Busy, busy, busy !
I think that the Elliot Morgan photoshoot was for the Idol mag interview so those two should come together!
Really disappointed about this. It really would have helped for a final publicity push before the single was released. Don't get me wrong, I think it's brilliant that he's B List, and that the song has had quite a bit of exposure on R1, but with no other major radio stations backing it, A List would have been ideal this week.
I think it will have to do well in the charts to get A listed, can't really complain they have been very supportive which more than can be said about capital radio. Don't think this has mentioned it is record of the week on in demand radio.

I'm actually surprised that capital haven't played his song. Would've thought with the dance-y kinda vibes it would've been a sure thing.. Oh well, their loss
I'd be pretty damn chuffed for Aiden to get top 20. But then I've never paid any attention to the single chartings of the musical love of my life Rufus Wainwright (and to be honest I've rarely had cause to bless him ) so I'm maybe not the best judge. I'm torn between me personally not caring about chartings and me knowing that Aiden and his label probably will and wanting whats best for him. But honestly wherever it lands ill be a happy girl :)
aww now you have me all intrigued as to what this mystery post was
Same - am super intrigued now!
Hhhmmm, and as for my thoughts on how the single might perform, I really have no idea. As someone mentioned above I think I'm struggling to even put a guess on it because I'm so invested in it and feel like Aiden is everywhere but that's because I'm searching it out.
I mean, I'm sure if I mentioned it at work tomorrow none of them would have any idea AIden's got a single coming out - even though I've told them all multiple times, I think they just tune me out when I start talking about Aiden now to be honest! :eek::D;)
I think top ten would amazing, but am thinking maybe top 20 is more realistic? I do think it won't be a 'in the charts one week and then out the next' type song though, I think it'll be sticking around for a while and may even pick up momentum and climb the charts in the second week of release. I have nothing at all to base this on obviously, just making random guesses and pretending I have a vague clue what I'm talking about!

Spiralstatic's post was remarkably similar to this. She's never paid attention to chart positions and just wants Aiden to do well enough to be able to keep making music.
I hate to sound pessimistic, but surely top 20 would be a bit of a disappointment? Is This Love is a brilliant song that deserves to chart top 10 at the very least. My gut instinct is it will be top 10 but probably not top 5. I'd worry if it only went top 20; the charts shouldn't matter, but they inevitably do to his label. He's had a fair amount of promo in terms of the demographics he's trying to reach, and a good amount of exposure on R1. I suppose my only worry is that he hasn't yet connected fully with a new fanbase, whilst possibly isolating some of his younger fans. As a stand alone single, Is This Love is brilliant, and by all accounts, his album is meant to be strong too, but so much judgement is cast on the first single. I'm going to be a nervous wreck by next Sunday!

I have to agree. As much as I don't tend to take much notice of the charts, the idea of his song only making the Top 20 makes my blood boil - its a good song, which deserves to do well
I've just realised that I have never actually bought a single. First time for everything I s'pose!
This is exactly what has me thinking top 20...are the people Aiden is trying to reach with his music the people who buy singles?
Of course I'll be buying it because it's Aiden, but any other artist I'd probably just wait for the album.
I'm probably underestimating the airplay it's had on radio 1 - I've not listened to it much these past few weeks so have no concept of how much it's been played. And him being on with Scott on Friday will do him the world of good. Scott definitely likes the track (he picked it as his track of the week himself, it wasn't forced on him by the playlist people or anything) so hopefully he'll big him up loads!
Giggles, I'm tipsy now so had I waited until now to share my thoughts I likely wouldn't have deleted! All I can say is I've no idea where Aiden will chart - when I was 12/13 I used to wake up at 5am, practice my violin then allow myself an hour to lie listening to the radio. In those days I listened to the charts. Since then, I have no idea what music charts! And even then I didn't approve of number ones. I just listened in the vain hope and with the naivety that something I loved might?!
I love music and I hope I'd be considered as a music lover....? I've no idea what else I'd be considered as, but :D:o:o!! Thus, personally I find it hard to care too much where Aiden charts as long as he can have a successful and long career and we can listen to his music now and as it develops in the future .
For Aiden though, I wish for success. Perhaps as someone who has come from where he has that'd be best begun with chart success? But if so, then wherever the track enters - high or low, it can stick around or climb... and if it isn't high well that's not specifically his target audience anyway perhaps? I say there can be a positive in anything. The people who have got him thus far have believed in him. We believe in him. So, I hope that'll continue.
This isn't what I said before. I did say I cannot bear listening to radio one anymore! It's driving me mad!!! Aaaarrrggghhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!! But, anyway *ahem*
Oh, I feel stupid even now. If I say this at least then go to sleep, at least it shall remain here?............................
I've just realised that I have never actually bought a single. First time for everything I s'pose!
Me too! hahaha. I want Aiden to make the top 10 atleast! I mean, Is this Love has about 700,000 views on youtube and this is before it's been released, so hopefully it'll reach the top 10!

I'm both excited and nervous for the single release. I really really hope it does well

DS single review, four out of five.

I am on mr @MattEdmondson radio 1 show tonight at 9!!! Tune in... Pretty random stuffs go on
Another interview
A certain Mr Grimshaw got the dates muddled up
Fingers crossed for A List next week!

IAMSILLY!!
AND!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It wasn't silly at all, can't believe you deleted it ! I was nodding in agreement when I read it
Positive Aiden mention included in this article about Matt
http://www.entertainmentwise.com/photos/77118/1/Matt-Cardle-Says-That-Hes-Glad-That-Hes-Been-Dropped
It really doesn't seem to do you any favours at all to win the xf!
Haha, silly me! I felt daft
Anyway, exciting times! Single for our grabby hands & lots of love from the world for Aidenmusic! Yay!
PS Felt I ought to say Matt's music hasn't been for me as yet, but I wish him all the best & I hope he can take the path that's right for him now
aww now you have me all intrigued as to what this mystery post was
I think it'll send you an email telling you have it ready for download and as soon as you open iTunes it will then automatically download it.
Same - am super intrigued now!
