Sadly its not the 90s or 00s (when alternative rock or un-poppy dance could do well) and pop music or dance pop does tend to do best these days on sales. :( The subtitle reflects the acts who will do best based on prediction.

Explain Mollie King's inclusion on her release week then :kink:

 

09. Olly Murs - Grow Up

 

Actually doing slightly better than I thought it would be at this stage. Where did 'You Don't Know Love' get to on release day?

Why is janet devlin going the wrong way....

I actually think it will outperform 'You Don't Know Love' in the long run - and that's even without the inevitable X Factor performance!

Mollie Kings former band has an.entire forum dedicated to it on Buzzjack so any new release from her was bound to make the subtitle.

 

Her release didnt do well because it didnt recieve much AirPlay iirc.

#5 in a slightly lower sales climate, they're doing practically identically right now which is good to see - I hope it can continue to climb :D

1333. Kaskade & deadmau5 - Beneath with Me (feat. Skylar Grey)

I think that new Mø track is one to watch over the coming weeks/months - banger after banger at the moment.

 

Not feeling this new Bruno Mars track as much as I'd hoped. We all knew it was going to be something similar to "Uptown Funk", but this doesn't seem as strong. A grower perhaps?

08. Olly Murs - Grow Up [i'm expecting it to go top #3 on iTunes tomorrow following X Factor promotion on the TalkTalk ads, it's a shame because the song is incredibly disappointing]

11. Zara Larsson - Ain't My Fault [Disappointed to see this dropping so much, I'm hoping that she manages to get a new peak next week but she doesn't seem to be increasing as fast on Spotify as I expected, I thought it would go top 10 but now i'm expecting a peak of around #11-13]

Downloaded sermon by James Arthur - I think his album is going to be brilliant!

Why is janet devlin going the wrong way....

 

This is the usual way with Janet's music. She starts well through pre-orders, then falls for the rest of the week on iTunes.

 

The main reasons for this are:

 

1. She's an independent artist who has a limited budget & receives no mainstream airplay. If she received radio play she'd easily make top 30 at least.

So her sales rely in the main on her core fanbase.

 

2. Janet sells through her own website.

I'm not sure how much of the sales traffic goes through her site instead of iTunes, but she was offering signed polaroids & photos with digital downloads through her site.

 

3. Janet's fanbase is based on her social media presence, and is very international.

She has more US fans than UK fans, and was in New York for a gigs, interviews and promo last week.

If somebody told me a few weeks ago that James Arthur was going to chart better than Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars...well, I'd have pissed myself laughing :rofl:

I would really like to see this do something!

Bruno bright green - could well climb to #2. Olly seemingly recovering from his late night drop, should stabilise around the #8 and #9 mark.

 

17. Craig David & Sigala - Ain't Giving Up

 

This is still climbing steadily - a top ten soon?

The KDA track is TOTD today as well although I won't think this will do much on weekends.

Craig David at 15 combined
