The wonderful Alan Jones has provided the answer in the column he does for Music Week:
Last week's mass invasion of Eurovision entries is followed by a mass departure. Those that remain are down hugely - The Common Linnets' Calm After The Storm dives 9-54 (4,058 sales), Conchita Wurst's Rise Like A Phoenix slumps 17-64 (3,319 sales) and Molly's Children Of The Universe plummets 23-88 (2,458 sales). 16 Eurovision 2014 entries depart the Top 200, along with Emmelie De Forest's 2013 winner Only Teardrops, and her latest single Rainmaker, which served as the official song for but wasn't an entry in the 2014 competition. |

I'll bet the Eurovision songs, enjoyed by the public, got virtually no radio support and dropped in this week's chart. Record labels and radio programmers are SO rubbish! |

Don't you have to sell about 2 copies to get to No 97 ?
2,251 to be exact, to be 97 last week. (So, ITK, only 2,249 out. no surprise there!) |

I think this illustrates a) it was the best collection of songs in ages and b) that TV exposure still has a huge impact on sales. I wish we could say the same for radio. |
