Streaming was already added in every midweek update. So the 20.2k difference between CSL and Rude included streaming.
I think Rude is getting around 2k per day on streaming and they're only 10% ahead of Cheryl on iTunes so I don't think that today they'll gain more than 4k-5k compared to Cheryl and yesterday more than 3k.
I think Cheryl will be #1 with more than 7k ahead and around 115k sold.
1. Cheryl Cole f/Tinie Tempah - Crazy Stupid Love (97.3k)* [+9.2k]
2. MAGIC! - Rude (78.3k)* [+10.4k]
3. Ella Henderson - Ghost (32.3k)
4. Charli XCX - Boom Clap (31.1k)*
5. George Ezra - Budapest (28.1k)
19k lead. No way they'll sell 20k more than her in just 2 days.
Apparently streaming data from Wednesday is missing from that, but someone on Buzzjack reckons the lead is around 17.5k in that case, which is still really good.
I hope this was just some kinda way to get buzz and get music out there and next single she goes ALL OUT. The good thing about this release strategy is that by the time single #2 is released it will be released before the album so that'll give her another shot @1 with that XF performance
I watched that yesterday live, but it was quite boring imo. I think its partly due to the questions, none of them particularly original and partly because she is still quite closed off in her interviews. I so miss GA Cheryl in interviews, come back to us.
I hate seeing it fall, hopefully she'll start to level out and remain steady, being on the A-List next week should help if they really do spin it the amount A-Listed tracks get spinned and hopefully Capital will continue hammering it.
Edit: The number 3 song might overtake her in a day or two at the rate they are climbing and she is falling, hopefully not though and there climb will slow, which will hopefully be the case looking at the last update.
