It really doesn't take much to get in the 'hit parade' any more.

Nadine Coyle single sells just 117 copies - Behind The Music

So much for having to wait till the 1st week of the year.
She sold less than 2,500 copies and still crawled into the top 40.

That's 117 hard copies from Tesco alone. 90% of the single sales are downloads.

The cd will be obsolete within 5 years. Quite sad really the kids of today will never know the thrill of buying the latest hits as a single getting home & listening to it on repeat.

Or speeding the record player up to 78, and doing some scratching on my dads band on the run album lol.

I used to like ogling at Girls Aloud on TV.

No point in even having a news story for it. Whenever these people go solo it always ends up in poor sales. If she was on TV more, she would sell more, regardless of how crap the single is.

And if your telling me you only need to sell 2500 to get in the top 40, what are we waiting for lol?
