    I don't really get why the girls aren't having back-to-back top fives! Personally I think their singles are mammoth compared to anything GA have done in a while! Think it might just be 'connecting with the public' something that will probably only come after a red-top story or two!

    Ego is my favourite Saturdays song so far.

    Lack of promotion/public awareness? Am pleased that Ego has got to #9, hope it charts higher next week but that's very good. It is a good song!

    Considering the song quality this should have went top five at least. The fact it charted lower than the likes of If This Is Love, Just Can't Get Enough and Forever Is Over is very dissapointing. Saying that i'm sure it will have sold alot more than FIO, which is one good thing, but unless sales really pick up after this promotion I can see it sliding out of the charts pretty quickly. :(

    I really think we should start a campaign for one of their songs to get #1. :o Or to get the album back in the top ten.

    I hope their management do something to get the promo for the album up and running properly. :(

    Anyone know roughly how much radio airplay Ego has been getting?

    #14 on this week's radio airplay chart

    For comparison:

    #1 is Gaga
    #4 is Cheryl Cole (3 words)
    #8 is Joe
    #13 is Alexandra Burke (BH)
    and #15 is Cheryl Cole (FFTL)

    So they're getting as much airplay as a song that's been out for 3 months and a song which isn't released for two weeks...

    Maybe start a campaign to re-release Up and get it to #1? That was (is) a brilliant song.

    I'd rather do a campaign for 'Work'. It's one of the best songs, imo an #22 is such a let down. :( Saying that I doubt the campaign would work (:p) 'cos The Sats aren't well known enough yet. I could definaely see the girls getting behind it, though? :)

    Worth a try? :o

    I like both 'Up' and 'Work'. Imo, 'work' should have been their debut, or second single at least. I don't think If This Is Love was a strong enough debut. I don't dislike the song, but I don't love it either.

    Yeah, as much as I'd love for these songs to chart higher/re enter, I hate the idea of a campaign just to achieve it! I think it if somehow went in by itself it would be so cool though! :D

    I think Up!, Work, Ego, Wordshaker and One Shot are the stronger Sat's songs they have. Well toa upbeat and should've used those to launch their respective albums.

    And good job on the album sales if true! :):D:D Although it makes you think how many album sales their are between those chart positions for it to jump 60places! :D

    Up to 59 today! Which means via estimates they are likely to sell about 3,500 this week!

    Who knows with a decent performance on DOI, could they do 6-7k the next week?!? :eek:
