May 2, 200916 yr It's really killing me, knowing that just ONE show on Jono Ross or Paul O'Grady THIS week would have given them a boost into the Top 10 and PROBABLY WOULD have actually landed around number 8 :( WHY isn't the tour helping out as much?! :( I thought it'd have a BIT more impact than it currently is doing :(
May 2, 200916 yr I wonder why 7Digital reckon it's eligible, in light of actually seeing said promotional link? lightyears, there are ways of saying things without being completely rude. Colin is not a "timewaster" for not knowing chart rules inside out - it's trivial knowledge. Talk about childish and dismissive behaviour, "lol".
May 2, 200916 yr It's really killing me, knowing that just ONE show on Jono Ross or Paul O'Grady THIS week would have given them a boost into the Top 10 and PROBABLY WOULD have actually landed around number 8 :( WHY isn't the tour helping out as much?! :( I thought it'd have a BIT more impact than it currently is doing :( The tour might be the reason it's #11 instead of say, #13. That might be the extent of its impact, you never know! It's unfortunate they've toured Ireland this week - if they were currently at the bigger UK venues this week, then they could have reminded the crowd about the single there. They mentioned it in Belfast, and while Belfast is UK, it's a smaller venue and it probably won't translate into too many sales, than say a gentle reminder at London's O2 :(
May 2, 200916 yr Its so hard to say if TV would've made the difference, and then you'd need to reduce sales for the tour boost etc etc. Its maybe just the way it was gonna go based on public tastes/the song. Maybe if you updated your banner from the loving kind to untouchable the extra promo would've done it Jay! :rofl:
May 2, 200916 yr all this is true, but if 7D erroneously transfer the data to the OCC including these downloads with all other sales, they may count anyway. They may not have a mechanism for separating them, or may not be bothering. Unless OCC can somehow spot it, they could count (even though technically they shouldn't for chart purposes) They offer loads of free downloads! So, they will have mechanisms to sort this out! This is a deal between 7D and Virgintrains...so you honestly think measures wouldn't be put in place..as this measure could seriously skew the chart and have entries from loads of weird things which wouldn't make it! This sort of stuff has to be reported to the OCC. Also most importantly the free voucher codes, differ from the normally paid ones! Haha You have to ask yourself, this has been known since, Tuesday on GA sites, their 11# on downloads and No.1 on physicals...you would think if this was working, they would be alot higher than 11 (seeing as data is sent to the OCC on a daily basis). As people would be making different emails to help get loads of sales, lol! What's to stop a group of say a 100 people making email accounts all week, and getting Busted to no.1, through FREE vouchers. I.e. this whole notion is ludicrous! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
May 2, 200916 yr ^^ once again being unnecessarily rude. Perhaps it is these downloads that are helping GA get to #11 on downloads.

You ever heard of a Generic response?!?! <_< .....probably automated, and he probably couldnt even respond back to the particular msg! The answer he posted, is what Ben and I can see, it refers to paid vouchers, which of course count! And, I called him a timewaster...cos he is just wasting people's time, it's clear this is a load of rubbish :rolleyes: The stupid thing is, instead of helping he might be having an adverse effect on their sales. Because if I already had their album, and was gonna get the songs of iTunes..and read this pile of sh!t, i might decide not to go with iTunes and get all my sales through this "free" way...as I still would believe I was helping..just not emptying my pocket. And so when these sales don't count they will have lost a few. These idiots themselves, could have cost GA a fan-made no.10, lol :lol: I gave him better advice :wub: , make different itunes accounts etc and just pay for it, if he's that bothered to keep " :cry: " everytime he sees their chart position.
May 2, 200916 yr ^^ once again being unnecessarily rude. Perhaps it is these downloads that are helping GA get to #11 on downloads. *Sorry, combined on all downloads sites they are now no.13 The would be alot higher tbh! I know tonnes of people who have already done this, for their sins! <_< A few of them have made multiple email accounts :rolleyes:

May 2, 200916 yr how do you know they are no13? <_< Ethan, does he's calculation from data received...works it out based on the last 6 months data. It's been very accurate so far, lol!
May 2, 200916 yr Ethan, does he's calculation from data received...works it out based on the last 6 months data. It's been very accurate so far, lol! Well the midweeks have been very accurate so far and for them to fall to 13, they would have had to stop selling completely. You just said that for the sake of it to be contrary to someone. Untouchable is safe at no11.
May 2, 200916 yr I havent made my prediction yet. I predict Top 20, with a prediction of #11 :kink: Damn you're good ^_^
May 2, 200916 yr #11, #13, whatever... it's still really good. I'm happy for them. I know it's gonna break their Top 10 record but come on, not even global megastars can do that these days. ;)
May 2, 200916 yr Hey - at least Colin shared the code with us! It might not count towards the chart, but 3 free downloads are 3 free downloads. I bought 3 Beverley Knight songs I didn't have with it. I'd say this is a certainty for #11 now, especially with Lily going up on iTunes after last night on Jools Holland. At least Lily might climb above #10. Being kept from #10 by a former press rival of Cheryl's would have made it a whole lot worse.
May 2, 200916 yr Its a shame girls aloud's run will end but i really dont think they will mind, no11 is actually much higher than i thought it would be! I was saying for weeks that it wouldn't have a chance at top 10 but its only gona miss by one place! And i was also proven wrong about the radio edit too, its been a while since ive seen a radio edit climb into the itunes top 40 like that. And lily's song is very good, it deserves to keep climbing.

May 3, 200916 yr To the people who said that 7digital thing didnt count - erm, its number 4,5 and 6 in the 7digital chart (with all the three versions) - make up your own mind :)

BTW as far as I know 7Digital don't have a big share in the sales :(
