iTunes Weekly Thread: W/C 30th December 2012

Meh I thought that's how values are scaled.

It is. Will's selling around 15% more than James on iTunes combined (based on James being 100%), whereas James is 'only' selling around 87% of Will.

Therefore - if James is sold 10,000 in the period, Will would have sold ~11,500.

Imagine if a track has its release date brought forward to tomorrow and ends up outselling 'S&S' next week. 'S&S' - NU 'Moves Like Jagger' only without the 1 million + sales.

Actually Rihanna 'Stay' is on the release schedule as being released tomorrow. Does that mean a single version, or 'Stay EP' is getting released? Maybe 'Not A Saint' will benefit from what looks set to be a low sales week.

Where is Rihanna's video for Stay? I guess it's doing amazingly without it like Diamonds was, so with a video this song is going to have huge longevity similar to Diamonds. :wub: Amazing for Rihanna, two huge hit songs and both ballads, genuinely believe only Rihanna could do that right now. (or Adele :P)

That's exactly what I thought :)

It's already sold almost 400k in 4 weeks and it's still at #1 on iTunes. Could still be a million seller yet! :P

Loving the 59p boost ('Chasing Cars' ASIDE but I've given up on iTunes ever letting that one go, can't have it all). Mostly the same songs as ever but it's all the good ones. 'Niggas In Paris', 'Paradise', 'Mr. Brightside' (FINALLY coming for top 40? Or will it peak at #47 again like it did twice last year :P), 'Gold Digger', 'Use Somebody', 'No Diggity', 'Lose Yourself', 'Sex On Fire', 'The Man Who Can't Be Moved', 'Jump Around', 'You've Got The Love' :wub: Would love to see both of the KOL songs back in the top 100 officially so they're each charting for a 6th year in a row :P

Calvin and Haim to both break into the top 10 very soon please! (Calvin is now falling again but Haim at #12 :o They're probably close to peaking though, Sound of 2013 boost can't last forever and I doubt it has enough support to stay that high much longer though top 20 officially next week should hopefully be safe).

Haim are now up to #11, with Calvin at #13! :o I'd love for "Don't Save Me" to replace "Try" in the top ten - the latter was great about 3/4 months ago, I can barely stand it now :( Ugh at Pitbull looking likely to go top 10 officially with "Don't Stop the Party", it's good in context of when it should be played, but it should never be payed for.

#2 Impossible 87.5%

Like I said... it will be 600-700 copies difference...

I'm not the biggest fan of the HAIM song (I wish they were called HIAM :kink: )

January 5, 201312 yr

Do we reckon it was too late in the week for Haim to crack the T40 officially? They were up to #29 by midday yesterday and now as high as #12; I'm hoping they can sneak in this week and then climb into the T20 next week - they're the music talking point of the weekend.
