Unlikely. It's down to #14 after yesterday's sales.

14 it is in the Official Chart

I'm surprised it's still that high. After the huge effort to get it to #10, I expected it to bomb last week.

Think all the airplay must have helped. It was the top of the Radio1 and Radio 2 airplay charts. Also it is a cracking tune - I still can't get it out of my head!

I just got the cd single yesterday and it is very catchy. How many formats are there? The single I got has the radio mix and a short (around 7 minutes) Girls Aloud megamix on it.

Thanks Fugitive 1979. It's interesting that there is only one cd single format. I guess they don't sell anymore.

There was the one track promo and the club promo with the all the mixes also, but of course they don't count towards chart position. I would have been happy to have bought some more formats when it was released just to get all the mixes in one place. There is even a fan-made copy of the promo club CD for sale on eBay. I can't feel too annoyed at home made versions of promos, as Girls Aloud's record company could have made these available legitimately.

'The loving kind' is playing in the factory at the moment on Coronation Street

If its the #1 airplay song in Britain, why did it only get to #10?

Heavy airplay is no gaurantee that loads of people will actually buy it. I guess a fair few people might already have the album too.

It's sold 73,000 units in all. Thats actually an excellent performance.

Great sales, will probably nudge over 100,000 eventually, maintaining GA impressive recent record of shifting 6 figure units of their singles.
The curse is dead!
