It sold a measly 6184 copies, and is thus indeed his worst selling single of the decade... Available for a week or not.
From Music Week:
Mint Royale reign at top of singles chart
Monday June 9, 2008
By Alan Jones
Seventy-nine years after it was written, and three years after it was released, Mint Royale’s version of Singin’ In The Rain rockets to number one. Its success, in the wake of its use in a breakdancing routine by 14-yea- old George Sampson to win the second series of ITV’s Britain’s Got Talent, far exceeds its original 2005 chart peak of 20.
It sold 45,987 copies last week – more than the 26,167 it sold between its original release and its re-emergence last week. Sharp-eyed readers will notice that it has changed label affiliation from original label Direction last week to Simon Cowell’s Syco Music imprint. It is Syco’s sixth number one, following Stevce Brookstein’s Against All Odds, That’s My Goal by Shayne Ward, Leona Lewis’ A Moment Like This and Bleeding Love, and Leon Jackson’s When You Believe.
To accommodate Singin’ In The Rain’s leap, last week’s top three all move down a notch. Rihanna’s Take A Bow slips 1-2 on sales of 28,836; That’s Not My Name by The Ting Tings ebbs 2-3 (23,035 sales); and Duffy’s Warwick Avenue retreats 3-4 (18,906 sales).
Take A Bow surrenders its lead at the top of the chart but Rihanna scores her 11th and 12th chart hits in a career of less than three years, debuting at number 29 with Maroon 5 collaboration If I Never See Your Face Again (4,975 sales) and at number 42 with Disturbia (2,922 sales). All three tracks are supplements to Rihanna’s current album, Good Girl Gone Bad, which benefits enormously from their addition, rocketing 59-12 on sales of 15,042. She now has five singles from the album in the Top 75, with Don’t Stop The Music holding at number 50 (2,707 sales), and Umbrella easing 74-75 (1,810 sales). Altogether, Good Girl Gone Bad has now spawned seven hit tracks, and has sold 783,715 copies.
With its physical release still a week away, Chris Brown’s Forever vaults 17-11 (13,791 sales). It is Brown’s second straight Top 15 hit, arriving 10 weeks after With You reached number eight. It is from the new Forever Edition of Brown’s latest album Exclusive, which is released 23 June. The original version of Exclusive spawned With You and the more minor hits Wall To Wall (number 75) and, with T-Pain, Kiss Kiss (number 38), neither of which had a physical release. Stocks of the original Exclusive are falling fast, hence the album’s 36-56-87 slide in the last fortnight.
Morrissey is out of his teens. After four straight singles peaked between 14 and 17, his latest, All You Need Is Me, has to settle for a number 24 debut on sales of 6,184. As said sales include downloads, CDs and two seven-inch releases, it is likely to climb no further and will thus become his lowest-charting hit since 1998, when Satan Rejected My Soul crashed at number 39. All You Need Is Me is Morrissey’s 47th Top 40 hit in total, his 31st solo, and appears on his current Greatest Hits set.
German techno band Scooter’s latest single, Jumping All Over the World, climbs 47-36 on sales of 4,156 downloads, to become their first Top 40 hit since 2003. Based around a sample from Sailor’s 1976 number two hit Glass Of Champagne, it is the second single and title track from their chart-topping album, and easily beats the number 49 peak of its immediate predecessor, The Question Is, What is The Question.
Continuing at number two on the airplay chart, Californian singer/songwriter Sara Bareilles’ debut single, Love Song, enjoys a big leap in sales to jump into the Top 10. Moving 52-30-23-16-15-6 since its chart debut, Love Song sold 17,202 copies last week, a 69.6% increase over the prior frame.
Rockstar is now Mickelback’s biggest-selling single, with its to-date tally of 456,711 beating their previous best of 423,104 set by How You Remind Me. Rockstar dips 31-33 on its 34th week in the chart while Photograph, another three-year-old cut from the Canadian band’s All The Right Reasons album, improves 85-52, as it attracts considerable airplay. Photograph originally peaked at number 29 in 2005, and has sold 39,714 copies, including 2,681 last week.
While Radiohead’s Best Of set secures a top-five berth in the albums chart, their back catalogue was suddenly made available on iTunes last week. Of 217 selections available, six sold enough copies to make the Top 200, with Creep selling 3,956 copies to return to the Top 40 at number 37, after an absence of nearly 15 years.
