I think Gary will use social media alot to promote most of this campaign.

Debuted at #35 on Capital's Big Top 40 yesterday

That's not to bad, did they play it?

They did.

 

It didn't appear on yesterday's OCC top 100 update so I'm guessing it's not going to chart on Friday?

Unless a big surge of sales come you are correct.

On the week of the album release it could possibly achieve a Top 100 placement.

Isn”t the release on November, 27th?

 

Anyway, now the album is available on Amazon as well and it”s ranked 60 and 80 there, for now.

The singles chart has been a mess since they made streaming dominate a traditional sale. How a song that has spent nearly a week in the top 20 can’t chart officially in the top 100 is a disgrace

Well it takes very few sales to stay in the top 20 a week, traditional sales are still worth more - there just aren't many of them.

The traditional sales dont get enough weight, a paid for sale can be listened to as many times as someone streaming would listen to it but it counts for less. I'd love more balance but the reality is paid for sales are on the way out and streaming will take over all the charts soon.

A paid for sale also shows an increased interest in a song, since the person is willing to pay for it.

It's annoying that streaming has that much weight and people have lost interest in charts, since they are all over the place. I don't know most of the artists in the charts nowadays, cause they are always new ones.

Artists come and go alot now, its hard to see many of the acts in the charts today still been successful in 20 or 30 years time.

Completely off topic from Elita now :lol: but the ones who will still be successful in 20 years time are the ones that sell albums, there are loads of artists in the singles chart whose albums completely bomb. On the other hand, you have bands like IDLES, Catfish and the Bottlemen, The 1975, Fontaines D.C., Yungblud, Sea Girls, Sports Team, Nothing But Thieves etc selling more albums and selling out much bigger venues than a lot of the "singles" charting artists.

 

I think Sports Team in less than a year going from 450 cap. rooms to playing the same sized venues as Anne-Marie and Mabel says it all :lol:

I agree that acts that can sell albums and tours will stand a better chance of staying around. What im really not liking about the singles chart is so many songs are artists with feature after feature and i was disappointed Garys lead wasnt just a solo Gary song. Acts dont seem to have the confidence in their material to not have a feature, i know part of it is you get fans of the 2-3 feature artists streaming the song aswell and it does help streaming points.

I so agree with what you wrote feel_the_fever. Fully. These featuring started some years ago, but now it is like feature of a feature. I would have liked a Gary song by himself and I assume the next single will be one by himself. I am tired of the charts with the one hit wonders (generalized). The last song scoring there I really liked was Blinding Lights. I need a melody to hum to

Agree about Blinding Lights. Great tune. But also based on A-ha track :)

Sorry for off-topic.

 

really Alex, oh my, maybe that was what made me feel so well about it :-)

Glad I'm the only one, there was a time when a feature was exciting news now its here we go again, another one.

and isn't there a thing now whereby a song is credited to loads and loads of different people?

 

What is that all about?

 

How can you get any kind of meaning and nuance and fluidity in a song if its written by a dozen people?

 

Maybe I'm just old <_<

#26 (up 5) in the sales chart this week.

Static at #34 in Scotland.

 

Still no signs of the video.
