UK Charts Discussion - Track "Applause" here!

:eek: Daft Punk sold 114k which now brings their total up to 606k

 

Holy **** this song is a monster. Will be interesting to see how well their album does in comparison.

 

When was the last time a song managed 4 weeks with 100k+ ? :S

I mean, I'm predicting around what Gaga did first week with BTW, but if it even comes close to Oasis... :eek:

Yeah someone posted about that before, I just can't see it tbh. I would personally be impressed if they hit 200k in the current sales climate, which is definitely possible. Oasis' sales were impressive for that time. An album doing over 600k in 2013 where most albums barely scrape 100k first week would be INSANE. I feel like for an album to beat Oasis' record, George Harrison and John Lennon would have to come back to life and reform The Beatles, bring back Elvis and MJ too and make a collab album Maybe not but you catch my drift. I think the bookies are just taking advantage of what is apparently the biggest hit in a long time to make some money.

Agreed with everything

 

@ the bold. I legit burst out laughing because it's true

[Jase 13,065]

Naughty Boy and Sam Smith now increasing their lead over Daft Punk. REALLY glad they're doing well because it's an amazing record!

[Harry 26,836]

It is just crazy though. Jokes aside I can't think of anyone that could pull numbers like that today. I mean, I'd think of people like Adele and Take That to get closest, not Daft Punk.

Wasn't that Oasis album the folllow-up to the one that sold 4.6 million (just like Adele).

Adele might have had a shot - with a quality and timely follow-up, good publicity, and an Xmas season release. Though maybe too many fans buying 21 as a one-album wonder.

what is the fuss around Daft Punk, Nobody cared about them before but why now? they weren't huge

 

The tron soundtrack made them click with a lot of young mainstream listeners.  It made their style sound really cool and popular. They've always had a slightly more underground following, though.

Yeah but I doubt Adele would reach that amount. I don't think it's possible for anyone tbh. If 696k was huge in 1997 then it seems unreachable now. Plus Oasis were arguably bigger then than Adele is now.

Justin needs to release a new single and promote it on the Britain's Got Talent Finale to put some life back into the album's sales. A Graham Norton performance/interview would be amazing too.

 

1st June - Britain's Got Talent

7th June - The Graham Norton Show

 

I can dream  :cry: 

 

i agree.. everyone's kinda.. "onto the next" now. i'm not sure how the second volume of 20/20 will do. he's not got much time between now and then to release a third single from this volume! but then again in the USA mirrors is only now gaining momentum so...

Exactly! I mean if they pushed a European only single at the very top of next month it could work, then the new single from Vol 2 will presumably be released in time for a VMA performance - which has just reminded me - his new album is likely gonna be in direct competition with ARTPOP if we can assume their singles will be out at a similar time for the VMAs  

[SomethingMore 1,701]

How is Y&B doing? 

 

I want it in the top 10 so badly.

[StrawberryBlond 14,268]

Daft Punk's sales are absolutely astounding. Looks like they'll overtake Macklemore this week to take the spot of biggest selling UK single. Who'd have thought that a disco song released today would get so much success? I'm wondering if the older generation are also responsible for the huge sales because it's so reminiscent of the music around when they were young.

That's what I'm afraid of - direct competition with Justin. However, Justin has had a long break and appeals to his longtime fans (most of them in their 20's and older now) and Gaga's still establishing herself and is gaining fans all the time, so she'd probably sell more. I have been rather surprised by Justin's lackluster sales but it's probably because he might have fallen out of favour with the current youth of today because he's been away so long and word's probably got around that the album's very chilled out and retro and that's not what most of the public want. It'll be very weird if he only releases two singles for his first installment as it'll seem like the album was just abandoned suddenly despite there being more hit potential there. I have the feeling that Gaga won't be releasing an album in September, though, so we'll be out of the woods on that front.

Hmm, so VV Brown is finally back...
