The instant grats do my head in.

If iTunes can now separate the sales of instant grats and actual sales, then why the fuck are the album pre-orders showing up on the singles chart feed?

 

Amateurs.

Amateurs.

Because in that sense it's not a pre-order, because you pay for the song but in the end the album will be cheaper by the price of that song ;)

So which one is the first IG in the end? :D

YASS for OneRepublic :D much better than LRO for me so good to see the X Factor helping that out & yay for Animals top 20 too.

So which one is the first IG in the end? :D

 

The first one is Slow Acid. They ALL still count though when bought separately (ie. minus the album pre-orders) so it's not as if they don't count at all.

Slow Acid.

 

I've chosen to 'x' out 2nd instant grats still as not all of their iTunes contributing sales will contribute to the official chart

Oh yes, I forgot about it completely :lol:

If John Lewis are making a new advert who will be the singer it would probably go to number 1

Only allowed to be an English female, we've had Goulding, SMM, Aplin & Allen so...

 

I'm thinking Foxes/Birdy?

It's not looking good for Paloma's new single.

Foxes would be a good choice for the John Lewis ad actually.

 

Although they might choose someone we've not heard of like they did with Slow Moving Millie/Gabrielle Aplin

There's been rumours of Leona Lewis doing the John Lewis ad song.

If its Leona this forum will go into meltdown i would say!

I'm sure lots of buzzjackers would be very excited with the possibility of having two Leona Lewis songs in the chart at once assuming One More Sleep is gonna make a comeback. I'd have to hear the song before making a judgement though, Leona doesn't usually excite me but OMS was quite good

One More Sleep will most likely peak in the top 50 and not quite top 40 imo!

 

For example Christmas Lights by Coldplay re entered the chart in Dec 2011 at 62 or something like that. Although it could get heavy promo and do very well like George Michael December Song which got to No14 after an XF performance!

One More Sleep did a lot better than Christmas Lights though. It made it to number 1 on airplay and spent two weeks in the UK top 3. Christmas Lights did okay but didn't even get top 10.

 

- But it's peak generally depends on whether the radios give it the odd spin.

Yeah. One More Sleep spent some time at iTunes #1 too. I think it should be able to make top 40, especially since streaming could help her.

It's not looking good for Paloma's new single.

 

It's going to do absolutely nothing isn't it? :( No hype, no support.
