Alexandra Burke ft. Erick Morillo - Elephant

Umm.. yes and no. It's holding up favourably compared to some songs.. I think it'll do her a bit of good that she's just overtaken JLS (a song out a week after, a Sport Relief single and a fully playlisted one) on ITunes - so there are songs doing worse, but 'three weeks top 20' isn't something we'd have hoped for at the start of the campaign.

(funnily enough she sold almost exactly what JLS sold this week in her first week - they did a tiny bit more)

She added 21.6k this week, taking her total to 64k. So far this week she's added 5k and sits at 17 in the midweeks. Azealia will very likely overtake but then hopefully Alex will leapfrog JLS, so if she can stay at 17 by Sunday, I'll be pleased.

I think #3 without Radio support is awesome, regardless of the longevity. I play this almost every day lol - cannot wait for the album now

Oh cool! I noticed it slipped to #26 earlier this week so that's good. Is it 59p by any chance?

Yeah I didn't realise it was 59p and thought it was just working some miracles :lol:

But still pleased! Looking like it might get a fourth week top 20

Don't know what it sold at 18 last week but Olly at 28 did 10.3k so I'd estimate it did another 15/16 taking it's total to around 80k so far.

Might be pushing it but 150k total would be nice, albeit quite low for a lead single. Hope the next single is the monster hit that gets people anticipating the album.

Possibly after all these months I could say this ismy favourite song from hers... far better than "Bad Boys" and extremely catchy! I love Alexandra, she's so talented in every single way... AND me and my bff always talk about this! It's so damn cool!
