Strudel Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 UPDATE 2 Well the last update i had was that MIKA was number 1 in the itunes chart. Again exclusively for the Mika Fan Club i can announce that he has now charted in the Top 10 for this weeks chart according to latest midweek figures This is brilliant to say the least, 3 weeks before release, downloads only and a top 10 placing with probobaly him climbing the chart further... Ladies and Gentlemen, I think we will have a Number One out of this sometime in the next month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howzda Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Yay!!! iTunes should really be quite a good indicator because they're based on sales and not the views of one 'professional'. GO MIKA!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cautionary Wife Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Right here for the latest info on chart positions for Grace Kelly, Interesting choice of genre heheh They are confusing him with the 'other' MIKA. As http://www.amazon.co.uk/Mika/dp/B00004TTVJ/sr=1-4/qid=1168380417/ref=sr_1_4/202-9264697-2216653?ie=UTF8&s=music I ended up with a download album by the wrong guy - thanks iTunes. GRRRRRR!!! CW.

Strudel Posted January 10, 2007 Author Share Posted January 10, 2007 Brilliant News !!!!!!!! Thanks Starsie, Can we ask who you are, 'Mika Insider' sounds a mighty fine title Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starsie Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 thats the title sunny gave me, what makes me this should stay a secret!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
royalmadman007 Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 This truly is great news, and a little surprisng considering it has only been out on download from Monday Absoutly smashing news though, made my evening! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephane Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 It might interesting to have a look at what will be realeased the same day than Grace Kelly New Release Schedule (Physical): Monday 29 January Bloc Party – The Prayer Bowling For Soup - High School Never Ends Captain Flashback – Crazy Horses Dartz! - Once Twice Again! Erick E - The Beat Is Rockin' Fall Out Boy - This Ain't A Scene, It's An Arms Race Hot Club De Paris – Shipwreck (2x 7â€Â) Josh Groban – February Song Junior Jack – See You Dancin’ Kasabian – Me Plus One The Little Ones – Oh MJ Mark Morrison - Dance 4 Me Mika – Grace Kelly My Federation - Honey Bee Nas – Hip Hop is Dead Nick Lachey - What's Left Of Me Noisettes – Sister Rosetta (Capture The Spirit) Pink Grease – Carlights Pop Levi – Sugar Assault Me Now Protokoll – Paradoxon Public Domain feat Lucia Holm - I Feel Love Roger Sanchez - Lost Sarah Nixey – When I’m Here With You Seth Lakeman – King And Country Switches - Drama Queen I think N°1 is really possible but I'm scared of Bloc Party's come back (even though the song is not as good as their previous singles) but this is it, no big names so it's really possible! Though I don't understand why the release of GK is so late, usually a physical single is released a week after the download... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
royalmadman007 Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 That was when it was done before the new rules came in, last week. It only counted on the chart if it was released a week before it came out in shops. Now with the new rules it can be released anytime digitily before the single comes into shops.

Stephane Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 yeah I know about the new rules, but I'm just saying that I don't see the point in releasing physically the single 3 weeks after... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
royalmadman007 Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Better sales and to give all those people who don't have a computer a chance. But I see what you are saying, that it is strange to reales it on download so early. Maybe it's just to highten the coverage of it- get it talked about a lot before it even comes out.

Stephane Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Well today downloads are more important than physical sales, but a combination of the 2 might have helped to be N°1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avie Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 I think N°1 is really possible but I'm scared of Bloc Party's come back (even though the song is not as good as their previous singles) but this is it, no big names so it's really possible! Bloc Party should get top 10, might get top 5 (even though it's their weakest track for a while, I think it'll benefit from the 'comeback' tag). Fall Out Boy could be another obstacle, but I think Mika should make it to the top of the tree. Though I don't understand why the release of GK is so late, usually a physical single is released a week after the download... Because otherwise people might download it illegally and it's sales wouldn't count. Now that the charts have changed, the whole way music is released or flagged up for attention has also changed.

Strudel Posted January 11, 2007 Author Share Posted January 11, 2007 Not my usual source, so I can't be sure of how reliable this is, but i've just seen that Mika is at Number 3 in todays midweeks !!!!!! Perhaps Starsie could confirm this wonderful and hopefully true news ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephane Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Because otherwise people might download it illegally and it's sales wouldn't count. Now that the charts have changed, the whole way music is released or flagged up for attention has also changed. I know, it's a good thing, but I meant, the single should have released next week Anyway Mika is not in the Top 3, and he will certainly end up top 5 (according to Thursday mid-sales) cause he's not far from it He still could end up at number 1 this week But next week JoJo or Just Jack might get the top spot but Mika would reclaim the top spot when his physical single is released .
