to the Toon! :D

I never even considered that Cheryl wouldn't get the top spot with her album :/. Where did bieber fever come from over here, still no number 1 single, Boyfriends chart run was nothing too impressive. I really hope she managed to get #1 by Sunday...and if she doesn't it will be yet another testament towards England's awful music taste.

#2 in the midweeks - I'll hold my hands up and admit I was wrong with my over confidence. However it's still early days, and it's not over until Sunday! I still have faith. ^_^

Aren't physicals still the bigger seller for albums??

 

Anyway I'm on the frontline so I know what is happening on the physical front :P I'd have to say Cheryl nipped it today where I work, (excluding my 2 copies), so if you multiply that by 200 odd, and the fact Newcastle will sell tons more Cheryl because of the signing and location, I still have optimism on my side!

 

And oh yeah! My super deluxe arrived today :D

 

You may be in the wrong frontline :lol: since Justin Bieber is selling more physical copies than Cheryl.

 

One question, do you know if the charts published by HMV, Amazon, Play are about people purchasing online or throughout all the stores + online?

 

Some guy wrote on some site that Cheryl sold 137 k copies of her album, and other guy on that site wrote that Cheryl is #2, so I think we should all chill down and wait for more reliable sources.

 

 

Northumberland Street in Newcastle was lined with thousands of Cheryl Cole super-fans this morning (TUES), all eagerly queuing for the chance to meet the star at her album signing at HMV tonight.

Sat on Northumberland Street now! How my bum is becoming numb.

 

I think we'll have to wait until the Official Chart update tomorrow, to know what's really going on!

The album is a lot better than the previous 2 but i think it would be much better if she had a stronger voice

Wtf?

 

Nobody wrote she sold 137k, that was a PREDICTION from someone. Reality is that she's #2 behind Bieber by 3,500 copies.

 

Why can you not accept it?

A million lights the song and all is fair are both stunning, great improvement on her ballads on this album. The start of one thousand sounds so much like beyonces run the world when I listen to the chorus of that song all I can imagine is Cheryl doing the weird twitchy chicken dance beyonce does at the start of the video :)

Cheryl had a mega signing today at Newcastle right...even if all those people did not get to go the signing i persume some ended up buying the album anyway...

itunes will push her over 10k for day one. i think mids tommorrow will show her at 18k-22k at number 2 with bieber at 24-28k. He's beating her on all online sites right now. BLAME TEENAGE GIRLS they are insane, they have made 1D insanely huge and let The wanted and JLS get away with releasing substandard music still going to number 1. It's the teenage girls that have done this again.

 

9k for her for day one ain't great.

By a general estimate you always do MAXIMUM four times the tuesday figure...

so last week she sold 40k day one, so 4x40 = 160k, so she did 152k

 

She won't be able to push more than 40k this week...with 9k day one.

 

Oh why didn't she just release later in the year like September and the aloud and Cheryl record could have sold together.

I know the reunion but this is awful sales for her...

 

Bieber....go away! this is not the states - this is just another market to him, to cheryl and fans this is home. I hope he doesn't get it.

the album market is so awful right now, probably better to sell a few weeks later.

 

I don't think the 11.99 deluxe thing is helping her, people see that and go i'll buy it when it's reduced. they where probably banking on mega fans buying it three times but it was poor choice i've thought it since also it makes her album seem less good with more filler added in. her standard album is much better.

People dont look arounf for the 8.99 version or presume there isn't one and voila she's lost a sale.

 

She'd be lucky to do 50k in the week she'll do 40 summit i think. Not great for cheryl...

I want another number 1 album!

I thought Cheryl's last two albums were good, but after listening to this a few times it's like a different league. I don't think the album is as "hit packed" as the other two (though it still has enough options), but I'm so pleased she seems to have found herself as a solo artist here. This dubstep-tinged urban angry Cheryl is the sort of artist I wanted her to be as soon as I heard she was doing a solo album. Even the ballads are a lot more listenable on this album.

 

My favourites are "Love Killer", "Screw You", "Girl In The Mirror" (she reminds me of Katy B on this one) and obviously "Call My Name". "Sexy Den A Mutha" is also a lot better than the title suggests. The production on this album is a lot more imaginative and interesting, it has a cohesive sound. I can't wait to see her on tour!

 

I don't suppose anyone could point me in the direction of the Super Deluxe tracks?

Cheryl is #1 in HMV, Tesco and Asda... the problem is that she's only top 20 in Play.com and Amazon.uk

 

If the album can be around for long then it's better than a good first week and falling like it happened to MLR. We'll see what has happened in 2-3 months.

Carlos, you're boring me and everyone else with your forcing of opinions on everyone as if they are fact. Could you please tone it down a little and respect the other members?

What opinion?

 

Where do you see an opinion in my last post?

Still in a daze after las tnight :heart: Got tagged by Sky on my way out too :lol: :D

In love with 'Mechanics of the Heart' :wub:

:blink: I have no idea why you can't accept FACT that some data are missing.

 

And based on this:

Jun 18 2012, 09:58 AM

1. Cheryl Cole - A Million Lights (Deluxe)

6. Justin Bieber - Believe (Deluxe)

10. Cheryl Cole - A Million Lights

28. Carrie Underwood - Blown Away

79. Carrie Underwood - Blown Away (Deluxe)

 

No sign of the regular edition of Believe in the top 100.

 

It's hard to believe that Bieber sold more than Cheryl on Itunes.

It's really not the end of the world if Cheryl doesn't make #1 you know. To have a third solo album go Top 2 would be almost as amazing (although I do admit that her best album so far missing out when the previous two didn't would be frustrating, but it's not the be all and end all.) People should just be happy that her third era is looking like it's going to be a success when these things are never guaranteed.

I absolutely agree with you

I agree. I get the feeling it'll peak later in the year too. I do think it'll go to number 1 at some point. Whether it'll be the slowest sales week of the year, so be it.
