Well they have a Live Gig tomorrow, Radio 1 are broadcasting it at 7pm, No.3 on Itunes Download chart, and they did 2 track performance on Jonathan Ross Show last Friday that's if Rihanna does not make it to No.1 next Sunday, it could do a Gnarls Berkley and go straight in at No.1 on pre-release (download sales only)

 

The official release for the single is May 1st

Possible, getting a lot of coverage and still a week to go before any of the sales are going to have meaning.

I think its gonna be huge and seen as itunes are also offering the fact that if you pre-order the album you get the single free, that will help its sales and I think the song will be big but the album will be miles bigger.

I cant see how the sales of the single will be chart eligible. One important rule is that a sale, even for downloads, must be a genuine purchase and in addition must not dependant upon the purchase of another product. It would appear that giving away the single breaks both those guiding rules.

 

would be good though

ITunes has done this offer before, but it stops the week a single becomes eligible for the charts so it wont fall foul of the rules.

i LOVE the red hot chili peppers (goin2see the for the first time in july!!!) but i really cant see dani california being that huge, i think itll go top 5 easily but most fans will wait for the album and also i mean its one of the worst songs theyve ever done, the chorus is $h!t, the video isnt that good, i mean the songs only good bit is the final guitar solo...its a really forgettable MOR single...i hope the album is a lot better, tbh half of BTW was quite disappointing

^ and plus a lot of people i know inc die hard fans think DC is pretty $h!t...

Don't think it'll be No.1 at all but the album sure will be.

It'll be close, but i reckon Rihanna will clinch it as she'll have physicals behind her

Very little chance of it going to number one I'd say.

It deserves to go to #1 but I very much doubt it.

 

There seems a lot of bias against ROCK going to #1.

I hope they wont get no.1 :mellow:

For me, they're a certainty for top 3. All radio and TV seem to be making a big deal of it plus the mass Radio One coverage of the band won't do the sales any harm. It would be great if it gets to #1 but I reckon it could just get halted around #3.

Oh and for all you Chilli Peppers fans, please vote yes for a RHCP forum here http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=2772

 

Thanks :D

I love the RHCPs too, but I don't think this one is one of their better singles, it doesnt really do it for me - I can see the album will sell really well though, they are getting lots of coverage and people have waiting for this album for a while

Well By the Way sold 45,000 copies to reach number two in 2002. So if Dani California sales around that amount, it has a chance :)

it probably will be #1 just depends on what the other singles released that week sale.

 

though i'm not a chilli peppers fan so i don't really care if it doesn't get to #1.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i've not seen the video on tv or even heard it on the radio!

 

but with downloads, yes it may well be no.01

 

no.02 would be a safer bet though i reckon

I'd love it if they did but i can't see it.
