What’s the deal with the multiple versions of “Somebody’s Watching Me”?

 

Strange the Beatfreakz version is nowhere to be seen on the streaming chart. Thought it would be somewhere at the lower end. Is it really that forgotten now? :o

2 huge hits should never hurt. In my opinion the songs are quite similar and both electronic and upbeat so maybe that hurt the interest in his album. One of them should have been acoustic and/or a ballad, those are the songs people seem to love most from Ed, especially the full album listeners.

Yeah with the lead up to releasing ‘Divide’ you had ‘Shape Of You’ and ‘Castle On The Hill’ releasing at the same time with one being more tailored to the younger Radio 1 listener and the other being suited to the older Radio 2 listener. Then you had the ‘How Would You Feel’ instant grat released which was perfect for the fans who like his more acoustic songs.

75 Stevie Wonder - Superstition

106 Eurythmics - Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)

 

I don't really understand why these are Halloween songs tbh. Ok maybe the title of the Stevie Wonder song but the song doesn't sound Halloween-y. I am guessing the Eurythmics one is just there becuase the synths sound a bit Halloweeny and Annie Lennox looked a bit scary in the video!

they were all on the Spotify Halloween playlist

people just search for that playlist and press play

is not that people go search for specific songs

Looking like a pretty bad album launch for Ed.

Adele is back to #1 on Apple. Normal service resumed, Ed is back to being the flop.

 

Halloween songs seem to be peaking now on Apple, 'Ghostbusters' is up to #6, 'Thriller' at #10 and 'Monster Mash' at #12 etc. so there clearly must still be quite a few Halloween parties going on tonight too.

I guess there were lots of Halloween parties yesterday

but Halloween is actually tonight

 

the Amazon chart is pretty bizarre with Cold Heart on top and Shivers down to #4

1 Cold Heart

2 Adele

3 Bad habits

4 Shivers

below those there are a crazy lot of Halloween songs

including some that are not really halloween songs (Taylor Swift-I Know you were Trouble, Missy Elliott-Get UR Freak on)

so many that Ed's Graffiti is down to #28!!
