November 15, 201510 yr I wonder if Syco will be looking at the sales figures themselves rather than the chart position? I think Ben will be lucky to stay within the top 10, but whether Syco will deem that a good enough result I don't know. I think Ben has been setback slightly by not being able to promote "Second Hand Heart" by actually performing it with Kelly who's on voice rest. If she wasn't they could have done Children in Need, The Graham Norton Show and so on (providing Cowell was open to it). I'm disappointed for him but all they are doing is proving the males "winners curse". They need to rethink their strategy with winners (male, female or whatever). Going AWOL for 10 months or more works if you're someone like Adele who has a connection with people. It doesn't work with new artists. If they can't get new material out immediately they need to keep gigging, YouTube covers and so on. The record company should arrange performances at major events and so on. I don't think age has much to do with it, if so I think it's very unfair - it should really be about the material and his appeal first and foremost. So what if he's 30? Do we see this weeks No. 1 breaking 100k sales? Edited November 15, 201510 yr by Hassaan
November 15, 201510 yr Sam Bailey's album was a pretty decent selling #1 and she was still dropped within a year. Ben Haenow was never going to be a major success and he will do a Matt Cardle at the very best.
November 16, 201510 yr Do we see this weeks No. 1 breaking 100k sales? i should hope / think so, i mean i know the sales climate is a bit sh*t at the minute but least of all i expect 1D to sell upwards of 100k, justin make come close but not close enough i worry.
November 16, 201510 yr Sam Bailey's album was a pretty decent selling #1 and she was still dropped within a year. Ben Haenow was never going to be a major success and he will do a Matt Cardle at the very best. I thought Sam Bailey only sold about 150k in total? That's quite low for a number one album.
November 16, 201510 yr Eagles of Death Metal are at 96 with “Save a Prayer” in today's Top 100 update.
November 16, 201510 yr Eagles of Death Metal are at 96 with “Save a Prayer” in today's Top 100 update. Where did you see this? Also Minty said 1D are "pissing" over JB, so I guess they have some big sales coming their way. I thought Sam Bailey only sold about 150k in total? That's quite low for a number one album. It really isn't that low, these days sadly. Edited November 16, 201510 yr by Joe.
