The problem is if they leave the UK they face that they could slip under everyone's radar and become irrelevent. They're hardly in a position I feel where they have a guarenteed demand when they come back.

Can't help but think what they could be reffering too. "Such a big year" in what respect? After 'On Your Radar' flopped alongside with 'My Heart Takes Over', are they suggesting that they've been given another chance for another album orrrr? A tour perhaps.. even though they used the black curtains of doom orrrrr? First thing that jumps into my mind is a Greatest Hits. Which is justifyable. They have a solid collection of singles.

It was just an unfortunate week to release on. You can't go blaming tv shows or other artists, because at the end of the day it's the public that buy the records, and the people who baught Pixies song off iTunes had the chance to download any other song they wanted to in the top 10 if they had seen it on the front page. They wanted to download Pixies song instead. Face facts.

It's not dead certain though.

This makes me very sad that Notorious hasn't even out-sold Forever Is Over. :mellow: Just shows you how (my opinion here) the public's attention for them has just droped like a stone after Chasing Lights.

These countdown things with the sales attatched never seem to be that accurate do they though sometimes. They can always be 10k hit and miss I find. Depends when the show was put together though, these figures could be a few weeks old. Nice to see some updates on their older hits :)

I wish people would stop pinning the blame on prime time TV shows for the failure of The Sats singles. The shows didn't want them! Not alot you can do about that.

They only came back off their holidays yesterday! On another note though, I remember when they went to send Higher to stations, the girls tweeted that they had to actually play the record to several stations in order for them to play it. I don't know if it's like that with every single.

Oh I know, I'm not suggesting it's like 10k off from passing the 200k mark :lol: It could be as little as 2k like you said.

Yes but everyone's forgetting this "8k at #75" lark is not typical. It's the post Christmas gift card boom. It would have been lucky to have been selling 2k some weeks..

It's been over-estimated. No way had it sold 15k whilst out of the Top 100 in 5-6wks.

That's the boom in sales for you :) Always happens this time of year because people have gifted music or gave iTunes vouchers for Christmas. Great sales for a #75! Will clear 200k sales next week then. It's a shame because we're hyping the "they're going to pass 200k = Saturdays achivement" because 200k is quite easy to clear these days. :(

If i'm being honest, I think that 4.5k is a little too generous.. <_<

When does any fan of any artist really know what's going on? It might have not been decided, there may not even be one

It's probabbly done around 6-7k I'd say :) Fingers crossed for another week in the Top 100 next week! I think it's having a revival not just down to the 59p effect, but most likely New Year's parties.

They're hardly going to go out of their way in their holidays to anounce a fourth single are they..

Jay might be able to tell us on Thursday.

At the end of the day, if their label/management or the group themselves can't be bothered for whatever reason to actually get the group together and make a new cover instead of using random shots from different photocalls etc then they obviously weren't that bothered about the release. It also adds fuel to the fire about the rift rumors. A cover can say a lot. Anyway I don't see what relevance N-Dubz have in this forum so let's move on :)

Depends how you measure success. For example all I'm aware of N-Dubz success is that they've sold over 1m albums and they've done a sell out tour? Post-N-Dubz is a different matter however. I don't really find the comparison justifiable. There's many reasons why the N-Dubz Greatest Hits album didn't do well... a) The cover. Members photo shopped together from different photo calls - hardly says that this a 'peacefull' group worth investing in. b) There was no promotion - unless you call Tulisa being a judge on Xfactor 'promotion'. c) No single (that I'm aware of) to actually promote the record d) The negative press 'they' get. 300k in 2008-2010 was an achievement. Not so much nowadays as it's quite easy to clear anywhere between 200 and 300k in a matter of weeks.

098. All Fired Up 232. All Fired Up 554. All Fired Up 376. My Heart Takes Over Thanks for that Jay! :) I thought there may have been an over-estimation. 10-15k out-side the Top 100 does look a bit steep looking at again now. :blink: 190k give or take then :)

Pleasantly surprised! It's sold about 15k out-side of the Top 100 for the past 5wks. Not bad!

Has it really sold that much out-side the Top 100? :blink: I'd say 200k is definitely achievable in the next two weeks then :dance: 200k is safe ground for The Saturdays. It's funny because although some people worship Notorious, when other people see that it's only sold 180k they go "flop". With 'All Fired Up' i've always found it the other way round; That people aren't that fond of it, but when they see it's sold over 200k they'll go "They did well with that". :lol: Album sales are awful. The past 2-3 for any artist trying to break the market has been difficult. If The Saturdays had released Chasing Lights just a year later they would have been dropped. They where very lucky to get their 'break'.

The thing with this group is that they hop sounds that much to stay current, always jumping on some sort of band-waggon or new trend. But who isn't? The sad thing is, if they did something on the lines of a promotional track with Do What You Want With Me next year, the whole dubstep think could be water under the bridge. It's what has happened to the dance genre too. I hope it dies a painful death next year because it's just grating now. :( Yeah that one too! 'Promise Me' isn't one of my favorites off the album, but it's still not a track I skip on the album (Infact I don't skip any tracks, apart from I Say OK now I think about it). There's something about 'Promise Me' that has JLS written all over it. It sounds really JLS esque. I know some people have also noticed it as well. There's just something about that opening chorus and the melody and structure of the lead synth. :wacko:

I don't think it will pass 200k, this week anyway. By week 9 the total was 174k. We've been left in the dark a bit with sales estimates since then, and there's been 6 weeks after that where they've been in the Top 200 (week 10 to 15). This week will be it's 16th week in the Top 200, hopefully it's 11th week Top 100. I'd say it's done a maximum of 10k out-side the Top 100, so I think by the end of this week it will be on a total of 190k give or take.

Yeah I agree. Does anyone think that Do What You Want With Me could have some success as a single or a 'promotional track' ? I think it's very current, more current that dance material they've done.
