July 24, 20195 yr Has this been certified yet? It's hung around the chart for longer than i expected.
July 24, 20195 yr last I saw she was on 50K... think it could be on 60K soon but not yet not sure why they picked Friends, not my favourite, theres much better on the album
July 24, 20195 yr just double-checked and last I saw the album was on Still on my mind [54k] so nearly there
July 24, 20195 yr Chart Run: 3-9-12-16-28-48-74-73-76-77-90-88-135-164-94-X Sales: 53,140 (w/e 27th June) Hopefully 'Friends' can get the album back in the chart and push it passed Silver. Another great single choice - one I really liked straight from release. I agree it's a shame she can't get chart hits anymore and it's particularly annoying when songs like 'Friends' and 'Take Me Home' would be playlisted by Radio 1 if they added songs on merit rather than who the artist is.
August 2, 20195 yr The single mix of Take You Home was played in the background of EastEnders last night and it reminded me of what a great tune it it! Absolutely perfect for the current music scene, if only she would actually get pushed by radio.
August 2, 20195 yr Agreed! 'Take Me Home' would sound so at home on Radio 1 yet it's still true to who Dido is as an artist.
August 14, 20195 yr I know it means absolutely nothing these days, but Friends has impacted a little on iTunes thanks to a Radio 2 A listing. Hopefully the album can keep ticking away.
August 14, 20195 yr It should help the album achieve some sales and possibly a return to the Top 100 and in the process bring it a step closer to Silver Status.
August 17, 20195 yr It’s so bad how streaming has that much of an affect that this can be that high on sales and not top 100 officially.
August 18, 20195 yr It’s so bad how streaming has that much of an affect that this can be that high on sales and not top 100 officially. It’s appalling. Melanie C was #1 on the physical sales chart with Anymore and it didn’t even chart in the top 200 :wacko: :blink:
August 18, 20195 yr It’s appalling. Melanie C was #1 on the physical sales chart with Anymore and it didn’t even chart in the top 200 :wacko: :blink: That was a single though, wasn’t it? I’m amazed that it even had a physical copy in that case. It’s definitely an issue that’s lead me to losing my enjoyment in the charts. A good chunk of the official albums top 100 probably aren’t being purchased that much anymore but the same people are streaming them or tracks from them every week and they clog up the chart. Poor Dido just won’t ever be streamed by the masses.
August 19, 20195 yr It’s so bad how streaming has that much of an affect that this can be that high on sales and not top 100 officially. They need to change the way streams are counted for albums as I feel like It’s unlikely albums what are so high are being streamed as whole albums and it’s more just due to singles or playlisting on tracks.
August 20, 20195 yr ^exactly and people like Dido are not in any playlist. The current method only benefits big names and Greatest Hits
