Thanks for the Yulia write-up, Dave ! For those on this forum who don't know yet, I started www.yulia-townsend-international.com three months ago - just on the strength of rumours from NZ about how Yulia was affecting people's emotions. I beat the record company by three months in setting up a site . They returned the compliment by a complimentary copy of "Into The West" ... Still, Pure has gone platinum 11 times - that record will take some beating! Gerrit

Also, some more news about publicity for Hayley in Germany, which might help in raising her profile: On Hayley's official German site photos are now available from Hayley's very first visit to Germany, on June 21, in Hamburg. Some very good photos at: www.hayleywestenra.de/foto.phpAfter her concert tour of Germany, Hayley will have her second TV appearance on German TV on Sunday October 17. My video recorder will be ready! Gerrit

Oz: Pure has reached 2nd place in the Australian HMV classical chart, only Bond are ahead. Andrea Bocelli is 3rd.
NZ: Pure goes up a bit to 29th and Yulia Townsend has her 2nd week at the top.
UK: Well they did let James Galway into the Classical Artist Chart this week - he's top. it was in the Classic FM chart *last week*, very strange. It's the reason why Hayley slipped another place.

Another great week for Hayley. 54 weeks in the top 10 of the UK Classical Artists chart!! I don't know if you have the information but, it would be interesting to have the figures for CONSECUTIVE weeks in the charts, excluding re-entries. Cheers, Keith.

[/size] [/quote] I'm sorry, but right now I am feeling VERY cynical. Pent-up demand for the re-release? If I am not mistaken, the original version of Pure has been sold close to a million times in the UK. Which wouldn't be very far from 2% of the population. I simply don't think there will be a pent-up demand for a re-release. I think the market is close to saturation and the only pent-up demand will be from existing fans. I am not aware of any other singer who has had so many different versions of the one album released (with or without 'bonus CD"). The more I think of this 'bonus CD' stuff, the more I am inclined to think it's rubbish. Once again, I apologize to any genuine Hayley fans out there, but I think it's about time a message should be driven home to the record industry that fans don't accept this exploitation. Gerrit

Hayley's performances on ZDF and ProSieben seem to have gone down well - Pure has shot up from Amazon.de sales rank 144 yesterday evening to 12th today, as I write. This is the highest I've seen Pure on Amazon.de, it only reached about 30th after her first TV appearance so we should see Pure back in the German official charts next week. More chart news: UK Pure dropped another place in the classical chart, to 11th. And Amazon have just moved the UK special edition of Pure from their classical section to their pop section but I don't know if this has any "official" significance. Here is a photo of the new CD case - err I mean the new "sticker"

Hayley's current chart positions Friday 22nd October 2004. Updated 23rd October (Germany)[/b] All charts except Japan cover CD sales ending Saturday last week. Japan is usually a couple of weeks delayed. Blue entries - In current chart. Red entries - Out of current chart.

AMAZING GRACEJapan Internat. Singles 5 (3) 1 46 Two weeks out of date[/PRE][/SIZE] Germany: Pure is back in the German pop chart at 99 - and this is for album sales *before* the two recent TV appearances. Pure spent 3 days in the Amazon.de top 20 this week, and another two in the top 30, which should ensure a boost in the official chart next week.
Incidentally, Pure is not eligible for the German classical chart - but if it was, it would be 2nd this week (the top classical CD - Anna Netrebko - is at 79 in the pop chart and falling). Canada: In what looks like a slip-up, the Canadian Classical top 15 was released as a top 100 this week! Unfortunately, all this reveals for Hayley is that Pure's positions over the last three weeks were: 39 - 54 - 65. [/size]

Although Pure is not eligible for the German classical chart, if the same chart rules as the UK applied, it would be number 1 this week!!! The top classical CD - by Anna Netrebko (what a voice!) dropped to 96 in the pop chart this week and Sarah Brightman is in at 99 - so they would be 2 and 3 (hypothetically). Incidentally, "They call me Hansi" by James Last entered the chart at number 26. He was of course on Pro Sieben with Hayley last week, and was featured throughout the show. [/color] Canada: If they keep publishing the classical top 100 I'll add these recent positions into the charts proper, we shall see. Pure is up from 65 to 34! [/size]

I cannot see why anyone would want to buy it now, until the Special Edition is released in 10 days time - only a bargain bin sale can save it now (if anyone has stocks left).
The UK Special Edition has at last started to pick up in pre-release sales at Amazon, nothing exciting though: it is around 650 overall, 30 in their classical list and 4th in the classical pre-release ranking. All the online retailers will be stocking Pure *except* (so far) Virgin Megastore and - importantly - Tesco. It will be VERY disappointing if Tesco do not stock it and this would hit the sales significantly - let's hope they are just slow in updating. Best price to date is Amazon, at £9.99. [/size]
