Encore

11.00 and EP still #1, single now #24. Great to see it rising quick, but now we need to hope and pray it keeps consistent for the next week haha. Agh!

Thanks missingyou! :D Hmm, I still think he might be, I wouldn't rule him out.. he's jumped up to #58 now (bounced up again to #52 at 10.55). Sats now #29.

That was a big jump. 38 is good! :) They're on Sunday Brunch right now on Channel 4 too. D'Banj is now at #72.

It's #101 now, seems like it may be a slow riser but it is still early morning.. hmm.:)

Urgh, really? So childish and pathetic. They've done it before too when other Sats stuff has trended - like, one time I think when something like '#itsasatsthing' trended, they all 'hijacked' it, saying stuff like 'being famous because of your famous boyfriends' (er, they were famous and successful before they got boyfriends), 'flopping all the time' (the irony!), 'using autotune', 'can't sing', 'Example is right' etc etc. I hate these fan wars, it's playground stuff and tbh it's not even The Sats fans instigating it all with digs and silly comments, it's all the Parade 'fans'! Bratty. And agreed Lee, it puts me off liking them if this is what their fans are like. They seem bitter towards other girlbands like Girls Aloud too. Fair enough if they don't like them, but it just seems a childish case of putting one down to make the other seem better. Tbh though the Parade girls themselves seem really fake and bitchy too so seems like a perfect match in their little fandom! It'll be a shame to see them win Best Band at Glamour Awards, completely undeserving of it and don't even warrant being nominated lol but their nutty fans creating multiple email accounts to vote will make sure they win. Grr, it bothers me how childish people can be. EDIT: Anyway, rising above! Single is at #105 and the EP #1. Can't see D'Banj in the top 200.

EP is now #43! :)

It'll fall overnight in Ireland me thinks, so another top 20 hit in Ireland I'd say - still nothing terrible. :) It's really quite sad that I'm nervous about this release haha, but I guess it's natural for your favourite artist. :blush: EP is currently #48 on UK iTunes, D'Banj's (probably the main competition being released this week) EP is at #71 on pre-orders.

Eeek now let's hope it pushes a bit higher! Yay!

Wishing for them not to be frontloaded with the UK release and keep steady for once (although pretty much a given with the girls' luck that they'll start nosediving come Wednesday!)

Be interesting to see whether this climbs quickly in the UK throughout tomorrow. All Fired Up if I remember correctly started at #20 or something and then leapt up pretty sharpish, whereas My Heart Takes Over peaked at #13 on iTunes and took them pretty much took the whole of the release day to get it to #13. I think at like 6pm it was still around the #22-#26 point. From what I recall, could be wrong. :P

13? Blimey! I thought it was gonna stay put at 16 and then start falling.

#20! :)

I'm surprised. I really thought it'd do poorly like MHTO did on Irish iTunes on release day. Hopefully this all bodes well for the UK release.

Seems like it's slowed down now, still at #29 and EP at #4 on Irish iTunes. :)

#29 now! :)

They should tweet, post a status on FB etc that it's out in Ireland now too. Good to see it at #42, and like you say, already doing better than MHTO but hopefully it'll keep jumping up. EDIT: Speaking of which, it's now #37! :P D'Banj(?) will prove competition next week though. His new song Oliver Twist will be big IMO and probably #1.

Yes! Mine has been too. :) I can imagine this charting at like #9 in the midweeks and then ending up at #11 or #12 by Sunday, lol.

I really hope this show helps them over there. They're really likeable, fun and 'normal' so hopefully the show will help people get to know them and their personalities without them thinking they're just plastic, arrogant divas etc. I think they'll really take to Mollie especially. Not sure how they'll get everyone tuning in for some random, unknown girlband though but who knows! :)

This weeks mailer says they're on the show and performing on the 12th...

Wish they'd announce some more promo?! So far we've just got Lemonaid on the 12th, and Sunday Brunch on the 13th TV wise I think.... unless they're just saving it for the next single? But I said that about MHTO and here we are now haha.

Weird they still haven't mentioned anything about Got More Talent. And looking through their tweets.. well, Rochelle's, they're on a photoshoot today anyway...

While it's nice to see them all over the place in the press and media at the moment, and yes it does give them a presence and make people aware of them, that doesn't mean it guarantees them success and have it translate into sales etc, it merely just makes people question whether Mollie and Harry really are dating, how Aoife is doing etc, Una/Rochelle's weddings... to the general public surely that wouldn't make them think 'Must buy their single!' etc? Although, I wouldn't complain if it did haha. 2ndAdventure - how come you know about the next single? :) Spill the beans. :P

To be honest I think this year is the final year of them being together, regardless of all this America talk. I don't know why, just a hunch. Their contract with Polydor is a 5 album deal right? The cynic and negative side of me says they're just rushing this album out so the label can finish the contract and dump them. (Probably unlikely, I don't know much about the business side of it all, it's just me being negative about their position because I don't think they're ever going to sell big, advance and keep the label happy and bring in money for the label again IMO). There's only so many chances they can get. Knowing them, if they go out there, they'll decide to make this their debut single in America. They shouldn't even bother going over there if they do. Would be funny though if they end up being more successful in America than here. Completely unlikely though. I don't think people will take to them out there, their look is too glam/sexy now. At the start of their career their look was good - they had the whole 'girl next door' and colour coded dresses thing going on and girls could relate to them easily, at the minute they do look a bit too 'boyfriend stealer'/almost too glamorous in their look. Now and again they look more like five wags than a girl group. I dunno, just a thought. It's weird to think they've been around nearly 5 years now.. and they're basically still at the same point they were when starting out, they've never really progressed. :(

Oh dear haha. :(

Yep. :) But I don't think it's as successful ratings wise as Xtra Factor? Could be though. Never watched it personally, I only ever watch the main shows for BGT. :blush: Never mind, at least they're trying to get what they can I guess. If they had a spot on the main show for BGT they'd probably have mentioned it by now too. Would be interested to see their promo schedule, so far television-wise it's only Lemonaid and a quick interview on Koko Pop tomorrow morning... hmm.
