Shaun Posted January 5, 2008 at 08:57 PM Posted January 5, 2008 at 08:57 PM Jeeeeeezzzzz! I couldn't care less if it came packaged in a cardboard box!!! The point is Celine has got another physical single out available to buy after it looked increasingly likely we wouldn't get one again!! Let's now make sure we get more for years to come by getting out there and buying it when it's in the shops on Monday and getting it a decent chart position.

salsacolin Posted January 6, 2008 at 03:30 AM Posted January 6, 2008 at 03:30 AM well it wasn't rejected for Delta's album with no apparent reason Well then please listen to Delta's new record and you will find that Eyes on me would be a song that stands out of the boring Pop songs on it. I just hope Delta's fourth album will be as amazing and artistic as the first two! Even I perferred her B-side "Take Me Home" to the 1st single "In This Life" I wonder how the other B-sides and rejects would be But surely, this album is clearly my least fav Back To Topic: I'd like to know if Sony/Celine would change their mind and shoot a video for thi song.... and please, some "proper" remixes than the lame one that we heard Well now that xmas and new year is over she had 2 weeks off she will likely be shooting another video soon - but for which song? I wonder if they will go all out and do Fade Away or will it be alone or eyes on me. I reckon sony should at least get the ITV footage sent to TV music channels for a video for Eyes n Me Quote I never even knew the song the orchestra was playing........

VintageCeline Posted January 6, 2008 at 08:01 PM Posted January 6, 2008 at 08:01 PM Are they not even making a video for it??? It is actually released tomorow, or just released to the stations and Tv to be aired? x Quote http://24.media.tumblr.com/94198518f8a09aef1d336d6fde8fc8b3/tumblr_mkdcezs36X1r7lwiso1_400.jpg
Your_Su_Phu Posted January 6, 2008 at 08:33 PM Posted January 6, 2008 at 08:33 PM HORRIBLE choice. this song is the cheeze. sure it's catchy for a celine song, but in the same unradio-friendly way as Rain-tax or other such songs :x Fade away, surprise surprise, shadow of love are the potential single-worthy tracks on this album.

davidh Posted January 7, 2008 at 02:54 AM Posted January 7, 2008 at 02:54 AM i just checked radio 2s playlsit and shes still on the b list for week commencing the 5th, i hope this encourages people to buy the physical single when its out, but i dun see it on the itunes download charts? Quote
Shaun Posted January 7, 2008 at 02:29 PM Posted January 7, 2008 at 02:29 PM (edited) Just back from getting the single and pleased to say that both HMV and Virgin (Zavvi) are stocking it priced at a reasonable £2.99. I did have to look for it in both stores, but it was there. Quite disappointed though that there is NO mention of the "Taking Chances" album anywhere on the single. You would've thought Sony could've added even "Taken from the new Taking Chances album" or something similar, but nothing. Anyway, it's good to have another physical single. Hope it charts well. We'll get the first midweeks tomorrow.

I wish Céline was given more importance in my country... They're playing Eyes on me remix in discos, but so far I heard nothing on the radio... Quote http://img807.imageshack.us/img807/1352/opo3.jpg
salsacolin Posted January 7, 2008 at 05:00 PM Posted January 7, 2008 at 05:00 PM (edited) In some ways I think Sony cant really promote without a video and Celine isn't here etc etc etc However At the same time.....they could make a little effort. Celine did come across and spend a week in the UK and did a hell of a lot for them. and it has paid considering the album is already platinum and has sold well. Wee short TV ads for the song / album wouldn't go a miss if nothing else for this week at least. Front page on itunes - the song on itunes would also help. Woolworth, HMV, Tesco all have download sites that a wee bit of promo wouldnt hurt on. Plus there is no reason that they could not use the footage from An Audience With as promo. an Audience with was pretty much free promo anyway as I'm sure ITV footed that bill for having her there.

boyblackuk Posted January 7, 2008 at 05:16 PM Posted January 7, 2008 at 05:16 PM (edited) I just went Zavvi (virgin megastores) and there was only 3 copies left and about 20 Britney still on the shelfs. The single is good, great young and fresh cover, Good remix (which has really grown on me) and an in studio video & interview about the song I love it I think it will chart well and get Celine a good single position My only problem is you need to really search on itunes to get it which is very annoying but I have got it and bought it now TESCO have it on their main page www.tescodownloads.com Edited January 7, 2008 at 05:19 PM by boyblackuk Quote

dlh1 Posted January 7, 2008 at 06:23 PM Posted January 7, 2008 at 06:23 PM Just got back from HMV in Liverpool, not good news. They didn't have it in the charts section, you had to look for it under 'celine dion' in the back catlogue, and the album... it's not even in HMV top 40... How sad is that? Quote
fred Posted January 7, 2008 at 06:23 PM Posted January 7, 2008 at 06:23 PM ...TESCO have it on their main page www.tescodownloads.comWhat the crack!! "New Track Releases"?! Be Mine! - Robyn was a single here in Sweden like 3 years ago, and Basshunter's single is just the old track Boten Anna with new lyrics... /fred Quote Peace and love to all.
dlh1 Posted January 7, 2008 at 06:29 PM Posted January 7, 2008 at 06:29 PM I think the reason it's doing so well on amazon.co.uk is because Celine fans who aren't in the UK are buying it as it's only available in the UK. Who knows, if we spread the word, maybe we can get Celine fans from all over the world to buy it on amazon.co.uk and she may even get herself a top 5 hit, who knows, fingers crossed, she needs to sell around 25,000 for number one, so if everyone on this forum buys it, she will deffo get a top 10 hit! Quote
Shaun Posted January 7, 2008 at 06:58 PM Posted January 7, 2008 at 06:58 PM To get into the Top 10 at this time of year in the UK, Celine will have to sell a minimum of about 10,000 copies. Bearing in mind there is no video, apparently minimal airplay and no promotion at all, I think at Top 20 placing would be a great achievement and would certainly force Radio 1 to play it during next weeks chart show. We'll get a true reflection of how well it actually is selling tomorrow when the midweeks come out.

CSCfan Posted January 7, 2008 at 07:08 PM Posted January 7, 2008 at 07:08 PM (edited) It's also possible Sony only sent a limited/small amount to the stores.. I think the reason it's doing so well on amazon.co.uk is because Celine fans who aren't in the UK are buying it as it's only available in the UK. Who knows, if we spread the word, maybe we can get Celine fans from all over the world to buy it on amazon.co.uk and she may even get herself a top 5 hit, who knows, fingers crossed, she needs to sell around 25,000 for number one, so if everyone on this forum buys it, she will deffo get a top 10 hit! Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way.. Everything that is sold to overseas, non-UK countries, doesn't count towards the charts.. To get into the Top 10 at this time of year in the UK, Celine will have to sell a minimum of about 10,000 copies. Bearing in mind there is no video, apparently minimal airplay and no promotion at all, I think at Top 20 placing would be a great achievement and would certainly force Radio 1 to play it during next weeks chart show. We'll get a true reflection of how well it actually is selling tomorrow when the midweeks come out. Are you sure? I really think it's much lesser than that (especially right now and to enter the top 10)....

Shaun Posted January 7, 2008 at 07:13 PM Posted January 7, 2008 at 07:13 PM (edited) Last week Britney's "Piece Of Me" entered the UK charts on downloads alone at #19 with 8,000 sales, and Nickelback's "Rockstar" which was the track at #10 last week actually sold 13,442 copies so perhaps more than 10,000 will be needed.

Shamrock_1982 Posted January 7, 2008 at 07:18 PM Posted January 7, 2008 at 07:18 PM we are gonna have to start requesting the song on local and major uk and ireland radio stations even more so now that its out!!and maybe try & advertise the fact that the song is out now on our own social networking sites etc...
