    Only the video is available, I didn't even know they included video sales on the Irish Chart. :blink: EDIT: It IS on Irish iTunes, I was looking at the UK iTunes. :D

    That's the third and final track I expect to have impact on iTunes. Not as much as Poker Face, but from either 75-90.

    100,000 is still enough to make the Top 10! ^_^

    Since Ireland always has similar success to UK. Unlike those artists the second single's video wasn't already out and over 5 million views between a short time.

    I think we could be pleasantly surprised, it's already #7 on Irish iTunes with no promotion, radio play etc. whatsoever. I expect a similar success in the UK.

    GaGa for #1 next week! Still can't understand why Beyonce took a big leap, I think the price dropped in a few places.

    I think we will see Poker Face in the UK Top 10 by next Sunday. I expect it to do very well on iTunes during the week.
  8. The Single is on iTunes right now. Links on my siggy. ^_^
  9. I'd love to see them battle it out on a lead single in October. Did Something Kinda Ooooh and Easy go head to head? I know they were both quite similar dates with that of All Saints comeback.

    God, can everyone stop moaning about this 'No Can Do' fiasco? It is being posted now after all the fussing - learn how to have some appreciation.

    I do hope 'The Loving Kind' climbs up soon. :(

    Jark, I LOVE your new signature! It has got me in the good ol' Kelly mood. Predictions for 2009: *Kelly Clarkson will achieve her very first UK #1 single. *McFly will break-up later in the year. *Alexandra's debut album will achieve one million album sales in roughly 3/4 weeks, same as her debut single. *Sugababes will return in October with a #1 single and re-ignite sales compared to C&S. *Cheryl Cole will be pregnant by the end of the year but doesn't affect Girls Aloud and commitments towards 7th album, having 23 consecutive Top 10 singles by the end of the year. *Leona Lewis will return in late 2009 with a #1 single and an album that will sell 500k+ in it's week.

    [ ?? ] 39 | Kardinal Offishal feat. Akon - Dangerous First appearance?! Was it only released on iTunes this evening?

    Twizzlers :( 'The Loving Kind' fell. Hopefully it can budge back up soon. :) :o at 'Womanizer' flying back up so suddenly! Why was that?
  15. I agree! I really look forward to this every Friday evening so I can get an idea of what is to come. :D
  16. Kid Cudi slipped in pre-orders! :o Hopefully 'The Loving Kind' is now heading for a Top 5!
  17. I always thought they were?
  18. I used the up until now the most recent sales from girlsaloud.net and around this forum for the Sugababes, with also adding last Sunday's sales to the final figure to both. I think these are definitely the most accurate sales around at the moment.

    Right-click on the line where it says Artist, Song Name, Release Date, Album etc. and you can pick 'Popularity' there.
  20. It's supposedly three weeks to find a buyer or they're out? It would be an awful shame if they did go. :cry:

    Go TLK! :D

    Good song :D for a minute I was expecting that to be the official video! :lol:
  23. It is indeed! :dance:
  24. I wonder if this will be the same for the stores in Ireland?
  25. Hi, I wasn't sure where to post this but I've spent a good while calculating the sales difference between our lovable Aloud and those of Sugababes, and it seems that they are very likely to pass SB's by the end of the year and become the nation's most loved girlgroup of the 00's! :P I have used accurate sales and have made my own estimations on what the difference between the two could end up by the end of 2009. Don't take this as gospel as what I have calculated through 2009 is my own guess, but everything else is correct. ----- End of Year Sales; 2008: Girls Aloud - Out Of Control 591,786 Tangled Up 425,000 (+180,500) The Sound Of: Greatest Hits 940,983 (+123,000) Sugababes - Catfights & Spotlights 82,455 Change 494,485 (+121,485) Overloaded: The Singles Collection 633,639 (+140,000) 2007: Girls Aloud - Tangled Up 244,500 The Sound Of: Greatest Hits 817,983 (+153,983) Sugababes - Change - 373,000 Overloaded: The Singles Collection 493,239 (+82,239) 2006: Girls Aloud - The Sound Of: Greatest Hits 664,000 Sugababes - Overloaded: The Singles Collection 411,000 ----- Date calculation: 8th January 2009 Girls Aloud sales (albums/singles): 6,433,000 (Albums: 3,290,027) Sugababes sales (albums/singles): 6,855,566 (Albums: 4,091,710) 6,433,000 - 6,855,566 = 422,566 *Album sales difference: 801,683* ----- 2009 estimates: Girls Aloud - The Sound Of: Greatest Hits +100k (over 1m) The Promise +50k (over 420k) Out Of Control +150k (over 760k) The Loving Kind +80k (over 100k) Comic Relief Single w/ Take That +100k 3rd Single +100k 23rd Single +150k 7th Studio Album +400k 1,130,000 + 6,433,000 = 7,563,000 Sugababes - Overloaded: The Singles Collection +50k (over 680k) Girls +30k (over 190k) Catfights & Spotlights +30k (over 110k) No Can Do +30k (over 50k) 24th Single +150k 8th Studio Album +150k 440,000 + 6,855,566 = 7,295,566 Difference of sales: 7,563,000 (GA) - 7,295,566 (SB) = 267,434 ----- I could be overestimating/underestimating some sales, in particular the forthcoming album's and single's of both acts that will be released towards the end of the year. Neither has the Comic Relief single with Take That been confirmed nor are we sure that we will get a third single from Out Of Control as of yet, but still taking these into account, there still is a chance that GA will surpass SB's in overall sales towards the end of the year. Whatever happens, you know 2009 will be an excellent year for the girls! :D
