did i say anything about westlife?

please give me the link tothe full chart

You usually do! :lol: This is just a polite warning, end of subject :D

Just ordered Sugababes - GHs :cheer:

Fantastic Mikey, and if you're liking Easy you should enjoy Good To Be Gone, it's kinda electro-indie sounding

 

I ordered it last night from Play.com and also U2 on the sly, I genuinely couldn't decide between U2 and Oasis :lol:

Gonna go slightly off topic here, but I think good to be gone is amaaaaazing!

 

It took me a while to like easy, but GTBG was instant for me!

In a perfect world, All Saints would be #1. -_-

Not just cause I am a fan but I truly think their album should really be well received since it's frankly a really good piece of work. I really think it's one of the coolest albums released lately

 

But being more realistic and speaking about how the charts are really like, I hope they finish at least inside the TOP5 with pretty consistent sales of over 55k. I think Sugababes might end up at #1 for sure but I dont know what to make of George Michael's GH :huh:

What ARE Wollies on?! The albums - Simon Webbe top 2?! George Michael #1? I dont think so! :lol:

 

It will be the Sugababes, surely?

 

As for the singles, I think Akon for #1 :( :( and how can they not stock Snow Patrol yet again?! :rolleyes:

I don't see why they would stock Snow Patrol. Chasing Cars proved that the majority of their sales are digital and will sell hardly any physicals.

I just got the All Saints album-great from start to finish...a deserved No.1 but I really wonder if it will actually do well...

Does anyone know how Woolies decide whether to stock a single or not? Apart from whether they think it will sell, are there any other factors? For example the Madonna single - it was pretty much guaranteed to go Top 10 and yet they didn't stock it. And yet they often stock singles which they think will enter in the low Top 20! it would be interesting to know if they didn't stock Madonna for some other reason apart from not thinking it would sell... what makes their minds tick?!?

basically they have their own chart, and put tracks what sell instore, Dazzle can explain it more than me.

They're just stocking it so people can buy it. They did the same with the Arctic Monkeys NCQ EP earlier this year!

 

well it would be daft not to stock it just because it cant get in the real charts.

well some of the artists that appear (and do badly in the prop charts) will have promotional deals with the firm going on.

Well, I don't know for sure but I think the main factor is their predictions of how they think songs will do. If they don't think they'll sell enough, they won't sell it. Also past performances are a factor - so if something hasn't had much promo, they may still sell it if the last single was big.

 

I'm sure the record companies bribe them or something. They've sold all Keisha White's singles despite only one of them going top 20!
