From memory Girls 1st week sale was around 17k (or 27k if we count physical release week as 1st wee ). It never climbed higher than #3 on itunes. Single sales are 30-40% bigger than this time last year, GS is getting a combined release which tends to increase 1st week sales and they're already 2 on itunes so i'm hoping for more than double what Girls shifted! they need to clear 80k!

I've kept a record of the first 4 weeks sales of recent Sugababes songs.

 

1st Week, 2nd Week, 3rd Week, 4th Week

 

Walk This Way

 

#1 51,500, 23,000, 10,077, 5,688

 

About You Now

 

#1 34,068, #1 54,788, #1 48,715, #1 40,738

 

Change

 

11,912, 12,416, 8,318, 6,932

 

Denial

 

9,580, 12,956, 8,312, 7,115

 

Girls

 

16,898, 23,697, 27,544, 16,947

 

No Can Do

 

4,802, 12,890, 6,826, 5,093

 

 

So I'm hoping for around 70-80k first week sales.

I think it will outsell all of those songs in first week sales.

Interesting how No Can Do sold more than Change and a little less than Denial did in its peak week yet didnt even make the top 20.

It's also being advertised on Windows Live Messenger:

I have a feeling "get sexy" will be no2 by the weekend. Its still no2 on itunes.

It's also closing in on number 1 too! It will prob be number 1 by the end if today!

It's SO close!

number one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!YEAH YEAH YEAH

Whoop :cheer:

 

I expect it to be 3 or 4 in tomorrows mids with an outside chance at being #2.

 

As well as being #1 on itunes here is it's other download positions

 

HMV: #58

Tesco: It's not yet on as they do it weekly.

Amazon: #1 and #39 on amazon album chart

Play.com: #12

it's also #10 on itunes album chart.

Well, at least it should do better than Girls :cheer:

I really have no idea what's going to happen with GS.. it's #1 on iTunes but it's only just got there plus it's so close to falling to #2 :( the top 3 this week will be VERY close but hopefully Sugas will be on top :D

I think it will end up at #2 come Sunday, which is a shame it should be #1!

How is it close to falling it's only just overtaken so it's bound to be close.

Sexy right NOW!

Anywhere in the top 3 will be an excellent achievement no doubt it will be really high sales too.

yeah i'd be happy with somewhere top 3, nothing below that though lol

Incase anyone is worried about the competition with Jay-Z, here is the list of where they both are from other sites:

 

iTunes:

Get Sexy #1

Run This Town #2

 

Amazon:

Get Sexy #1

Run This Town #7

 

HMV Singles:

Get Sexy #2

Run This Town - NO PHYSICAL

 

PLAY.com

Get Sexy #12

Run This Town #16

Anyway, Run This Town is about to overtake Get Sexy... This will be VERY tough!

Sugababes 'Get Sexy' are down to 2, Jay-Z is #1.
