Hmm. Or if you care that much about the charity make a donation of any amount you wish instead of paying 99p to hear a bunch of rich celebrities sing a cover of a song? :lol:

Downloaded - go Kylie :cheer:

This is so bad

Now #1 on iTunes :dance:

But some people want something got their money so if it raises the cash......

 

The celebrities probably do donate privately too.

 

It raises awareness of the charity too.

 

Love to see something like this chart etc which people are actually buying

The video will be on Children In Need tonight

With Kylie been on the charity track, shame she may be sharing a #1 with more artists though, its been awhile since she had a solo #1

I think as much time has passed since her last number one, 'Slow', as there has between that and 'I Should Be So Lucky'. :(

I know I sound like a major killjoy but it doesn't 'raise awareneness'. It's one of the biggest, most reputable charities in the UK and gets huge coverage every single November across the nation from the TV show to Pudsey bears everywhere to local fundraisers to media attention and also the charity single. It's not like it's raising awareness for some unknown disease or condition that could benefit from more exposure and public awareness like ALS.

 

I just find it so...icky that these musicians (and everyone involved) take a few minutes to record some lines for a single then throw it out and guilt trip the GP to purchase it with their money in the middle of a pandemic and mass unemployment, when a single musician could probably donate more than the entire GP could with their combined 99p iTunes purchases. :lol:

To be honest in the end its not going to raise much money for the charity, when the track enters the chart at #1, a week later drops like a bomb. It might stay a second week in the 40, it really depends on the outcome of the single.

 

Purchasing music is different than it used to be, you need to put it out on other platforms

It's a pleasant enough, but ultimately predictably formulaic, retread of a song that has been covered way too many times (is it the only post-90s Oasis single that people actually know well enough to cover? I guess The Importance of Being Idle wouldn't really work though!).

 

I feel like ever since Perfect Day they've tried time and time again to capture the magic that had, and it hasn't happened. That sounded fresh and passionate and flowed really well, whereas this sounds thrown together and like a cut and paste job, which I know these singles all are, but still...a bit more creative direction (like, how could you have Bryan Adams and Mel C on the track and not give them a line together?) could probably make it sound more cohesive.

I'm so happy I could hear Rebecca Ferguson and Kylie back to back (respectively at 2:37 and 2:40)! :wub:

it is on different platforms? i have been streaming it on Spotify this morning.

 

it entices casual public to listen, watch the show and creates entertainment on the night which inevitably gets more donations coming in.

 

who knows what popstars give to charity. they are patrons of their own charities etc and this is a little bit extra for Children In Need. Some give lots of money, some time, some their brand power.

 

no doubt it raises their own profile as well but that is like everything. individuals, companies, celebrities etc all do it.

The last 2 Children In Need songs didn't chart at all, so it will be interesting to see how this one does. I guess that all they need is 1000 fans of each artist to download the song, and they'll get the first top 10 for a CIN song since 2015!

Craig David's 'All We Needed' was robbed. :(

Stream it too!

I think this will do really well like the Radio 1 one did earlier on this year - it will just resonate with viewers on the back of an awful year plus I’m sure R2 will push it hard all week.

 

There have been 33 CIN singles, 16 of which have gone Top 10 (The Spice Girls we’re robbed with their #11 peak :drama:)
