I can't believe the video on his VEVO only has 13,000 views and the other version has 28,000 and that's it!? I think it's fair to say Will no longer appeals to the mass general buyer no more which is reality really :cry: He's released 4 brilliant singles from the album and this single and 'Brave Man' music videos are insanely powerful and even that is not enough right now. It's all about a select bunch of artists at the moment that get all the radio play and no room for anyone else. It's a shame really. I'm glad he's with Universal Island as there's no way Sony would have kept him on with sales like this - he hasn't even managed to go Gold yet. Prior to this his lowest selling album was Let It Go and that sold 400,000. I know the music market has changed a lot with streaming but those sales are still very low considering that. I am glad that it went to Number 1 but the overall sales aren't very impressive at all...he really needs a hit song from this album like 'Jealousy'. <_<

Oh my. I love it! Stunning vocals. Impactful video. If this doesn't do it for him, nothing will. Start promoting Mr Young!! Did i forget to say i think it's brilliant? :lol:

It's hardly a re-release, same artwork, one new song and that's it. I don't even class it as a re-release...disappointed. He could have gone Gold :blink:

Oooh exciting!! :yahoo: I do think this might distract away from Brave Man and promoting the album which is a shame. He badly needs to re-release the album with some extra songs on it maybe a few christmas covers like in the next 2 weeks to take advantage of the XMas sales like every other big artist is. :rolleyes:

She sounds totally different, just maybe a different type of singing? We're use to her doing the Girls Aloud numbers in a poppy upbeat way...?

If it was true they would have announced it by now surely? We need new artwork and a new song. :heart: A 2nd cd of christmas covers would be AMAZ-ING. :cheer: I think Will disagrees with the idea of a re-release and is holding it up. :rolleyes: Without a re-release the album ain't gonna go Gold 100k no way... :angry:

He needs to start promoting Brave Man, obviously when he's done with tour or where the can fit it in. Is the re-release still happening it's on Amazon? But no artwork change or tracklist change ain't a good thing. I think the label will be pro a re-release and Will won't let it happen. Which is a shame as 85% Proof should sell 100k minimum by the end of the year and the only way that is achievable is with a re-release maybe even with a 2nd CD of christmas covers that would be amazing Will's never done anything like that. The album really with 4 singles released and the album should have done a little better even the streams on Spotify for it are max 200k for the album. I remember then Will use to do sell 600k easy and go double platinum. I know everyone's sales are down but some people are still selling and their Spotify streams make up for it.

I'd say its very unlikely. They have limited slots are far too many people to fill in. I think Leona could have snuck in if her album was released now but the moment has passed her album has flopped... and i say this being a Leona fan BTW.

SPOILERS BELOW SO DON'T READ IF YOU DONT WANT TO KNOW Some thoughts... Opening with Brave Man - the confetti thing worked SO well. Ending on Leave Right Now - how apt! Would have preferred to open on Love Revolution that would be an amazing opener but never mind So many 85% Proof songs not performed missed Promise Me, Dare, You Keep On Loving Me and of course the stunning I Don't Need A Lover. No covers at all - he normally does at least one. He has put the effort into this tour but i didn't need to hear Switch It On again or Changes etc - this is the 85% Proof tour! We've seen those performed so many times. Overall good but could have been better. MY IDEAL set list would be Set 1 Opener Love Revolution Promise Me U Think I'm Sexy Your Game Set 2 Brave Man Leave Right Now Light My Fire Gold Set 3 Dare/You Keep On Loving Me(Medley) COVER - Rather Be by Clean Banditt All Time Love Like A River Set 4 Jealousy I Don't Need A Lover Thank You-FAKE ENDING Encore - Joy

Looks like the album may be getting re-released... http://www.amazon.co.uk/85%25-Proof-Will-Y...2166&sr=1-1

http://www.amazon.co.uk/85%25-Proof-Will-Y...2166&sr=1-1 Are we getting a re-release? Seems so... Track listing is the same though.

Yeah I know sales are low for everyone now days with streaming except for the Christmas period when things still sell in huge quantities. Therefore, I think a re-release is a very good idea with a Brave Man push. I just can't see Will allowing it.. :rolleyes:

Hope i'm not being negative but... The album was REALLY pushed this week Reduced price Strictly performance of Joy Brave Man video debut and all that resulted in only 1,800 sales. I'm sorry but that's not very good in my eyes. I have total now at 68,000 copies which is actually not that bad. But why is it not higher!? I love how they are pushing Joy now with TFI Friday today and but seriously Will normally sells much much more than this. I know steaming and sales are down for anyone but i do wonder if Island Records will be OK with this he has had 4 singles to push it so that don't come cheap... He really needs to do a re-release for christmas for Brave Man's sake i guess too but i can't see Will agreeing to this...

I doubt we'll get a 5th single or a 6th video i we include Like A River. It's practically unheard of these days. Video's are very expensive and he does no product placements in them to make them commercially viable. If there is a final single, Promise Me is the one for me - it is different and good enough (and would shift albums) to be released.

WOW! That's really quite something of a jump! Looks like Strictly more than did its job!!

Any idea where Shane's album is?

Like the video. Very Will. :cheer: Makes me like the song more. It was the one i always skipped previously!! :w00t: :w00t: Hope we do get a fourth single and i am rooting for either in order of preference - Gold, Blue, Promise Me or Brave Man. Good this has debuted as the album had a slightly major drop this week in the charts. :unsure:

Are Bars And Melody at No.4...if so WOW

She's a multi millionaire, it can't be that bad! There's still a career somewhere. The Girls Alouds always bounce back from their downfalls (US X Factor, insatiable etc).

I hope it's not Sweetest High II or Diamonds because they wern't good enough. No dance music please. Nadine you excel at ballads.

Not in the Top 100 midweeks. Shocking. Keep buying/streaming people.

Video sounds good!! Joy isn't my fave but it's the type of thing that radio plays - you never know it might turn in to a surprise hit..!

NO MORE ED AND SAM. Are you crazy. They've ruined the charts for a whole year. No thank you! They need to take years out and come back..

Sarah Harding i wonder how it's doing. (Not expecting much).
