PFAYM and its singles chart success prediction

I think it was always going to follow a similar chart run to SATT initially at least i.e chart high, drop away, get a
mini resurgence from following singles/tour then drop out, possibly reaching gold.

However what PFAYM has that SATT didn't (in my opinion anyway) is greater following hit potential, particularily SKON and Postcards. I still think INWJTEOL was an anomoly and if they replicated that amount of radio play again they would fair far better chart wise

So I hope they wouldn't be writing off PFAYM just yet.

how does it look like?

Don't know if it's been mentioned but it was 17th best-selling album all over the planet last week, selling 49'000 copies. 1'000 less than The Script, ironically.

Also it reached:

#9 in Greece
#20 in Finland
#45 in Sweden
#55 in Belgium
#62 in the Netherlands
#65 in Germany
#87 in Switzerland

Hmmm, looks like those Maroon 5 forums weren't ripe for a Happyfeet trollfest after all.

Thanks for those interesting world stats for the album. I think the album is just going to stay in the top 20 this weekend. After that....

that makes Czech republic the fourth best manics-loving country

[The Gutless Wonder]

Gotta love those lovely Grecians!

[Alt.Duck]

looks set to hold on at #10 or fall just outside it.

[MSPKYE]

Hopefully Saturday sales wont kill it again

When's the next single likely? Surely during the tour? Could help the album if gets a better reception than the 1st.

If they're going to release a single soon they'll need to make a good video this time to get airplay and as they're on tour for the next month Sony will probably churn out another Autumnsong video.

I'm afraid it might be too late for that already.

Or they may have filmed one already. Patrick Jones probably has a couple up his sleeve.
