kenzieboy Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 Just seen the Top 100 album chart published yesterday and surprised Gareth is not in it. I know there was very little publicity for the album but thought it might at least chart given that album sales are so low and it does not take much to get into the top 100 I was surprised how little Gareth did to promote the album (no album signings for example) and even though he did quite a few interviews it seemed to get a little lost with the big reunion and dancing on ice tour promotion. Shame really that more people were not aware that the album is out as I thought it could do quite well with the profile Gareth as at the moment 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khelda Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 Gazman the album is not chart eligible because of the price being too low (so no way of knowing where it would have ended up), I think it was just released to get Gareth back into people's mind without spending any money on promotion. (hopefully they will do things properly when he releases his next new album) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eternal Posted March 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 I was surprised how little Gareth did to promote the album (no album signings for example) and even though he did quite a few interviews it seemed to get a little lost with the big reunion and dancing on ice tour promotion. Shame really that more people were not aware that the album is out as I thought it could do quite well with the profile Gareth as at the moment Gazman, only Gareth and his team know the reason why the album was reduced to £3.00 making it as Khelda says not chart eligible. It does seem a shame that people didn't see the album chart as may be wondering the same. However I did go into Tescos today and had to say it was nice to see Gareth's album on the shelf. There were two top 50 music charts. The one Gareth was No.15 in all the albums were priced @ £3.00 or thereabouts and then there was the 'proper' music chart. I don't understand it!?? I have to say that I do think there has been quite a lot of buzz about Gareth's album and am pleased that Sony although no TV advertising did send out emails, which for me was a first. Gareth had no radio airplay(which he probably wasn't going to get with all old songs but it looks like the album didn't do too bad, all things considering. Perhaps this was purely to advertise the tour(which certainly caused a buzz) and then get ready for the next album? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NicolaJayne Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 I do hope though that if Gareth releases a single it will be more upbeat and catchy as his Stay, Free and Hold Tight are in a similar vein to Changes and AOMS from his last album. I am out of touch with the charts but in my opinion he may be able to get higher with an upbeat number. Does anyone else think so. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khelda Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 I agree Elaine, but I have a feeling that having put those 3 songs on this album, he might have completely other ones for the next album? If he wants to have success, he needs to release a song the general public like and the radio station want to play. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NicolaJayne Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 That is what I was trying to say Khelda, he needs a strong song that is going to stick in people's minds. And be radio friendly. I actually wish too that he could release it incognito as I think the radio stations could still be prejudiced against him. I must admit to not liking the tension of whether or not a single or album etc is going to chart well. I much preferred his stints in musicals where his success depended on his natural talent, the music business is much more fickle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khelda Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 He wants to do it again though Elaine, and give it his best shot. I am sure he will be back in musicals in the future. We just have to ride the wave so to speak. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he does, he is very brave and I admire him for it and hope he is successful of course. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 CD is nice to listen to in the car. The new tracks are Ok, but don't blow me away. I think Free is the best of the three, but don't think any of them are singles material. They're just not catchy enough to interest people who aren't Gareth fans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Val4Gareth Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 Thanks Heather. Quite good isn't it. I've posted the link on Twitter. I hope you don't mind. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NicolaJayne Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 Yes it is quite a good review but I wish everyone would get their facts right, Gareth didn't win Pop Idol. I was pleased to see it in my Big Tesco at Brookfield this week, it was at no 15 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorksheather Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 I liked the fact that they say Gareth's new songs show that Gareth has matured , nothing negative like not catchy enough . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val4Gareth Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 I liked the fact that they say Gareth's new songs show that Gareth has matured , nothing negative like not catchy enough . Yes, I thought that too and also that the Greatest Hits was a long time coming. Think its not only us who have been patiently waiting for new music from Gareth. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eternal Posted April 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 Have merged my 'Not too sure what to make of this' with Khelda's informative information about the album.Gareth could do with some quick, sharp reviews on the Tesco site HERE 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorksheather Posted October 10, 2014 Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 I have noticed Gareth's Greatest Hits Album is on you tube, it looks like you have to subscribe to listen . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CwOdPhphsFU 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorksheather Posted October 11, 2014 Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 It isn't showing what was showing before . It was the whole of Gareth's Greatest Hits Album, the latest one. There was a lovely pic of Gareth and all the tracks were listed . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eternal Posted October 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 I did see a lovely photo and all the tracks listed but there were lots of them. Seem like a huge compilation. Wonder why it has dissappeared? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorksheather Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 I think the chap has decided to go private , I found it by looking for Gareth on you tunes , under 'added that day '. It doesn't show now when you search. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eternal Posted October 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 I thought the whole idea of Youtube was to advertise. Do people post and then go private? Would it be just themselves to listen to it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorksheather Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 This link is working now, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CwOdPhphsFU Although it says it was published 10th October 2014 . You can listen to 23 tracts and not the same as The Very Best Of Gareth Gates , maybe this person has put together his own Best Of Gareth Gates ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eternal Posted November 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2014 It looks like this is his/her own choice and a great choice it is. I actually like the album better without Spirit In The Sky. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
