Expect an itunes chart bumming of Will I Am the nations hero for writing a song

 

lol. I hope so. :lol: I doubt it will happen though, as it was always fairly known that the BEPs often wrote their own lyrics, so it wouldn't exaclty come as a surprise to people. Not to mention, the vast majority of people really don't care who writes the lyrics to songs.

 

 

WTF is going on?

 

I check the chart this morning, only to a see a long-forgotten minor John Legend hit at #2! :o :o

 

No doubt one of the 'talent' shows is to blame, but I never imagined they could have such a dramatic effect!

Hmmmmmmm. I think that word needs to be changed to "thank". :coffee:

I think that'll be enough for it to get in the top 40 this week? It's still got 3 hours more sales to go aswell, and it's got the top 10 promotion now too.

 

It'd need at least 7.5k to go top 40 this week.

 

Skinny Love up to #70 from #205 15 minutes ago.

 

:cheer: :dance:

Hmmmmmmm. I think that word needs to be changed to "thank". :coffee:

 

I would have said 'thank' if it had been Birdy at #2... ;)

"Primadonna" is available now. I hope it can go top 10, but I'm not too sure.

 

Looks like we could have quite a few new enteries in the top 10 next week.

 

Maxwell to #20.

 

Kate Bush to #22.

 

I've never even heard of this 'Maxwell'?

I would have said 'thank' if it had been Birdy at #2... ;)

 

Birdy going to #2 would've been quite something. :lol:

 

I reckon it could go back in the top 10 one day though. Seeing the boosts it usually gets, all it would take is for it to appear on 3 or 4 high profile TV shows in one night. Knowing the British public, that's actually likely to happen one day. :lol:

 

I'm surprised Jessie J is only #9.

 

162. Lady Antebellum - Need You Now

 

^ I really hate that song, but I think it'll be one of those "classic" songs in the future where people are shocked by how low its chart peak is (although if you know anything about how the UK responds to that type of music it wasn't really that shocking). Same with Hey, Soul Sister (although I actually like that song).

Need You Now :wub:

 

I've never even heard of this 'Maxwell'?

He's a black American R&B singer, a bit like Ne-Yo or Usher, but he doesn't do the generic crap, only the soulful stuff.

167. DJ Khaled - All I Do Is Win

193. DJ Khaled - Take It to the Head

 

lol. WTF?! :lol: Anybody know why his song from 2 years ago is selling more than his song released last week? That's always a big sign of a song flopping. :lol:

Birdy going to #2 would've been quite something. :lol:

No it couldn't - if only because it's never *reached* the top 10 (yet).

For those writing We Are Young off already, I think we can compare it to Somebody That I Used To Know. It had quite a lot of a hype surrounding it after its succes in Australia (although not as much as WAY), and after the same amount of time i don't even think STIUTK was even T40 on iTunes. The fact that some unknown band can peak at #2 on iTunes within its first week is frankly remarkable.

This is hardly related but when it was out in Australia, STIUTK had 0 hype, promo or anything, even though it took a few weeks to chart there was still none when it eventually debuted at #30, I think it's chart run was something like 30-7-4-3-3-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1... etc :o Not to fun. will go on to sell 1 million like Gotye, but the fact just a bit of hype from being #1 in America and Australia gets then to #1 is indeed just remarkable, especially with next to no airplay and 0 promo!

Not that it makes much different, but Somebody That I Used to Know was also big in a lot of Europe last year, as that's how I found out about the song.

I definitely remember it going top 10 on iTunes. It was quite soon after it was released.

Yes, it was #10 on iTunes on 12/3/11, but peaked at #17 overall.

 

It's sold ~338.5k in total (80.5k, 2012).

I really never thought Skinny Love would go on to be such a big hit when it got released. :lol:

 

Yeah, Skinny Love missed the top 10 officially. I remember, it only actually peaked at #10 on iTunes, and wasn't there for very long (much like Set Fire to the Rain and Marry the Night).

Primadonna is already in Top 200!! This song needs to be huge!! It has very good melody!! I'm glad for B.O.B too. "So good" makes my mood.."Skinny Love" will be Top 30 for sure the next week!! I recognise her talent and i don't blame her as others in Buzzjack. Birdy is a raw talent!!

74. So Good - B.o.B

75. Can't Say No - Conor Maynard

I thought these would both be a bit higher when I got up - although admittedly I have got up a bit earlier than usual today :P Conor should overtake imminently, good good. Hoping for both of these to go top 5 and Conor for #1 please :D Am I in a minority supporting Conor?

 

139. Silenced By the Night - Keane

Looking at the release schedule, Keane's album is out on a dead week (other major-ish releases from B.o.B, Chris Brown, Cover Drive, The Cribs, Damon Albarn, Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly, King Charles, Ren Harvieu and Richard Hawley) so based on this single doing decently well they should be able to get a fifth debut at #1 in a row fairly easily, matching Coldplay. Their opening sales should beat that of 'Night Train' with this being a proper album rather than just an EP.

 

187. Primadonna - Marina & the Diamonds

Not too bad a start for this, hoping for top 10.

 

-x-

 

19. This Woman's Work (Uncut) - Maxwell

133. This Woman's Work - Maxwell

136. This Woman's Work (Uncut) - Maxwell

Maxwell's personal best so far is #27 (with 'Sumthin' Sumthin'') so unless this plummets by the end of the week it should beat that, essentially just because someone mentioned his name on BGT :lol:

Conor's a Brighton boy so I'll join you in supporting him, it helps that I really like the song :D

192. Estelle - American Boy - It's fantastic to see this song so high up again, and without being 59p this time. :lol: It's an incredible song, Estelle is an incredible artist, not to mention an all round great human being. :)

 

Can't tell if you're taking the p!ss :lol:

 

Wow at Ordinary People, cant believe this peaked at 27 when originally released.

I'm kind of being overly dramatic. :lol: I but I do love that song and Estelle. Her recent album is absolutely brilliant. And she's a cool person too (racism aside :lol:).

I can't believe how well John Legend has done. I think fun. have lost out on a #1 single now, Carly seems too far ahead, she looks pretty safe for a 3rd week at #1. Even Gotye is probably looking safe for another week in the top 5.

 

And the Voice next week is on Saturday and Sunday, it should make an interesting week with a lot of old tracks resurfacing -_-

36. Can't Say No - Conor Maynard

52. So Good - B.o.B

91. Primadonna - Marina & the Diamonds

121. Silenced By the Night - Keane

 

30. Can't Say No - Conor Maynard

45. So Good - B.o.B

77. Primadonna - Marina & the Diamonds

123. Silenced By the Night - Keane

 

That's more like it for Conor and B.o.B :P Marina in the top 100 as well :D

 

EDIT: Keane falling already with the new update?
