10th July?!? shit, that's a massive mistake - there's no way Avicii's gonna beat Little Mix to #1.

 

Hopefully one of the two change their release date. Preferably Avicii, I think the best time for him to release is 5th July, in that case it would have to beat the following notable new releases...

 

Conor Maynard – Royalty

David Zowie - House Every Weekend

iLL BLU feat James Morrison - Lonely People

Sam Feldt feat Kimberly Anne – Show Me Love

Years & Years - Shine

 

...which should be easy, plus by then Tinie/Jess' sales would have died down so the #1 really is Avicii's.

That's that then for Avicii :snif: at least not as unlucky as Hey Brother (which was topped by Lily Allen's big seller which was pretty unlucky :( )

pre-order update

 

50. Are You With Me - Lost Frequencies

 

This is actually available to download now on Amazon - and it has sold ~100 copies through that platform this week already.

I'm praying Zedd doesn't join the #11 club on Sunday :(

amazing to see Are You With Me taking off so much now, it's a certain top 5 hit now when a few weeks ago I was questioning if it would even go top 40! I can't see it beating Tinie and Jess to the #1 but it should be big

I'm praying Zedd doesn't join the #11 club on Sunday :(

I've got a feeling 'Pretty Girls' will peak there too.

I'm praying Zedd doesn't join the #11 club on Sunday :(

 

Don't worry, it's more likely to be #12 (or lower) at its current rate of sales. It was the twelfth biggest song yesterday for example.

Utterly pointless for the UK ~ the whole aim of the Global Release Day was to ensure material is released within 24 hours worldwide to cut piracy ~ with record companies here continuing to hold back releases they might as well leave it on Sunday/Monday tbh~ :wacko: :angry:

 

Moving the release day to Friday, while persisting with the repression of tracks/albums for months, is just moving the day for the sake of it - it serves no purpose here. <_<

I think it's more to benefit albums than singles really! Now, albums will be out on the same day worldwide, rather than several days before in Ireland (I know I've illegally downloaded albums upon Irish release on the Friday). I agree though, singles really could be using a similar template :drama: First issue is radio playlisting OA/OS songs on time though and not upon impact date 2 months later lol.

At least this debate seems to have moved on in the last 2 yrs!

That's true, I wonder if the worldwide release date of albums will be pushed back to allow the pre-album singles to be held back in one country tho ~ otherwise they'll have to hold them back as well! :drama: :lol:

:lol:

19. Can't Feel My Face - The Weeknd

31. Fire Under My Feet - Leona Lewis

55. Uma Thurman - Fall Out Boy

songs from radio 1 + 2's playlist not in the top 100

 

132. Coffee (F***ing) [feat. Wale] - Miguel (also #301)

180. That's Alright With Me - Andreya Triana

202. Talk About You - MIKA

209. Regret - Everything Everything

210. Déjà Vu (feat. Sia) - Giorgio Moroder

268. Better Man - Leon Bridges

283. Bros - Wolf Alice

334. I Am a River - Foo Fighters

335. Hourglass - Catfish and the Bottlemen

362. Silent Movies - Madisen Ward and the Mama Bear

392. Perfect Love Affair - Shaun Escoffery

435. Montana - James Taylor

473. The Wolf - Mumford & Sons (also #860)

502. You Are Unstoppable - Conchita Wurst

579. Stuck In My Teeth - Circa Waves

613. 10,000 Emerald Pools - BØRNS

652. Search Party - George the Poet

720. Torn Apart - Enter Shikari

791. Satellite - Nickelback

1160. Livewire - Oh Wonder

1213. Ong Ong - Blur

1277. Don't Wanna Fight - Alabama Shakes

1411. Trouble Is As Trouble Does - Striking Matches

I find it odd how artists Radio 1 hammer like Foo Fighters, Catfish and the Bottlemen, and Circa Waves don't do better with singles. I suppose it shows that stations like Capital and Heart are more influential and it's not the be-all-and-end-all if a song isn't playlisted by Radio 1.

If you don't mind I've added the release dates (according to iTunes) :D

 

Great idea! I'll do that going forward :D
