Ozzy8923 9 Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 (edited) I still am surprised at the chart performance of Blow Me (One Last Kiss) because it is a LEAD single by a very established act and the song itself is very radio-friendly and the video was good, too. Her last lead single sold over 3 million copies in the US and reached #1 and the second single reached #2 and sold 2.5 million copies in the US and both songs topped the Pop Songs chart, so I expected Blow Me (One Last Kiss) to sell really well and reach #1, at least it will reach Platinum. Her album will most likely sell well, I expect 3-5 million copies WW, which is a very respectable amount seeing that most albums this year have either struggled to pass the 1 million mark or have yet to do so. Her Greatest Hits album sold 3 million copies WW and 1 million copies in the US (The same as Talk that Talk, and without a HUGE WW smash like We Found Love ).

I am also surprised by P!nk's chart performance at the moment. It's really radio friendly. And the GP seems to like it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 680 Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 (edited) I wonder if it had to do with it being at the tail end of her album era over there. Just makes me wonder how MTN would have done if it was released at the beginning of the BTW era. http://en.wikipedia....ing_discography Yes, it was Ellie's 6th UK single (and 2nd from re-release just like Wide Awake). The album had already almost sold as much as BTW. I still am surprised at the chart performance of Blow Me (One Last Kiss) because it is a LEAD single by a very established act and the song itself is very radio-friendly Have you counted how many times she sings "****" in it? And the public doesnt love it since it is out of US and even Australia top 10, and new songs with less airplay have outsold it.

The clean version entered the iTunes top 100 last night, too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then attempts to censor sh*t ruin the flow of the song on radio, and I start hearing every word that sounds remotely like sit, hit, it, st... as ****. You think I'm just too serious, I think you're full of ..it (might as well say **** again) Edited August 10, 2012 by craig Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozzy8923 9 Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Mylo is definitely not at 6 M The 5 M is more accurate I thought that too, but I wanted to have both numbers there just for reference purposes. :nick: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arturo 40,746 Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 You & I is #1 on Bulgarian iTunes as I type this. Most likely due to the fact that her tour's first stop is in Sofia, Bulgaria :) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

La Rosalia 9,906 Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 You know, I honestly think that this your could help it reach the Top Ten in the US iTunes? Hard Billboard? impossible Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magoo 6 Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 (edited) Whistle will keep gaining airplay though, so it could end up at #1. That's what should happen - however the latest airplay update shows: 1. KATY PERRY - Wide Awake: 164.200 (+ 0.989) 12. FLO RIDA - Whistle: 79.882 (+ 0.916) so Whistle's airplay is rising too slowly ... on the other hand 3. ELLIE GOULDING - Lights: 157.539 (+ 1.427) while 5. CARLY RAE JEPSEN - Call Me Maybe: 132.876 (- 2.621) is being actively killed With Whistle's sales stalling a bit I think BBHot100 #1 for next week is most likely to be between Lights and Wide Awake Edited August 10, 2012 by Magoo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robotboy 1,700 Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 (edited) so carly will forever go away now and it looks like she wasnt even useful at all. :teehee: Edited August 10, 2012 by Idcydk Remember that you are unique.
