Sorry haven't been here for a little while but things have been SOOO hectic.

What to say?

The single dropped into radio, turns out a little messy with regarding to actually selling it - some stores had different dates, physical cds had been selling for a week beforehand - or a week after the designated time!!

So it first came into our Charts as No. 6

Then No. 4

Then No. 2 - even tho it had been sitting very well everywhere on iTunes - it got pipped by 210 units in sales.

SO THIS WEEK "LIKE IT LIKE THAT" MADE NO 1!!

Everywhere!! The radio edit version has been taking off, gaining momentum all the time. Its being used as promo on Ch. 7 here in Australia, and non-fans of Guys have been coming over in a storm. If say that probably around 15 - 80,000 views in a three week period is considered amazing and definitely a hit on youtube- Guy is now lining up for 200,000!!!!

He's being run off his feet, finishing the album which will now be released in Australia on October 16 (a week delay), he just finished a Christmas Carol for the "Spirit of Christmas" CD which comes out each Christmas in aid of charity, he's writing or re-doing a couple of football anthems, he apparently has a BOLLYWOOD album in the pipeline - see his management, now http://www.6degreesmanagement.com.au

Titus Day is still his Australian manager

He has an EP on Australian iTunes which is AMAZING... seriously, the production is awesome and the songs superb. They include a cover of "Private Number" with US singer Cece White and beautiful song "Only Girl in Town" which I love desperately and which had better feature on stage.

And the song doesn't look like dropping, radio loves it.

I've put it like that so you can easily pick up the bits and pieces alongside, because he's barely been off TV or the air. In fact, did a Sunrise show where he turned up at before 6am - and was appearing with his band that night as main act for launching of new magazine! So in the Sunrise show he's not exactly being his usual sparkling self LOL.

The direct link above is to him appearing on Project7, at 7pm. Remember he's got a v. dry sense of humour

:banana :cheers :party :yipee :star:

Absolutly BRILLIANT :D

Way to go Guy feeling so proud and happy for you :wub:

He so much deserves this doesnt he.

Its a very popular song among people who havent liked his other music for one reason or another. :wub:

I'm so thrilled for him Rhonda - we know how difficult its been over the years :rolleyes:

but now :wub: :banana

He's so BUSY!! :haha:

but managed to fit in an indoor cricket game, and will be playing 'proper cricket' on Sunday... wish we knew where... :ph34r:

anyhow



For the second week - the song is taking people by storm and the only ones commenting against it are those who have never been Guy fans, and/or are extreme fans of other artists - in other words not those who have ever bought his music, listened to his music, gone to his shows etc. :rolleyes:

So pleased that he has now had FOUR number one hits - and all without 'extras' to sell them with, too.

Ch. 7 using as a promo however, and also Fox stepped into that plate.



Even before he got his number 1 in Aria Charts he had this
"

#1 national airplay chart
#1 itunes
#1 bandit.fm
#1 bigpondmusic
#1 hot 30 many times (since it went to radio it has always been in top 4 generally #2 or #1 to my knowledge)"

supplied by one fan on September 3

physical CDs still hard to get

sorry to his US fans, he was building a nice audience in New York, with other States lining up but everything has just taken off here. This time is usually his busiest anyhow and with the added excitement of "Like it Like That" and the forthcoming FIFTH studio album (not counting The Memphis TOUR Live, or Your Song - both of which are available on iTunes), it really is 'all happening'.

also a quote from Mark Sheenan from The Script is yet another overseas soul musician who is impressed with our talented Mr Sebastian.

and Guy will be on the Grand Final AFL Footy Show on TV... (his Adelaide Team The Crows has been really shaping up this year :P )

and just for the icing on Guy's cake

Guy has had "The Memphis Tour LIVE" in top iTunes Blues Albums since its inception. "The Memphis Album" continues to hold steady in pop iTunes albums, "Like It Like That" was sitting top of Pop singles AND overall
and Guy and Gary's "Receive the Power", sung by Guy and Paulini has been either on the top of Inspirational or at least in the top 10 since around 2008 - and now Matt Corby's EP is looking very good indeed (Guy has always been keen on producing, loves the 'sound' one can get). He's such a musical talent. :wub:

Thanks for that info Prins :wub:
Was great to see LILT reach the #1 position for 2 weeks running , now sitting at #2 with a lovely <P> next to it :banana

Agree also Rhonda ,Guy's success is so well deserved and it is wonderful to see so many people embrace this song , can't wait for the album to hit :D

Hi Jillz! :banana

gotta love our fella, amazing music, awesome Guy

Guy Sebastian's single has been raging around Australia, with Platinum sales pushing through the roof by 6 weeks!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kS5mzKTvdJk

From Sanity (thanks Butterfly)
PRE-ORDER Guy Sebastian's NEW ALBUM 'LIKE IT LIKE THAT' before 23rd October 2009 at sanity.com.au and receive a SIGNED COPY! While stocks last.

If there's one thing that this album will do, Guy Sebastian's fifth studio album LIKE IT LIKE THAT will move both your feet and your heart and get right into your bones whether you like it or not. And a huge serving of soul is exactly what informs LIKE IT LIKE THAT. The album was recorded over the first six months of 2009 in Los Angeles and New York. The album was produced by David Ryan Harris (John Mayer, Mariah Carey, Neville Brothers), and Fredrick Rodesjo with Mayer himself featuring on guitar on a few tracks - 'All To Myself', 'Fail To Mention' and 'Never Be You'.

The result is an album of true musical depth, an album which perfectly showcases the rare and charismatic talent of one Guy Sebastian. It's all about big sounds, bigger beats, blasting horns and those oh-so-soulful Sebastian vocals.
