Highly significant that Eurovision is having an impact. Instant sales availability reflects instant gratification even for minority interest sounds. Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.

And the strangest songs making the lowest regions of the chart and sticking around. See my "downloads and man boobs post" for a lovely example. Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.

As we all know, sales are way down (even cheap downloads, still predominantly stolen)... the few that do sell are through iTunes which can reflect instant impulse - a) they are cheap and b) they are easy. Modern world. 15 minutes of fame has turned into 4 seconds of attention. Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.

Alexander only went in at 10. Presume all of it from weekend sales. The chart company have not yet updated the top 100.Fairytale at 2 in Finland (Urban Synphony at 10) and Yohanna at 4. Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.

agree with what you say about cheap impulse buying JK but at the same time if Alexander had had a TOTP appearance after the win he'd have done even better. Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.

Interesting - Jade was only 27; clearly the impact on both - all - Eurovision hits was just after the huge rated show.

So did any radio play Fairytale? I suggest not, apart from immediate news reports. Yet listeners clearly want to hear it. Bet it gets almost no airplay now. I think this indicates two things...

1) Instant gratification rules

and

2) Radio is out of touch with its listeners.

I was thinking the sameabout radio play- just checked the radio 2 playlist and Fairytale is nowhere to be seen- hmmm, that is the station where you'd expect to see it playlisted if anywhere. Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.
