August 19, 20168 yr Author Finally hits the top 20 at #19 this week :D In other news, it's now notched up a fourth week at the top of the airplay chart and he's just confirmed the first TV performance of this will be on the launch show for Strictly Come Dancing on 3rd September!
August 20, 20168 yr The remixes are good - They should have kept it at 59p for another week to stabilise it seeing as it responded so well, streams have not improved that much and can't see the remixes giving it a huge boost so will probably start to free fall again but pleased it managed a Top 20 peak at least.
August 21, 20168 yr Author Beautiful acoustic performance for Radio 2 in Edinburgh: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0457n7w
August 21, 20168 yr This has done OK so far, but I'm presuming that 19 will be its peak. Such a shame it didn't get any higher though, as it is definitely one of his best songs to date!
August 25, 20168 yr Reduced again to 59p on iTunes - They should have left it at that price last week, it probably would have kept him in the Top 10 and not put the song into free fall on the charts.

I did see that. They should keep it at that price for after he's performed it on the Strictly launch show next Saturday but whether they do is another thing entirely. In other news he's revealed the other day that the fifth album now has a title and it has numbers in it. Cryptic!
September 11, 20168 yr Author Nice to see they kept it at 59p for last week and got it to its new peak. He performs it again on The Jonathan Ross Show next Saturday but I think that'll be the last lot of promo for this single given he shoots the video for the second one this coming week!
September 11, 20168 yr I was hoping this would break the Top 10 how it's been flying high in iTunes lately, but I guess #15 is the best we can ask for.
September 11, 20168 yr I was hoping this would break the Top 10 how it's been flying high in iTunes lately, but I guess #15 is the best we can ask for. It could stabilize a bit this week and stay Top 20 - Streaming is not budging on this track though, even after his promo, radio play and the fact it's been bouncing around the charts hasn't stimulated streaming, think he will struggle with any post album single success tbh.
September 12, 20168 yr It is looking good to remain top 20 this week. Streaming is totally gone against him as he is isnt gaining. In terms of actual sales (paid for) Olly will sell as much as Drake's One Dance. When compared in those terms it shows how streaming has far too much of an influence.
September 26, 20168 yr Certified silver - at least it's racking up some sales dispite it's erratic chart performance.
September 26, 20168 yr Author Certified silver - at least it's racking up some sales dispite it's erratic chart performance. I know I saw that! Really chuffed for him. Which just goes to prove a lot of my thinking that chart positions aren't even all that these days. Hopefully the second single (out very soon indeed I'm told) will be following its success.
September 27, 20168 yr This single really does show how irrelevant the charts are becoming, based on sales, Olly has sold very well with many more left to come but it doesnt reflect in its chart peak.By the time the single leaves the chart it will have built up reasonably impressive sales.

Same thing with Little Mix and some of their recent singles. Nowhere near top 10 but the likes of "Love Me Like You" are among their biggest sellers!

You are aware that Love Me Like You (and Hair for that matter) went to #11. 'Nowhere near the top 10'...? 11 is as close as you can possibly get to the top 10 without being top 10.
