Has it filtered through to non-digital radio yet? We need a big impact hit like Lipgloss being played in the background of Audrey's salon on Coronation Street twenty odd years ago. That's where Wossy comes in I guess (big impact wise, not that he's making a cameo on Corrie).
After Jonathan Ross will be the real time to check. You'd have to presume that anybody who wanted, and knew about it, would have downloaded it by now. It'll be all about the general public after the show on saturday.
You have to remember that the cut-off is midnight Saturday/Sunday, so that gives viewers what, two hours to buy?
The only people I know who've played on JR had their record go down in the charts the week after - their performance was very poor though, so that might have more to do with it.

Nothing in the midweek Top 40. Does anyone know if the midweeks go any lower than 40?
Midweeks are supposed to be only for "the industry" - radio 1 releasing the top 40 is the latest development, if you want to get any more info you'll have to ask a friend who works for a record company.
The midweek was on the 'musicweek' website, so perhaps they're happier for the details to go further afield nowadays?
I think Pulp will make the Top 200 on Saturday at this rate, but not sure whether it'll crawl higher. Depends what amazon/itunes shows post-Wossy I suppose...
It's often not the performance being poor, but more often than not the sound levels are set up all wrong. I saw Primal Scream do a terrible set on there a couple of years back, for example.
Not paid attention to the bands since Jonathan moved to ITV. Has the sound been any better generally?
I think they put more attention into the performances generally now he's on ITV, they don't just stick a camera in front of them. Plus with the bands introing the guests I think it draws more attention.
