So it's becoming very obvious that this will go to #1, with it now up to #21 on iTunes based on pre-orders, but how will this translate into sales?

 

I'm thinking more than 150k, but 175k+ is a possibility too.

It's hard to predict because sales seem to be lower than when songs like 'Wake Me Up' were this high on pre-order. I voted for 151-175k because I think it will be around 155k.

51-100k

 

still think The Vamps will be #1 tbh

 

Well... its high on pre-orders already so I'm going to say 126k to 150k but it might just clip 128k to 130k.

I'm expecting sales in the #4 and below region to be pretty shot (considering Fuse, Matrix & Futurebound & Sub Focus are all currently flying high, rather randomly), so I don't think it'd take as many pre-orders as usual to get as high as it is currently. There's no doubt it'll be #1, I think it'll sell around 127k!

I think the lower sales environment definitely is helping the pre-order but it's still not doing too much worse than the likes of Robin and Avicii so I think it's easily looking at a 6 figure opening. I said 100-125k.

I think, with residual gift card sales to be had, people are hungry for new music, so I'll plump higher than everyone else with ~ 202k. :D

I am expecting between 115-120k. I can't see it being lower than 100k but I don't know if it has enough time before release to build up enough sales to reach 150k+ in the first week. Would love to be wrong though. Such a great feel good song.

I think it'll be quite high 175k maybe which is epic for a January release! As someone made the good point earlier after the too 3/4 sales are quite low around maybe 35k this week but I think sales overall in the top 40 are decent it was 19/20k for the no20 in last weeks chart and even if it is less this week it will still be high.

 

On a seperate note Jake Bugg is performing 'Songs about Love' on Graham Norton - hope its the third single beautiful song - top 100 please!

It doesn't strike me as an obvious #1, so I predicted <50k (which would probably be enough for T3 though).

Where it is on preorders is about 15/20k a week, it will sell a lot more than that probably.

It doesn't seem like an obvious number one and I don't know how it's doing so well

It's #18 on pre-orders alone. It could well go top 10 before its release next week, and maybe match Avicii's position reached on pre-order!

Predicting 51-100k, but am happy for six figures on opening week, can't believe Clean Bandit are looking at a #1 and potentially a platinum selling record in the long run.

This is now top 20 on pre-orders!!!!!! It's not even out for another week!!

 

I hope this is going to be number one, its looking likely with every day on iTunes so I'm hoping even if pre orders are low that this could give them a healthy 20-30k head start over The Vamps even with their Mcfly-esque desperate multiple version release strategy.

 

Think it will do over 100k but ill stay safe and go for 51-100k as I think 85-95k is more realistic but I'd love this to outsell Pitbull's first week sales :)

Despite the pre-orders I still don't think #1 is a given. I'm going for 70,000 at #3.

i think it is probably looking at 160k possibly. if they can keep up the pre orders it may be higher, but thats my minimum prediction. its a big week, wht with the vamps releasing wild heart too, but i reckon clean bandit will make it. i was really expecting the vamps to sell better on pre orders.
