Bob Geldof was on GM Britain earlier promoting the physical and on the radio this morning.

 

He was saying everyone should buy minimum of 5 copies each la la la

He's really not helping sell the single by saying sh!t like that, is he :unsure:

Urgh I hope the Band Aid CD underperforms. I actually don't think it will bring it many sales beyond the pre-orders and first day amount.

Just :rolleyes:

I am intrigued to see how the physical will sell for Band Aid 30, there is a part of me that wants to see it sell well based on the cause, but i would prefer to see the original at number 1 instead (but that is fantasy thinking, not reality)

 

Fleur still number 1, well done to her, X Factor this year is achieving its lowest ratings ever, but we get such a huge success from it, that said, had itunes availability and it having such an effect been around during X Factors peak, the same may have happened.

 

Wonderful to see Take That still holding up reasonably well with These Days.

Strange anyone wants a charity single to underperform but hey. ^_^

It looks like Last All Night (Koala) will be #1 on the download chart this week just like what Gecko (Overdrive) did earlier this year. But Ed Sheeran's streaming and Band Aid's CD sales could f**k things up for Oliver Heldens in the overall chart.

Bob is on Radio 1 newsbeat today too. Hope he continues the promo and the CD sells well!

 

Uptown Funk up to 12 on spotify today, could be a top 75 entry at least this week :)

It's one thing to not like the song / Bob Geldof but surely saying 'I hope the CD underperforms' is a little bit dodgy :unsure:

yes, here's hoping they can make as little money as possible for the thousands dying of ebola in africa, they really do not deserve that money and bob geldof is v selfish to ask for it.

The Newsbeat interview with Bob there was hilarious -

 

Bob, Do you think the lyrics of the song, that having been getting criticism are relevant?

 

"No we are writing a song to make money for people in need we arent doing a doctoral thesis"

 

It was a good interview in all seriousness, he was saying its important to get people to buy the cd as the download is 99p and they dont make as much money from that! He seems to have been better informed about how the chart works now lol!

Ha, AMAZING at Bring Me The Horizon's chart performance this week, their song is pretty great so I might just have to go buy it now (and help save it from the descent)

I actually saw the Band Aid single in HMV at the Trafford Centre on Friday, so I don't know whether it was released early or they broke the embargo. Either way I don't see it challenging for #1 again. Nobody cares. I don't even understand where the money is going this time. If it's just going towards clincial research there isn't the same motivation to donate IMO than every £1 = 1 life saved or whatever. If they can find a cure they'll do it with or without Band Aid.

Am I the only person in the world who just doesn't get the universal love for Uptown Funk? It's not a bad song, I just don't find it anywhere near amazing. Please tell me someone else feels the same!

Its isnt about finding a cure.

Its primarily about funding action on the ground to treat people, build local medical infrastructure and stop it spreading...

I feel the same way, but saying that I usually hate anything involving Bruno Mars.

Agreed!

Dont like it at all, maybe it'll grow but I doubt it.

This continued Fleur no.1 is another shock to me- alongside UJ and BMTH!!

If you asked me this after my first listen I would have agreed with you but somehow it's crept it's way into being a right earworm for me :wub:

 

Although I'm a Bruno fan so I was bound to like it eventually :kink:

I've never been a fan of Bruno Mars or Mark Ronson, but I love Uptown Funk and now know that "smoother than a fresh jar of Skippy" is peanut butter. :lol:

Yeah I'm sure it will grow a bit but I'm pretty sure I'll never love it! And weirdly, I do usually like most of Bruno's and Mark's stuff.

Well I guess it's educational if nothing else then.
