Realistically, this is probably now a #26 smash at best. :( Shame, I do actually like it a lot.

If there was an option lower than top 75 I'd have chosen it, if the song really does get its official release next week then it's going to do absolutely nothing. Disastrously handled single.

Can we agree to rename it Beautiful 'Cause You're Ugly

i voted top 10. i think maybe #9

While i would love to vote top 5 i have voted top 40, i just feel this is going to be by far their worst performing singles, although i would gladly love to be 100% wrong.

I voted TOP 75, as if it charts 75 or higher I will be right as it will be in the top 75 :P

I am getting worse & worse at predictions...

 

All the stuff I think is utter crap zooms into the T5, and everything I love tends to bomb... :rolleyes:

 

T20 for this, but probably not a first week peak.

Want : top 5 [beautiful 'Cause You Love Me >>>> Something New]

Will be : top 20

 

 

I'm predicting a Top 20 at least. It won't do better than "Something New" that's for sure.

One Direction have had five consecutive top ten hits out of five though. :lol: But yeah, I totally see your point. BCYLM deserves at least top 5 but top 20 will be a struggle. :(

 

Not correct. One Direction's fourth single "More Than This" only reached no. 86...

are there mixes & a physical?

 

They should release with an "album only" b-side to encourage those with TEN to get it.

It seems there is no physical release - If there is then it's not mentioned on their website or listed as a pre-order on HMV

Their management are terrible :( they are never given enough promotion.. Such a shame as it's a beautiful song :snif:

This must be their first single - even first Girls Aloud related single - not be given a physical release! :o Unless a digital bundle EP or whatever is released on the 17 December, and physical in the new year? Then again, all official release formats are normally released the same week when it comes to Girls Aloud, I'm sure.

Yes they always release digital bundles/physical formats in the same week to maximize sales in the first week - Also the GA stans seem happy to multi buy 100s of copies of the physical not so sure they will be as keen to do the same for downloads.

 

The only chance GA have of getting this into the Top 10 is if they print up 1000's of physicals and flood HMV with copies so that if they do go to the wall they will be sold off at 10p each :lol:

Well, it's way down iTunes top 200 right now so it's looking very unlikely to be even a top 40 hit. Shame though as I much prefer this to 'Something New'.

It will chart between #30 and #40.

So they didn't perform it on either of the promotional slots, Live Lounge and Graham Norton.

 

It doesn't have it's own artwork or single release, EP. Hmmm, maybe this isn't a proper singe after all.

It's not being released until January apparently... The radio impact is Monday.

There's no artwork, iTunes or info on their site to suggest it being released tomorrow.

Hopefully it'll do well in the new year then!

I just think it isn't a very good song.

 

1. GA are never at their best when doing ballads. Stand By Me was terrible. Whole Lotta History was bad. See The Day and Life Got Cold were average. Call The Shots was incredible, but not a ballad in the same way that this is.

 

2. There is no Nadine on the track at all. I think every other girl gets a solo. Denying your best vocalist the chance to sing on a vocals driven song beggars belief. Especially when you only have 2 good vocalists.

 

3. Nicola has a lovely voice. But this song sounds like second rate stuff that didn't make her album.

 

4. The chorus is woeful. It is so staccato, it does not flow at all.

 

I just think it doesn't deserve to chart very highly. One of the weakest songs in their back catalogue.
