    I can't wait to see them with some fierce outfits on hopefully. Speaking of the tour - I'm not sure if this has been posted - but the girls shared a picture of them on shoot for the tour screens (bottom left): http://37.media.tumblr.com/e5bc8301f0c571c21f3e1eee5e73681b/tumblr_n4y3skhi9Q1qhv7abo1_1280.jpg

    I heard it around 7:30pm, just randomly listening to the radio while waiting for the pizza man lol.
    They played the first verse and chorus then went straight to the bridge, that's a true radio edit. It sounded really good though.

    Mmmm pizza.

    Much better timeslot. I hate when radio stations say they're playlisting a song and it actually comes on at 2 AM.

    Too much crap for my taste, and why slow it down. I dont think charlottesweb will be rushing to buy this one.

    Sorry if posted already!
    I hope they wear more than just black / white and a tiny bit of red! The clothes just look like Move & Salute clothes. I hope there's something fresh and exciting on there. I want to be wowed with what they wear for once, like I am at 99% of other concerts.

    i'm surprised he put it up on his soundcloud because it's been up on a bloggers page for a little over a week now (who apparently had rights to exclusively play it). Also never knew he was the type to twitter search himself and favourite/retweet compliments i was surprised to see him all in my mentions retweeting tweets that mentioned him (and this track) especially since i didn't @reply him

    Do you notice Lily Allen got a number 1 album with around the same amount of sales Salute had.

    I just went back to last year and it was
    1 Caro Emerald 34,246

    so we cant tut tut I suppose on the albums. But look at what #75 single last year sold in comparison.

    75 Dusty Springfield 3,467

    I'm kind of dreading to see LM sales this Q4 even though their boat will be on the same tide as everyone else. Gotta get those touring plans in Europe worked out, I guess.

    I'm too excited to see their tour! I hope they record one of the dates, you would expect them too but whether that happens is another thing. I'm a bit worried I'm going to be disappointed though. >.<

    Poor Word Up! :(
    Great total sales though, I hope Move can get to 400k by the time 2014 leaves us, but it's a big ask atm. It's a shame album sales are so bad and reflecting on both albums (but especially Salute) in a negative way.

    I hope it will do as well! It needs a week at 59p to get some extra sales.

    To be honest, I think this album has done very well in this climate but also if you think about it, 'Move' has more or less carried it. 'Little Me' was only used during the Christmas period and I think a lot of us don't see it as a real single and then of course 'Word Up!' was for Sports Relief and isn't on the album.

    On another note, would anyone like to see 'Salute' be re-released later this year? Add a Disc 2 with 'Word Up!' and some new tracks and I think it would be fantastic. It would let the album get the recognition it deserves. Plus the girls schedules are sickening!

    I wanted them to re-release this album for quite some time, but I think I feel they've almost outgrown it now and that they really are able to step it up for album #3. I think had they released a better song than Little Me, and Word Up! hadn't took the place of a single I would be more positive for a re-release, but at this stage I feel like the era has been sort of tainted and I would prefer them to start fresh with album #3 and blow everyone away with a flawless run of singles. That said if they only manage to come up with 5 amazing songs and the rest of fillers, I'd rather a re-release than a new album, but at this point I'm looking forwards to lots of new songs and not just a handful. I so hope they manage to deliver with album #3 as much as they did with the first two imo.

    I'm just hoping they and their team make better single choices third time around as they've seen what happens twice now. IMO its hindered album sales.

    Observation: as much as we think there's pressure on them to deliver album/year, I have to say looking at the current landscape of girl groups, and some new acts not genre related, they are consistently producing new music and avoiding contractual disputes and not destroying themselves inwardly. I really have to hand it to them for what they have achieved so far. I never realized what a minefield the music biz is and they are successfully negotiating around most of the pitfalls.

    3, 4, 5 it's all too many, I guess I'm used to the fact that my first concert was Beyonce who only had a DJ.

    Do people get "opening act fatigue" with that many or do they just get seated later? I would hate to be the first act on.
