June 19, 201510 yr 9k first week sales for the lead single off an unreleased Greatest Hits album is still shit though. Whatever, it's one of my favourite singles and think it was a great choice.
June 19, 201510 yr Got reports from my boyfriend that this was playing in a bar in Benidorm, no he's not common he was visiting a friend. Haha!
June 19, 201510 yr Comparing something bad to something worse is not going to make something less bad. WAYWF did badly and it outselling Pixie doesn't make it a much better performance.
June 19, 201510 yr Till this very day, I still don't know where it charted. I don't need to know it either.
June 20, 201510 yr Let's get real for a minute here, almost everyone loved this before it flopped. I'm pretty sure we had some people predicting it would go #1 when they first put the pre-order out there and it shot up on iTunes. Not ashamed to say I love this and it deserved far better. AT LEAST Top 10. It's right up there with a lot of the OYR material.
June 20, 201510 yr I can't remember who, but I can remember there were some complaints especially after 808 leaked. I personally think WAYWF, WTTD and 808 are one of their best.
June 21, 201510 yr I was one of the one predicting this would be a #1 smash and I still adore it! It still does sound like a #1 smash to me :cry:
June 21, 201510 yr I thought it'd be a hit too, at first! :( Well it may have flopped in the charts, but it's a hit in my heart. ^_^
June 21, 201510 yr I'm not even putting any energy or emotion into how well or not this single will do. I love the song a lot, but I'm completely beyond caring how they do in the charts now. It seems however they do, brilliantly or awfully, they soldier on regardless - so what's the point in worrying? If The Saturdays/their managers/their label aren't worried or concerned, then I don't think the fans should be really. It'll be a shame that a good song isn't allowed to reach its full potential (i.e. radio), and it's frustrating that the girls & their team don't appear to be putting much effort into making this single a success, but c'est la vie. It isn't completely impossible to achieve a hit single which had poor airplay (hello Nicole Scherzinger), so The Saturdays will get out of this single what they put into it. Personally I'm more focused on how 'Finest Selection' does. If that doesn't manage Top 3 at least, I'll be disappointed! August is a relatively easy month to achieve a high position, so if they don't manage this, then I don't think there's any way that their chart fortunes can be turned around. "@officialcharts: @iamfabio It's not really a disaster. It came out the same week as their album, so I imagine most people have been buying the album instead " The offical chart sticking up for the girls :lol: Official Charts trolling.
June 21, 201510 yr 9k first week sales for the lead single off an unreleased Greatest Hits album is still shit though. Whatever, it's one of my favourite singles and think it was a great choice. Babe it was 14,000. Finest Selection sold 9,000.
June 21, 201510 yr Ew. Lee, why are you dragging up this turd? Let it Rest In Pieces. http://i.imgur.com/kP3WnNX.png Omg at my hopes for the album to go Top 3! :lol:
June 21, 201510 yr The meltdown in this thread and 'Finest Selection' threads are incredible. We predicted first sales in midweeks of around 9,000 and we believed it could have been their first #01 album. MESS.
June 21, 201510 yr Babe it was 14,000. Finest Selection sold 9,000. This very week in 2008, The Saturdays were enjoying their first hit single with If This Is Love. Six years on, they score their 20th - but smallest - hit, debuting at number 38 (9,982 sales) with What You Waiting For?. All of these songs, and a fair few more are on their first compilation, Finest Selection: The Greatest Hits, which debuts at number 10 (7,268 sales) on the album chart. http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m9iosfF3gS1qjjf4ho3_1280.png
June 21, 201510 yr 'Finest Selection' opened with 7,000? http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m9iosfF3gS1qjjf4ho3_1280.png
