True, I guess it is a case of promotion appearing at different times! I'm not entirely convinced on how big the X Factor boost will be, because of the general idea that the boosts it gives aren't as big as they once were, but it'll obviously be a factor to at least some degree. I just hope airplay picks up a bit more, I'm surprised how little it's gotten so far given how radio-friendly it is.

 

On another note, I'm warming to the song quite a bit. The chorus I still think lets it down but rather than making it a bad song it just makes a good song that bit less great.

Cheryl's performance could have the kind of impact we can't quite anticipate at the moment. It'll be her first X Factor performance in 4 years, and once the performance is announced I'm sure there's going to be a lot of hype in the run up to it! I think the appeal of a "Cheryl X Factor performance" is going to be somewhat higher than those who have performed so far!

 

I'm quite confident that the song will be a #1, but I have no idea about first week sales/overall sales, we shall see.

The performance will be talked about a lot which will give it a big boost.

 

It'll be either the:

 

I can't believe she's miming, why doesn't she sing live boost, or

Ew, Cheryl sounds terrible and should mine , boost.

 

Twitter will be brutal and she won't win either way, but I agree with Jay that it'll probably draw in a great deal of hype.

As expected Cheryl has been confirmed for next Sunday show on the X Factor ! :cheer:

 

Totally forgot the single is out in a weeks time! :o Looking forward to her no doubt flawless performance. :wub:

Apprehensive for her performance; could go either way!

The single doesn't look like it's going to be number 1, the pre-order is so low :(

Haven't heard the single on the radio much but hopefully it'll pick up this week.

Hope Cheryl's doing more promo than just X Factor

I wouldn't say that #161 is all that low? It could certainly be worse than being within the Top 200. We really should wait and see what impact her performance provides. Her previous singles performed on The X Factor reached #1 on iTunes before she even performed them! Let's not lose faith a week before it's necessary. :P

The thing is: though the pre-order is very low, the competition just isn't there. Nothing is beating her, so it's basically "can she beat Ed Sheeran?". Not an easy question to answer.

Ed has had a massive increase following his x-factor performance! He's climbed over 40% in just over three and a half ours.

The competition is low but still, it doesn't mean the song has enough power to reach the top. Maybe it will only land in the top 5 or something.

I mean, everyone takes the number 1 as granted with Cheryl, but it's not that easy when even bands like One Direction don't make number 1 with their comeback song.

 

Ed could be on course for over 100k this week, and he will probably do the same next week or more.

If Ed can jump to number 1 with his X-Factor performance with a song that's been out and charting for ages from an album loads of people have, I can't see Cheryl doing any worse. I have a feeling it will have like 2 weeks in the top 10 though overall.

I have to be honest, I have really gone off this song. :(

 

It's a well produced track that I now agree with others is ruined by the chorus. If that was stronger and didn't seem so try hard it'd be a potentially perfect pop song.

This has surprisingly really grown on me. I think the chorus is probably what makes it catchy for me...still not a fan of the Scherzinger inspired video though, mind you.

Nicole Scherzinger wasn't the first person to film a video on a beach you know :kink:

I know that :lol: very similar to Your Love in terms of just walking around on a beach!

The pre-order is finally back in the top100 on iTunes ! :cheer:

Yeah, nice to see her in TOP100 again, I hope it will be in it till Sunday. :D

Is the Foo Fighters single an instant grat? Or is available to chart?
