October 30, 201311 yr The worst for the album is it hasn't much left to hold it up. The Saturdays are not an act that will stand out in the Chritsmas rush of releases and sales so they will get lost, that said they will muster up sales of around what they will achieve this week but wont be showing on the actual charts. That a side, 4 singles done and dusted doesn't leave much in the way for promo unless they are going with a 6 single release strategy. Initially i did think the album might manage overall sales of 100,000 but now i think it is likely to struggle to sell 50,000.
October 30, 201311 yr If they continue to promote Disco Love/ new single in the coming months, I think it will go gold eventually.
October 30, 201311 yr They need to ideally release 'Not Giving Up' in January, that way the album can stabilise somewhere in the lower regions when the sales are higher while the single is getting rotation without the single getting totally lost over christmas, and hopefully the single can get top 10 around then and the album boost up a bit higher too. That'd be the best thing to do next. Edited October 30, 201311 yr by Silver Rocket

That'd be the best thing to do next. I agree with this. Late January release of Not Giving Up, and a few performances of Disco Love in the mean time so that people remember they still exist, and to keep that single selling a bit (it is a very good song after all).
October 30, 201311 yr I wonder when the inevitable Greatest Hits comes will it sell for them, they really struggle with album sales but do ok with singles, maybe people will buy a greatest hits from them which i really can see getting released next.

I tweeted this earlier. I think 2014 will be the year that the singles collection gets released. I think if they promote it right, and release a good single off it, it could boost their profile somewhat.
October 30, 201311 yr Well they're still stocking this in HMV and Asda (I was in both today) so that's a good sign. On Your Radar was nowhere to be found after it's first week.
October 31, 201311 yr This is the first album of theirs I'm not buying. (Unless it gets reduced to like £3 or something later)
October 31, 201311 yr Well they're still stocking this in HMV and Asda (I was in both today) so that's a good sign. On Your Radar was nowhere to be found after it's first week. OYR was in my local HMVs for weeks afterwards, so it was certainly somewhere to be found!
October 31, 201311 yr OYR was in my local HMVs for weeks afterwards, so it was certainly somewhere to be found! It wasn't in the big one in Glasgow. When it was first released, there was literally about six cases at the bottom of a small shelf in the middle of the store and then when I went back in a few weeks later I had a search to see if they were still being stocked and I couldn't find it anywhere. It was the same in Asda and stuff. Living For The Weekend is actually still high up on the shelves alongside the big names which is what I'm surprised about considering it's chart performance.
October 31, 201311 yr Whose male vocals is on Wildfire, any idea. Or is one of the girls' pitch tuned to give that effect. :P
November 1, 201311 yr #61 and 3 copies ahead of #64 Wow, so there could be like one copy seperating #61, #62, #63 and #64. :lol:
November 3, 201311 yr Wow, so there could be like one copy seperating #61, #62, #63 and #64. :lol: Those 'sales' are bonkers. I don't really see albums selling what they used to 5 years ago; anytime soon at least anyway.
November 3, 201311 yr Ouch! I hope even if it doesn't go back in top 20, that during the christmas rush they sell some more :)
November 4, 201311 yr Sales either side of it from the sales thread: 46 Wilkinson - Lazers Not Included 2,951 65 White Denim - Corsicana Lemonade 1,867 I suppose it could have done 2k?
