iTunes 🆕 #54 LadBaby - We Built This City It’s that meme: “We’re back! Did you miss us? Because we missed you”.

Last year iirc LadBaby were 16k ahead of Wham! and Mariah on the Monday update and it still wasn’t a done deal.

At least 50k, but Creative Universe didn’t debut at #1 on iTunes which suggests they didn’t have pre-orders.

It’s a Christmas miracle: GhRJJ0PEXVc

False alarm stand down everyone! -gg8t-xZit0

I'm guessing it'll be for Creator Universe. Maybe they'll be in the video since they've got a big following. It's a bit cryptic, but they wouldn't want to try again using their brand if they know they could lose.

The TikTok Collective song is only 79p on iTunes. LadBaby never discounted it. :drama:

The OCC finally named Stick Season as a contender

Are there no other songs? :drama:

They must have some confidence in themselves because even LadBaby posted a pre-order download link a couple of days beforehand, at least. I think only those who are chronically online on TikTok have heard of them. I’m surprised Brooke and Jessie (who create viral dances) didn’t get a look in.

I just saw that Sam Ryder did a busking event with Deliveroo and he had a charity bucket next to him, with all proceeds going to the Trussell Trust. Guess all the TikTokers were too busy :lol:

I know I mentioned it before, but a lot of people are saying "The Pogues HAVE to be number one 😡" but I don't know if they'll actually buy it. Also, I'm curious about how many versions of this "Creator" thing there are. Is there just one? I wouldn't be surprised if there was another version which featured disabled children, or something like that.

They're so confident they're going to be number one (where is the pre-order link?). They must be paying someone to boost their numbers.

The real MVPs in this world are the ones who quietly go about doing charitable deeds, such as those you see on the Pride of Britain Awards, without expecting anything in return. They are the opposite of these attention-seeking grifters.

Anyone but LadBaby 2.0.

I'm seeing a lot of “No! Pogues must be Number One!”. Let's see if people put their money where their mouth is.

Sam's been quiet about his CDs lately. Can anyone drop by one of his Samta's Grotto events to check if he's selling them? There must be a reason for doing it, and since it's organised by Amazon UK, he should be able to sell them.

@1734182492540920134 First time!

The current chart is a bit wonky since other streams haven't been counted yet. He's up from last week, but Wham! and Mariah are still ahead in Christmas streams, though their weekend streams are lower than last weekend. I know he has promo events with Amazon Music UK, so hopefully they'll continue to help him boost his streaming numbers. Even better if people can buy CDs there. His best chance is probably the week after, but it’s more likely he will stay top 10.

The TikTokers will reveal the pre-order link on Tuesday, but like LadBaby, they are misleadingly claiming that 'all proceeds' (not profit) will be donated to charity. It really irks me when wealthy people use charity as a way to butter up their own image.

53473 sales for Wham! this week. It might be hard to beat.

Yeah, I mean, it all comes down to how much ‘influence’ these influencers have, right? Having a lot of followers doesn't necessarily mean they're engaged. LadBaby have a solid UK audience who follow their lifestyle and family stuff in general, so they bought all the versions of their songs. There’s zero chance the general public will care about them.

Their Instagram is @CreatorUniverse_ and their TikTok is @CreatorUniverse.com but so far most of the engagement seems to be them commenting from their own profiles. There is no link to their song available yet, but they may promote it on their personal profiles instead.
