December 16, 201114 yr Isn't 'Admin-like'?! I have an opinion as much as the next person. I still do not understand your point AT ALL about Leona - clearly the performance was a success as the song will (most probably) be top 10 this week :huh: There are ways of putting your opinion across, it's not very mature and it was actually without basis. Anyway moving on... of course she's top 10, she performed on the XF Final. That doesn't mean to say that it wasn't a wasted opportunity. Leona's career is on a downward trajectory because she's been mishandled since her debut album. She needed to sing a song that was gonna bring her back into the public consciousness with a bang. She has a new album coming out next year, she should have done a song from that. Yet instead she's promoting an EP of covers, with a very familiar type of performance we've seen from her in the past. This is an artist held up as the biggest star to ever come from the XF, she should be churning out number 1's or in weeks like this week selling over 100k copies and easily getting number 2. She's had an XF final and Royal variety performance this week and trailing back in 4th in the chart is success for Leona Lewis? Nah. Don't think so.
December 16, 201114 yr I don't think people care if it's released this week or next week... the same amount of people will buy it if they're interested, being released a week before other years is insignificant. True story :)
December 16, 201114 yr I had actually forgotten how much it snowed this time last year - did it really affect his sales? There were reports that many shops didnt get stock or got them late which probably explains why he got fairly high sales in his second week too. So if we are going to compare then it makes sense to do so with Matt's first two weeks in comparison with the Little Mix sales over a fortnight. Dont like either song anyway.

'Trailing back in 4th?' :wacko: I think you have the positions muddled up, i'd understand if that was *40th but shes as HIGH as 4th. Thats pretty impressive with two TV performances and without the biggest promo of all radio & tv play. This is only an EP for xmas, the album is coming end of March, the EP has been a great idea, she's gained another top 10 hit with it and given her fans 3 new songs, she's only gained from this. :D Question is has Pixie Lott's album had any sort of rise, she's had great promo this week, text santa, royal variety, this morning..the album is doing terribly.

December 16, 201114 yr Quite a tumble for Rebecca in the albums chart since yesterday's update, sales must be tight between 8 and 13.
December 16, 201114 yr Friday Update Top 40 Only Singles Top 10 10 Mariah Carey Top 15 13 The Pogues/Kirsty MacColl What is going on here - Mariah up 1, Pogues down 1, yet the latter seems to be ahead combined on iT now?? :blink:
December 16, 201114 yr is rihanna #5 in the albums, you have adele, then adele in the artist update at 6 as well?
December 16, 201114 yr Take That still firm at number 19, please stay firm for Sunday. Rebecca Ferguson is the only dramatic change in the update and a 10 place drop is quite large when tumbling out of the top 3.
December 16, 201114 yr Mariah back in the top 10? Isn't she like #18 on itunes? Haha Glad Leona is still top 5 will probably drop to #8 by sunday
December 16, 201114 yr Author What is going on here - Mariah up 1, Pogues down 1, yet the latter seems to be ahead combined on iT now?? :blink: That's correct is rihanna #5 in the albums, you have adele, then adele in the artist update at 6 as well? Sorted, just forgot to change the name over.
December 16, 201114 yr That's correct I wasn't suggesting you had typed it in wrong, just that I couldn't understand the change in positions... :huh:
December 16, 201114 yr I wasn't suggesting you had typed it in wrong, just that I couldn't understand the change in positions... :huh: It doesn't necessarily mean that sales have pulled away though surely?
December 16, 201114 yr Author Quite a tumble for Rebecca in the albums chart since yesterday's update, sales must be tight between 8 and 13. Sorry about that its #8 I wrote its actual position next to it instead of 3 Hey curious to know where the X factor finalists are. Big drop. Brace yourself 15+2
December 16, 201114 yr Brace yourself 15+2 Wow :o That's 10 places lower than the 2010 finalists were on their third week. They do deserve the drop however, it's their worst charity single. Imo it goes like this (charity singles) 2010 >>>>>> 2008 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 2009 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 2011
