No official confirmation about any aspect of the second single yet! Although BMG have done a Wednesday release before, with A Second to Midnight (end result: never entering the Top 100) so it’s not unprecedented.

 

It’s very :thinking: that BMG effectively throws away these first day sales… I still don’t see that it’s beneficial at all. Like you say ___∆___ doing this for Padam Padam meant they denied the song a Top 20 in debut week. Now while they couldn’t have known that it had a shot at Top 20, what they surely must know by now is that the Thursday releases inevitably make the singles chart lower than they otherwise would do. For instance Say Something having a chance of Top 60 in the first week instead of #82.

 

 

By the way I received the Padam Padam mixtape! The sticker barcode and the printed copyright info takes away from the “mixtape” fantasy a bit. :kink:

i wasnt very impressed with my mixtape but showed it to a few friends and they really liked it and said it was cool.

 

i guess 30th August maybe the date of some promo or a day she has booked to go into Radio 2 of something? Does seem a little strange. I wonder what else is out that week?

Nice coverage of PP in Dutch news again.

 

Amsterdam Pride this week and she is top of their Pride Playlist

I'm going :w00t:

 

I'll listen out for it!

No Padam Padam on Drag Race Down Under

 

Most seasons of Drag Race a filmed roughly a year before they are shown though.

Not that it matters now of course but would have entered at #18 had those download sales been it in its first full week.

I get your point completely and I think the release should be moved to Friday. However, I don’t think we can count all of the 1st day sales into the next week, as it will effectively count 8 days of sales into a 7 days week.

 

I think the more fair assumption would be to add the first Thursday’s day of sales and deduct the second Thursday, excluding the extended mix from the site of course, which would have sold on Thursday regardless. Still it would probably have been around 500-700 sales higher on the first week than it was.

Yes, that’s why it’s had an 11 place boost over yesterday - clearly the cassettes this time were not as desirable as the first batch looking at those sales though :lol:

Yep the £5 price tag (+£3 P&P) maybe a bit much for a Cassette of remixes we have probably downloaded lots already haha.

From what I can tell it has 1,590 cassette sales so far this week, which is actually better than last time? The previous cassette sold 1,504 in its release week.

Oh really. Thats cool then......

 

difference in Friday Official Charts between 32 and 40 was 2021 sales. So she may do enough!

Is that enough for Kylie to keep top 40 on ACR then? Not totally clued on how cassettes help matters throughout the week.

10k was enough for top 40 last week and looks as though she’s adding 1k a day through halved streams and downloads…so that takes her close to 9k…plus there’s the missing streaming data too, so 10k looks achievable. Hopefully it’s enough.

No doubt BMG are tracking

The cassettes have sold well, top 40 looks achievable this week so hopefully she can get it.

It's had a nice round 10 weeks, this is just a bonus week for me if it gets another.

Everything from here on in is a bonus for me.

I am more interested to see how far it can get now in the Singles top 100 sellers of the year. IF it can get there!! The more work we do now the easier it will be haha.

Agree my hun

 

Even week 10 was a nice bonus as it could have been ACR on week 10 but no week 11 hun (if my maths add up haha hun)

 

So if it stays top 40 this week then that would be a nice little bonus hun.

My 2 x mixtapes arrived today - basic but cute items I guess.
