February 27, 201510 yr Zedd's had worse release strategies though. His single 'Find You' premiered over a year ago, and still isn't available to download on iTunes :lol: It is however on a few compilations, but album only. I doubt it'll ever get released now unless it's on his next album
February 27, 201510 yr They weren't great but I wouldn't say 'non existent'- LFL reached the top 200 when it was first added (and got the occasional boost here and there), i'm pretty certain the single version would've jumped into the top 40 if its pre-orders were added Comparing it to say, Amelia Lily's 'California' preorder; I'm pretty sure that went similarly high on iTunes initially and then dropped down, occasionally bobbing into the Top 1,500, but usually remaining nowhere to be seen! Iirc, that entered the iTunes chart similarly low upon release and then climbed up a bit in the first couple of days (due to being the only version available). I'd say Madonna's isn't climbing at all because there's already a much more visible version in the Top 10, so people don't really need to search for it or trawl down the chart to find it much lower!
February 27, 201510 yr 06. Madonna - Living for Love 10. Sam Smith - Lay Me Down (+ #39) 11. Axwell ^ Ingrosso - Something New 15. Ed Sheeran - Bloodstream 16. Paloma Faith - Only Love Can Hurt Like This (+ #88)
February 27, 201510 yr FFS, Sam Smith pushing Axwell out the top 10...though I never expected Something New to have done as well as it has done Shame Madonnas dropped to 6, serves her right for not releasing this on Sunday
February 27, 201510 yr Yay for Paloma. Was by a large margin the best performance on Wednesday so rightfully benefitting hugely. Would be nice to hear it in the chart after a while actually. If it makes it which could happen!
February 27, 201510 yr Zedd/Selena isn't out til May 10th. TWO AND A HALF MONTHS!! I think that's one of the longest pre order I've ever seen. Most preorders are quite ridiculous IMO Ed Sheeran Sing was another one I could think of last yr! Not forgetting Neon Lights and ESPECIALLY Flutes :drama: (which to add it didn't help them very much in the chart! :lol:
February 27, 201510 yr Hope Kelly can stay top 10 for next week! Looking at the release schedule I think she'll be falling out, but only just (she'll have a second version to help her out slightly though). The top 10 contenders from the list I can see are: Marlon Roudette – When The Beat Drops Out Usher ft. Juicy J – I Don’t Mind Years & Years – King I can see Usher "doing a Ne-Yo" and starting off strong, whilst missing the top 10 completely. Poor The Veronicas though. 'If You Love Someone' is great and deserves to be a top 40 hit at least. :(

Has it even had one single play on any music channel or radio station?

Kelly's chance of staying for a second week should be helped by her album release, though I suppose streaming could still make all the difference~
February 27, 201510 yr The new Usher song was pushed to 8 March (which may give him a better shot of making the top 10)Good news, hoping for it to make top 10 along with GDFR that week! (I think) Also Alex Adair - Make Me Feel Better should (hopefully) be a top 10 hit next week. Edited February 27, 201510 yr by Rush
February 27, 201510 yr No chance. Fergie/Meghan Trainor/DJ Fresh did better overall on pre-orders and didn't even get close to #1 (sales wise).
February 27, 201510 yr pre-order update 49. King - Years & Years 105. When the Beat Drops Out - Marlon Roudette 129. Make Me Feel Better - Alex Adair 150. I Don't Mind (feat. Juicy J) - Usher 159. GDFR (feat. Sage the Gemini & Lookas) - Flo Rida 160. Hold My Hand - Jess Glynne 218. Bloodstream - Ed Sheeran & Rudimental 335. Fade Out Lines (UK Radio Edit) - The Avener & Phoebe Killdeer 392.

February 27, 201510 yr I can't believe it's actually being released, there's been nothing about this anywhere. Has it even had one single play on any music channel or radio station? Yes it did today on Wave Fm. First time I've heard it in over a month too. Oops~
February 27, 201510 yr Regarding Madonna's pre-order, it should've gone at least top 75 when released so I think there has been some issue. Diana Vickers' 'Cinderella' peaked at around #230 when first made available to pre-order and then quickly dropped down the chart never to be seen in the top 1500 again - yet it still entered iTunes at #55 when released. Surely Madonna should have managed at least that?
February 27, 201510 yr Well album pre-orders are no longer being reflected in the feed once they're released, so it wouldn't surprise me if it was the same for singles - the pre-orders didn't get lumped on on the iTunes chart (but of course are reflected officially).
