100k is no where near enough for a single though. Most singles loose money, they only work if they promote the album well or if they become huge sellers (500,000+ copies probably), none of The Sats singles this era have done this. 100k, most of which are downloads at 99p, would probably only make around £150k. From that you have to pay for the video (the dancers, directors, studio time, hair, make up etc.), artwork, distribution and manufacturing costs of the physical cd and any live performances (hair, make up, transport, etc.)

nomination results http://www.bigbrother.tellymix.co.uk/2010/...on-results.html

Who voted #1? :lol:

Here are the nominations: - Who Are You (The Who 1988) - I Owe You Nothing (Bros 1989) - Go West (Pet Shop Boys 1994) - Earth Song (Michael Jackson 1996) - Who Do You Think You Are (Spice Girls 1997) - Stayin Alive/How Deep Is Your Love (Bee Gees 1997) - The Full Montey Melody (Robbie Williams and Tom Jones 1998) - Angel (Eurythmics 1999) - Can't Get You Out Of My Head (Kylie Minogue 2002) - Take Your Mama (Scissor Sisters 2005) - Gold Digger (Kanye West 2006) - Live and Let Die (Paul McCartney 2008) - The Promise (Girls Aloud 2009) Voting opens Jan 18th-Feb 5th

No, it's for the live performance thing. There's no best live act award this year, there's a brit for the "most memorable performance at the brits", GA are nominated for their performance of The Promise from last year. It's voted for by the public, too, so they stand a good chance (but I don't think they'll win, Michael Jackson is nominated...)

more here about Euro promo: http://www.xfactor.tellymix.co.uk/2010/01/...tor-return.html I don't see it stopping GA getting back together though, Nadine hasn't even released her album here yet and won't do for at least 2 or so months. Cheryl's just "passing the time" really. She and the other girls can't get back until Nadine's finished

It's on the front cover of the Sunday Sun today... http://www.imagebam.com/image/3cf32063124127 http://www.imagebam.com/image/39bff063124130

I think the only reason this campaign exists is a) there's not been any GA music or news for nearly a year now and their fans are bored and B) Untouchable was a great song and considered one of their best by their fans. If it was something like Long Hot Summer that missed the top 10 I doubt there'd be any campaign cause that was a weak single

would love it to go top 10. but voted fail. although even seeing it in the top 40 again would be nice

Pity it's all AFTER the week of the release! I think it may fall out. Currently they're #11 combined on iTunes with Alex and Justin both ahead and moving away. The snow and cold whether will not help their physicals tomorrow, but fingers crossed they'll stay in!

Worried Justin and Alex will push The sats out of the top 10 come Sunday, evening taking the single mix into account both are still ahead of them

#702, #220 - Untouchable - Girls Aloud :unsure:

yes, FFTL out Feb 19th and 3 words out on March 5th. She's performing at DLD, GaGa performed there last year. She's also performing at some award ceremony in France too

Yeah, it's not going to do it. It needs at the very least 1k a day but it's unlikely to hit 7k tonight

I think they'll scrape the top 10 by Sunday, but that's not their problem, their problem is that Ego isn't doing anything for the album. Ego should be up to 11 tomorrow I think

Radio 1 have now mentioned the campaign

It sold well because it is ANNOYINGLY catchy!

over 5.1k now. I really hope it can at least go top 40. Reading the topic on GAM I think only the really dedicated fans think it'll got top 10. I just want it to get some more airplay

Must've sold over 30k this week with florence selling 30.8k at #13, brilliant some 11 weeks after release. The only problem is that its eclipsing 3 words

Not knowing anything about the charts in these countries... are those positions good? Will she chart on any official type chart? Do they have a top 40 in Denmark, etc?

3OH!3 was on CBB last night, as was paparazzi and In For The Kill

In today's Sun and popjustice Also a radio station want to interview one of the organisers. Doing a lot better than I ever thought!

Well my point was surely it was more likely to go to #1 last week then this week? It's going to fall this week

Why is 3 words a contender this week when it wasn't last week when it was released? :\

GA's label is giving it quite a bit of support: http://twitter.com/welovepop/status/7334562044 It's unlikely to work I think everyone will admit but it is a shame it was *this* song that broke their run. If it was Long Hot Summer or similar I wouldn't have a problem with it as those were some of their weaker efforts IMO. Also the Dancing On Ice performance was rather useless - that was on March 15th when the single was released April 27th. But anyway from one girl band to another and back on topic... I do hope The Sats wil climb!
