See, Sony? Now make it 3rd single

Well, from that point of legal downloads it seems the song could succed in Greece with right promotion, and it's very radiofriendly also.

Elena is nowhere in the top 20 Airplay

So, the song is flopping

Nope.I think it's getting bigger day by day but pop songs like Psaxno never become huge hits over the summer in Greece.It's the dance/club songs that usually become instant hits.

But the song is on the digital chart, so it's doing well. Maybe with a stronger airplay it could reach first positions. Anyway, do you hear the song quite often on radios?

Same here.I mean most of the times!

Both songs are doing really well!

nice!

from 80 to 24 woow! that is indeed an amazing climb.

I think Psahno will be higher in the following weeks.

great news!

she is getting higher..!

She is down 2 places.

Yes

so she is higher!

oooopssss...

Psahno is having a good airplay cause is in the Top20, but the sales are not so good... #21 till now (we don't know if it had a higher peak). I've expected more success for this song. At least An isouna agapi is doing very well, it peaked at #5 and stills on chart.

This time 2 years ago, Petra was all over the charts

Exactly what I think, Psanho is flopping

maybe it was a bad choice for single?

it's nothing special... lost in a sea of pop/electro songs

san kai sena/tou erota to aima would be my next choice

What is that sea of electro songs? There aren't that many in greek music.

Maybe he is counting the international ones too

Well, we cannot expect Elena to be always #1. Maybe the next single works better.

Why? When was she #1?

Eurovision 2005!!!

Are you joking? Porta, Petra, To fili, were #1 and big hits. Piro, Tha Me Allios were #2. AIA #5... and I didn't mention the old songs.

And don't forget that TMA didn't get #1 because of Rybak's hype after Eurovision

Well, counting from the 1#s and 2#s, Pshano is surely flopping

46 46 PAPARIZOU*HELENA + PSAHNO TIN ALITHIA

Success!

Well, maybe the song doesn't deserve to be higher... but I expected the IVI promo & advert would make it a smash hit. Maybe it goes higher in the next weeks...

According to Mr. Stefanakis from IFPI, the new CD has not yet been certified from IFPI....

Someone from a Greek forum emailed him asking for Certifications for a number of albums, and he responded. Out of all the albums the user asked about, only three are officially certified. Coincidentally, Stephen (from our forum) emailed him as well asking some other questions, and Mr. Stefanakis responded this week, revealed that most newspaper sales do not count toward an IFPI cert. Also since labels have to pay IFPI auditors to tally record sales and give an official certification, many record label often decide to proceed with unofficial rewards not recognized by IFPI. (Especially during the time IFPI charts have been down, since the public can't check with IFPI) Elena mentioned that the album sold 12,000 copies in stores, so let's see if Sony will get an IFPI cert for it. 12K would put it at Platinum status.

He also said the new charts will be out this month finally! (With some changes as he told Stephen in his email....)

Anyway, below here is the email a user from Musiccorner.gr got:

well.. even if it's not certified it was successful at least.

Derek wrote:I'm surprised Hatzigiannis's latest album hasnt been certified yet.

Maybe Universal didn't want to pay IFPI to count the sales and issue a certification. Who knows. Let's see what the labels decide to do when the new charts go up, and the public can once again easily find out official certifications.

I think certificatons in Greece are a mess since IFPI don't publish the official charts. Labels want to save money and give their own awards just for promoting their artists but without paying the auditors and the certification.
Surely GATO is Platinum at least, we'll see.

You have it completely right. Let's hope the labels decide to pay up when IFPI puts up the charts again.

Thanks for the info Alex and Derek!

Very interesting information!

usually labels wait until they are confident that the album will not gain another certification.

It would be pricey to have to pay for the audit after it reaches gold, platinum, 2x plat, etc. better to wait and pay once.

sales are so low on the greek itunes that the top songs don't really show any trends.

Those are one of her most successful songs. No matter what some charts says.
