What the Future Holds is #1 on iTunes!

Kworb:

 

1. 1.0000 Steps - What the Future Holds

2. 0.4961 Miley Cyrus - Midnight Sky

 

*.*

Still itunes number 1 which is great.

Its holding up really well on itunes.

Impressively solid for its first few days.

Is any promotion upcoming for the single?

What the Future Holds is #75 in the midweeks

Good they got a midweek if nothing else.they should release a physical.

I'm impressed with that tbh. They will very likely fall out by the end of the week but considering they released on a Wednesday they will have lost a bulk of sales towards a chart position there, and older acts just don't chart well with streaming on the singles chart.

Is their any possibility they could achieve a Top 100 placement?

I can’t see it.

What the Future Holds is down to #93 in today's mids. 2,462 sales, with 1,141 of that being downloads.

 

The video streaming figure for it in the midweeks is suspiciously low (out of the Top 100 songs, it's only the 98th most streamed video, with 3,097 streams, everything above them has tens of thousands of streams)

Is that from the Youtube official video? That doesn't make sense at all, it's on well over 200k views, all within this chart week. There's no way only 3k of them are UK views. No way.

 

Not that it'd make a huge difference to their overall position, as it'd probably only equate to a couple of hundred extra sales.

 

I'm really disappointed in those sales. We know they sold less than 2k last week, while they were iTunes number 1, as WAP sold 2k and was 3 spots higher on the sales chart.

 

So, just over 4k sales in nearly a week? That's so low.

4k is low but its not bad for Steps either, its kinda following a similar pattern to Kylies say something, steps arent a singles act anymore despite releasing just as good singles as they did in their hey day, i think most are just holding out for the album now.

Unfortunately would be far from the first time the OCC have clearly omitted some video streaming sales - the video streaming chart is often riddled with obvious errors.

What the future holds is currently #13 on the Scottish charts it peaked at #10 last week. Wish that were it's UK position :lol:

Great they are still top 25 on itunes.

With scared of the dark going top 40 I'm disappointed they havnt had a top 100 yet with this album especially when the songs are so good and doing well on paid for sales.

 

It is disappointing and unfair, but the charts have changed (again) so much since 2017, just look at Kylie for example. I think the days of Steps going top 100 are over, but I am sure they will shift a fair amount of albums and do a successful tour.

WTFH Would have entered top 100 if it was released on Friday. It was at no 25 indie singles for it's first 7-days chart week, that's actually close to official top 100. Those two days sales missing made the difference.

I don't think these first week sales were revealed, unless anyone else remembers?

 

 

The Last Dance (#57)

 

^ What I do know is that a week later, Mariah Carey - Charmbracelet sold 19,000 copies to peak at #52. So maybe 15,000+?

Monday - #79 - 548 sales

Tuesday - #94 - 588 sales (+40)
