To be honest, I don´t care where the single charts as long as the album is selling... This week it climbed more then I expected. I hope it goes Top 40 next week. With the new chart rules singles will be back at the slow building chart run era, and chart positions for rock acts will become more and more meaningless, just like in countries like Germany or Australia, where many acts can do well with a modest Top 40 hit but a big selling album.

I don't actually follow other countries charts but yeh suppose you're right.

I mean Evanescence are a fanbase act really with the singles. Only a dedicated few people will buy the single each time and I've noticed this a lot with bands in their position where on the physicals they would be 10 or so places higher they are pushed down by downloads. 'Call Me When You're Sober' for example would've made #2 in the UK if downloads hadn't been added.

But it's like - when you really love a band or a song you want it to get the recognition it deserves not barely make an impact on the chart and be outsold by $h!t dance and RNB c**p and songs released 4 years ago or something.

But I think it´s more of a recognition for a song to make an album go platinum, or even make an album sell 4 years after its release (like Fallen), then a mere Top 10 placing that will be nothing in a few months. McFly might have loads of # 1 singles but how many people remember their songs, and will their albums still sell 4 years in future?

Yeah I agree with that too. I guess it really is all about album sales nowadays.

I still like to love songs though as at least you can say well that one song is very good whereas an album may sell millions and have 1 good song on it.

Well it's gone up a few places again this week, so it's all good.

 

Lithium hasnt charted though and JoJo has :(

Expecting quite a low chart position for Lithium which is such a shame.

 

Lithium is out today people! Go out and buy!

I hate Jojo. She also scored a big hit in the UK a few years ago but she won´t shift albums, she´s not here to stay.

where do you all predict for the single?

outside top 40?

hmm, ill be buying on saturday

I predict about #22. It hasnt done too well in other countries. It deserves top 10 though. It just hasnt had enough publicity, although this week it has been advertised in HMV and Kerrang!

 

Im doing my part and bought both editions of the single. I lovvve it *Adds to collection*

The only songs out this week to make top 75 last week were Winehouse & Freemasons so it's not boding well :(

Woolworths are stocking it #24 with The frickin Cheetah Girls higher ffs :rofl:

I got my copy from HMV anyway :wub:

Grrr Leicester is so $h!t - they're only stocking the 2 track one <_<
