07. 1D - Best Song Ever :wub:

Edited July 22, 201312 yr by Lewzy

Why has One Direction been released on a Monday?

I know even if it had been released on Sunday it would have had no chance of beating Avicii but a likely highly frontloaded track like this would normally have a Sunday release to maximise chart position. I guess it doesn't really matter now under these circumstances as it's a cast iron no.2 either way.

So that it matches the release date in America.

Call me cynical but i reckon 1D's team knew they wouldn't manage a #1 this week hence the Monday release date so all the fans could say it had 1 days less sales.

LOL right.... :rolleyes:

I think this is exactly why they did it. If John Newman or Thicke or both get sales boosts from somewhere, they could end up as low as #4 as the Wanted.

#4 Once Direction - Best Song Ever

 

(look at me posting updates in the iTunes thread. I feel immensely dirty)

That might well be their official peak.

Birdy has just unveiled another very TV montage friendly single titled Wings. It sounds fairly similar to Fix You in the way it builds up at the end.

We must have both been listening to R1 :lol:

 

I found it forgettable to be honest, kinda forgot it was playing in the background :/

Songs from 1D's new EP:

 

3. One Direction - Best Song Ever

244. One Direction - Kiss You (Live Version From The Motion Picture "One Direction: This Is Us")

1095. One Direction - Best Song Ever (Kat Krazy Remix)

1096. One Direction - Best Song Ever (Jump Smokers Remix)

 

Looks like they'll definitely go to #2 officially.

 

Surely everyone who's interested in the Nina Nesbitt song (not me) will be buying the EP version like they did last time? So she'll probably be the second highest entry behind 1D, just a question of how far behind.

Wow. The desperation. They released on a Monday the same reason that Justin Timberlake and Drake and Lady Gaga and Kanye West and everybody else's songs get released mid-week.

 

No doubt later in the week I'll have to convince you all yet again that this isn't the end of One Direction's career when it *only* reaches #2 on iTunes. :drama:

I do like some of the One Direction songs, not all of them, but best song ever is one of their weakest releases. It will still manage number 2 on extremely decent sales, so i doubt anyone in the One Direction camp will be in any way concerned.

Wish Matt Carlde + Mel C would rush release their new duet + block 1D from the top 3.

I hope Vickers' This Morning performance can do something for it, but I don't expect so.

Wish Matt Carlde + Mel C would rush release their new duet + block 1D from the top 3.

I like the song, but there's no way it would block 1D from the top 3 (especially as they're going to be number 2, so one song couldn't get them out of the top 3) because neither artist are popular enough. I hope for top 10 but think top 40 at best.
