Interesting and brave decision from the record company, I don't think it'll be quite the massive walkover that others anticipate because "Uptown Funk" will keep a 20-25K advantage thanks to streaming (which will take a few weeks for Ellie to replicate if it is as big a hit) - plus its high pre-order position is very much boosted from the fact that sales are continuing to dwindle away. E.g. "Shake It Off" which frequently shows up at around #10 on iTunes is only selling ~1.5K/day.

 

She should debut at #1 though, and be in for a fairly lengthy run with total sales stabilising when streams catch-up with the initial pure sales boost.

The thing with this song which most songs don't have to their advantage is that it's already #9 in the worldwide streaming chart on Spotify, which is the reason Firestone, Cheerleader etc are doing well on streaming, a lot of people just play songs they see on the worldwide top 100 list - so I imagine it'll be able to catch up to Uptown Funk much quicker (perhaps Blame-like speed) than your average one week #1 wonder.

Nice to see Kylie top 30, shame about the Friday release date ^_^

I know.. It won't be even close in my opinion... LMLYD will be super huge and maybe her biggest hit.. I just want to know if it's up for streaming or not...

 

You make a good point tho, streaming will be very important from week 2 onwards!

Any other reason why Numb is so high? Did I miss something earlier? :thinking:

Hoping the other quoted tracks here climb/re-enter :D

Nick Jonas doing ok on pre-orders so far! Now for him to come over and promote the crap out of 'Jealous'! It better smash.

18. Love Me Like You Do (From "Fifty Shades Of Grey") - Ellie Goulding [PRE-ORDER]

 

529. Love Me Like You Do (50 Shades of Grey) - Starstruck Backing Tracks

18. Love Me Like You Do (From "Fifty Shades Of Grey") - Ellie Goulding [PRE-ORDER]

 

529. Love Me Like You Do (50 Shades of Grey) - Starstruck Backing Tracks

I hope it gets top 15 on pre's! :cheer:

After listening a few more times I think I now love the Fergie track :lol:

He's performing at Heaven on Feb 14th as well as Kelly Clarkson!!!!

Oh my. Imagine if Kelly was to do Tinashe's parts on the remix of 'Jealous'??!! Haha. I think I'd die a little.

That Calvin tune with HAIM is so generic, hope its low top 10 at most. The Tinashe collab would have been a better choice

Edited January 31, 201510 yr by Paramore

In total agreement. One of the weakest tracks on the album, every time I've given it a listen I've forgotten how it goes within 10 minutes.

 

Dollar Signs would be brilliant, it would give Tinashe a potential breakthrough here too!

259. Flo Rida - GDFR (feat. Sage the Gemini & Lookas) [PRE-ORDER]

 

out on March 8, will likely be a huge #1 i'm guessing :drama:

 

on the other hand, brilliant to see Years & Years slaying the top 200 already! 'King' should hopefully be their big breakthrough by the looks of things <3

 

THIS IS A POP MUSIC EMERGENCY!!!!!

 

Love Me Like You Do is being released TONIGHT!!

1128. Daydreamer - Bipolar Sunshine

1218. Cheerleader (Felix Jaehn Remix Radio Edit) - Omi

finally Omi making some impact on iTunes! you'd think it'd be a bit higher considering it's top 40 on spotify but its airplay hasn't started yet

 

Outlines seems to be doing well now just before release :D would love it to go top 10 but it'll probably settle for top 20 which is also good

'Cheerleader' seems to be doing a 'The Days' so far. But then there's still ages until its release so I imagine it'll pick up.

 

I had forgotten that Mike Mago/Dragonette song existed, very surprised it's that high - looks like a potential top 10 for next week then. I heard it once ages ago as a prospective BJSC entry (which got vetoed unsurprisingly ~) and don't recall it being anything too special. Come to think of it I haven't really liked many of the new hits this year so far. Is this the year I become a chart music hater? (Probably not, there haven't exactly been MANY new hits yet).

the chart seems to be not as good now as it used to be, but that's mostly down to a lot of songs overstaying their welcome (hi male singer songwriter trinity)

 

nearly half the songs in my personal chart are songs that have charted or will chart though so I won't call myself a chart music hater
