How can anyone be dissapointed with 101? Im not being funny, there was NO promotion aside from a tv appearence, and some fans tweeting about it. Im surprised it did so well.
20,000 odd? Hmm, there were 12,000 at Sheff. I'd say at least half of them threw away their "gift", another couple of thou would have forgotten to activate it on Xmas day, leaving a couple of thousand that possibly did.
If it only takes a few hundred sales to get to number 100 I would have expected at least that many people to download it. More probably did this week just gone though.
Apparently a lot if people in seated left theirs stuck to the seat because they didn't know they were there/bother to take them. My mate got given 2 by security, and couldnt claim either because the site wouldn't work for her.
Eamonn, there's a site that gives details of all *new entries* to the Top 200. Hence I could find its position last week, but wouldn't be able to this week.
Likewise all Top 100 singles chart data can be accessed on the week of the chart...but as it hasn't gone Top 100, neither of these avenues are open to us.
After You getting to No. 101 is a lower chart position that Common People managed in July 2011 when it climbed back to No.97 for a random week!
