I wasn't followng iTunes at the time but when Michael Jackson died how high did his songs get on the iTunes chart? and was it straight away in the night/early hours of the day when it happened?

Mirrors now up to number 2 (now back at 3)

I wasn't followng iTunes at the time but when Michael Jackson died how high did his songs get on the iTunes chart? and was it straight away in the night/early hours of the day when it happened?

 

'Man In The Mirror' was #1 on iTunes but since MJ passed near the end of the week, his sales were spread over two weeks and therefore didn't reach as high as they could've done otherwise.

kobbar DISAPPROVES

Top 4 combined:

 

01 1.2714 Pink - Just Give Me a Reason (feat. Nate Ruess)

02 1.0387 The Saturdays - What About Us (feat. Sean Paul)

03 1.0000 PJ & Duncan - Let's Get Ready To Rhumble

04 0.9376 Justin Timberlake - Mirrors

 

Hopefully Mirrors or What About Us can knock PJ & Duncan off the #1 soon; that could mean Pink really pulls away combined when they lose the #1 effect!

JGMAR will be number 1 for sure.

The trouble is that she is doing about 10-12K per day in total so even her current lead only equates to catching up by around 3K per day. It could be close, but there will probably be a plug on Ant and Dec's show which will seal the deal.

It will be close but at this stage, with Pink nearing a 30% combined lead over PJ&D it all depends on how many more singles Pink is selling ahead of PJ&D and whether that'll be enough to overturn the 10k deficit that it faces.

I genuinely have no idea who will be number #1 for Sunday, I really really hope it will be Pink though! Her first #1 since 'So What' with a second post-album single would be pretty impressive!

While it's pretty exciting when an old song re-enters and does this well, I do not want PJ & Duncan getting the number 1, it will just look ridiculous on the list of 2013 number ones... Not to mention it'll most likely be out of the top 40 within about a month! Also, Just Give Me A Reason is a well deserved number 1 that will stick around for ages, no doubt!

 

This having multiple versions of songs high up on iTunes is getting annoying lately, it makes it impossible for iTunes to give a good measure - by the end of tomorrow, Justin Timberlake will most likely be back at number 1, and yet only be at number 4 on Sunday's chart for sure!

I'm patiently waiting for Richard Griffiths' death effect.

A quick google suggests he was an actor, and polyhex tells me he hasn't had any top 75 hits :unsure:

What About Us has overtook Mirrors again.

 

Be interesting to see which of these two songs can get a benefit from the #1 effect before Sunday's new releases.

That was the joke.

1.2816 for p!nk now.

 

She just keeps rising :wub:

How close are The Sats (or whoever are #2) from overtaking PJ&D? (I'm talking about "uncombined")

2 Justin Timberlake - Mirrors 0.9576

 

PJ & Duncan to lose the #1 effect in probably a couple of hours max :( I hope they do get a last minute boost from Ant & Dec tomorrow.

As fantastic as it is to see Pink slaying, I think it may be just a tad late. Anyway, she's had 3 no.1s already (deserves more) and Ant and Dec never had one so its probably for the best.

:lol:

Scream & Shout back up to #19 combined. Should be even higher tomorrow with the weekend effect kicking in.
