I think it's great that they'll release the single in January because they'll have plenty of time to build some buzz in the states. The best tactic would be to send the new single to US radio, at the same time the single is released in the US. I don't think there's been official confirmation that the song will be sent to radio in a couple of weeks (I might be mistaken though). I think it's a bad idea if they send the song to radio in a couple of weeks and then release it in January, as some of you have said that they might suffer from illegal downloads. But if they get a great reception on radio then they might bring the release date forward to avoid this issue.

The impact date for 'Heart Skips A Beat' isn't until July 10. Maybe radio will start to play the song after the impact date. http://www.allaccess.com/top40-mainstream/future-releases

I actually like TW's music, but don't like some of the group members. I have to agree with you because I feel like most people are treating them better than a one hit wonder (which they probably will be). It's not fair to call JLS a flop when TW's album has flopped in the states. 1D are definitely in a different league as they've been a million times more successful than TW so far. I have a lot of friends who live in the US and when I asked them about The Wanted they didn't even know who they were, but they knew the song GYC. However, when I asked them about 1D all of them knew who they were and said that they've have literally blown up in America. Also when 1D appeared on The Today Show they had 15,000 fans turn up when they performed outside, and that's the highest turn out the show has ever had (beating Lady Gaga, Coldplay and Chris Brown). The Wanted tried to replicate this by begging their followers to sign a twition to let them perform outside on The Today Show, but because they had little demand and a small turn out they had to perform inside :lol: Also each 1D member has over 3 million followers each (Harry has 4 million followers) whereas the wanted have a little over 400,000 and don't seem to have increased that much since January, in comparison to 1D who have gained at least a million followers every two months since they've been to America. The Wanted have performed on a lot of big US sows and overall have done a lot more promo than 1D, and yet 1D have outdone them. On paper The Wanted should be doing extremely well because they've had a lot slots on high profile shows. I'm sure if 1D had their promo then they would be selling bucket loads in the states. I don't think their label are happy with the performance of their EP, and if CTS flops too then I can seem them getting dropped as they've invested an awful amount into them.

The got to perform at the Billboard Awards because they are managed by Scooter Braun who also manages Justin Bieber and Carly Rae Jepsen. Scooter's basically saying if you want Justin to perform then you have to have The Wanted perform on the show too. The same thing happened when they performed on The Voice a couple of weeks ago. No show is gonna turn down Scooter Braun if it means Bieber won't perform there. The Wanted have only achieved great success with GYC and not really with their album. Whereas 1D have had great success with their album and their song. At this rate it looks like The Wanted might become a one hit wonder, but we'll just have to wait and see how well CTS does in the next few months. Both acts have achieved great success stateside, but you can't deny that 1D have enjoyed greater success than The Wanted.

For a minute I thought they were the final sales, but then realized it's only 37.17%.

Here's another HDD prediction on where the top ten is heading: *Jack White (Third Man/Columbia) 120-130k Adele (XL/Columbia) 85-90k Lionel Richie (Mercury Nashville) 80-85k One Direction (Syco/Columbia) 40-45k Nicki Minaj (YM/CM/Universal Republic) 35-40k *Lee Brice (Curb) 35-40k Jason Mraz (Atlantic) 35-40k *Kip Moore (MCA Nashville) 35-40k Gotye (Fairfax/Universal Republic) 30-35k *The Wanted (Mercury/IDJ) 30-35k So The Wanted could sell as low as 30k :o

One Direction's album did well with just one hit single and they sold over 176,000 in the first week. Their label aren't going to be happy with this especially since they've pulled all the strings for them in states and have gotten them incredible promo in comparison to 1D. The Wanted released an EP for a reason so that more people could be persuaded to buy it and the issue is that they haven't.

HDD has predicted the EP to sell between 35k-40k this week in the US.

I don't think The Wanted will come close to getting a #1. HDD have predicted that they will sell between 35k- 40k this week. Those sales are pretty disappointing to be honest. Jack White will mostly get #1 as he's expected to sell 110k-120k.

One Direction have climbed to #3 :)

Glad You Came has dropped to #7.

I've never liked a Justin Bieber song before. I love this song and I think it's great.

ONE DIRECTION - What Makes You Beautiful: 34.871 (+ 2.647) I think that's their biggest update :)
