Expected Rubberneckin' U.K. Chartdebut
September 26, 2003 | Music
The Rubberneckin' remix will probably enter the U.K. singles chart at #5, just like we mentioned earlier. The latest sales figures show that Rubberneckin' is about 4,000 copies in front of the 6th placed single but 2,000 behind 4th place. So unless theres a rush to buy the single on saturday, it will probably enter at #5. The track in front of this is "White Flag" by Dido and this has over 17,000 copies sold.

Well considering the embarrassing zero promotion in the majority of the UK, this must be seen as quite an achievement. Who knows, next week might be even better. I presume Todd Slaughters comments about selling 31,000 units in the first couple of days was false. Message to BMG - hang your heads in shame at the lack of promotion Elvis receives. Although in my opinion 2nd To None is a million miles away from being a good release, because of the lack of marketing and exposure on Rubberneckin, I reckon they have lost hundreds of thousands in sales of 2nd To None. Common sense - if you bought Rubberneckin and loved it, the chances are you would have probably bought 2nd To None.

This is a time of stagnation in the music industry. If BMG does the right strategic marketing, they can hit a home run with '2nd to none'. The timing is perfect for the younger generation to become real Elvis fans. The rubberneckin single is starting to catch on, but they must keep it up. see the kids jumping up and down like crazy in the dance clubs when' 'rubberneckin ' comes on. Now they got to tie it up with radio and the album release. Lets go BMG. This is the time...
