Will.i.am feat Pia Mia - Boys & Girls

All Saints to break the iTunes top-40 with the album release please! (and ofc go as high as possible in the albums but that's for another thread...)

Sia for #1 please, loving the mathematically perfect: 16-8-4-{2} run to the top and it would be the third consecutive CLIMBER to #1, which hasn't happened since 2011 (LMFAO, Bruno Mars, Pitbull - who climbed from 2, 2 and 4 respectively).

All Saints seem to be consistently climbing, they're in dark green and #45 now! If it can keep going like this and they can at least chart I'll be thrilled.

908 will.i.am - Boys & Girls (feat. Pia Mia)

1234 Laura Mvula - People (feat. Wretch 32)

 

Years & Years 'Desire' has been reduced to 59p which I think is their best chance of re-entering the top 40. I'm surprised by how much it's under-performed considering The Voice (Which provided Zara and Birday with over a 10% increase) and a live perormance on Alan Carr.

 

39. Years & Years Feat Tove Lo - Desire [59p]

112. Years & Years - Desire [99p]

#241. Katy B & Chris Lorenzo - "I Wanna Be"

 

Video released a couple days ago and seems to be climbing a bit. Hope it can get good support and become a hit!

I think it's 59p for 2 weeks now. :unsure:

It was 59p for a week, then 99p now back to 59p!

slow start for William :)

340 will.i.am Boys & Girls (feat. Pia Mia)

 

more surprised at Rick Astley being #37

 

and New Romantics #46

but I read New Romantics is doing so well cos it was not on the original album releases but only on the deluxe version??

140 NEW will.i.am - Boys & Girls (feat. Pia Mia)

 

a bunch of new remixes x Cheap Thrills has just been released today (both on itunes and Spotify), hope that helps... theres also a Spotify live session but doesn't seem to include Cheap Thrills, if I'm looking at the right thing...

Those remixes should secure the #1 spot, then. I don't know why singers don't just release 30 versions of their songs, surely that'd give them a bigger chance of number one :lol:

They have so few streams though that they weren't even apparently in the midweek top 200 so cracking the official chart looks like a huge long shot.

 

On the plus side the album looks like it will be very well received. They'll surely be the first ever reformed girl group (after a substantial break at least) to have a studio album of new material go top five? (Of all of the reformed bands over the past decade I think only Take That and Boyzone have done better with new material).

Edited April 8, 20169 yr by gooddelta

reformed James went to #2 the other day, Suede or Garbage have done well too

 

does anyone know if they're gonna push Ellie Goulding's Here to Us (from the Girls soundtrack)?? it's a great song, not on the album, so could be a nice option

Not a girl group I know but Blur returned after 12 years with a Number 1 UK Album (and their best performing Album globally in terms of chart positions).

63 +71 will.i.am - Boys & Girls (feat. Pia Mia)

Sia is unlikely to get no 1 this week if Drake maintains his iTunes lead which he seems to be doing.

I hope the streams will rise up this week with the album out! Often happens lately.

Drake still isn't on Spotify though, which could be a major factor here.
