Sunday Chart Predictions (Friday Update)

The Essential Charts at No.15
No new single or music video No new songs on the album Not a WORD from Will... Not even a new photoshoot... Just a few adverts here and there.... and it's in at No.15!!! :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: That just shows interest in Will is high in the UK. WOW. Why hasn't Will said a WORD about this...abit annoyed if i am honest...? Is it because he disagrees it should have been released...? sn't that incredible!? Just shows the support for Mr Young out in the UK...i mean it's not even reduced anywhere selling at about £10 average everywhere...!Just a shame they didn't put in I Just Want A Lover and Losing Myself. I'm ashamed to admit despite owning everything Will Young already...albums and singles i just had to bought it and i did. Not even a new photoshoot...bitter Will!!! He could at least mention it on twitter...not happy about that. Anyway.... He must have made Sony BMG so much money in 10 years... From Now on - No.1, 800,000 sold Fridays Child - No.1, 1,600,000 sold Keep On - No.2 - 1,000,000 sold Let It Go - No.2,- 450,000 sold The Hits - No.9 - 550,000 sold The Essential - No.15 - no promotion no single no new photoshoot no word from Will... The biggest selling single of the 21st century Evergreen 2 Brit Awards - nearly 10 Brit nominations!? Eleven top ten singles: Evergreen/Anything Is Possible, Light My Fire, Long And Winding Road, You And I/Don't Let Me Down, Leave Right Now, Your Game, Fridays Child, Switch It On, All Time Love, Who Am I, Changes, Jealousy 9 million record sales and Surely a million tour ticket sales too...so many tours/concerts too... Was it bitter of them to release a hits collection again without his permission!? Maybe thats why he's bitter... This could harm his album sales next year too...it won't make as MUCH of a impact since there is an album flowing around right now.

WTF!?? Another WY GH coming out next week
Flipping heck...he's selling amazingly considering there is no promotion, video or even a word from Will. Just shows the extent of interest in him in the UK is high. Well...i've crumbled and bought myself a copy still angry there is no Losing Myself and I Just Want A Lover... :wub: But YAH! my copy is here

WTF!?? Another WY GH coming out next week
Obviously Sony cashing in on his contract. Will's not said a word, i believe he'll be against this. http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Essential-Will...ords=WILL+YOUNG But i'm still tempted to buy it. :( Sounds quite nice having all the singles all A Sides and B Sides unlike last time with the most recent ones on there too!! What does everyone make of this!? Out next week!

Will Young
Well done Will on the WhatsonStage.com award, had a sneaky feeling he'd win! Well done fans!! :D
-
Some interesting questions!
1. In Stronger Will says 'You won first place, but you take second best' - is this about Gareth? 2. Is Stronger addressed to Mr Cowell? 3. Did Will hate Darius? He wasn't nice about him in Funny Pecuilar was he!? Seems abit ingenuine to me!

11 years of Will Young..
I wanted to write this because i just remembered it's been 11 years since i have been following Will now. For me it all started when people where harping on about this new Pop Idol show, i hadn't followed the initial stages and one day remember flicking over and them running over the numbers, i knew who Gareth was as everyone was going on about him and i knew he was the person tipped to win, we all knew who Darius was too - i remember watching those clips back never seeing Will before and going you know who deserves to win that 3rd person, the person not getting as much attention as the others - the others with the hype aren't as good as this person. Next week i watched the final as everyone was going on about it, i decided my opinion by the end of the night that Will was far better than Gareth who was going to win. I didn't care too much but i thought it'd be fun to judge this and make my own opinion. Cue Shock twist Will winning and ever since then i've followed him since. I wasn't even a CD buyer before Will, i had bought some S Club 7 CD's before but a week later i remember convincing myself i just had to get this single and then Light My Fire came out and that was amazing. Even at school i would be humming these songs in my head and suddenly i had this whole new fun thing that was exciting and i remember going to myself, because sadly as a realist i really thought Will would end up flopping sadly and i thought i'd get maybe two albums out of this if we where lucky, and sadly i would have defintely told him to do covers and that sort of music like Simon too. But i'm so glad he didn't the amazing music that has followed since has been wonderful. I still remember buying every album, full of excitement and amazed when all i heard was amazing stuff. I wouldn't have probably liked the Echoes Will if he launched now, but back then all i knew was he had a great voice, and there was something sophisticated and substance in following Will. I almost went off him at Keep On, he was full of himself i thought at that point and Will's said recently that he defintely was becoming a bit cocky by that stage. By far my fave song remains Leave Right Now followed by Your Game and Light My Fire although i like all the albums and singles. That Pop Idol final twist still remains one of the biggest surprises in a tv show - i'm sure no one thought Will was winning! What a great tv moment. I've bought music off Gareth, Darius and the others too so i defintely wasn't all about who's better than who...but Will's been amazing since then. I must mention Devoted and the wonderful kind fans that use to be on it as it made being a Will Young fan even funner than it should have been. Baby Devoted is no where huge as then and i know as time goes on Will's popularity has as expected faded slightly but still remains, but that site was special back then whenever something big happened. Thank you Sony BMG for doing such a good job for Will's career, it's really understated. I laughed so much when Will says in his book that they showed him some new songs from Flo Rida and wanted him to do stuff like that - ha ha! All the tours are amazing i was so angry that Keep On the tour wasn't coming out on DVD, or losing Record Of The Year to Gareth, or only being No.2 with You And I and Cowell's blatant attempts at sabotage! So, Mr Will Young :yahoo: the best solo artist in this country :w00t: and here's to a very much awaited seventh album on Universal Records! :wub:

Sunday Chart Predictions
Well Olly fans have done the same. He had a signed CD single out last week for £3.99!! and many of his fans are buying his album boxset, standard, deluxe and digital editions too so it's not just GA. There's always mega fans there's never enough to make any big difference anyway. I'm sure Rhianna has them too. Considering GA's biggest album Out of Control sold 26,000 copies in the first day - Ten selling 19,000 is pretty good for one day for them. It's just the Olly comparison making it look worse... I dont compare them to Olly, Olly has female support which 1D also rely on and it's a much bigger achievement and feat for a pop group especially a female one to break through like they have. Olly also is at the height of his fame, and gets weekly promotion on Xtra Factor so every bit helps with him i'm sure too. I am one of the mega fans who will be buying multiple copies for my collection but not everyone is doing that so it'll make little difference chart wise and every artist has their hard core supporters so it all equals out. Well GA, not that bad 19k in one day.

Will Young Switches To Island Label.
Now Island records have all 3 of the biggest male solo artists in this country Robbie Will and James. I'm shocked he's left Sony but i just knew he'd move to Universal one day. I think Sony deserve a round of applause, even though Will will downplay it as much as possible they've been insanely brilliant to him for 10 years. I wonder if Sony wanted to get rid of him which i doubt considering the last album just sold 500k, or if Will wanted to leave himself for a fresh start.

Will's Autobiography,'Funny, Peculiar.'
I agree with Sunday, three years away from the music industry is lethal these days. His sales will almost definitely decrease to 200k-300k. Look at Shayne Ward Look at Leona Look at Dido :unsure: Go away too long and your fanbase is gone Although Will has more loyal fans he'll lose the 'punters' interest. :rolleyes: I personally think the more non-music stuff he does, people presume he is not taking the music seriously. :puke2: Album every 2 years is right Next album should be August 2013. I am excited to see what Universal do with Will. :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: Thank you SonyBMG for a great 10 years they've been VERY good to Will - he should admit that. :cheer: The Pitbull thing still makes me laugh!!! :w00t: :w00t: :w00t: :w00t:

Cheryl: My Story
I bought it. Utterly brilliant. I know she didn't type it or whatever but she recollects stories very well and in detail. It's immaculate!!
-
Will's Autobiography,'Funny, Peculiar.'
I bought both Cheryl's and Will's books last week and sadly Cheryl's is better. She may not have typed it all her self or whatever but she goes into extensive details about everything. Will summaries alot. He has a huge type face too the font size is huge...i'd rather it was chronological than so random he swings from his schools days to now and stuff. I like the hand drawn pictures who ever did those but i was expecting abit more.... Wasn't nice what he said about Darius. I always been a firm believer in things that at the time Will was being chummy with Darius etc but then now he says he hated his company. I don't that. There's so many artists who when they release their current album go this is me i love this album i am so happy with it. Then the next year...they go that wasn't me, my new album is me - i didn't like that... It was nice he was so reserved about Gareth because i cannot think what he has to say will be positive he must have been super annoyed but spared Gareth as he still sees him every now and then.

'Ten - The Hits Tour' • Official Thread
Congrats GA 21st century most popular girl band. SO PROUD. Love the new record. Amazing as per usual. Go Nadine. Cannot wait for this. A studio album would be class. Cannot wait for press conference!!

Will's Autobiography,'Funny, Peculiar.'
Why is the book very expensive Nothing less than £10 average....in most shops. Cheryl's abit less. Will's very low in the book charts from what i can see. I bought the book regardless... Seems really immaculate.Would have preferred more information about his thoughts on the Gareth situation. Wow at the Universal records label move! ISland!! shocker..

Will Young Switches To Island Label.
Well i got his book, great read btw but would have preferred more insider gossip about PI like his thoughts on the Gareth bias. Shocked he wants to move from Sony!! :w00t: He constantly talks about sales being bad how is 400k-500k bad!?? in this market.. Will be interesting about Universal... Why the hell did Sony want to drop him after Let It Go, it sold 400k!! ridiculous. Is this a mutual decision or Sony's orWills!?? I knew he'd switch to Universal records one day...this will be interesting.

Sunday Chart Predictions
Sorry but i would have thought the physical CD sales where included in that figure. If that figure is true, Rhianna will get the number 1 unless One Direction pull something out the back. A 6k lead is nothing especially since she's been beating them on iTunes for days and thats where most single sales come from. It's quite sweet knowing One Direction will not be number 1! :w00t: although i admit the songs very good.
-
New Album anytime soon
I hate how lots of reality artists promise a new album that never arrives... :rolleyes: and Darius has been promising for ages. It's not hard these days especially, if you cannot get a deal you go Independent. :puke2: So, why not? :unsure: He put up 3 songs up on a page, all of them very good very impressed. The big band thing sells just like Joe McElderry would tell you. Why not go with Decca records...they prefer artists like him doing this type of music..

Favorite Will album?
i like them all insanely but in order... 1. Fridays Child - almost flawless. So mature and sophisticated sounding. Not a bad track in sight. A vocal showcase for Will, great production. Clearly the prime of his career. A masterpiece and outstanding piece of work. 9.8/10 2. From Now On - i must be the only one who likes this that much. It was so special listening to this, i found it calming and nice. Very impressed. Some amazing albiet downbeat songs here - You and I and Lovestruck are standouts 9.5/10 3. Let It Go - When i heard this i was amazed at how much each song was perfect. Very good songwriting here.. I like everything but 'Love'. 8.6/10 4. Echoes - an amazing record. Will just reinvented his career better than anyone could ever have imagined. It's a masterpiece thats no doubt to say. It's not more above because i attach special memories to the other three albums. 8.4/10 5. Keep On - Now i admit this is a stellar album, so original and different to anything else there. It came at a time where i'd lost a little interest in Will and thought he was getting a little cocky. I didn't like Switch It On as a single for starters nor the video. Too cocky/a page out of Robbie's book for me. But then you have all Time Love, aint' such bad place, madness and think about it.. 8.2/10
