They'll be releasing on Sunday when they drop the new song on X Factor

 

I know, but I hoped that maybe it was all just PR speak and they'd do the sensible thing and get a full week of sales but evidently not. :(

Really hope that despite not releasing on Friday, Little Mix can do enough to go top 20, officially!

Odd decision to (presumably) release the Little Mix song on Sunday, can't imagine it'll make any difference really though as it'll probably still be a big hit

 

Maroon 5 & Vamps both going tropical in the same week lol :'''') Vamps will probably have enough fanbase buys to make the itunes top 5 briefly but Maroon 5's one i can see being properly big

111. The Vamps & Matoma - All Night :yahoo:

Edited, thanks! :D

Olly Murs becoming the king of 59p this era

I'm hoping that 'Eyes Shut' can re-enter the top 200 on iTunes, it still pains me that it never managed to go top 10 although their promotion was incredibly annoying. I remember they performed 'King' on Strictly instead of 'Eyes Shut'.

 

Olly and Zara are both 59p but are not featured in the 59p batch, it's a wise decision from Syco to reduce 'Grow Up' because the single is bombing incredibly hard, it should remain a little bit more stable now though. The same happened with 'You Don't Know Love'.

31. Avenged Sevenfold - The Stage

62. The Vamps & Matoma - All Night

106. Machine Gun Kelly & Camila Cabello - Bad Things

161. Crystal Fighters - All Night

Edited October 14, 20168 yr by ManicKangaroo

Hailee Steinfeld, NEIKED and Fifth Harmony are now right at the top of iTunes' Hot Songs list so all should see a bit of a boost!

I don't think it's a big deal Little Mix not releasing today, as it's going to be so rare in this era to peak in week 1 - unless you're only popular by name and nothing else. In which case, an inflated first week means an inflated chart position and doesn't really reflect its true longterm popularity.

 

The Vamps & Matoma sounds like a ridiculously random mash - I'll have to check that out tomorrow... haha!! That said, Matoma's remix of One Direction's "Perfect" was decent and made that song bearable. And Matoma's remix of Sheppard's "Geronimo" kind of worked too. So maybe it'll work.

Tove Lo's new single is really good.

53. The Vamps & Matoma - All Night

83. Machine Gun Kelly & Camila Cabello - Bad Things

163. Crystal Fighters - All Night

 

1127. The Veronicas - On Your Side

1204. Emeli Sandé - Garden (feat. Jay Electronica & Áine Zion)

I really think Syco have done this with Little Mix as premiering it on the X-Factor will pull in ratings.

The new Vamps song sounds massive :o
