Guest SuperPop Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 I am mystified by the success the new Rihanna single is having (both in US and UK)...I have heard it 3 times and I still cant remember how it goes...it is one of her weakest singles...

Queen Bitch Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 I hope so...if they add it, will it be tmw or the following days? I expect it will depend on how quickly the Thursday dates sells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

franxisco66 Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Duffy's album is really good. But apart from word of mouth, it is enjoying of more promotion, and a great lead single. If Madonna doesnt want to do any promotion she will have to make great videos for her next singles, that may help relatively.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Hafo Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 On last Friday's midweek, Madge was at 20.7K. So we can calculate 26-27K for HC this week in the UK - unless sales nosedive over the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Bitch Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 The single is holding up really well and those album sales are shit overall - except for Duffy who's been out for ages and sold well. Just think, if HC was a good album and she'd promoted it, it could have had six weeks at the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may be delusional, it is getting late....GITM has really grown on me and it may kickstart the album. Hoping it is not a Hollywood delusion.

Brisy_Boy Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 Both singles and the album are doing very well... single spent 4 weeks at the TOP and it's still TOP 3 having 9 weeks spent on TOP 10!!! Where is it on the year to date countdown? The album spends it's third week inside TOP 5... on a though competition scenary! Look at the numbers of New Entries (17 new albums) inside the albums TOP 40... 5 new albums are TOP 10... Mariah's album is already out of the TOP 40 after 5 weeks - just 4 weeks inside TOP 40...
