Oh God, the Glee version of 'Shake It Out' is going to outpeak the original isn't it? :(

On the plus side at least the original is getting a good boost? #57 on iTunes. Hopefully Ceremonials gets something of a boost too.

Of course :( Obviously I am a massive Gleek (it's probably my favourite TV show ever) but I love the original SO much and I'm disappointed in their rendition. It's good, but I wanted a Tina solo (that means nothing if you don't watch it :lol:) as rumoured, I just don't like the acoustic arrangement either. And Mercedes' voice doesn't suit the song really as Tina and Santana's do.

I suppose that's a good thing. Shame it can only re-enter the Hot 100 now if it somehow does well enough to be in the top 50, until then it'll be stuck with its #72 peak and 20 chart weeks.

 

'Scream' isn't off to a much better start than 'Climax', only #33 so far. I haven't heard it yet but based on others' reactions it's a bit of a pointless change when 'Climax' was one of his best ever, if not the best (and it didn't do THAT badly).

 

Skrillex/Damian "Jr. Gong" Marley are at #32, could become Skrillex's highest peaker (previously got to #69 with 'Scary Monsters And Nice Sprites').

Over on the Digital Songs chart, Gotye's "Somebody That I Used to Know" (featuring Kimbra) retakes the No. 1 slot, rising one position with 414,000 downloads (down 11%). Last week's No. 1, Maroon 5's "Payphone" featuring Wiz Khalifa, falls to No. 2 with 330,000 (down 33%).

 

Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe" hits a new high, rising 5-3 with 221,000 (up less than 1%) while fun.'s "We Are Young" (featuring Janelle Monae) falls 3-4 with 207,000 (down 18%).

 

Justin Bieber's "Boyfriend" moves 4-5 (192,000; down 18%) while Khalifa's new "Work Hard, Play Hard" debuts at No. 6 (172,000). One Direction's "What Makes You Beautiful" is down 6-7 (170,000; down 13%), Flo Rida's "Wild Ones" (featuring Sia) goes 7-8 (152,000; down 10%), and Minaj's "Starships" drops 8-9 (151,000; down 1%). The Wanted's "Glad You Came" closes out the top 10 by falling one slot to No. 10 (143,000, down 3%).

How many other songs have had three weeks of over 400k sales? :D

 

EDIT: The Hot 100 report has answered this for me - none at all, Gotye is the first to do more than 2 (Right Round, Grenade and Born This Way all did it twice) :D

http://www.dingsme.info/avatar10.jpgOh yeah because of the combined versions.

The combined versions has nothing to do with it. The Glee version is charted separately I believe.

Thank God Glee's version looks set to outperform the shrieky and warbly original of 'Shake It Out'. I love their version of the song so much and they've done it twice. (Made me like Florence & The Machine songs.)

It's a shame "Shake it out" never took off, i was praying for it to do a "Rolling In The Deep" but it never happened :(

 

I don't really like the Glee version either, I stopped watching it this series and not really missed it. The a-capella version of "How Will I Know" was great though.

Shake it out would be good if someone else sang it.

Is that a Carried Underwood album track at #11!? :o

Yeah, it was performed on American Idol last night apparently.

It was, it's also her next single, best be huge :D

 

The best singer of all time SLAYING as per :smoke:

Toby please just shut up with your constant posts in an attempt to get your post count up.

Huh, B.o.B and Taylor seem to have stalled at #4. Taylor's obsessive stans clearly aren't ALL obsessive enough to download an album track by another artist that features her then. Just most of them.

^ I saw the B.o.B/Taylor song at #3 earlier, so I guess it's falling now. I suppose some of her fans might not like the song since it's a rap song.

 

She's got a collab with Justin Bieber soon I heard, so I'm pretty sure THAT is going to #1 on iTunes! :lol:

I must be in the minority, but I absolutely love 'Shake It Out'. But I agree, the vocals are a bit al over the place. I prefer it live. :heart:

He does spam a lot, but that post actually had substance?

Yes Glee actually made that song sound good.

I think Shake it out is Amazing, I don't thing its really that all over the place

Its more to the point that every time florence is mentioned he's negative, its just pointless.
