Will Doing It pre order show up in the album or single charts on itunes? They should be giving the remix away for free. So stupid of them. They also need to get it on Spotify, like now.

 

The video is being released today - hopefully that will help.

Since there are 2 tracks I imagine on the album chart but it's not charting there either oops

 

What kind of floppyness

It'll still be on the singles chart!

 

Eeek at the campaign though, it really needs to be pushed back a few weeks :(

Doing It will appear on the singles chart as a pre-order, it only appears in the album chart if it has more than 2 tracks.

 

No idea why the label think putting the pre-order up for £1.98 with a remix is a good idea though, that'll put off people who only want to preorder the original.

I think it's dependent on whether the item is tagged as '- Single' or '- EP'. Non-UK example, but Flume & Chet Faker's 3 track EP 'Lockjaw' displayed as 'Lockjaw - Single' on iTunes, and EP sales were combined into 'Drop The Game' (track 1/the single from it) on the iTunes charts here in Australia. EPs tagged as singles don't happen often so it's hard to be sure, but I've assumed that's the case ever since.

Yes, I think this is correct (I've definitely seen 3 and even 4 track 'EPs' being combined to the first track due to being tagged as singles).

Yeah I agree also, I remember The Saturdays' All Fired Up was tagged as "Single" and had three tracks on it, and it got combined with the track on the feed.
I don't think 'Doing It' having a 2 track single will necessarily impact its sales. It will just have a sales pattern for the week more reminiscent of how singles rose before single track pre-orders grew in popularity. Actually quite good that it's gonna be a bit more unpredictable! I remember 'Feeling Myself' was doing worse on pre-orders than 'Ready For Your Love' due to a multi-track pre-order last year (although I think that was £1.29 though).

Is 'Doing It' by Charli XCX not up for pre-order, or is it just flopping horrendously?

 

It's up but I assume the price is putting people off. Not in the top 1500

It's not even top 1,500 in POP, that's even after the video release a few hours ago. It's B list on Radio 1 and Kiss are playing it a fair bit too. :(

Has GRL's 'Lighthouse' preorder dropped out the top 1500?! :( really hope it does well

Yep :( I assume it will pick up if it gets any major airplay. Joseph's hopes not mine although I'd love them to do well obviously :kink:

It's at #645 in pop which isn't that far from the 1,500. Hopefully it will get some support. It's still doing a lot better than Charli XCX which is starting to get major support, had a video release today and has Rita Ora on it -She's only at #965 in pop.

...but also £1.98 so not really comparable. :P

I still would have expected slightly better things!

Is "Sea Creatures" by SOAK on the iTunes chart yet? I think it went OA/OS yesterday, but I can't check iTunes at the moment.

 

Yes, it's up. Heard it on Zane Lowe's show yesterday, very easy listening.
