Guest powerofgoodbye Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 I realized "Wearing my rolex" is #1 on UK itunes...hummm Oh no.... Is she safe at no.1 this week? She can't have double #1 in UK single & Album chart this time round?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catboy Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Oh no.... Is she safe at no.1 this week? She can't have double #1 in UK single & Album chart this time round?? The album will be released next week. So she must be #1 for three weeks to coincide with the album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SuperPop Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 That Wiley song is very very similar to 'Exceeder' by Mason which was very big last year....I cant comprehend why it has become suddenly so big... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest SuperPop Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Will 4m be #1 for a second week? yeah a second week at no1 is almost guaranteed due to the physical release... but it seems pretty difficult to stay no1 for a third week...we must see how the Wiley song will fare the following days..

Queen Bitch Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Still A listed on Radio 1, but 4 mins falls off Radio 2 playlist, was C last week x It was never going to go down well with Radio 2 listeners - it's quite ironic really that in the mid-90s when Radio 1 listed artiists they'd never play again (except on oldies vote shows etc) Madonna was inlcuded with those who were thought to be evermore consigned to Radio 2 - Ray Of Light of course changed all that.

Queen Bitch Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Haha, do you still dislike 4M or has it grown on you? I always thought it was a good groove, littered with hooks but as a Madonna lead single, I maintain my stance that it's SHIT - nevertheless, I am not complaining about its success.

Queen Bitch Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Well in that case I'm becoming confident of three weeks at the top. Usher was the main threat but I heard it again this morning and that rap really is DIABOLICAL so hopefully it will keep the chavs at bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stefanos Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 (edited) How can sales increase if the two CDs in the UK are practically identical? I went to HMV today to buy the two CDs of 4M. It was only then I realised that their only difference was the "Junkie XL Remix" on CD2. Of course I only bought CD2. Surely this stupid / thoughtless strategy must affect sales negatively Edited April 24, 2008 by Stefanos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no reason for anyone to buy two CDs. Even for those, like me, who were willing to pay for two CDs. Whilst i-tunes offers four additional mixes the physical CD only has two! Maybe this is the way the music industry shifts us to MP3s (and their low quality) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely this stupid / thoughtless strategy must affect sales negatively Yes, I agree with you. I remember HU being the same and only bought CD1. I then bought the euro maxi whilst I was in Italy as this had loads of remixes on. Not sure if 4M would be the same in Europe but it is probably best to buy the remixes on itunes.

It was only then I realised that their only difference was the "Junkie XL Remix" on CD2. Of course I only bought CD2. I fell for this with the COAD singles but I'm less of an anorak about collecting physicals these days (the picture disk looks so crappy so I'm not sure I'll even bother with that). The strategy is that people who just like the single will by the cheaper, CD1 and people who are fans will either buy CD2 or both. It worked magnificently before the chart rules changed when they could but alternative tracks on each version along with a different sleeve pic to incite multiple buying.
