AlunaGeorge are releasing their new single on the 10th March called Attracting Flies. It had its radio premiere on Zane Lowe's show and it's the hottest record. Such a brilliant track, just like every single other track they have released/done. :wub:

I don't know what the fuss about the length of Mirrors is. Justin (and many other artists) have had hits with songs of that length before.

Agree. It's too long a song for me to download but if there was a radio edit I would. Hopefully one will just be added soon. :)

Why don't you just buy it and edit it down? There are some good free editing programmes available for you to download to chop the last 3 mins of Justin's new song. It's easy ;)

NO! the first RED update for JT that Pompeii are gain on him today... another 3% :(

The EP has FINALLY down to 3 on ALBUM chart... maybe that's Y the single is increasing.

Mirrors live from the BRITs - 115.

Because Bastille are slaying the competition, and soon to be slaying JT when they knock him off the #1 spot with their 3% gains each update. People love Bastille and Pomeii and seem to hate Mirrors now that his Brit Awards performance has worn off so that is why Mirrors is now in red while Pompeii is in green. You should watch out because Bastille's Bad Blood album is being released on the 4th March and Justin's The 20/20 Experience is released 2 weeks after, Bastille might block Justin from getting the #1 album too if just a 5 track EP which is for £1.49 is staying at #1 soooooo long. :teresa: :teresa:

If people seem to hate Mirrors then why is it #1 on iTunes :huh: And Justin will definitely be #1 on the albums chart, especially if it's released 2 weeks after Bastille like you say. I'll be very surprised if Bastille last 2 weeks at #1 - let alone a 3rd and blocking Justin from #1 at the same time.

mmm... What? :P

I don't worry about the album but I guess you were... sarcastic?

This is how all releases should be handled imo. It's better than the instant on air on sale because at least there is some build up of airplay and hype but it is only being held back for just over a week (+it will be released at the start of the sales tracking week.)

Lol, so technically it isn't a On air/On sale but still... :P

I don't think they'll even get to #1 tbh. I'm not sure how well Stereophonics usually do when it comes to album sales but I can see them blocking Bastille. I have no idea when it comes to Dido either; has she still got a fan base?

Oh come on Daniel, surely your sarcasm detection can't be that awful.

'Semi-OA/OS' (holding back for a few days or one and a half weeks or so and releasing on a Sunday) is probably the most effective release strategy for pop acts. Paramore have proven though that for rock acts just straight OA/OS is by far the best path.

Yeah they played it once, that song cracks me up. "Small girl, you don't know the ting. I am teaching you the ting, you are playing with the ting" :lol:

lol. It's the best summer anthem ever. It reminds me of Turn Me On by Kevin Lyttle.
