New Release Schedule 18.08.2014
Fifth Harmony - BO$$ released on October 12th (sourced from iTunes). Also nice to see Thank You by MKTO on the schedule, far superior to Classic and hopefully this will get more airplay as well.

iTunes Weekly Thread W/C 17th August 2014
Don't get me started on that :( , it was lucky in America as it moved 14-7 the week before YouTube streams were included in the chart, then spent the next 8 weeks between numbers 12 to 14 as its streaming wasn't quite high enough to keep it top 10 despite its monstrous airplay :cry: "Maps", in my opinion, is somewhat underperforming in the USA given all the singles released from Overexposed went top 10 (just). Maps only debuted with 114k sold in its first week, which wasn't really that overwhelming; it's struggled for top 5 on the Hot 100 and is currently struggling for top 5 on Mainstream Top 40 - it's done okay on Adult Top 40 however. I don't think it will flop by any means in the UK on the other hand. "It Was Always You"'s verses remind me of Chris Brown's "Crawl", the vocal pattern in them is near identical! (I do really like the song though, I hope it genuinely is single #2) --- 7. Ed Sheeran - Don't 10. Iggy Azalea - Black Widow (feat. Rita Ora) 11. Sam Smith - I'm Not the Only One Nice to see some post-album singles actually denting the upper tier of the chart, especially as the latter two are relatively early into their proper airplay pushes :o

2. Taylor Swift - Shake It Off I'm so glad her label made it the first instant grat rather than a single pre-order with a stupid release date followed by more instant grats (they'll still probably happen). Hopefully it can debut in the top 5 this week!

Spotify Chart Thread 2014, Part I
:o !! This has to receive a push here and I'm fairly sure radio (almost certainly Capital) would be on board, this song has suddenly really clicked with me in the past couple of weeks.

Buying music you've first heard via streaming
There's streaming on iPods - and other devices that support a Spotify app - for free users now too, but they come with adverts. Paying subscribers receive their streaming ad-free and allow them to download playlists to their device so you are able to listen to it offline like a normal MP3 player. So for the price of 10 songs from iTunes per month, you have access to offline listening from millions of tracks. That's how I use it and I know Thermo uses it like that too.

Predict Sales: Ariana Grande - Problem (feat. Iggy Azalea)
WELL SAID. *applauds* Anyway, I'm going to go for 150-155k with ~800k for a year-end total. Only Iggy herself is holding this song off from being #1 in America, it's going to be huge here.

48. The Vamps - Somebody To You 308. The Vamps - Somebody To You 383. The Vamps - Somebody To You (feat. Demi Lovato) [pre-order] Perhaps this could be the 'Animal' of 2014 except hopefully with a higher peak and greater longevity than Conor Maynard! This was actually rather good live at the Isle of Wight Festival haha

Hopefully Clarity can snag one more week on Radio 1's A List to secure its chance of a re-peak and get closer to being certified silver.

iTunes Weekly Thread W/C 15th June 2014
I think it's the perfect single to release the album off the back of; their 3 previous singles wouldn't have been up to scratch imo. But you're right, it's a bit too early to tell yet. Radio 1 playlisted WTTJ but Capital playlisted Braveheart and Trouble, perhaps this could be the single that both of them playlist? Next Wednesday (and the subsequent week beginning the following Monday) will be the best time to start worrying about their pre-order if Radio 1 do playlist t.
