What does that mean?

I thought this group could do well if they had major label backing. I'm a bit surprised if they were not offered some record deals.

Yes 2,000 sales is so small. But realistically how many people even knew this album was released? I'm sure she has next to no AirPlay and minimal promotion. I like the album and hope it can continue to sell. Sam is on tour next spring so that may help.

SAMs new album is actually quite good. I like it more than I expected. Hope it does well for her. 'Its Gets Better Every Day' is becoming a guilty pleasure of mine!

Yes! Louise is confirmed. Oh I used to love her. Must listen to Naked, 2 Faced, Undivided Love again.

I'm still loving this! Have it in my Spotify playlist still. The girls are doing a radio tour of the U.K. For the next 2 weeks. I like that they are restarting from a small base and getting out there and promoting and trying to build from there. Wish this song would do well!

So this song is out today and I've just heard it for the first time on Spotify. It's really good and has a nice video which was filmed in Italy. Hope it does better than Lock Down which only has total plays on Spotify at the moment of 39,000.

I hope Eternal come back with another album. There last studio album, which was as a duo, got to No.87. All there previous albums were at least top 10 and double platinum (I think!). Not sure if it is likely though!

Aw I love Eternal. If I remember correctly, Eternal spend 3 weeks at No.2 behind Hanson. So if it wasn't for Hanson, Eternal would have been No.1 for 4 weeks!! Anyway, it's a brilliant top 10. I love 90's music!

Eternal should be in that list of girl bands with the most top 20 hits too!

What ever happened the release of More and More. Is its impact week still coming or has it flopped really badly already?

Yes From the Heart is good. But I love 'Guess I Was a Fool' aswell. Actually I love lots of their songs. So I'd welcome a comeback. How exciting. First All Saints comeback and now Another Level too! I just need Eternal to reform again!

I really love this song. Actually I love all his singles so far. He really should be having more success. Hopefully Sanctuary will pick up some airplay at least.

Wow this has got hardly any plays on Spotify so far! Bizarre how few people have bothered to stream this. And it's released next Friday.

I always really liked Something Deep Inside.

Yes I really want a full 3-4 singles era next time. But I do worry that a lot of Cheryl's solo career was helped by her huge public profile generated through the X Factor. But now the X Factor seems to have lost its power and guest performers are not getting the sales boost they used to get. I think Cheryl will have to spend much more time promoting, performing and touring with the next album. And the songs will need to be genuinely catchy. Also there was a huge connection between the public and Cheryl's personal life during the Three Words era. This connection seems to be missing lately. I bought Cheryl's last two album. I loved A Million Lights, while I found Only Human was more hit and miss.

That does answer my question! Thank you! But it's might be a little unfair. Just say an (unpopular) album is getting a sale of 0.5 EVERY week, it's streaming sales would always remain at zero becaus it might never reach a sale of '1' within a particular week. Obviously my scenario about is just an example. Of course bringing sales to the level of decimal places is not very important.

^ that's very true about fanbase sizes Also if an album builds up streaming point of 0.9 (for example) by the end of a week are those points carried forward to the next week when it reaches a sale of 1 copy. Or would the points of 0.9 cancel back to zero at the start of a new week? I hope that question makes sense!

That's a bit crazy. If I am a premium Spotify user I thought whatever I listen to would count, whether that's online or offline. I just thought my offline streams might count when I go back online and maybe then apply the 10 listens per day rule, or whatever!

Also if I listen to Spotify 'offline' how are those streams counted? Are the added when I put my phone/devise back online?

Wow Bens winning single from last year is brilliant compared to this! Having said that I'd like to see Louisa do well with her own original music.

I also wonder, if I listen to one song does it count to both the singles chart AND (to a lesser extent) the album chart?

Wow it's No.16 on iTunes now! Presumably it climbed due to his X Factor appearance. Just wish streaming was higher.

Wow! Craig David on X Factor. I'm so happy. Love him. He almost made me like RnB. Almost.

Ok I've started stream this quite a bit already. Hope it is successful. I've read good reviews of that Thursday gig. I don't even know where it was on though.
