  1. I'm sure it will go top 10 on the charts, how well it will hold up is uncertain, this album, much like the last is lacking that epic hit to rake in the big sales, Sugababes have always depended on the lead off singles to help the album along, Freak Like Me/Round Round, Hole In The Head, Push The Button, and About You Now were all huge #1's and got great exposure and definitley convinced people to buy the albums. Get Sexy, AAG, and WMK havent really been epic hits, yes GS and AAG both reached 100k but compared to the what past lead singles have sold and what singles in general are selling these days its not that great. About A Girl in my opinion should have been that big hit they were hoping for and instead it underperformed big time, im sure WMK will pass 100k (hopefully) but i feel like none of these three songs will have a lasting impact on the buying public, the album like the singles will probably be front loaded and after it charts it will probably fall unless one of the other songs on the album can save it.
  2. I hope this isnt true and im sorry but what a stupid article, it makes her and her management sound spoiled, what do they mean the album hasnt done well? its going to pass 700k in the US in the next week or two and its sales are pretty stable, thats pretty good especially nowadays when albums sales are sh*t (Rated R could have just as easily hit #4 then fell to #50 and never recovered), Russian Roulette and Hard both went top 10, the latter has gone platinum, and Rude Boy is #4 on itunes and no doubt will probably be her third top 10 and possibly be another million seller...what exactly is dissapointing about that? One more single would probably push the album over 1 million copies sold. Sorry its just annoying reading that when there are so many artists that would kill to be in her shoes right now.
  3. Even though New Year and Run For Cover missed the top 10 they still had pretty decent sales for the positions they acheived, last i saw New Year had done 75k and RFC 58k, but i imagine both totals have increased since then. Also didnt Run For Cover give the album a second wind of sales?
  4. I doubt IGY is going anywhere in the US, Happy pretty much killed this era for her here, which is a shame because IGY and OMH are great tracks and would have probably been much better lead off singles.
  5. Poor Meet Me Halfway :lol: the only song that hasnt gotten on my nerves from this era and the only one to not go #1, nice jump for Rihanna and One Republic!
  6. Yeah i heard it alot on my local dance station, seemed like everytime i tuned to that station it was on, which was cool because i didnt think anyone knew who she was over here, but i havent heard it in a while.
  7. I really wish she'd take a break after the Fame Monster i worry that theres going to be a backlash at her soon because she's never going to be off the radio and tv, its cool she wants to keep making music but i dont want to be at the expense of her career. That said i heard rumors that the album might be called "the fame factory" but its just a rumor i dont know how true it is.
  8. #77 on itunes so far, i hope it climbs as the week goes on, but im worried this wont do so well, i hope i'm wrong though.
  9. Rachel Stevens fell victim of the second album syndrome too....completely undeserved as the first was terrible compared to the second. Negotiate With Love wasnt a great single, but So Good and I Said Never Again should have been able to help the album but even they struggled to be hits. I fear Alphabeat will fall victime to this too which is a shame cuz i love them, i wouldnt be suprised if The Ting Tings struggled with the next album too...although i'll reserve judgement till i hear new material. On the other side Lily Allen had pretty big success with her second album, 3 of the 4 singles were big hits too, i think because her music evolved on the second album, it wasnt so far off from her first but still distinct enough to keep people interested in her. Its hard to avoid the second album syndrome and sometimes its impossible, if someone does change their sound they could be accused of selling out and losing their fanbase, or if they dont change people will get bored of them, and sadly they could play all their cards right but no matter how good the music is nobody cares anymore.
  10. Apparently they're doing a concert in NYC at the end of March!!!! i just got tix i cant wait to see them! i wonder if they'll sing this?
  11. huge drop for Pink but thats expected with no radio support and the fact downloads have fallen since the performance, its still done amazing to even have reached the top 20!
  12. I still wish the WaWa radio edit would have been pushed as the main mix, i can't listen to the original after hearing it
  13. I think an obvious one is The Beatles, when you think about the earlier songs like She Loves You and I Want To Hold Your Hand, and compare it to I Am The Walrus or Strawberry Fields...it quite a drastic change. P!nk changed her sound too, she started out as RnB then switched to pop/rock and its worked for her ever since.
  14. Ive been reading her Twitters and she's still working in the studio she posted a picture yesterday of her in the recording booth, i say let her take her time recording the album, the girls should never have promised an album this soon anyway.
  15. I really do hope its Alejandro i think it could be a huge summer anthem, and it'd be perfect timing too as im sure Telephone will have started to fade by then, but part of me thinks it'll be Monster and even more so Speechless since she seems to be performing that at every high profile event lately.
  16. It still seems like a crime that it missed the top spot in the US, for the size of the hit it was you'd think it was #1 here.
  17. Glitter In The Air makes its debut at #18 on the hot 100 :cheer: thats pretty awesome for just a one off performance! this is now her 4th top 20 single off the album (first time doing that since M!ssundaztood)
  18. Only thing that comes to mind is... Men At Work - Land Down Under I know they had some other hits, but that is the big one that everyone remembers...at least thats the only one i know lol

    I think if both Ego and Forever Is Over were released before the album it would have more than likely had stronger first week sales, whether or not it would have kept selling well over time is unknown.

    This song is ok, but i dont know if its the best lead off single, it should be Drive My Soul or Saviour, they are both epic!
  21. Performance is on youtube now, it was really good and now I Don't Believe You is flying up itunes already #60! So happy things are still going well for her
  22. Just got an email Pink is performing 'I Don't Believe You' on Oprah tomorrow! Can't wait should be good :D pf1sYfoMEAo
  23. Can't believe how well its doing only one performance has pushed it into the top 5 on itunes! She must have gotten a lot of new fans with this song, considering its an album track taken off an album thats sold quite well. I think this is the only other song other than So What from this album to actually go top 10 on itunes.
  24. now #11 :w00t: this could end up charting much higher than expected if it manages to hang on till next week! I wonder if they'll turn this into a single for the US? They could probably do an amazing video for it.
  25. #17 on US itunes :cheer: hope it keeps climbing would love to see this chart in the top 20/30!
