Here's a non-Google friendly and NSFW picture which they put on their Twitter! https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B31kKNUIUAEYKcd.jpg

 

 

I'd have all three.

 

Any word on WHY this isn't on streaming?

I read somewhere that the label think that by it not being online to listen to free it will force people to buy it instead, therefore get more sales so they can stay number one. Silly idea i think.

Quite a fanciful idea in this chart climate. They should put up the song for streaming now, given that the iTunes download is falling. Every little would help and I doubt a lot of its potential streaming would come from people who'd buy it anyway. They have probably encouraged more illegal downloading than they'd usually get as a consequence!

 

They really need to add their music video back to YouTube, they're surely losing attention by not having that viewable.

Finally downloaded this, rather spiffy. Not as good as Beautiful Life, but then, nothing is.

 

Take your smooth hating outta here Regina, I tolerate it in the celeb thread but that is your one outlet for such sick talk.

UJ and Morrisons tweeting that the CD single has been reduced to 49p. It's being sold in over 200 Morrisons stores so could get a decent boost? They sold out of all the copies at their signing today and have another signing tomorrow so will really be going for it and at that price tag it will encourage multiple purchases.

 

Have to give it to their Management for throwing all they can at this!

 

49p! Lol. Desperate measures, when the simplest thing for them to do is put their song on Spotify.

How is that profitable to sell it for that little? That's not even close to a $1.00 USD. Why keep an act on roster if you have to resort taking a sizable loss just to get them to sell? Especially since it probably won't even go #1.

I imagine the logic is, take the hit on the single sales in the hope the added publicity and high charting position sells the album, merchandise and tour tickets. There is a lot of good will for them atm hopefully they can have a bit of longevity.

It's just weird for a label to push for them when they have such a generic sound and chart under-performance, nothing against them personally. Especially when you have way better and more successful acts like the Wanted getting the axe after one album under-performance. 5SOS is about the only fun and interesting boyband at the moment.

Pure guess but I think at most CD singles have a 1 week shelf life so better to take a hit on the price and get rid of them to get a high chart position than be left with 1,000s of unsold/unwanted copies.

They are still with Simon Cowell/Syco - Maybe he wants another boy and to plug the gaps between 1D releases!

Officially came in at #2! Delighted for them.

I hope this doesn't drop massively next week.

Am hoping people will cherry pick the album version and keep them Top 10 at least.

 

Disappointed they didn't get to #1 however still a massive success for them as I'm not sure it would have gone Top 20 without the X-Factor!

I hope this doesn't drop massively next week.

 

Sadly I have to quote myself to say this dropped 32 places to 34 this week. It also went 1-22 on the Sales only chart which is a new record for the biggest drop.
