Hurricane

Well, f*** me. It's #51

#45 Ireland #60 UK

You know actually, I would "up" my prediction to whatever is above my previous choice...So basically : 75k-95k sales / 105k-125k SPS I don't know. I'm conflicted. :lol:

I went with : 55k-75k sales / 85k-105k SPS Sales are disastrous, she doesn't have a hit whatsoever, but then she does have great promo, so I think 75k in sales and 95k-105k in streaming seems right.

Do You Wanna Come Over >>>> Clumsy >> Private Show :wub:

I think it will manage a #1, although with very poor sales and I can definitely see it being a really low selling album in general. That aside, I'm glad she's about to be #1 in the UK with what is shaping up to be a really great album.

:cheer: Not that it's relevant these days as the charts changed so much, but I still find that post from 'missingyou' (oops, now 'DiscoLove'?) who registered the place where each of their singles stood at noon : Again, it doesn't mean a thing as 'Back To You' could completely free-fall by Saturday - unlike these songs who all managed top 20 in the end. Plus, streaming, etc. But still, it's definitely off to a decent start.

So I guess people are waking up? #95 in the UK. It has officially broken the top 100.

The full video is there ; http://linkis.com/video.clipfish.de/me/YYKFH But it's not yet on her VEVO account. AMAZING video, however. :wub: A bit slower than expected, but incredibly gorgeous and beautiful. Truly well shot - and what an amazing cinematography.

Where did you hear/see that?

It has dropped down a bit in both UK and Ireland, but expected considering the time/hour.

Right, well there was more of a build-up when it comes down to Mollie's campaign due to the media coverage, but overall this is off to a "decent" start.

What's the highest Vanessa ever got? (No shade.)

Some people think they might wait for the song to get its premiere on BBC Radio 1 - which makes sense.

I told you that about 84 times, though....

It's #56 in Ireland apparently?

It's not out yet on YouTube so I think a few fans bought the video to watch it. It probably has like 30 sales, TOP.

baaaack TOOO usss TWOOOOOOO whyyyy YOU whyyy YOOUUUUU :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart:

Let me just say to Totto that.............she does indeed have fans in New Zealand! lmao :lol: (The HQ file from NZ leaked I believe. I feel like the production's much tighter. )

Well, I'm only guessing it is. :unsure: A lot of the group's videos premiered at midnight in the past, but I think I recall some of them premiering before that, so there's no "rule" exactly I guess...

I hope the video is coming in a few minutes. I can't wait!

Oh, I completely agree with you, I always did lmao, that's why I didn't quote you or anything. :P I was merely stating a few things for the next couple of hours when this song isn't going to be top 10 the second it's out and people will be screaming at the top of their lungs "FLOP!11!!!!! HER ALBUM WILL NEVER SEE THE DAY !11!!11!!! WORST MEMBER OF THE GROUP !111!!!" ---------------------------------- There's a really nice interview on Popjustice : http://www.popjustice.com/articles/mollie-...-in-every-time/ Not only did Mollie actually have TWO offers from label (Sony AND Island), she's actually on a very good basis with the actual director of the label - who apparently is supervising the whole project very closely and believing in her. That's always nice.

Yes, but it's not a This Morning performance that will provide any sort of buzz whatsoever. That's only good when you're like #12 on iTunes and you wanna go top 10 to get the extra exposure. Do 'This Morning' even still do pop performances? I forgot which one it is, but one of these morning TV shows has stopped doing that.

Honestly, I just don't know. I think with the first two days of "sales", it will be pretty obvious where it will fall eventually at the end of the week. I know the whole point is to predict its place before that, but I just need to know so many important factors that could change everything. Will the song be promoted on streaming services such as Spotify? Will the label buy multiple YouTube ads, getting the videos a lot of plays? Will they have a deal with radio stations? Will The Saturdays fans even buy the song? (I mean, by the end of their careers, the group was a flop, but usually they had a big enough fanbase to get a song in the top 100, even if it's just at #93) At this point, I'm predicting something like these 3 choices : Will not chart | #150-#200 | #100-#150, but I'm not voting just yet.

Not to say that charts and sales don't matter, but I just want to stress how different charts are nowadays. And despite Mollie coming from the back of The Saturdays, you truly have to consider her a brand new new artist. A new act don't just pop up into the top 10 (or top 20, or 40, hell maybe even 75) just like that in their first week anymore. Mind you she will start the week with absolutely zero airplay whatsoever, whereas even when the girls were flopping on the airplay charts, they were at the very least top 75 on release week. Mollie will also have so much work to do towards streaming. The Saturdays really didn't have a strong hold on that, so hopefully Island starts planning ways to get her hyped up on streaming services. It's really crucial these days, she will get lost easily otherwise. So, no, it's not that sales and charts aren't important ; it's just that everything is much more in the long run these days. There's no point in performing the song in the first week either. Again, different times. It will be better for her to start performing it live when/if radios pick it up and it starts climbing on the charts by itself.
