December 6, 200618 yr Author i think the only thing we can hope for now, is that sony get some adverts on tv next week ''oral fixation featuring db, hdl and the new single illegal'', like they have done before. but i am optimistic about this release, i mean the media does weird things and big city radio corp could start playlisting this. they only started playing hdl abuot a month AFTER the cd release, and they do it with alot of acts. also christmas is a busy time, so it could catch on in jan. I also think this might pick up in January when there's that lull with no new releases.

December 7, 200618 yr Can it be that after a massive hit which spent like forever hanging on the Top 3, the followup will bomb outside the Top 40? With HDL still hanging on the Top 40 after centuries of release, can it be that the new single will not even outsell its predecessor on the release week? I think that´s what happens when you take more then half a year gap between 2 singles, specially when the previous single was a super catchy song and the followup is completely different and just "regular". It is all to blame on this stupid strategy of milking one song for 10 months, and then release a weak track ages after.

We all know that she's made a mistake waiting so long to release such a weak single. But this'll still sell more than HDL next week. It doesn't really matter now. Shakra is already the biggest selling artist of the year and has a one of the biggest selling tours of the year as well. It would've been nice for this to do well but if she refuses to do any promo anywhere - then what can she expect other than a flop.
December 7, 200618 yr radio#2 a listed!! great but radio 2 listeners don't know how to download! and they aren't really single buyers lets see if they buy it next week we are being realistic we know this is going to struggle, this song doesn't have any back up support promo wise from sony (well not yet i'm hoping tv ads are coming next week), shakira can't come here for promo work, its airplay is not as strong as other artists cause radio#1 won't play her she will tour here no question about that, but i'm hoping sony goes with a 4th worldwide single and not give up on OF2 cause its full of uncommercial tarcks/non radio friendly songs
December 7, 200618 yr do ye think it will boost album sales again? I think it would have already started to happen by now.. maybe if the song goes top 20 *prays* erm i think if she releases GOOD 4th single.. you all know which ones i thinnk it should be out of then i think album sales should rise alot... but she only released 3 singles from LS in the uk even tho WW sold 500,000 and UYC and O did ok.. so she might not release anything else.... i don't think they were gonna release anything after dont bother over here... lucky that HDL was such a huge hit across the world which allowed it to be released over here... but waiting 6 months plus for a single that most fans thought she should have never released is a bit of a joke... she even doesn't sing it on her tour.. so why is it being released?
December 8, 200618 yr ffs i don't see the point in the radio 2 playlisted. illegal is a-listed and its only been played once or twice throughout the week! while nelly furtado's all good things on the same list is played on nearly every djs show, every day :angry: i know because on the bbc radio 2 website it has history of every that has been played during the past week, on dj pages...

I know... But she's only A list from today untill next Friday so hopefully she'll get a lot of spins throughout next week.
December 10, 200618 yr #94 :unsure: Download only HDL got to 54 i think and then charted at 3... so top 20 is possible... she has a fan base in the uk.. they just need to come out 2moro... i want top 10.. but top 20 will do :( radio 1 didn't mention that she was out 2moro grrrr and hdl is the longest charting song of the year -_- illeal needs to be top ten so that we cna get a 4th better single
December 10, 200618 yr im suprised its as high as 94, but its still an ok position. anyway, im expecting a top 30 position, ill be buying the single one day this week. btw, may i ask what you guys want for a fourth single? i want timor, but wont happen :cry:
December 11, 200618 yr How do You Do, but thaty wont happen either :lol: :( I think the most probable choice is Hey You
December 11, 200618 yr just found this.. Six other releases, including tracks by Polydor’s Fergie, Girls Aloud and Snoop Dogg, and RCA’s Shakira, would also have made the Top 75 a week ago under the new rules, but were excluded because their physical releases were more than a week away this wouldnt be illegal would it :blink: :unsure:
