En Händig Man is a new entry this week at 59 on the sales chart. Pretty low, imo!

Yes, that position has to be the downloads during monday and tuesday, since the single can’t be included since it was not relesead, cause the listweek is to tuesday? atleast it was that before, maybe they have changed.

I dont like very much this song. Too old for this time. The sounds is like ’80 s!

Bad? It only contains 2 days of downloading when the single had been played a few times on the radio...

It’s not bad, but a non-Swede probably doesn’t understand that.

HKAK is not aviable for comparation as the singles not was released as downloads before the accual date back in 2003, or atleast the downloads was not counted as singlesales back then.

Okay, Zelda, let’s try it your way: “HKAK” was released to radio on May 19th, released to stores on June 23rd, and premiered at #2 on the Swedish singles chart on July 4th, 11 days later. This must mean that “HKAK” failed to reach the top 60 singles when the chart was published on June 26th (3 days after “HKAK” appeared in stores).
“EHM” was released to radio May 21st, to stores May 23rd, and appeared at #59 just two days later on the Top 60. So, using your logic, “EHM” must have charted at least 2 positions higher than “HKAK.”
Of course, as everyone else knows, singles never used to enter the singles chart in their week of release because the charts are tabulated based on sales UP TO and including the day before new singles are released. Downloads have changed that; they are available a few days before the physical single, and during the previous charting period. So, if your definition of a flop is a #2 entry on the top 100 iTunes downloads chart this week, I guess “EHM” is indeed a major flop.

Zelda was right, this is indeed a flop of megasize...

But not too bad considering it’s only been out one day.
