Union J won't get to number one unless their single shows up on streaming, last time I checked it wasn't available

 

I don't get why people keep saying that. They wouldn't do that well on streaming anyway so they're only missing about 3 or 4k at best.

It is a silly move not to be available to stream, but it's not like they couldn't get to number 1 without it. It all depends on how they keep selling during the week.

But as little as that could easily be the difference between #1 and #2. We've seen what's happened with Ed Sheeran and Taylor :o

Either way, it's going to be close.

It's out on the 14th, this has been posted somewhere :P

 

Re the Ella Yours new single bundle.....

 

Who said its the 14th? What would the point of that be?

Even if it ends up somewhere in the top five it would be result for them. Their highest charting single was at #6 I believe?

Yeah Union J's lack of streaming isn't really that relevant, they'd get no more help from streaming than Take That did last week. They'll be #1 if they have a big initial lead and hold up fairly well. With their physical sales and whatnot I suspect they will have a pretty big lead in the first mids, quite possibly enough to secure #1 in the sales chart this week... so we are back in the position of a potential streaming-affected #1. *dramatic music*

 

Kinda hope they do get it just for the hilarity of them getting a #1 when One Direction couldn't this year. Obviously 1D are still way bigger overall and 'You Got It All' is not likely to hang around for THAT long (though I'm sure it'll have better longevity than any of their previous singles) but still! The song isn't bad either. And like, it'd be a more ~interesting~ #1 than just a return for Ed as much as I still like 'Thinking Out Loud'.

 

Ugh at Ella looking like potentially stalling at #11 :( She is still in dark green at the moment but there's a gap of 0.08 to overcome still. (Then again she did gain 0.06 in the last update so maybe she will close it...)

It looks like this is the week when UK chart history will be made regarding the singles chart.

Most surprising iTunes number 1 ever.

Spectrum says hi x

And last year didn't "Let's Get Ready to Rhumble" and "Ding Dong! The Witch Is Dead" make iTunes #1? :lol: They were very surprising!

Really pleased for Union J. Hope they have a shot of making it officially. They need this to hang around for a bit and become a real hit though.

Spectrum says hi x

 

That wasn't really a surprise seeing as the sales were off the back off a highly anticipated remix by Calvin Harris.

 

Had the actual slowdown original made it then I think maybe it could lay claim. BU tI don't think anyone was expected UJ to have such a big increase post XF performance. Everyone thought it was probably going to be Ella reaping the biggest benefit

Btw is it just me or the "U got it all" video isn't on Youtube anymore? I can't find it, link anyone?

Nope. They've made it "private" for some bizarre reason :huh: And obviously not on Spotify etc...

 

Oh and can we all not forget that Ella HAS had a big increase... just because she isn't top 10, doesn't mean she's had "little impact". The song (and album) have received a massive boost!

Yas The Pogues sleigh that second top 100 entry (se they can finally be accurately compared with Mariah ~) They also have a third version at #706 while Mariah could never even have a third version top 791 (that is as far as LPB has loaded) *.*

That wasn't really a surprise seeing as the sales were off the back off a highly anticipated remix by Calvin Harris.

 

I remember some people thought the song wouldn't even go top 40 (which I think was silly, since given how high the original was on iTunes before release, it was obviously going to get top 40 with the remix getting released, but I don't think many people expected #1). Also, I don't think Capital FM started playing the song until after it got to #1, so it got there just from Radio 1 support really.

So will this be the first time The Vamps have been #1 on the sales chart if it gets there on Sunday?

Pleasing for Union J! Hopefully they achieve some longevity with this single.

It's easy to say that retrospectively but I don't recall anyone thinking it would even be top 10. It really did not seem to have the hype behind it.

 

OT: I see you used my festive name suggestion Jay *.*

I did indeed! *.* Although Haus through shade at it earlier, so you may need to have words with him later. :o

Nope it will be added to the main version which is just UJ by themselves

Wow! that is unlucky for The Vamps :lol:, i'm sure their time will come though.
