That top 4 is absolutely awful, not going to bother listening to the top 5 on Sunday. I should imagine Taylor will feature in the top 5 at some point with all her promotion over the weekend.

I actually like every song from 1-9 except Bang Bang.

I was expecting Only God Knows top 10 at least, its not even there, I guess only god knows where it is, pardon the pun :D

Was it added to iTunes? I couldn't find it this morning.

God Only Knows seems to be able to buy physically and also streaming but not to buy digitally yet it seems, someone has screwed up somewhere

YG at #2 on UK iTunes, what a world we live in. Bobby Shmurda next plz ~

I can't recall the last time the iTunes top four was this bad. :puke2:

 

It's a shame as it's been such a good year up to this point.

It reminds me of when that stupid '5 O'Clock' thing did so well initially a few years ago, but that left as quickly as it arrived. I hope this has the same fate.

God Only Knows is now on ITunes...

#114 God Only Knows

Ah, so it is indeed credited to 'Brian Wilson & Various Artists' - I suppose that's fair for Brian Wilson to be credited separately as he has marginally the most vocals on the track and is also its songwriter but I don't like the 'Various Artists' credit. 'The Impossible Orchestra' was a good name, wish they had used that.

I guess a little bit too late to do 100K this week and take the number 1 spot...

Yeah surely far too late, I doubt it'll have much streaming either as most people will support it through purchasing only.

McBusted's pre-order up to #14 now! :yahoo:

 

:drama: :angry:

 

Not only have we got the WORST iTunes top 4 of the year but now this is looking likely to be a number 1 next month......

 

Praying for Avicii to stop this getting to number one, everything about this makes me cringe

Hozier could well repeak this week - its at 29 & 61 on itunes and rising further on spotify at 23!!

 

Did Ben Howard promo anywhere the new single I forget where we were is up to 42 now, last i seen it was just top 90. Is it just as a result of radio 1 B listing?

It's not in any way 'looking likely to be a #1' (yet) - this is exactly what the last McFly lead single did and it only got to #6. They have a very big fanbase, iy's not going to cross over and be a massive hit unless radio pick it up which I don't see happening.

It's just an amazing song!! :o

53!

It's just an amazing song!! :o

 

I know its annoying that radio 1 dont show more support 5 weeks on the B List isnt enough. Dont think any other station supported him (although im not sure about XFM etc). Thanks to Jolols Holland for giving him the promo he needed to help it into the top 40 on itunes properly!

I can see radio picking it up personally, and its hard to compare this release to the last McFly one. For a start this release has a major record label's backing compared to McFly releasing their tracks through their own one. Plus this track literally has so much hype. Yeah, the last McFly one was caught up in the hype of McBusted forming and had a strange McBusted version on sale, but this will be publicised very well, I think.

 

Also worth noting that they have a lot of friends and fans in the industry willing to help to promote both the single and the album too, which I'm sure will help. This album has been penned with people like Mark Hoppus from Blink 182 (who has already tweeted his followers asking them to purchase Air Guitar), Alex Gaskarth from All Time Low, the Madden Brothers etc. etc. Plus looking back at who were tweeting about McBusted last year, I wouldn't be surprised to see the One Direction & 5 Seconds of Summer lads tweeting about the single, too, which would be huge promo (and particularly useful with the 5SOS market, given the sound). Even Ed Sheeran tweeted his excitement about them last year, so who knows. Will be interesting to see the impact the VEVO lyric video debut will have tonight at 8pm. They've been trending since the single was announced yesterday, too.

 

Interesting that the single will be available to pre-order worldwide too from tomorrow. Guessing they're going to attempt a "10 years too late" Busted jump across the pond at some point.

 

EDIT: Plus we are talking about a band that at the last count in June, had the 29th highest grossing tour worldwide this year, selling 320,000+ tickets. & that was before the Hyde Park gig. All of those tickets were in the UK & Ireland only.

I've downloaded 'God Only Knows' I think, but it's not showing up in my library. Fantastic. (I think this is just an issue with my computer though as since I updated iTunes the other day it keeps carshing when it attempts to connect to iCloud. Hmph)
