If they had just reduced it to 59p this week then they would've had a guaranteed top 40!

I think so too! They released a remix version this week at full price too and they usually always release addition versions at 59p.

 

They have announced 2 HMV single signings which will happen on Monday and Tuesday but they are wrist band events so will probably only generate 250 sales at each signing. With lack of streams and the single starting to fall again on iTunes I really don't think the physical bundle and signings will be enough.

Honestly it's way too early to call at this stage anyway. We'll see how the video exposure + continued airplay affects it on iTunes during the week much better than on a Friday night.

I love them and I'm loving this, but I honestly don't see a real recovery from here. I think 2013/2014 was an entirely different landscape that they found advantageous but in the current climate... I'm gonna be honest, much as they're lucky to still get this mainstream support nobody outside those who are truly invested is really supporting are they? (Kills me to say it, but it's true). Therefore, I'm going to say #42 will be its remaining peak but I suppose it may acclaim a better cumulative total than 'Wake Up' did?

 

Btw, is this from an intended 3rd album or is it testing the water? I'd love a 3rd album, I've really enjoyed what they're offering.

Third album! Currently expected early next year. They've got arena tour dates around May so should be out before then :D

#13 in the mids today :D

#13 in the mids today :D

Shock of the day! :drama:

See how much it falls before Friday.

It will of course fall but I Found a Girl went from being like #20 on Monday to #30 on Friday so if this does the same kinda drop, it will still be in the chart's full play zone on Friday, which for me is an amazing result.

The book was out a few weeks ago! ^_^

So was that post

 

:basil:

:lol:! That's what happens when you read Buzzjack before you've fully woken up :drama:

Currently #20 - Was hoping it would stay Top 20 which seems unlikely now however pleased that it's made the Top 40 as I didn't think it had a chance!

Great rebound up to #26 and continuing its erratic chart run (42-75-80-24-41-26), wish they had kept it at 59p for another week though but streaming seems to be taking off so could keep it Top 40 for a while?

I should think so!! Amazing result, really goes to show how important Hot Hits UK is if you want a streaming hit! 59p for one more week would've nudged it back into the play zone although it could still manage that next week :o

This is the probably the best thing they've ever done.

Just certified silver :cheer: Deapite a shaky start this has been a solid seller - greatly helped by streaming! Would have loved it to snag a week Top 20 but seeing as it's now in freefall on iTunes it looks like it won't happen but still majorly impressed by its chart run 42-75-80-24-41-26-27-29-28-28-33-28-31.

Despite its low peak, its probably one of their biggest hits.

It was basically added to Hot Hits UK way too late, if it had been added to it a couple of weeks earlier it would have had a much better peak.

 

Yeah, I'd say it's their third biggest hit after Can We Dance and Somebody To You?

I'd say it's probably bigger than Somebody To You, or not far off! It's certainly having more longevity than all bar Can We Dance, and is likely their biggest streaming hit to date.
