Tiesto-Traffic-how could this flop????

[borneoman]

The song here in Belgium and the Netherlands is like the "national anthem". Everybody knows it, everybody loves it, you put it in a pub and everyone goes crazy. I hear it live last Saturday at the TMF Awards and 16000 people went crazy!!!!!

So how could it flop??? I can only assume it flopped due to lack of promotion Maybe Tiesto should go and play some gigs in the UK...

what do u think?

[Admin]

I've seen lots of Tiesto songs in the lower reaches, when was it out over here?
Assume it is flopping thru lack of promo thru airplay and videoplay?

[borneoman]

I think it was out in the UK late last year, Traffic was the single before Love Comes Again.

So he's not that popular in the UK? Here in Belgium/The Netherlands is "almost God"

[Admin]

I'll let you know his full discography in the UK shortly and we can see then how popular he is in the UK charts...

[borneoman]

I only know he's had so far 4 UK top 40, but I think he's had some singles out of the top 40 like Traffic.

DJ TIESTO:
urban train/22
lethal industry/25
643/36
love comes again/30

[Admin]

here are some other peaks for you mate...

Sparkles 142
Flight 643 56
Obsession 56
Traffic 48:3 weeks
Traffic (remix) 85:2
Then also a week in June earlier this year, he had sons at 86,87,88, 99, 102 and 108!

Me too, i never could digest the flops of Dj Tiesto in Uk? I think that he's one of the most talented Djs we have.
Traffic deserves to have been at least a Top 20 hit in UK.
Love comes again should have been in Top 5 in UK, but unfortunately it didn't even reach the Top 20 in UK.
I really hope that his new track does not have the same fate as the abovementioned songs?

I don't undersstand the UK dance scene. Many amazing dance tracks flop, the list would be endless including:

- Delerium (Innocente, Underwater, After all)
- Chicane (Love on the run)
- Everything but the Girl (Temperamental)
- Sonique (Alive)

One of the problems, for example with Tiesto Love Comes Again, is that big shops don't stock them... so then it's impossible for them to chart...

[dandyhighwayman]

There's no probs with the UK dance scene, just that people don't buy the singles anymore unless Radio 1 playlist them!

The actual tunes are huge in the clubs but the singles just don't sell. People seem to prefer those mixed in dance compilations instead.

It's been like this for a while now.

[borneoman]

So then maybe it's the compilations that are killing dance singles sales... many times I'm amazed because most dance CDs have amazing remixes, so buying the CD would be worth it...but nobody does...

I was thinking that some of my favourite dance tracks of recent years were even cancelled before being released, and there are only promos:
Sarah McLachlan - Sweet Surrender (Tiesto Mix)
Everything but the Girl - Corcovado

Why weren't these tracks even released??

[Admin]

Thought you might like to know that Tiesto is at #100 in the airplay chart with Just be!

I really hope that Just Be will b huge in UK.
But was Dj Tiesto not supposed to release Walking On Clouds b4 Just Be?
