If you're aged between 16 - 24, live in the UK and love music (and the charts, so basically everyone on this forum) you will probably be interested in this. Project from Sony Music record label and will probably get some good experience out of it. If anyone did the White Noise project (also by Sony) it's like a continuation but in much more depth than that. http://www.crowddna.com/blog/Music/

Kiesza up to 26, this is mental.

 

Sometimes I suspect the record labels kinda "plan" #1s with the help of releasing the main contenders on different weeks, to have a bit of publicity for as many act as possible.

The record company are playing a blinder on this. Biggest first week sales since Roar at least...

Yep, they've been doing it for years - in fact it's probably less now than it was back in the CD single days of the late 1990s/early 2000s when almost every week was a new number one!

Its only a blinder in terms of the song will gauranteed to enter at no1 on Sunday week but in terms of sales its weeks upon weeks on pre orders will have meant thousands of lost sales!

It will be okay.

Oh, yes please! :wub: What a smashing track.

255. Indiana - Solo Dancing

Yeah 'Solo Dancing' should easily make the top 10! :cheer:

Would be very surprised if it beat Clean Bandit's first week. It may push for 150k possibly though?

The way it goes it could peak inside the top-20 on pre-orders this week and possibly top-15 next week. 150k for sure I think.

G'won Kiesza! 150k+ first week sales seem very likely for this now. Sigma should do about 120k+ too, good to see that comfortably top 40.

Given the length of time the pre-order has has been in the iTunes top 50, I think Kiesza's sales could easily touch 200k. :D

298. Secondcity - I Wanna Feel (Radio Edit)

 

I heard this song yesterday, and wow! It's so good. Really happy it's got lots of pre-orders.

Good to see Let Me Go climbing again! Since I Saw You Last isn't doing too badly either

32. Sigma - Nobody to Love

 

This is #2 on the Shazam chart now behind Kiesza

 

 

 

On The Album Chart:

 

133. Shift K3Y - Touch - EP

 

And this is #10 on the Shazam chart

I think Kiesza will do about 180-200k. 150k seems modest for its pre-order success. But I do agree it's been handled poorly, it'll be lucky to have much in the form of longevity with this sort of release.

Sigma - Nobody To Love

So this is a sure fire number one next week, right? with about... 130-140K?

 

Just remember Clean Bandit got as high as #6 on pre-orders and 'only' sold 162k first week :P I suppose Kiesza could get similarly high as she still has a bit of time left before her release.

Yeah that sounds right, that gives me an idea for a poll :magic:
