Posted February 27, 201510 yr King, the breakout single from Years and Years, is released this Sunday. The song has been inside the top 100 on UK iTunes for the past three weeks, currently inside the top 50, and according to the sales information that I have alongside the most accurate estimation that I can make must have conjured up pre-orders of >15,000 from these three weeks alone. How much will it sell in its opening week? The poll options are the ones that I see as most plausible.
February 27, 201510 yr Author I can't add the poll to the post for whatever reasons -- can a mod do this, please? The options are <50k; 51-74k; 75-99k; 100-124k; >125k. Thanks. ^_^

February 27, 201510 yr I'm certain it will sell more than 100k but I'm not sure if it will sell more than 125k. I'd like to think so.
February 27, 201510 yr I think it will sell over 100k quite easily, but it will not match Ellie's opening sales week, probably around 120k (ish)
February 27, 201510 yr Author Thanks Martin. ;) I went for 100-124k myself. Ellie should fall short of 100k even with her streams this week, and I'd imagine she'll be around 80-90k next week at the highest, so 'King' should hit #1 nicely. Edited February 27, 201510 yr by MrIndependent
February 27, 201510 yr Just heard this for the first time, and wasn't impressed - sounds to me like just another samey dance track. On that basis alone, I can't give it more than 50k Edited February 27, 201510 yr by vidcapper

On that basis alone, I can't give it more than 50k It's not just about how much you like it though, Vid :P the pre-orders alone suggest it's going to sell WAY more than 50k!
February 27, 201510 yr I was thinking about the 90-110k range but I'm not sure how it will go streamwise :thinking: Edited February 27, 201510 yr by §þiŋŋiŋğ Åđɑм
February 27, 201510 yr It's not just about how much you like it though, Vid :P the pre-orders alone suggest it's going to sell WAY more than 50k! And if there had been a 'how much do you *want* it to sell' option, I might have picked differently- but there wasn't.
February 27, 201510 yr And if there had been a 'how much do you *want* it to sell' option, I might have picked differently- but there wasn't. That doesn't mean you should vote for what you *want* when it quite clearly is a prediction for what you *think*. The two are totally separate issues. I think #1 with around 120k units! Not too far off the top 40 on iTunes even with the BRITs effect :D
February 27, 201510 yr About the same Sam Smith sold on his open week for debut "Money on My Mind":- 108k Edited February 27, 201510 yr by mack25
