August 12, 201410 yr No way is WAYWF #10 in singles. It's at 19 and remember there's still Now Versions hanging around, not to mention streaming. I find it hard to believe The Sats are at #6 in albums too, they must of sold a fair few tour editions, deluxe versions and taking away compilations they are at #4 plus FKA twigs doesn't seem to be selling well on physicals. Surely that source can't be correct?!? Edited August 12, 201410 yr by Mr. C. Joel
August 12, 201410 yr What IS the source? Just that person on Popjustice? I was expecting 9/10/11 for the single, but I don't care about that anyway. If the Greatest Hits album is only 6 in the first mid weeks, that's really quite Well I saw it here but they just probably got the information from the person on Popjustice http://www.thesaturdayszone.com/midweeks/?lang=en
August 12, 201410 yr I'm taking this with a VERY VERY BIG pinch of salt here :P WAYWF isn't even in the top 10 most played saturdays song on Spotify yet so I don't know where possibly these extra sales have come from. The EP isn't that high to give them such a big boost and their physical copies tend to sell out over time rather than very quickly
August 12, 201410 yr I'm waiting till Mikey posts in the chart thread. I'm not believing any random tweets. If it's true, #10 is good for the single but #6 is bad for the first midweek album - it should've been at least #3 to begin. Edited August 12, 201410 yr by April
August 12, 201410 yr Not sure about the midweeks but they may well be correct! I don't think they will have sold as many tour edition albums as we'd have hoped. I really wish there were signings for the album this week. Even Pixie Lott did them and she managed #15 when the single didn't even achieve top 100!

I really wish there were signings for the album this week. Even Pixie Lott did them and she managed #15 when the single didn't even achieve top 100! She still has a fanbase that's predominantly why, just like The saturdays have a fanbase which will no doubt keep it top 10. I doubt the midweeks are correct to be honest, mostly because of the #10 position WAYWF is claimed to be in. Hopefully, they are wrong and GH is on a higher position
August 12, 201410 yr I thought I'd compile this because some might find it interesting. Previous midweek progress for albums... Living for the Weekend Tuesday - #6 (4k sold) Wednesday - #6 Friday - #8 Sunday - #10 (9.5k sold) On Your Radar Tuesday - #16 Wednesday - #15 Thursday - #17 Friday - #20 Sunday - #23 (18k sold) Headlines! Tuesday - #3 (6k sold) Wednesday - #3 Thursday - #3 Friday - #3 Sunday - #3 (23k sold) Wordshaker Tuesday - #5 (5.5k sold) Wednesday - #5 Thursday - #5 (9.4k sold) Friday - #7 Sunday - #9 (15k sold) Chasing Lights Tuesday - #9 (7.2k sold) Wednesday - #9 Thursday - #9 Friday - #9 Sunday - #11 (22.4k sold) I wish we could have another "Headlines!"-type release, where it doesn't drop all week! :(
August 12, 201410 yr Wow I never knew that Wordshaker was #5 on the midweeks for a while before dropping :o
August 12, 201410 yr Doesn't seem to be any actual midweeks today, so we aren't to know if the albums fate is as bad as it's rumored to be .
August 12, 201410 yr Martin has confirmed the single is #10 and album is #6. Pretty shocking for a first midweek. If it were the end of the week I could live with it, but the tour editions, various versions etc. I really was expecting more. So I'm guessing Ed, Gaslight, Richard and Adam, FKA Twigs and OneRepublic are all ahead of them.
August 12, 201410 yr It must be incredibly close, hopefully we're provided with sales at the moment. Neon Jungle were #03 at the midweeks by this point :lol:
August 12, 201410 yr It's a shame the elusive TV advert hasn't actually been on TV. If something doesn't improve in the week, it's going to be another embarrassment for them. Flop like an 808 (808). Opening sales aren't even 2.7k.... Oh my god... Edited August 12, 201410 yr by Joe.
August 12, 201410 yr Opening sales are just under 2.7k. OMG! Lower than Neon Jungle. LOL at us predicting it could have 15-25k when it wont even pass 10k.
August 12, 201410 yr So it's clear then that the tour edition sold next to nothing, so they must've known pre-orders weren't great and the promo has still been next to nothing. :( How the hell is a new studio album justifiable after this?? It's just not logical.
August 12, 201410 yr I don't believe those sales! Maybe the other editions haven't been counted? I would have thought they would of 5k by tuesday :o
August 12, 201410 yr Opening sales are just under 2.7k. OMG! I've just been sick. That's atrocious. I couldn't have in my wildest dreams imagined it would be THIS bad for this. HALF of Living For The Weekend's Tuesday sales.... Another flop to add to the shelf. Why did I think this would be different? :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:
August 12, 201410 yr Omygod http://atrl.net/forums/images/smilies/images/smilies/ahh.gif I can't deal with this. Did they forget to add the tour sales or what?

It is actually hard to accept or believe isn't it!? Even I feel like something hasn't been included. But I need to just accept it. 1 Ed Sheeran (7.8k) * 2 Gaslight Anthem (5.1k) * 3 Sam Smith (3k - 36 copies ahead of OneRepublic) 4 OneRepublic (3k) 5 Dolly Parton (2.7k - 10 copies ahead of The Saturdays) 6-10 6 The Saturdays * 8 Richard & Adam * 11-20 11 FKA Twigs * 13 Sinead O'Connor * 14 Grant Nicholas * 20 Lovable Rogues *
