I don't mind this thread tbh, it's just the comparison between two "love" singles from 2 pop girls who have released their songs in the same period of time. I'd add JLO's First Love too lol
I don't think Your Love will do very well in the charts, I see a top 20....
But CSL is really disappointing tbh. But it's Cheryl Cole, so it will be a top 5 or top 3 for sure.
And yes, pre-orders always matter when it comes to the charts
DHYB was also nowhere to be found yet it ended up at #1 and finished the year as the 32nd most-sold single in the UK
Well if Nicole doesn't care about getting extra sales before the official release date, that's fine with me. Not my problem if she sells less than she could have by promoting the pre-order a bit. Your Love going #1 and finishing the year within the top 40 singles won't happen though.
