March 21, 20233 yr His CD’s will end up being around 10k+ ? :sick: Miley to drop a flowers remix with every huge female superstar please
March 21, 20233 yr Third I’m on about songs of his that only went top 20 and missed the top 10 Edited March 21, 20233 yr by Hadji
March 21, 20233 yr Lol you've been here 20 years and still don't know what top 20 means!!! the Ed song will be huge. The album is a sorta acoustic and produced by Aaron Dressner (Folklore, Evermore) but the lead singer is by Max Martin (Baby One More Time) so obs super commercial
March 21, 20233 yr Tbf Bad habits underperformed week one and only just scraped number 1 in week 1 (before going on to hang around forever) so I get the argument that the new one might not do phenomenal. However this is the most promotion he put into a song since TJATQ so either way he gonna fight hard for it
March 21, 20233 yr Lol you've been here 20 years and still don't know what top 20 means!!! What I class as top 20 are songs that only peaked between 11 and 20. Anything higher, I class as top 10
March 21, 20233 yr By the same logic, Queen only had one Top 75 hit! :o (Love Of My Life - all the others went Top 40) Actually they had 55*, and you can rate them all here: http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=261366 *56 including double A-sides
March 21, 20233 yr Wow you managed to plug the Queen rate without even going on topic Jim! :cheer: :D
March 21, 20233 yr Headlines being the Spice Girls only top 20 hit! :lol: In all seriousness, I think there's like a 0.1% chance of a brand new Ed Sheeran lead single not debuting at #1. Especially when the bar is only going to be like 55k and he's got however many thousand signed CDs to factor in too. Plus he's all but admitted this is the track off the album that is purpose-built to be the monster hit. Maybe it won't be as big of a seller as Bad Habits or Shivers in the long run, maybe the first week album sales will be another decrease. I can certainly see that. But him going in at #1 fels unfortunately all but confirmed.
March 21, 20233 yr I could definitely see the Ed song not being AS big as Bad Habits/Shivers, but I'd be surprised if it didn't get at least a few weeks at #1. To miss it entirely would be surprising, not least because it's only currently having to compete with a 10 week old Flowers.
March 21, 20233 yr The worst case scenario (or rather best depending on how you look at it) I can see for the Ed Sheeran single is having a big selling opening week with the physicals factored in and then coasting along at #1 for two or three more weeks with not so stellar sales until another huge hit comes along or something gets big enough to overtake it. But equally I wouldn't be surprised if it stays there for 9 weeks.
March 21, 20233 yr What I class as top 20 are songs that only peaked between 11 and 20. Anything higher, I class as top 10 This is the oddest post I've seen on here for a long time :lol:
March 21, 20233 yr OK he'll get a no.1 if he goes hard for it but this year all the biggest hits have been by females (Miguel excepted) plus the gap between eras is too small. So might not last long
March 21, 20233 yr Predicting it to hit #1 or not is one thing but I really don't think it's worth speculating on the song's longevity before we've even heard it?
March 21, 20233 yr I’m pretty sure Ed will go #1 but I’m surprised his last song missed the top 40 Are you on about the song that was recorded as a tribute to his friend who passed away which got its main promo on Loose Women? This is the lead single from his next studio album, hardly a comparison.
March 21, 20233 yr What I class as top 20 are songs that only peaked between 11 and 20. Anything higher, I class as top 10 You should ask The OCC to update their definitions.
