Indeed! Basically for every 100 copies sold of 'Want To Want Me', 'Bad Blood' is selling 49 copies.

 

Although there is the other version at #51 and another just outside the top 100.

who'd have thought a BGT performance to 8 million people for Olly Murs would only bump him up to #40 :mellow: I know it's a dreadful song but I'm shocked :o

That's a fairly good boost for this late a single release IMO... there have been many far worse chart impacts from TV performances (e.g. Ricky Martin just the other day).

To be fair BGT doesn't seem to be doing much for the performers on the show (Ricky Martin & Alesha didn't go up much).

I've not heard the studio version of the Olly song but the live performance didn't sell it well to me at all, it sounded pretty flat actually. I'm not surprised it hasn't had a bigger boost, especially as Seasons kinda killed the momentum of the campaign too.

Yeah but Ricky Martin isn't relevant here, he was never going to get a huge boost

That's what happens when Capital refuse to touch a song

I've heard 'Somebody' countless times and I still can't get into at all, it's really quite awful. I hope Derulo manages to block it from #1 next week - although I'm not convinced it's even in contention.

That's not really a valid excuse - Ricky Martin's song was mostly unknown to the public before Monday night and it still didn't persuade them to buy it, whereas Olly's song is on the Radio 1 playlist and is the fourth single off an album that has sold well. Relevant or not, Ricky had one of the biggest promo slots possible in the UK right now and it didn't work out.

Capital don't have to play everything you know.

He better announce single #2 soon, as Cheyenne hasn't been confirmed either

Wtf, of course it's a valid excuse :lol: It didn't work out because he hasn't been relevant in this country for years. If somebody like Jason Derulo performed the same song Ricky performed it would have received a much bigger boost, obviously

 

Jeez that Little Mix track is cheesy. Doesn't sound like a worthy #1 to me, given the stellar track we've had in 2015 thus far (bar the Smith/Legend collaboration, but that was for charity). Should have no problem reaching the summit though with low sales and lack of competition though; is Tinie Tempah and Jess Glynne's "Not Letting Go" the only track people see hitting #1 in the coming weeks?

It's not an excuse, nobody was watching it thinking "oh I like this song but Ricky is irrelevant so I'm not gonna buy it". If the performance or song connected, it would've had a bigger boost.

In YOUR opinion it isn't an excuse, in mine it is. A lot of people probably zoned out when Ricky started performing [which is exactly what my flatmate did] because he's...irrelevant in this country.

I do like 'Black Magic' but I would be disappointed if it managed to go to #01 as it doesn't sound like a #01 song in the slightest. I do think the charts are crying for pop songs right now though. 'Disco Love' would have went #01 on iTunes had it not been for new releases so imagine how it would have performed with decent enough radio airplay.
