It will depend if they bought the single for more than 40p?.

Thanks for your contribution to the thread. :puke2:

Thats a pretty silly statement. Are artists only judged one week of sales now? :rolleyes:

Really? Give it 4 weeks and im sure Rihanna will have sold more. B)

A lot better than some of the rubbish at the top of the chart recently.

Can you blame here for being annoyed at having less backing than Cheryl? Nadine is the lead singer of Girls Aloud yet Cheryl seems to have got everything handed on a plate to her. I hope Nadine gets a decent position come next Sunday, top 5 at least.

Quite an intriguing week, should be 3 or 4 new songs in the top 10 this week.

Nothing will sell the 400,000+ needed for a Christmas number one apart from the X Factor or something backed by a facebook campaigned. The problem with facebook backed singles is that last year there was one big campaign for Rage this year there seems to be several so all the sales will just get spread about.

I see the effect of the X Factor push are wearing off already. Cant be long (48 hours) before Rihanna goes to number one. Your right, I have a grasp full of straws right now. :naughty: This thread has always been pathetic and tedious, im just trying to keep up that tradition.

Just comparing last year's sales to this year's predicted sales. Do you not agree with the facts then? LOL. Did that hit a nerve? :dance: I would love to see her release a lead single without an X Factor performance and without the X Factor being on. Then we would see how popular she really is. There's promotion and then there's promotion that means a shower of $h!t can be released and get to number one. Not that I am calling "Promise This" $h!t. A role-model to young girls, like attacking people in nightclubs? And, Ive found another word to describe the two songs mentioned, average. :cheer:

That would be quite a come down from last year's lead single. FFTL sold 290,000 in its first week I think.

Amazing that Rihanna is actually closing in on Cheryl. If Cheryl hadnt had the X Factor slot or Rihanna had performed too then RiRi may have had a chance of getting a number one this week. Tells me that Cheryl isnt actually that huge as some make out. :naughty:

Yeh thats very likely. :rolleyes:

Im sure we will all know about it if it does. :arrr:

The album isnt commercial anyway. Its kind of folk music which isnt anywhere near mainstream. Ive heard two songs from the album and its very bland and not my cup of tea at all. Hopefully, the lack of success that this album brings will make her next album more mainstream and get her back to releasing tracks like "Crazy Chick" and "Call My Name".

Why is it desperate though? If you can get more people aware that you have an album out on ebay than on a TV or Radio show then surely ebay is the better option. Plus, the fact the newspapers reported it is just extra publicity.

I dont see anything wrong with that. Its just the same as going on Daybreak or This Morning to flog a single/album. Ebay would probably get more visiitors than those shows get viewers anyway. Also, what does saleing mean? :lol: Ahh Ok. Thanks.

I dont know where you have got a September date from because the single was due to be released today. I was just wondering if it was able to be downloaded.

Are Charlotte Church and James Blunt out this week?

Dont give yourself false hope. Its never gonna happen sadly.

Im expecting it to be pretty close between the two then the inevtibale huge increase after X Factor. I would love to see how she would do without an X Factor performance for a single that hasnt been released yet. Im guessing not that brilliantly.

There was no reason why I thought she couldnt. She was good looking, young and had a huge hit. ;)

Not entirely true. The media keep her in the public eye so her fanbase dont forget about her. The only reason she is so well known is down to being watched by 15m people each week on X Factor. Before she was a judge on there, her popularity/reputation was not even a fifth of what it is now. She was just a member of a quite successful girl group before. If she stopped being a judge on X Factor she would soon lose her current level of celebrity. To make this anything to do with Itunes, surprised to see Rihanna on top.

I think most people do have soem sympathy for that. However, my gripe is how much the media think the sun shines out of her arse. They make her out to be some sort of wonder woman when yet shes just a good looking, average singer. Her success has been down to the amount of publicity she gets, not down to talent.

Having a new number one every week devalues the concept of a number one. Plus, you end up with very forgettable and average songs getting undeserved acclaim.
