Glow is losing spins like crazy. Time to move onto single number 3 me thinks, which it seems like they're doing, since she's prepping the video. :)

WW sales: @EllaHenderson, Chapter One 55,000 (debut).

 

So it did 12,000 outside of the UK. Not bad.

Does anyone have any guesses as to why Glow didn't receive as much airplay as Ghost? Ghost was number 1, Glow top 25... Is airplay determined by sales, itunes, hype, etc?

 

I'm sorry if I come off as annoying, this is my first time following an era in the UK. :)

Another question, lol.

 

Will Ella's third single, whatever it may be, be released in the same fashion as the first two and be up for pre-order or will it just have the album version to chart off of? Which means it will probably need a performance to peak high, no?

Err Glow reached UK #7.

 

There isnt a formula for getting airplay, otherwise everyone would use it! Ghost is a great song, that probably helps.

It will be "Empire", it was played on Strictly during one of the VT's last night :)

 

 

Glorious album by the way :heart:

There was so much hype about Ella releasing stuff + she had more time (in my opinion) to promote Ghost, I guess.

She didn't promote glow as much and ghost overshadowed it as it's still pretty successful at the moment in terms of airplay. A top 25 hit doesn't guarantee airplay Unfortunatley :( For example Disco Love by the sats went #5 but didn't improve anything airplay-wise

Unless she starts releasing tracks that make the top 40 one week and drop out the next, I honestly wouldn't worry about her success, Mirror Man :lol:

Sorry for the confusion. I know Glow went to number 7 on the official charts. I was saying I had saw that it was top 25 in "airplay" ...

What does this mean?

Would someone mind posting the sales and chart positions for Chapter One and Glow in here when they get posted? I'm off to work so it would be lovely to see them when I get home! Thanks :)

In the car for a few hours today listening to Chapter One --- new favourite Giants!

 

Wouldnt object to that be a single either ;)

Empire has to be the next single, it is stunning :wub: I think a live performance of it would be magical.

Any sales for Chapter 1 or Glow? :)

Ella doing her first US promo for Ghost this week on 'Dancing with the Stars' tonight!

Halloween special, Ghost yeah we geddit.

Any sales for Chapter 1 or Glow? :)

 

16k for chapter one, not sure about Glow but probably around the same

Exactly. A large part of why 'Glow' didn't do anywhere near as well as 'Ghost' is simply because the latter is an obvious smash in every sense of the word (incredibly catchy, instant, radio-friendly etc.) I sometimes think that's overlooked when people are analysing Ella's chart success/prospects.

Yup! Glow was 'a grower' that doesnt really cut it on radio these days! Empire I think is more instant and stands a much better chance.
