I'd say "Believe" and "On The Floor" were carefully thought out promotional campaigns, when this "Kiss Me Once" seems a little bit sudden.

'Sparks' is pretty glorious!

Combined it's 9, only just ahead of Pixie. Idiotic public.

Received mine, Regina! :D

Anyone else get their physcial single today? :cheer:

 

 

No :angry:

And the midweek position is...

Is appears to be somewhat of a mix up going, her highest version appears to be deleted of I tunes now to makes way for the album version, this is what i understand but i could be wrong. If this is correct, she will be lucky at best to reach top 25 but its starting to appear Into the Blue will perform in a similar way to Timebomb thus setting the album campaign off to a very worrying start.

It was #7 in the first midweeks, so it won't be that low.

 

The label deleting the highest version was sheer stupidity though, the second version is slowly climbing up but struggling to recover and this will only harm it even more.

17.5k sales, if she could sell 9k more for the remainder of the week she just may sneak that top 10 on Sunday and do it by the skin of her teeth.

Surely the release was thought out prior to this week, no single was handled correctly since all the lovers, all the single since then have had terrible strategies so its annoying now, god only knows how the follow up singles will be handled. Having the sales she acieved already this week will secure a top 15 debut at the lowest,if she could manage 10,000 between today and midnight saturday she just may get that top 10 hit.

All this on top of the fact that by far the busiest week of the year so far was chosen to release this in hasn't exactly been helpful.

I'm getting a #12 feeling for this now. :(

I think i would prefer number 12 to 11 though, number 11 is an annoying peak.

11, 41 and 76 are the frustrating positions, i am starting to believe she could mange top 10 with her highest version now climbing.

It's great, but the whole backing track music reminds me of one of the Donkey Kong Mario Kart tracks :lol:

I think she will hold on to the top ten. Itunes isnt the only place to buy the single and it has recovered some ground there and is still gaining.

 

Held itself well in other download outlets.

 

Interesting that only 1000 of the 17.5k were physical sales. Seems low, how many 7inch were there? Here's hoping the parlophone store hadnt released all their figures yet.

 

Christina Perri is the threat. Depends how far behind she was, with no sales figures further back hard to tell.

 

 

Behind Kylie in the midweeks we had

 

8. Clean Bandit

9. Katy Perry

10. John Legend

11. Sam Smith

12. A Great Big World

13. Christina Perri

14. Tiësto

 

I'd say Clean Bandit and Katy Perry are dead certs to overtake her, so realistically the highest she will be is #10. I could see John Legend and Sam Smith doing it too, so who knows?

 

I'd like to say she could overtake Pixie Lott as she's not slumping down iTunes, but I doubt it.

Parlophone have messed up again with this single. It's really annoying. I think this could well be her last studio album for parlophone if it doesn't perform well. I'm not expecting it to do well now given into the blue is struggling and will most likely miss the top10.

This album is so going to be an MDNA or ARTPOP.

Then I'd inclined to predict it will be #11...
