Posted April 30, 201411 yr tA8AfQaUnXM Absolutely stunning song, one of the years best in my opinion. Would love for it to be a huge selling #01 but I am not sure. I do think it is hopefully a definite Top 10, depends on how much Radio 1 & Capital get on board with it and what promotional appearances she has lined up as well. What do you think?
April 30, 201411 yr I don't think this will do as well as you think. It is a bit repetitive and i'm not sure if radio will pick it up or not. It may reach the top 10, but I think it will peak around #11-#15.
April 30, 201411 yr They seem to be throwing everything at this so I think she'll have good promo. I'm sure it'll be a No. 1, Top 3 at the very least.
April 30, 201411 yr If it gets picked up by Radio - I don't see why not - then I think it could easily go top 5.
April 30, 201411 yr I think it will manage a week at #1, after all they will probably give her a BGT performance. I think around 80k first week sales with about 10 weeks top 40 is what beckons. With the main competition being Ed's second week sales, which I will manage will take a hefty decline due to being on pre-order for so long, I think it will just be enough to do it.
April 30, 201411 yr It's hard to say at this stage, if Radio 1 playlist it and it gets the right amount of support it should do a 'Once' (Diana Vickers).
April 30, 201411 yr Exactly what I was thinking. This has Diana Vickers level of success all over it.
April 30, 201411 yr ^ Really? I disagree. I think it has the potential to be a genuinely big hit and could even do very well in the U.S. Also, the investment and backing she's getting is more Leona-esque.
April 30, 201411 yr Diana also had loads of hype and everyone expected that to be a MASSIVE hit at the time too, if it does a 'Once' that'll still be decent for her. It's just a matter of whether she can sustain it after this.
April 30, 201411 yr I'm definitely getting Diana Vickers vibes from her. This'll go to #1 but I'm not sure how she'll do in the long run - hopefully better than DiVi

It's just a matter of whether she can sustain it after this. I don't remember the reaction to 'Once' being as universally positive though. From what I've seen, this is considered one of the best pop songs of the last year or so while 'Once' was generally thought of more as a good throwaway hit IIRC. Who's to know if the massive response to 'Ghost' will translate into sustained sales though so I agree that a similar chart-run would still be a success. I just think it has the potential to do a lot more.
April 30, 201411 yr Top 10, top 5 (if she is lucky) This song is so good for mainstream chart music. It wouldn't my all-time favourite, but it's one of the best current singles, which I heard in last 10-12 months.
April 30, 201411 yr I would like this to go to number one but have a feeling it will be a top 10. Depends how good her promo is.
April 30, 201411 yr A fantastic song and a really high quality video. It deserves a lot of success- here's hoping the big radio stations play it as some variety in amongst the techno mixes.

If even you like it, it MUST have universal appeal :P --- I'm thinking it'll at least "do a Diana vickers" depending on if radio pick it up in a big way but it feels like it could also be pretty big, we shall see. I'd prefer the latter option :wub:
