And isn't this before the CD version of the single is released?

It's in the Top 10 on the UK Singles Chart?

If so, that is excellent. Well done to Alesha!

Do you know what time, I want to listen to it.

I really hope the song is successful for Alesah she worked so hard on her music career.

Did you see her on extra factor.

shes on radio one now i think. shes number 8.

Yes, I managed to catch Alesha on the XtraF .

On the actual UK Chart? That is wonderful .

Just got to it in the neck of time. Number 8 for song that's not even out in the shops is great start.

Love this girl, so down to earth, she's supporting Lisa I'm not sure how I feel about that.

I haven't downloaded it (I'm not into download - call it ignorance), but I am certainly going to buy a hard copy tomorrow. Happily, my taste in music is like a wide wide open chasm, I love all sorts. TMDN is upbeat , it's happy, it's 'get them on the dance floor' party music and I LOVE it!! I can't wait to hear what she has on her album.

Good luck Alesha girl!!!

I'm too old for singles but have the album on pre order.

YAY! number 8!

Same lovely Alesha, she could not pick one person she loved them all. By the way was the results not shocking.

Yes, Alesha never change's .

Indeed ! I am happy for Ruth though - she's my favourite .

BTW, I saw Alesha on Something for the Weekend on BBC2 this morning. She is so down to earth and absolutely loveable.

Number 8!! on downloads!!

CD sales might send it into top 4!

Great result.


Should add. TBDN is the highest pre ordered CD single on amazon!

I know it's silly, but I was actually overcome with emotions when Ruth realized she was saved against Laura.

She was so humble and lovely, as great singer as Laura is, Ruth destroyed her in that dance off. My favorite is Miss Alexandra.

Thanks for that. I never knew it, do you know if it's available on iplayer.

It was a very emotional result . Ruth seemed to be thinking she was the certain to leave, and looked completely shocked when she was saved.

Dance-Off ?

Now, I'd get back on the topic of Strictly, before we are torn apart !

I've got no idea Yasmin. I'm a bit of a technophobe I'm afraid. That's why I'm eternally grateful to all these wonderful people on DS who puts all the links up. I don't know what I would do without them to be honest.

Something for the weekend is on iplayer now.

Out of interest, are the sales figures published? Obviously it will vary a lot but roughly how many downloads get you into the top 10?

Do you get a silver modem or something for 10,000 downloads?

let's do that.


Believe it or not I'm exactly the same Vincy.


Thanks

Thats ok, i only know cos i just watched it myself!

I think this week sales for the top 10 were extremely high. Usually you only need sale of 30-40k to reach number 1.

However it looks like the top 5 or indeed top 10 could all very well sell 20k plus.

So had Alesha released her single the monday after the Strictly performance or indeed has a full week of sales last week, I reckon she would've gone Top 5 easily.

Its a tough week this week with Beyonce, Britney, Leona, X-Factor finalists etc

Sales from Buzzjack

01 X Factor Finalists 189,600
02 Beyonce 64,554
03 Girls Aloud 53,754
04 Britney Spears 46,550
05 Leona Lewis 37,889

08 Alesha Dixon 27,683
10 Pink 26,839

26k usually means top 3... so for the top 10 to all sell over 26k is bloody amazing - strong week for singles sales

Congratulations to Alesha on number 8
This clip of her makes me laugh http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=DwJ3D2EPyEo
