18 Taylor Swift - Blank Space

 

That's a Video Effect! Her best pop song ever or something!

Ah, the rush to avoid Band Aid, poor Ed. At least he got one week

You Ruin Me top five

Wow, there's a real shake-up in the top ten this week. Hard to believe that just yesterday at one point or another Wake Me Up was as low as #19 whilst Real Love and I Don't Care were both #2 at one point now to be found at #6 and #7. Really glad for The Veronicas.

 

Definitely not a boring chart this week.

 

Indeed for the first time since Aug we have a Shake it Off free top 10 :o - sales at No10-6 last week were 24-30k which is quite low so lots of movement is good to see this week :)

That's a Video Effect! Her best pop song ever or something!

 

Big boost! The last video effect that big was probably "Black Widow".

30 Marina and The Diamonds Froot :arrowup:

 

top 30 go Lambrini Diamandis!

Just to clarify (and it may be a stupid question), 'Froot' is definitely eligible this week right?

 

If so, I'd like to see it go top 40 but I can't imagine it'll hold up.

OK then, let's sort out this mess of an iTunes chart. Of course, all instant grats now chart solely under the single purchases, so I've colour coded these separately and not given them a position, because who knows what they're selling individually at this stage.

It's the only instant grat isn't it? so it counts? I know the rules changed recently though. What's the deal?

If I understand it correctly, every instant grat is now chart eligible, but only with sales that was made separately from the album. Purchases by pre-ordering the album do not count.

Oh, so pre-order sales don't count even with the first song?

Yeah that's correct! The album pre-orders don't count for the first instant grat now that the sales can be separated.

Feel free to correct me if I've missed anything :lol:

 

Oh gosh, that's such a mess :lol: I wish they had separate charts for instagrats and X-factor songs. Would clean up the chart quite a bit and they could still include the eligible sales of the instagrats on the main chart.

I had assumed 'Froot' was released OA/OS and made no impact at all for some reason - odd to see it doing so well when 'How To Be A Heartbreaker' did pretty much nothing!

 

Kendrick Lamar holding up way better than I expected so far, looks like he should be top 30 at least :D

VERONICAS! YASSSSS!!!

 

Great to see Marina doing well too! :wub: most exciting chart/shake up in weeks!

Marina has just premiered the music video for 'Froot' and it is f***ing sensational http://i.imgur.com/hN9L5Hj.gif

 

Hopefully it will give the song much deserved boost now on iTunes http://i.imgur.com/hN9L5Hj.gif

Oh, so pre-order sales don't count even with the first song?

iTunes doesn't report instant grat sales anymore, that's why.

 

 

You Ruin Me top five

You do realise it was #4 yesterday, so it's actually starting to fall.

It's to be expected when they belatedly threw in the pre-orders which boosted it from #10 to #3 in the early hours of this morning.

I think that would've happened anyways due to streaming.
