How do we know she's miming anyway? I really think the verses sound quite different to the studio version.

I agree that it sounds different but the vocals could easily have been pre-recorded, that's what she normally does I think. Brian Friedman's denied that she mimed but I still think she did. Not phased either way though.

Neither am I phased. I've been a britney fan for 15+ years so miming really doesn't bother me. I just don't agree with what people are saying about it sounding exactly like the studio version. It's quite different

Brian Friedman is not the kind to go on Twitter and lie about it if it's not true.

All these years working for Britney, he never did such a thing so I don't see why he would lie for Cheryl just for this performance. He could have as well just said nothing about it.

 

Still #1 in the midweeks, 16k ahead of Ed at #2.

She is going to miss this, isn't she? :(

 

Cheryl is 88%, and he is doing around 2,5k on stream alone everyday.

I doubt it.

Doubt it too, she have a HUGE lead, he's not gonna beat 16k in two days.

It's 3 days left, not 2.

 

The 16.4k lead includes Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday...

I think the verses we're live but the chorus seemed mimed but to be honest if I was in her position I'd do exactly the same!

I agree with this completely. And I'm not just being a naive fan. I fully admit when my fav act is miming but I so to think that's the case this time, especially with the verses.

I'd be surprised if Ed overcame that lead.

Cheryl is 85,3% on Ed on iTunes at the moment, which means that when Ed is selling around 10k a day, she is selling 8,5k. Plus Ed must do around 2,5k a day on streaming and Cheryl around 500, so basically Ed is gaining around 3,5k on Cheryl everyday, and Saturday I'm not sure what could happen as I guess sales are bigger on that day than on casual week days.

It shouldn't be enough to overtake her but he's going to get pretty close, there could be less than 5k between them both at the end of the week :o

Gap - Wednesday mids - 17,600+

Gap - Thursday mids - 16,370+

Gap - Friday mids - 14,900 (although there is some Spotify data missing).

 

I'm pretty confident that Cheryl will still be #1 for Sunday, it's a large gap for Ed to overcome and he hasn't made huge daily gains against her so far this week.

Any predictions for Cheryl's first week sales with 'I Don't Care' and 'Only Human'? ^_^

I'm gonna say 80k for 'I Don't Care' and 35k for 'Only Human'.

Agreed with Adam on both fronts. 80k seems solid for IDC and I was hoping for 45k+ for the album but pre-orders indicate 30-35k I imagine.

Yeah, something around 80-85k for IDC, I would say 40k+ for OH.

I'm 99.9% sure that Cheryl definitely mimed to a pre-recorded live vocal, it's something she's always done. I have no problem with her doing it, especially when's she doing a full-on dance routine, but Brian saying she didn't doesn't convince me otherwise.

I so hope it's number 1
