It is down to 59p now...

Credible? Sure, they took until series 3. But they had G4, Shayne Ward, Steve Brookstein, Journey South, Andy Abraham, Chico all getting top 10 hits - some of them getting quite a few hits each. The Voice has only had two top 10 hits - #10 for Bo Bruce's album, and Leah McFall's I Will Survive. The first winner's single has sold less than 10,000 copies...I do agree with you that it "could" pick up, and I hope it does - I enjoy the show, and there has been talent to emerge from the show that deserved to do better - but so far, it has been a huge flop of a show in terms of chart success

This just makes me gutted for all the series 1 finalists. They could have shifted a load of single sales if they had studio versions of all of their live show performances released. It's also really quite sad that a cover that was probably recorded as quickly and cheaply as possible by Leah has sold more copies than any of the singles/albums that were promoted with music videos, radio interviews, advertisements, and had a lot more work on them in terms of song-writing and such. But hey, that's the way it goes.

The most-viewed and most-liked video from any of The Voice series on the BBC YouTube channel is the duet between Jessie J and Vince Kidd from last year. Views and likes aren't always reflected in sales/success, strangely.

If he wanted to do that, he should have released it under a different artist name.

The Voice had contestants choosing what songs they wanted to use in the last round before the live shows - can't get much more variety than that, surely? Plus, I bet as soon as the sales are released on Monday, they will be someone saying "oh, I can't wait for Iris to get to 1 million sales". As long as they sing it well, I don't see the problem.

I'm gutted Vince Kidd isn't doing better.

Vince Kidd - The Zoo EP

The Voice UK series 1 winner Leanne Mitchell's debut album not even in the top 100. At #112, selling 423 copies. https://twitter.com/iamrobanderson/status/339766361565831169

An album with cover art that grabs me is more likely to be purchased, of course. I have also previous bought albums purely because the album titled really struck me, or sometimes just because it made me laugh.

Albums Rudimental - Home (deluxe edition from iTunes) I also am going to play Bo Bruce's album Before I Sleep on Spotify, to decide whether to get the full album or just get the single 'Save Me'.

I think this is what we call a thrashing. Daft Punk is in a different league to Loveable Rogues.

I voted for Rudimental.

Definitely Rudimental - Waiting All Night. What a tune.

Awful. Hope it doesn't make the top 10.

Macklemore at #22 currently, though at #13 on iTunes; finally, a much-deserved 2nd top 20 hit. Shame Same Love hasn't charted higher, but at least he's getting another top 20 song.

I saw Plan B at the O2 supported by Rudimental, and the crowd were really, really up for them. Me and my friend loved them, and I have since bought Waiting All Night today and pre-ordered their album.

I'm with you on this. :D

I don't understand why this is so successful. It is awful.

Adam Ant at #25?! Was #3 on Monday, #8 on Tuesday midweeks...so incredibly front-loaded. :o

I hope Adam Ant falls out of the top 10. I am a fan of his, but many of the songs on his album sound demo-quality at best. Poor effort.

5 - Bad, Thriller, Queen Greatest Hits, Queen Greatest Hits 2 and What's the Story Morning Glory? Above is the order of how often I listen to each album; I haven't played Oasis for a long time. I love Michael Jackson, though.

This is annoying news. I loved comparing chart runs of loads of different artists using that website. Rubbish news.

Anyone know if Vince Kidd got into the top 200?

Plan B, The Killers, Muse.
