August 10, 201410 yr i often wonder why the management/label/peter/aoife belle thought it was a good idea to let the girls release gentleman when they had a track like NGU on their hands :???: Also the single is doing better than I expected so I guess that's a plus :)
August 10, 201410 yr i often wonder why the management/label/peter/aoife belle thought it was a good idea to let the girls release gentleman when they had a track like NGU on their hands :???: Also the single is doing better than I expected so I guess that's a plus :) Because 'Gentleman' had a different and interresting pop structure, was more "live instrumental"ish than their dance efforts (Radio 1 hasn't just started moving from the dance sound, they have been willing to move from it from ages!), was different enough from the last single to show that the album has diversity, Polydor probably knew Girls Aloud were going to split and thus thought releasing a Girls Aloud-esque (for the structure, quirky lyrics and all) would be a good idea... It was a dumb move anyway, not safe at all. Reastically, it really is what killed them because 'What About Us', although not really getting that much airplay until it hit #1, was A-listed by Radio 1. Gentleman is the one that didn't and everything after that hasn't managed to get airplay. ANYWAY. The album is #202 Should be #150 by the time of the release I think.
August 10, 201410 yr iTunes Pop 26. What Are You Waiting For 232. Disco Love 416. What About Us 581. Higher 703. Disco Love 1114. Greatest Hits Megamix 1402. All Fired Up 1455. Not Giving Up 14. What Are You Waiting For EP 200. Greatest Hits [Finest Selection] :D
August 10, 201410 yr #189 Greatest Hits [Finest Selection] :up: I think people are just buying the Greatest Hits instead of buying the single. FKA Twigs are #105 The Gaslight Anthem are #219 I checked the other competition but they were all far behind.
August 10, 201410 yr #184 :up: Dare I say it could make the top 150 before the release? :o EDIT : FKA Twigs falls at #107 :kink: Edited August 10, 201410 yr by Hurricane
August 10, 201410 yr WAYWF #41 So yeah people are slowly waking up and downloading their preorder seems like. 5am is still incredibly early though.
August 10, 201410 yr The EP has almost had a similar iTunes position as Finest Selection. Oh dear. No it's not. Finest selection has always been higher and done better so I think it will be fine. That's the iTunes position for both leading up to midnight. Green = album | Yellow = EP http://fbcdn-photos-c-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xap1/t1.0-0/1919662_792568254112621_1001795811516746077_n.jpg
August 10, 201410 yr Finest Selection #180 yassss Defo headed for top 3 over all on iTunes atleast. It's held up amazingly on pre orders. Didn't their last two albums dissappear for weeks before release before climbing during the last week?
August 10, 201410 yr Let's be honest though, they are releasing the album the same week as the single. I think you need to get behind the idea that this single was meant to flop anyway. You either pay 0.99 for one song or well an extra 9£ for 38 other tracks. You won't get a better bargain than this. I'm sure most people are going for the album instead of just the song. Then obviously, no airplay on both TV and radios, etc, etc, etc. We've been over this for a month now.
