This is the first time in a while it's re-entered the top 100 - so either it's the first time R1 have played it for ages or it's somehow bucked its trend of diminishing returns. Always great to see it making another resurgence though :D I would love if one of the R1 DJs decided to play it for a whole week to try and get it into the top 40 a la 'I Giorni'.

 

 

I was listening earlier when it came on. Apparently they only play it about twice a year but it always has a massive reaction when they do. It's Happiness week on Radio 1, so maybe they'll buck the trend and play it a few times this week.

Have they played Happiness by Alexis Jordan then? :lol:

Good to see Shakira available!

The new 59p batch should be rather interesting tonight! I suspect that Little Mix - Little Me may be 59p.

That would be awesome, but I'm not holding my breath since CYL or HYD weren't reduced when they were in a similar position.

240. Shakira - Can't Remember To Forget You (feat. Rihanna)

Thrilled that they've released the collaboration OA/OS (in the UK particularly), should sell well in the long run I imagine.

 

Paloma Faith's new single is one to watch out for too. Pre-order available now, out end of February; penned and produced by chart wizard Pharrell.

Oh more realistically, its because sales in the Top 100 have dropped to such a level that even very minor sales increases get you a temporary place.

Woo. Coming for that no.1 I hope and to topple Happy in the process.

It's possible that it's doing better now than the last few times due to the sales environment being a bit quieter, yes. I wouldn't say it's a 'minor' sales increase though. It's probably gone up from selling virtually nothing yesterday to selling a few hundred today (so proportionally an enormous increase).

Doing well so far. Hoping for a top forty break by midnight.

I imagine Shakanna will get iTunes #1 soon then, but hopefully Pharrell can hold on to it officially.

Yep, their first album in 8 years will follow in April ^_^

The Embrace single is an instant grat... for the EP of the same name. Does that mean anyone pre-ordering the EP will count as 2 sales (one for the instant grat and another for the EP when it's completed)? If so that's just cheating :lol:
