I'm not sure where Leona's new single will chart at, the original pre-orders had it in the high-70's directly after release for a good couple of days, then it remained around 250 for a couple of days, then it dropped out never to be seen again. Then it was pushed back, now it's been brought forward, I doubt she's got any promotion lined up for next week, but I can see this peaking around #10

 

There's no way on earth it will get that high now. Maybe low top 100.

Yes, which means the other stations will see it as a flop and there will be no way it'll get any further support. What a mess up for a big comeback. Looks like the only way she'll ever see the insides of the top 40 again is if One More Sleep gets reduced to 59p this year!

 

I do like Lawson, I really do, but Capital playing them and not playing Tulisa / Conor Maynard makes no sense to me. I hate how the station supports an artist constantly and drops them like a fly the next minute.

I was going to say that Capital had a vested interest in Lawson, but actually I was getting them mixed up with the Wanted, wasn't I?

 

I think the other problem with that particular comparison is that there are other possible reasons for Conor and Tulisa to have career difficulties. Conor faced the usual problem for teen-oriented acts in that the audience moves on so far, and it's at least possible that some of the people who bought Tulisa's music have been put off by her image problem. I'm not saying they're right or wrong, just that it happened.

Capital very much do have a vested interest in Lawson, that's the only reason they have had any success at all. They're signed to that Global Talent thing that also runs Capital. Hence why Capital have spammed the shit out of all of their songs, including their debut when no one knew who they were.

Global Radio.

 

They also own Heart (aka most of what once were the independent commercial stations in south UK) and XFM.

There's no way on earth it will get that high now. Maybe low top 100.

 

I honestly think it might do a Lay Me Down and miss it completely.

Is Stole the Show actually happening?? Downloads gaining now.

 

On the pre orders - Dj Freshs new one doing awfully. I really think the download phenomena is starting to become irrelevant now!

not sure how DJ Fresh flopping on pre-orders is due to downloads starting to lose relevance. The song just doesn't sound like a big hit, at this rate it'll probably miss the top 40 (what a major ooops moment that would be after the success of 'Gravity')

Mercy by Muse reacting well to radio 1 B listing after one day so far!

Sorry I meant pre orders are becoming pointless, you might find the new dj fresh rises when it's released, they just give you a small boost nowadays.

Oh it was both of them then. I should have trusted my memory.

You've been barking on about pre-orders being the death of downloads and pointless for as long as they've appeared in the singles feed (at least). I'm not sure 'becoming' and 'nowadays' is the right terminology there. :lol:

 

On a separate note, I finally listened to the latest Rixton single and was surprised at how good it is, is it too much to ask for it to be a hit?

'One Last Time' back in the top 30! Come on Ariana. Grab that top 30 peak officially!

It seems especially to be the case in 2015 with most preorder sitting between 150-1000 until a few days before release. Just seems stupid with streaming becoming so dominant!

Pre-orders do matter, if a song is at #1496 an hour before release, it's not gonna be a hit is it.

A lot of songs recently have been lowish (though not as low as 1000) and have risen higher than expected!

This has been out on a remix EP that was inadvertently released before the single release.

 

'talking body' teas

New Rudimental single out on June 4th according to iTunes? Can't tell if that's an error. It would've done next to nothing chart-wise anyways so I guess they may as well just throw it out there ~
