October 13, 200915 yr Cool, I had one from Steven Fry the other day, I know it's not the same though :lol:
October 13, 200915 yr The tragic fact about this song flopping harder than fellow BJSC winner (& previous points record holder Royksopp + Robyn) is if this was the lead single by Alexandra Burke (instead of Bad Boys) it would have over 250K in its first week easy ......
October 13, 200915 yr Frankly it SO should have been :snif: I hope Alphabeat doesn't do the same next week!
October 18, 200915 yr It's all good and well for people to say the usual and predictable "she should have promoted", but as she's a new and unknown artist it's nigh on impossible for her to get spots on TV shows to perform etc. It all comes down to whether places like Radio 1 support her, which they haven't. I haven't even heard of this song outside of the internet, let alone heard it.

October 18, 200915 yr Which is why we need Top Of The Pops back NOW :( Even still, an artist like Eva wouldn't have been able to get an appearance on that unless she did well in the charts in the first place... which is the real uphill struggle.

I haven't even heard of this song outside of the internet, let alone heard it. Lets face facts if this had been a Rihanna single featuring Lady GaGa does anyone seriously think Radio 1 and UK British music video channels would have snubbed it and not put it on heavy A Playlist rotation? Of course not, which shows how depressing and narrow minded things have got in the UK.
October 18, 200915 yr It's so criminal that this flopped :( so much potential, easily one of the best pop songs of 2009. Thugh I didn't like the single edit, much prefer the demo version
October 18, 200915 yr There was a stronger drum beat and stuff on the video/radio version, heavier guitar, and some guy shouts at the beginning Edited October 18, 200915 yr by Kiseki
January 23, 201015 yr If anyone cares, here are the around-the-world peaks; Netherlands // 13 Germany // 36 Australia // 45 Sweden // 51 Austria // 55 UK // 149 Quite disappointing that the UK was it's lowest peak. :nocheer: Edited January 24, 201015 yr by Theryl Cole
January 24, 201015 yr Disappointing overall. I still love this song even if it may be generic. Don't really care it's still awesome.
January 24, 201015 yr *Starts facebook campaign* and says "Stop Cowell getting the chrimbo number 1 again by downloading this! After all, he is a 'Silly Boy'" :kink:

December 28, 201014 yr I heard a rumour that Silly Boy will we re-released in the UK after the "success" of Take over Control. Could do better but idk -_-
