There is really no hype for Boomerang. I've not heard it on any radio stations at all if I'm honest.

I think "Boomerang" will be lucky to sell 40k next week, tbh.

'Try' was very mid-tempo though and mid-tempo rarely sells a lot in comparison to ballads and up-tempos. JGMAR contains very emotive vocals so I'd say that's probably the main reason why it's doing well.

 

With the other version top 40 too, I can see this being a #5/#6 smash which is probably the best a third Pink single has done.

 

Uh, "Just Like A Pill" hit #1.

Why do I have a horrible feeling that Bastille is going to be the new Justin Timberlake? :(

 

No chance. Different genres. Different markets. There will never be a new Justin Timberlake.

I KNEW I was forgetting something. :lol:

 

Ok, bar that. :P

I think he was talking about who omrimayo's will be looning over for the next week (but i may be wrong :P)

11. Bridgit Mendler - Ready or Not :cheer:

It could still do "better" without hitting #1. Just Like a Pill got #42 in the year-end chart I think, so if this gets year-end top 40 (which many #5/#6 hits have done) it would've done better imo.

Yes. That is the correct answer. :magic:

The Extended Cut of Bastille album is on repeat in the past few hours... this is such an amazing album! OMG!

 

YES. :cheer: :wub:

 

 

not sure why the standard version is higher on pre order on iTunes, £2 extra and you get so much more :wub:

Good point actually.

 

I keep forgetting JLAP even made #1. It looks so odd in her chart history. I always used to think it was 'Get This Party Started' that was a #1. :lol:

Pink still climbing :wub:

'Just Like A Pill' benefitted from a really quiet sales week and only sold 48k to be #1, and there were a lot of weeks where the #1 was selling over 100k (mainly thanks to Will & Gareth from Pop Idol).

 

'Just Give Me A Reason' has probably sold 48k to date yet it's only just hit its peak.

What's with Sarah McLachlan's Angel appearing out of nowhere into the top 40, Dancing on Ice I presume? She along with Jewel deserved so much more UK success than they ever got, at least Sarah piggybacked her way into the top three on Delerium's Silence I guess but still...so many classics unheard by the masses here.

That's an X-Factor winner's single in the making too. :lol:

Yup. Up to #30 now, possible top 40 re-entry this week then along with Fleetwood Mac!

 

Was hoping to see more of an effect on James Vincent McMorrow 'Higher Love' from DOI - it is at #131, #222 and #296 which isn't too bad I guess. Tyler James' version at #425 and the original at #609 also.

 

87. Tonight (Best You Ever Had) [feat. Ludacris] - John Legend

What's this doing in the top 100?

YES!!! So happy for Bridgit!!! :wub: Amazing song!

I'm waiting for the day that Angel gets the big Iris style boost that it's been crying out for for years! I don't expect this will be quite it, it'll probably stall quickly and just about make or miss the top 40 at the end of the week. It's too famous a song to have such a terrible peak, I'd be interested to know what its total sales are because it probably trickle sells incredibly well.

Incidentally 'Iris' is back at #50 itself. This one wasn't on DOI but it was on something on the TV because whatever it was, my parents were watching it :P

 

EDIT: I lied. It was on Dancing On Ice - just didn't see it on Wikipedia as it was a Save Me skate so not in the table.

 

BOOO at Bridgit but it was pretty inevitable it would go top 10. Hoping it'll do a Karmin (or worse).
