August 13, 201410 yr I am dreading Friday's midweek position. Dropping 10-17 between tuesday and wednesday. Most likely be 31 at the very highest by Friday. I dunno if streaming is added in the midweeks or not, but if it keeps falling at the current rate it's gonna be 45 come Sunday
August 14, 201410 yr the roller-coaster of emotions I feel during a Saturdays release week is a joke: Hope. Happiness. Desperation. Worry. Guilt. Sadness. Anger. Unexpected Happiness. Confusion. Surprise. Disappointment. Further Disappointment. Laughable Disappointment. Laughable Surprise. I need to disable my wifi whenever they release stuff next time (if there is a next time) because every time they release something, I genuinely drive my self insane worrying. However in the past by the end of the week they normally achieve an underwhelming yet tolerable chart placing so I should just relax. :???: :heehee: :drama: :thinking:
August 14, 201410 yr Lol at there being no promo/adverts now while everything just tumbles down the charts. Tumble would have been perfect this week. Edited August 14, 201410 yr by Joe.
August 14, 201410 yr I can't believe it's going to open with less sales than 'Living For The Weekend'. I know 'Living For The Weekend' had a better amount of promotion but with the amount of editions able to be purchased and a very good iTunes run, I thought 'Greatest Hits' would at least manage to open with 14,000. It will just be hugely shambolic if this misses the top 10. They should have had a couple of album signings to ensure they managed to remain top 10. No doubt they would have had sold more albums had they just done signings instead of promoting :lol: 23. The Saturdays - Finest Selection [Greatest Hits] 37. The Saturdays - What Are You Waiting For :lol:
August 14, 201410 yr When Wordshaker flopped I remember everyone saying it was a massive flop, then On Your Radar was a massive flop and it "couldn't get any worse" then Living For The Weekend somehow done even worse than that and then it was "well they should release a Greatest Hits it'll probably be the only thing they release that won't flop" and yet it's somehow again even done worse than the previous album. :( We'd probably kill for sales like Wordshaker now. :lol:
August 14, 201410 yr I'm still deflated by the sales. How on earth was I expecting 6 - 10k fist midweek sales!?
August 14, 201410 yr I'm quite shocked by the sales. I honestly thought it was a mistake. I wonder would this have been better released during the Christmas market? It probably would have charted lower but with more sales. Or maybe woulda just got lost entirely among the big releases? Even a few signings next week would help overall sales.
August 14, 201410 yr To be honest, this release is clearly on low-budget and some people are speculating it might even be self-funded between the girls and Peter and the Polydor has barely given anything.

I mean, if Polydor won't properly fund them doing a greatest hits release how on earth will these poor sales make them more confident to fund another album?
August 14, 201410 yr I highly doubt the girls put any money in. Maybe just Facination and Peter. If the girls cares enough to put money in I think they would have put themselves out there a bit more. But the Lotto and more so Tumble slots must have cost. Unless they have stricken some kind of deal with BBC. In which case, I'm wondering...Charity single?

One of the girls is appearing on Strictly this year. "Supposedly". Edited August 14, 201410 yr by tommie
