lol sorry i totally forgot about About You Now hahahaha

 

To be honest, I was quite surprised at the success of All Saints and Atomic Kitten, with sales like those I wonder why their careers dropped so quickly....

52 -- Today -- 3,699 (Melanie B ) [#41]

Its strange how a song at #41 will sell a significant amount more in 2008 in one week than a 2005 song would in it's entire career.

Well... it's entire career was basically 2 weeks (41-99-out), lol.

 

It was a single with no promo, no airplay, an almost amateur record company behind it... even Melanie didn't take it seriously.

Amateur Record Companies? :lol:

 

I was referring more to how sales have risen. ALL weeks this year at that position would've surpassed those sales in one week, aswell as many other songs towards the bottom.

definitely, sales in 2008 are HUGE compared to those in 03 and 04
