I expected this to do a lot better than it is doing. I was hoping they'd be roughly 25 by now and BGT would have them spiraling into the top 10, but it looks to peak around 15/20 on iTunes after the performance - unless it's an AMAZING performance. fingers crossed.

I too expected more, it appears the single is now heavily relying on the BGT performance to get anywhere. I just hope the performance is strong enough to make people download the track and at the lowest make Salute a top 20 hit.

Just listened to the instrumental of this. It's FABULOUS. Some really interesting (and at times bonkers) production in there that I've never noticed before. It also sounds like it could be used on a movie soundtrack in parts.

This deserves better than it's getting. :(

It'll go top 20. I believe it will. Yes I'm just banking on the BGT performance and they should be doing more, but I'll take whatever I get :lol:

When is it? I was banking on that too.

 

I'll be satisfied with top 20, I predicted #20 from the outset anyway.

BGT is this Saturday. It might end up peaking next week, I wonder if they have any more promo in for the following week, I'm hoping they rescheduled This Morning and not cancelled all together.

 

I reckon they'll get a big boost from BGT and get Top 10 on iTunes. Not too sure if they can get there officially though.

Yeah, I'm inclined to agree with this, although I'm not even sure that it'll go top 10 on iTunes at the moment. It doesn't seem to be connecting much with people, but I guess it's not all that surprising since its lyrics pretty much alienates half the population. :lol: If it does go top 10 on iTunes, I doubt it'll stay there all next week now that Radio 1 have once again dropped them before they reached the A-list. <_< Top 20 seems to be the best case scenario at this point, which is a bit gutting since I really thought this would be their first truly big post-album single.

That's what I thought when I first heard it!

Salute

Top 10 on iTunes! PLEASE be their first post album top 10 hit!

It was a great performance on BGT. :wub: Hopefully they can get Top 10 officially.

It was so good! I've not seen a girl group performance like that since something of PCD's, probably! SO GOOD!

Shame R1 dropped them from the playlist before their strongest week. Hopefully they can prove R1 wrong though and make them second guess their decision.

 

 

Does anyone have a link to the performance?
