How sad you are. People buy what they want and listen to what they want, Nobody is forcing you. If people want to buy Subo's records that's their business (& pleasure).

for a second single to enter the charts at number four, then drop one position within a week is pretty poor..

Not really, given the sales. Chart positions themselves can be quite misleading.

Let's all bow down to her

And I hope that you all will be buying it ASAP

No it's really not. Dropping one place is not in any world pretty poor.

Cowell is all about chart positions though, if you aren't consistently hitting that number 1 spot, he loses interest very quickly.. i'd be expecting Cher to get to at least number 2. in her first week.. especially given that the songs above her have been in the charts already for a number of weeks,

I suspect the wanted will leapfrog her.

Maybe some people put their pennies into buying her album instead, since that came out very soon after? I wouldn't buy the single if the album was imminent.

Got to admit I like her new single, it's much better than the old one.

1D have the fastest selling single of the year so far, selling over 153k in the first week. No doubt their album will sell incredibly well, so I'm guessing the producers are really really happy with them?

it is within it's first week.. if a single drops a position the following week after it's chart entry, it usually enters freefall from there on out.. don't be surprised if it falls out of the top ten in the next couple of weeks..
i can only speak from experience i've had singles in the charts, and i still work in the industry.. it's not good..

It's actually common enough for singles nowadays to debut at their highest chart position, this is because pre-orders are now a pretty big factor.

on a serios note, i just don't get the fascination with 1D.. admittedly i'm not a 9 year old girl, so i'm not exactly their target audience.. but i just don't think they're very good.. (they scraped through the x factor finals by being drowned out by backing vocals every week) or good looking?? i can appreciate a good looking bloke.. i got the whole westlife thing, i could understand why girls went crazy for JT, Enrique, Take That, etc etc... but to me, 1D are all a bit on the weird side??

Well you're entitled to your opinion, and thank heavens we cannot all like the same thing. I'm not 9years old, but I have 9year old kids and can understand the fascination for 1D. (Although you admit to liking Westlife).

Anyway, this thread is not about 1D, it's about Cher, so best to stick to that.

Exactly that's all they have.
One single.
One single.
Tell yourself that over and over again.
One single.
Then look at the books, the dolls, the film in the making, the constant banging on about how One Direction are the second coming and then tell yourself again.
One single!!!
And then tell me it's not all hype about nothing.

....and how many singles have the other signed acts from last year got??
I didn't know artists were allowed to release 5 singles at the same time??

Next single Gotta be You released on the 13th Nov, Album released on the 20th of Nov. UK tour for next year sold out in 5 minutes. American tour for early next year.

One Direction have done really well there.

Cher is heading in One Direction - downwards.

It's not falling at all.
It was #5 in yesterday midweeks, and it is #5 in today midweeks.

That must be a joke, firstly they can't sing for shit, secondly no-one sells more than 100 singles these days.

There's a second version at 40. It's 5 in the midweeks. Apologies will still be accepted in the form of Paypal payments.

It's only dropped a place because JLS have a new entry above her. Do you expect Cher to outsell them in her 2nd week?

Didn't swagger jagger break the record for the fastest falling number one? i'd expect the album to do the same.
