Things are starting to look great! ... One week before the god damn release, but still! #36 on the rolling airplay! It's climbing on pre-orders too. Good, good, good. :)

Yeah, top 10 seems to be on the horizon, the only thing I'm worried about is the song dropping in typical Saturdays' fashion!

Oh, it will.

 

The second the first week is over, radios will stop playing it because OBVIOUSLY a #2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10 is not worth of airplay. :rolleyes:

I'm still not convinced this will make top 10. :(

 

It's bound to get to #9 on iTunes and then fall to oblivion :(

I really think this will either be a big hit or bomb worse than 30 Days (but do better than My Heart Takes Over).

It honestly hurts me that 'My Heart Takes Over' missed the top 10 and bombed badly, the song is fantastic.

Debuted at 37 in the Airplay top 50 and up to 21 in the TV airplay

That's great news!

 

Now tell me, how is it that the video they made for the Alias remix is 10x better and less cheap looking than the original version?

To be honest, it's the same with a PSD added on and some textures. It just looks like a really long gif.

 

I think the song ends a lot more well with Frankie's "huh" than with Fruna's "1999!!!".

Anyone seen the promo for Gentleman?

 

TERRIBLE...Radio Bloody 2!!!!

Radio 2 is the most listened to radio station in the country!

The promo list is shockingly poor.

 

Thursday June 27 – BBC Radio 2: Steve Wright In The Afternoon with Patrick Kielty

Friday June 28 – Performance on This Morning, ITV

Monday July 1 – Performance on Daybreak, ITV

Tuesday July 2 – Sats Google+ Hangout

Wednesday July 3 – Mollie and Vanessa chatting on Let’s Do Lunch, ITV

 

This is it, apparently. I see we've gone back to being basic.

it's so dismal!!! :(

BUT Radio 2's listeners are not the demographic that will buy Gentleman!

Really? I think the editing looks a lot less choppy in this version and I think the effects help mask the cheapness of the green screens.

They won't play The Saturdays a lot, first. Secondly, doing interviews for Radio 1 and Capital would be a lot more effective as they are seen as "commercial" radios AND people who could buy Gentleman usually turn to these kind of radios.

 

I want a radio tour. Now.

But why does it matter? Radio 1 and Capital already have the song playlisted already..

At least they're doing promo.. It doesn't matter how much promo they do, it still wouldn't be enough for some people.

Plus, doing loads of promo doesn't equate to a massive hit.. See: Missing You

- It matters because their airplay isn't great yet and they have yet to be A-listed on Radio 1. Going there would definitely push them to do it. And if it's for a matter of "playlisting", Radio 2 won't playlist them either, so I can ask you, why does it matter? :unsure:

 

- That's not it, though. They are doing even less promo than they usually do. Look at the promo thread. They usually do 2-3 morning TV-show and one late night TV-show with a couple of radio interviews for Kiss, Capital and Radio 1. It's lacking their usual "big" (by their standard) performance. As I said in the other thread, I don't blame the girls or anything because it's a matter of "What can we book at this time of year?" and "Can we really book it?" and the girls can't control these kind of things, but that doesn't mean we can state the truth and the facts : the promo is weak. So what if other artists don't even have this kind of promo? It just means their promo is even weaker, but it doesn't change the fact that the promo of the girls right now is weak. That's my point.

 

- But Missing You is a shit song with no general appeal at all, I've always said that. I've never understood the love for it. The What About Us promo wasn't exacly the best, but they did tons of interview about Chasing The Saturdays which built hype for the single, they did that Youtube/Vevo thingy...Everything they did for the US actually helped them in the UK. And it did equate in a massive hit. It's now their best selling single.

up to 38 on rolling airplay :D

 

So it was #38 this Saturday.

Then #37 this Sunday.

#36 Monday

 

And now it's #33! It's climbing slowly, but surely. I really hope they visit some more radios during the week. You don't exactly book these things 5-7 days before. It's more like 1-2 days so there's still hope they add some other radio dates. Fingers crossed.

 

Plus with them being possibly added to Radio 1'S A-list, their airplay could go up a bit more again. I really hope they can manage to have a top 20 on airplay at least.

Whatever, as long as the promo for the album is massive, I don't care.
