May 3, 201312 yr Great sales for both number ones so far - Rudimental looking at 60k+ with Home, great result for a dance album.
May 3, 201312 yr It's always interesting to see how songs become popular in Europe yet fail to have similar success in the UK. Makes me think of Amy MacDonald 'This Is The Life' which was such a big hit across Europe yet I don't think it even made the top 20 in the UK. Mattafix 'Big City Life' was another Brit hit across Europe but not quite in the UK itself. Implying that Passenger isn't doing well? :unsure: Even if he fails to hit #1 he's going to be in the top 10 for months and end up high in the year end chart I think. It's depressing that Passenger and Goo Goo Dolls are still top 40 :/ 'Still'? Passenger will be on a whopping two weeks in the top 40 come Sunday and Goo Goo Dolls have just been boosted by a BGT performance and will drop out again within a couple of weeks, it's not exactly as if it's been continuously top 40 since release :huh: -x- Daft Punk still significantly ahead of their own progress last week, it looks like they'll beat Cheryl Cole's one-week sales with ease now and could even come close to 170k. It'll require massive weekend sales of course but it achieved that last week so I don't see any reason it won't again this week! And wow at Rudimental's album sales, I wasn't expecting them to get to 50k for the full week let alone the Friday mids :o Should do around 70k maybe! 'Feel The LOve' back in the top 30 is brilliant to see too :D Edited May 3, 201312 yr by Daft Bré
May 3, 201312 yr That's insane for Daft Punk but well deserved as the song is brilliant. So we can expect a surge in interest in late 70's disco songs then - given that that is what this Daft Punk song sounds like to me... Edited May 3, 201312 yr by vidcapper
May 3, 201312 yr So we can expect a surge in interest in late 70's disco songs then - given that that is what this Daft Punk song sounds like to me... Are you being serious? No old late 70s' disco songs will rise because of that.
May 3, 201312 yr I think Get Lucky will be the year end #1 of 2013. Could do but there's 7 months remaining so I wouldn't be sure of that just yet.
May 3, 201312 yr At the rate it's doing 'Get Lucky' might easily get to 600k once it *only* falls from #1! And there will go a looong looong trip to the end of the top-10.
May 3, 201312 yr what new album(s) being released Sunday are expected to hit #1 next week? You might like to check out the new releases thread :D
May 4, 201312 yr Could do but there's 7 months remaining so I wouldn't be sure of that just yet. True, but realistically the release would have to be by August/September or there wouldn't be enough time to amass 1m+ sales.
May 4, 201312 yr True, but realistically the release would have to be by August/September or there wouldn't be enough time to amass 1m+ sales. James Arthur says HI. But realistically you're right, I can't see this years winner or xmas charity single passing a million at all, let alone in 3 weeks.
May 4, 201312 yr Are you being serious? No old late 70s' disco songs will rise because of that. How do you know? Things like that have happened in the past. For example, Ciara and Chris Brown had their breakthrough hits with clones of Yeah! by Usher (and the producers openly admitted it at the time). When record labels see a song being massive they see there's a market for that and try and cash in on it. James Arthur says HI. But realistically you're right, I can't see this years winner or xmas charity single passing a million at all, let alone in 3 weeks. Yeah, pretty much the only way a song so late in the year can get year-end #1 is if it's an X Factor or campaign song or something, especially in the digital age where songs from earlier in the year are trickle-selling the whole time.

When record labels see a song being massive they see there's a market for that and try and cash in on it. It doesn't mean that the song that was influenced by it would rise up the iTunes chart. No one thinks like that, no one feels the urge to download a song because there might be an influence of that song in another song!
May 4, 201312 yr I'd love to see Daft Punk's Discovery starting to sell on the back of this current success.
May 4, 201312 yr James Arthur says HI. But realistically you're right, I can't see this years winner or xmas charity single passing a million at all, let alone in 3 weeks. Although James Arthur didn't sell a million by year end. Impossible sold 897k.
May 4, 201312 yr I'd love to see Daft Punk's Discovery starting to sell on the back of this current success. It has been already? #23 this week
