It shouldn't influence sales. In the week of release Cardle sold 70k and i don't think LM will sell that much.
But Syco have been incredibly lazy with this campaign...it's obvious the girls are not a main priority on the label. This is the problem...they expect an x factor performance and a couple of tweets to solve everything but it doesn't work like that.
The girls will never do a '1D' because they're a girlgroup, they have to work harder and be promoted harder.
The album will probably stay in the top 5 come Sunday, it's good for a new girlgroup...but in XF terms it's disappointing.
Overall they have not flopped yet. As long as the album makes platinum they'll be fine.
First Two singles go straight to #1
The next goes to #3
The album looks like going top 5.
For a new girlband a top 5 debut album in the busiest time of the year for music is very good.
Most kids can see a bunch of ordinary girls like this any day of the week and without memorable songs there is nothing to hook people in.
But Wings did well. DNA so-so.
The album could be doing a Cher Llyod or even Girls Aloud when they're debut came out.
Of course, you'll get replies who say they arnt working. They've been saying that since before Wings. Just like fans have said no since before.
But the singles are the save.
I don't like Cardles post winner single did very well on top of the album.
#3
And I agree everything in this post tbh.
It really really annoys me how in every post you make about LM you call Jesy that. When she isn't at all. If thats what you call "tubby" I would hate to see what you think is normal :rolleyes:
Wasn't it #3 on itunes but in the official charts #6?
No it charted #6 officially in its 3rd week then climbed to #3 the following week thanks to their XF performance. I think it peaked at #2 on iTunes.
I'm not sure that is a good excuse. Spice Girls, Girls Aloud, Destiny's Child, All saints were all successful girlbands.
LM are not flopping though, they're not doing too badly.
But they are up against a really successful solo singer Rihanna, so yeah I'd say that is a good excuse.
But if you look at all of the girlbands you've listed, probably besides The Spice Girls, all of their debut album chart positions aren't as good as their future releases.
Again flopping is not particularly about the chart position. It's about the sales and now looks like that they won't sell very much in the week of release. Of course it's all about the longevity, but in XF terms first week sales will be disappointing and currently going towards floppy XF winners males road
They were never pop group material.
