I keep thinking he keeps seeing her ghost and that is when he falls apart.

So there's a lot of talk about promoting, buying extra copies and gifting the single now. Shouldn't we wait until the actual adds date?? That was my plan. Do pre-add date sales count?? I want to make sure we make the biggest impact for his first week of sales. Anyone up to speed on this kind of stuff???

I want to make sure we make the biggest impact for his first week of sales. Anyone up to speed on this kind of stuff??? I dont think sales for a single really matters on the add date or on the release. The whole first week sales thing is more of an idol thing, or for big established artists, or it is more important for album sales. I think selling consistently week after week whilst getting airplay is more important, and your overall sales is the thing that really matters. I dont think sales is important at this stage. I think they would only start looking at sales when the song actually starts charting in the 30's and 20's, I think at that stage they would want to see the song sell consistently on a weekly basis. People need to be able to hear the song to buy it. I dont think they are interested in selling to people who are already Casey fans. It is about selling to the casual country fans, and that can only happen when they hear the song. On the otherhand, they only released this song to Sirus at first, so they must be testing something, and what better way is there to test the reception of a song then to look at the sales? But then again I dont think they would just look at first week sales, they would properly rather look at how the song is still selling in a weeks's time or in two week's time. To make a long story short, first week sales or one week's sales figures, for singles are a bit irrelevant because singles then to sell more the higher they chart and that only happens long after release.

I think gifting it is a great idea. But promoting it to radio is useless since they can't even play it. I think where it is at on iTunes is great considering everything. If it can stay there when it hits radio it should do very well.

This is kind of interesting. On Casey's itunes page it lists the order of the songs based on sales. It's already right behind suitcase and let's don't call it a night.

So another on the verge artist is going to be announced next week. I don't think casey could get it but it is fun to think about and just maybe that is what Sony has been waiting for.

Casey fell out of the top one hundred on iTunes. But this is funny. Someone on pulse is like how is Eric Pasley selling so well. He is one hundred country on iTunes lol. But casey got much higher then him. A poster had to explain about serious.

Check out jhomes post on pulse in the Chase Bryant thread. Not much explanation behind the determination that the next OTV artist won't be Casey but it seems he could be someone that's being considered. I think there's a lot of buzz and it's not outside the realm of possibilities. That bring said I'm not holding my breath even though I think it's a no brainer. They kinda need to pick a female sometime soon.

I copied that quote and put it in Casey's thread. FYI. He seems to be in favor of consideration but I just don't have enough faith in Sony to get it done. All this being said I'm a bit surprised at the cautious optimism Pulse members have in this song and Casey. They are a snarky bunch and I haven't seen any of that in the comments that have been posted so far.

Actually. How can someone be the OTV artist without an adds date??? Here's to next month. Hope they pick a female next week!

I think a no ads date raises hopes he might be the orb artist.
