August 12, 201410 yr It doesn't seem to make sense to me, between WAYWF being so high and the GH being so low I wouldn't be surprised if there's sales data missing in the mids.
August 12, 201410 yr It doesn't seem to make sense to me, between WAYWF being so high and the GH being so low I wouldn't be surprised if there's sales data missing in the mids. 'What Are You Waiting For' being at #10 doesn't surprise me as they weren't that far behind #10 on iTunes. I guess pre-orders, physicals and Ep allowed it to be #10. I'm expecting it to be around #15 in tomorrows midweeks though. I'm thinking there must be some sort of sales data missing for Greatest Hits though, the pre-orders seemed to indicate so much more.

Well, Umi says it, it's good enough for me. I'm usually quite realistic with The Saturdays faliures, but I feel like there's something quite fishy here. I'm going to go with the tour editions haven't been added yet. #Denial
August 12, 201410 yr So basically they're like 400 copies from #3? And a signing would get them like 500 sales...
August 12, 201410 yr Something's definitely not right. I don't believe that with all the versions (tour, boxset, standard and deluxe) they've only sold 2.7k! That's ridiculous. I'm sure they must have outsold Living for the Weekend's first week on pre-orders alone? Maybe some sales have been excluded - that's the only explanation I can find for this. It's doing better than Living for the Weekend and that had 4k on Tuesday! Excuse me while I have a meltdown...
August 12, 201410 yr So basically they're like 400 copies from #3? And a signing would get them like 500 sales... Well, they're going to fall from this point onwards anyway. I was just hoping (and expecting) that their frontloaded sales would have helped them have a higher starting place, so the fall wouldn't be as severe. Aren't Tuesday midweeks known for being somewhat wonky? I mean, they have more fans than this, and LOTS of them would have multi-bought. It did considerably better than LFTW in pre-orders.

I'm going to go with the tour editions haven't been added yet. #Denial Well don't take it as gospel :lol: It's *possible* they're the real sales but fishy is the word for it - #5 at the end of the week maybe but on Tuesday mids with the tour edition factored in? :unsure: It'd be one thing if the sales are high but less than 2.7k just seems impossibly low. Right now I'm just thinking they might not have included the tour edition sales.

August 12, 201410 yr I bought 8 copies (pic to follow) and I thought it would have accumulated more sales by now :(

August 12, 201410 yr The sad thing is that fans have been buying multiple versions (downloads, EP's, iTunes version, Amazon, tour edition, remixes etc) plus the fact the girls themselves and their family/friends/management probably all bought it and then you're left thinking that there's probably only about 1.5K of the general public who's bought it so far. :lol:
August 12, 201410 yr I don't think sales are missing, the usual source has not mentioned anything and he's usually aware if there's some data missing. 03. Sam Smith - In The Lonely Hour 3050 04. One Republic - Native 3014 05. Dolly Parton - Blue Smoke 2706 06. The Saturdays - FInest Selection 2696 07. Paloma Faith - A Perfect Contradiction 2464 08. Richard & Adam - At The Movies 2383 09. George Zra - Wanted On Voyage 2305 10. Coldplay - Ghost Stories 2292 They are 600 copies ahead of #11. 'What Are You Waiting For' has 5,424 sales and is 1k behind #09 and 8 sales ahead of #11. I'm expecting them to be around #14 in tomorrow midweeks with 'What Are You Waiting For'.
August 12, 201410 yr I bought 8 copies (pic to follow) and I thought it would have accumulated more sales by now :( I paid towards 5 copies, too. I know lots of fans would have at least contributed to 2 or more. Wednesday midweeks are usually a lot more reliable, so I guess we'll find out the full story then. I'm shocked they wouldn't be able to out-do Sam Smith and Dolly at least.
August 12, 201410 yr I'm with you on this one. I just can't accept it. Please hold me :( http://38.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lw1l0j79Qt1r3few6o1_250.gif What even is the official charts anyway? Such a fix.
August 12, 201410 yr ARGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH! I'm gonna run out in the rain and drink all the alcohol in my house and then trash the place and then pray to Godchelle to save my soul for my sins! See ya.
