Hi Milly - welcome!

 

I don't think AC/DC will sell more than TT - I do feel 300k is about right

They will be number one with their album in the UK, although all three songs heard by now are nothing against the Circus or Progress, imo. But they will be no 1 because of the pre-orders and their strong fan base. They have not charted well with the Circus anywhere else than in the UK and Ireland. Progress was an exception because of the super star status of RW in Europe and the fact that all 5 members were together again. Considering the music which is in the charts in Germany and Holland or Italy and France these days, they will hardly hit the top 30 with the single and the top 10 with the album. Like Gary's album didn't chart anywhere for long despite promo in Germany. Their sales will be UK sales where they will hit 1 million, add 150,000 in the rest of Europe and thats' it. Nail me on that.

I am just delighted with UK success, they can sell enough in the UK to keep them ticking over financially.

How importent will streaming be for the top spot on the singles chart?

 

In scandinavia, streaming is is over 95 % of the singles chart but i guess is not the same thing in the UK ^_^

Another song could be heard today; Let In The Sun. From the three songs we've heard so far I like These Days the best. I'm not so sure yet about the other two songs <_< . I've pre-ordered the deluxe album from Google Play and it says it will be available already 27 November, so hopefully I can listen to the full album already on Thursday.

I really really like the second song they released, If You Want It

Yeah, I really liked that on first listen too. Anyone got a link to the one mentioned call Let in the Sun?

If You Want It is great, i am loving the sound of this album so far. I sense this album will be better than progress. That said, i really enjoyed progress/progressed, the flood is one of my favourite singles ever by them but i always prefered beautiful world and the circus.

I loved The Flood but I felt the album (which I think is very good btw) tried to be too much of everything.

 

Really looking forward to III

 

Wonder if XF will have TT back for the final? Would be great to have them do their new single

A return for the X Factor final would be wonderful. Progress had a mixed sound, and i should have mentioned in my previous post eight letters was a fantastic track too, it was a different release from them as they had to incorporate Robbie's tastes and it did work, i just prefer the output from the previous albums.

Number 2 in the Wednesday Chart update but just 1,700 behind Band Aid,the number 1 is all to play for. The Graham Norton show could possibly swing the number 1 for them.

It would be amazing. Streams could play a part. Judging by TT's streams right now, you can add another 250 onto their sales

Is there a streaming chart that can be viewed during the week??? I am not in full understanding of how streaming works. When you say judging by streams Take That have 250 to add to sales, how many have Band Aid?

 

What websites count towards streaming apart from spotfy, i want to do my part to help the streams.

Yeah use this link: http://charts.spotify.com/?object=tracks&a...amp;date=latest

 

I think every 100 streams counts as 1 sale

 

Band Aid don't have streaming (not released till January on streaming sites)

Streaming it will be for a few days, every sale is extremely crucial as these days has such a great chance of number 1.

Take That are #1 on iTunes! They are about 1,400 copies behind Band Aid so let's hope they can do it!

Finally at number 1,the official number 1 is so close now.

I've no idea how streaming works - but read this yesterday.

I would believe streaming is easier to manipulate than downloading (legally).

Ok so apparently Robbie is releasing an album and going head to head with Take That this Monday?

 

edit: It seems Robbie's album can only be bought off his website and won't make the charts.
