March 19, 200817 yr It's cool Mikal...hope we didn't get off on the wrong foot earlier in the thread. It was just that I wanted to make sure everyone was aware of the whole picture. But, if we are being honest airplay shouldnt really come into it (but it does unfortunately) cos Leona would definitely get to no.1! Nah we we're fine just having a discussion :). And I agree about airplay, its weird how her bullet is like one of the biggest on the Pop format yet it's quite low down. Don't understand that at all :wacko:
March 19, 200817 yr On the note of the US Album track listing. I'm surprised "I'm You" is that near the beginning and "I Will Be" as much as I love "I Will Be" I don't think it's wise to have two tracks play, then you hit a cover of a song and then the weakest (except possibly the new songs) song on the album. I think it might put people off if they listen to it for the first time.
March 19, 200817 yr Nah we we're fine just having a discussion :). And I agree about airplay, its weird how her bullet is like one of the biggest on the Pop format yet it's quite low down. Don't understand that at all :wacko: It means that's how much it is likely to gain if it stays at it's current rate! But, it probably will reduce it's bullet and then start to increase a lil. It will be slightly above 40 million by the time the album comes out....and with the increase again in downloads could push her to no.1 But Mariah and Usher are the dangers, as Usher has even passed Mariah now with 104 million, and there both growing by like 10mil a week (Usher 14million this week). They need to get on Mainstream more, the areas where that Sara Bareillies is doing well, that would help a hell of alot...cos if she could get to 70/80mil she would easily have a few weeks at the top...cos of the three i bet she will be the most consistent seller!
March 19, 200817 yr oooh i missed counted, stupidly counted lil mama, as going ahead of Leona....when her audience is like 9 mil lmao
March 20, 200817 yr it's great see her raching TOP 10!!! Mariah only climbed 2 places! I'm v. shocked at that!!! is that still on airplay?
March 20, 200817 yr it's great see her raching TOP 10!!! Mariah only climbed 2 places! I'm v. shocked at that!!! is that still on airplay? Yep, Mariah releases digitally in about two weeks I think....
March 20, 200817 yr Yep, Mariah releases digitally in about two weeks I think.... Tuesday Mariah will be on itunes. Hopefully by then Leona will have sold enough to secure one week at no.1 on the hot 100
March 21, 200817 yr People at pulse have worked out that if she sells 75k more than Usher this week she'll be #1 on the Hot 100. I think that's do-able since shes double his popularity bars :D
March 21, 200817 yr You are certainly right Mikal....she's on 25mil and Usher's at 100mil, so all she needs currently is more than 75k than him and no.1 is her. It's almost a given seeing how both songs are doing this week.
