#31 on the singles sales chart. Reckon it'll be at least top 10 and even chart on the overall singles chart if he released it on a Friday :cry:

A low Top 100 placement could be possible next Friday.

Looks like the video is coming next week as mentioned on Gary's livestream. If it releases on a Wednesday again....

It really won't make a difference what day the video is released

I'd love a vinyl or cd single for my collection.

Around 11000 sales in only 2 days, I”d say that is pretty good.

Gary does not seem concerned with the single charting and, tbh, I really enjoy not worrying about it either - it took away from the fun of new music. But, even so, he managed to sell in 2 days what others have sold in a week. If he had some promo lined up, he”d have another top 10 hit on his record.

11,000? Where is this figure from? :o

Surely he would've charted on the official singles chart then?

11,000 would be enough these day to chart? Oh my, I am old. How many does the hot shots sell like Billie Eilish or Taylor in two days? I have no idea but I guess around 100k then? Anyways Gary is right it is the album sales. I think it is risky to schedule a tour under these circumstances. Are they selling 20 percent of the arena now or 50%? I don't know about the UK but in NL and Germany there are restrictions.

Are they thinking that Covid left us until next year or is it simply the hope principle to sell more albums?

Difficult decisions for the musicians these days

11k cant be correct as that would be enough to go top 35 in the uk yesterday,must be 11k worldwide as going by yesterday's chart he sold less than 5k as I think about 4.5k was what the number 100 sold.

You can vote for Elita in Track of the Week!

I may be mistaken, but someone said that Elited charted at 31 on the singles sales chart. On the main forum, the 30th position sold around 12K - I know it”s both download sales and streaming sales -, so I figured Gary must have sold around 11k. Maybe I misread something.

 

”MoStack hasn’t had a Top 40 single as a lead artist for over a year but breaks that this week with Miss Me, which lands at No.39 (9,831 sales). Including collaborations, it is his 15th chart single all told and a 32nd for featured guest AJ Tracey.”

Surely most of those 9800 sales must be downloads, so, if no 39 sales 9831, is it wrong to assume Gary must have sold at least the same, even if he charted only on the singles sales chart? Can streaming account for that much at no 39?

I’m really disappointed by the performance of this track. It deserves a lot better, it isn’t even top 10 on iTunes

It was top 10 for the first day and a half but i expected ito be still in there to be fair.

Let Me Go was such a massive hit and this just seems to be having no impact.

I know LMG was quite a few years ago now though

 

This song just sounds so fresh and thought it would be perfect for the Heart audience with both Gary Barlow and Michael Bublé.

 

Its back at 10 on itunes, ya let me go was brilliant but i also loved face to face which didnt chart well, like many others his days of big success in the single chart are over but hopefully it will help sell the album, im sure we will get a 2nd single just before the album is released.

We can”t compare them, though. Let Me Go had huuuuge promo, Elita barely has a few Radio 2 plays, so, all things considering, breaking top 20 on iTUnes all on its own, isn”t so bad. There are still lots of fans who have no idea about the release and the song on yt doesn”t even tag the artists.

The song itself is quite good the problem is that it doesn’t sound anything like a Gary Barlow song so it could be putting a lot of Gary Barlow/Take That fans off. It sounds more like a Michael Bublé lead single. Then again what is a Gary solo song supposed to sound like as his last album could of easily been a Take That album.

I imagine the album overall will have lots of varied sounds, I'm quite excited for what's to come!

That's true it's very dif and not what you would expect from a gary barlow single, take that's wonderland felt the same and I just couldn't connect with the album at all. I do prefer the traditional take that /gary sound but il wait and see what the albums offers overall. I like elite but prefer some of his previous singles.
