Expected The Veronicas to do a little better...

They can quite easily get to 7 in the next hour as there's not much of a gap between 7-11 really.

Edited by Rob S

11. Kendrick Lamar - I

12. The Veronica - You Ruin Me

13. Gareth Malone - Wake Me Up (Children In Need Single)

I wish we knew what happened with the Veronicas pre-orders and have they now fixed the problem or did they all get lost? Now #11. Get top 10 by 6pm please!
The iTunes popularity formula thing is weighted towards more recent sales I think.

I know that there is a weighting towards more recent sales, I'm just surprised that it has had such a marked effect so early on, if indeed this is the reason for the decline.

They're not lost.

 

It doesn't matter what the pop bars show, it will be added to their sales total.

 

And the effect of adding any pre-orders to the pop bars will have worn off by the end of Monday anyway.

OK hope so, because I was worried it was like gooddelta said, that the people who pre-ordered it didn't get the pre-order.

If there was any justice The Veronicas would be #1 <3

Is there anyone on here that pre-ordered You Ruin Me who can confirm, I'm at a loss as to what happened to the pre-orders tbh. Either they weren't counted in the feed for some reason, or the pre-orders for some reason didn't work and people had to download it normally.

 

I purchased it the day it briefly went on sale in September so I can't verify what happened.

 

I know it's no huge issue and I'm sure if it was the latter people will eventually remember to buy it, it just cost them a few hours of 'top ten effect'!

On a separate Veronicas-related note though, I currently owe my life to Heart FM (something I never thought I'd say). Three cheers to them for unexpectedly supporting You Ruin Me and getting this stunning act another deserved hit :wub: I can only assume it would be about 500 places lower at this point without their constant rotation of it.

Yeah I'm wondering the same thing, but like you I also purchased it when it was originally released.

 

I'd say that the pre-orders just took a few updates to be added, but then pre-orders have never been added that way before. But at the same time I find it difficult to believe that 'You Ruin Me' would've climbed as quickly as it did today without any pre-order help considering Christina Perri's iTunes chart progress earlier this year in a very similar situation with Heart airplay and solid pre-orders.
