The SHM song has been top 20/30 on pre-orders for a couple of weeks now, it's going to be at least as big as 'Feel The Love' in its first week if not bigger as they're a more established name than Rudimental. (Also the fact that it's their last single). I think it's their second weakest single besides 'Save The World' but all 6 of their singles have been great.

What's a 'middle 8' anyway?

 

People usually refer to it as the "bridge".

 

Adele up to #29.

Very happy with Ellie going top 5, hopefully she can stay there all week.

I don't really mind who gets the top spot, I like Rihanna's single but for once I don't mind 1D either. Although it'd be a laugh if they can't make it to number 1 with their comeback single :lol:

I thought pre-orders we *usually* factored stright into the iTunes chart? :unsure:

 

No, not when it's an EP that's being pre-ordered. If it's a single then it goes straight to the singles chart, if it's an EP it goes to the album chart and the individual song will have to climb up itself.

So One Direction will have the #1 UK album comes Sunday?

 

 

I did a little googling, found this:

 

In the United Kingdom, any record with more than four distinct tracks or with a playing time of more than 25 minutes is classified as an album for sales-chart purposes

 

 

 

what chart will the EP chart?

 

Single? No

Album? No

The EP's sales will be included in the singles chart on Sunday. It's pretty much the digital form of a Maxi-Single I guess? (Though iTunes include it in their albums chart...)

When Leona's "Hurt" EP charted, it was on the singles chart, so...

1.0000 Rihanna

0.8500 One Direction

0.8000 PSY

LWWY down to 2 in the albums chart... but I can't Believe Muse is only 3-4 in the album chart while M&S is 1 and 5! Muse is gonna lose :( I love M&S but the Muse album is much better and they already been number 1!

The important thing is that the EP is falling...

When Leona's "Hurt" EP charted, it was on the singles chart, so...

On iTunes singles chart? There was only 3 tracks on it, so maybe it was classed as a single, but labelled differently? It's like when physical EP's used to be released, some only had a couple of tracks (take Feeder's - Just A Day), so charted as singles, and some were long enough to chart in the albums chart...

Yes, but not on iTunes. iTunes put the EPs to the album chart, but that doesn't mean it will chart in the albums officially.

 

It's simple why: iTunes doesn't have a singles chart, it has a "songs" chart. And wether an EP contains 2 tracks or 8 tracks it doesn't matter, it goes to the iTunes album chart. ;)

How much could the EP add to the 1D song????

 

Do you guys think Rihanna has a real chance?

30-50K in that case? they broken every record when it was up to pre orders, right? So I guess she doesn't stand a chance...

The EP wasn't on the songs chart on iTunes, only the song called Hurt was. ;)

Sorry, I meant, it charted in the official top 75 singles chart, not the album chart. Of course it wouldn't chart in the iTunes singles chart, only separate songs could.

The EP wasn't on the songs chart on iTunes, only the song called Hurt was, dannjohn3 is wrong. ;)

In which case, my last post can be swiftly forgotten, and I direct you all to my previous post! :lol:

It's OK, but some didn't know actually what happens to the Eps on iTunes, so I hope I could clarify it for all (who didn't know) ;)

It's about time iTunes did a pop-bar chart for the albums/EPs so we could obsess over that as well ! :D

and how on earth can Rihanna not sell more than 30K more than 1D??? when 1D is already on the fall?

 

Anyway.... those preorder sales were counted for the song the first day right?
