Lupe Fiasco & Guy Sebastian "Battle Scars"

[Prinia]

To be released in the US and UK August 28

The full collaboration which shot to the charts in Australia Friday August 10, almost immediately becoming #1 within 24 hours, is Guy's sixth #1 and Lupe has put back his next single, to bring this one out


as below, tweet from Lupe

“@shyles25: @LupeFiasco isnt #BattleScars @GuySebastian song tho?” it's "OUR" song...his album in Aussie my album in US & UK etc...

sorry for my excitement.... but this song has hit all sorts of records, including the fact that Taylor Swift's new song failed to remove it from #1

[Prinia]

when I last looked at USA it was

at #3 on the Hip Hop chart And

#27 on the Main iTunes chart


this is still well within its first 24 hours of release to iTunes. Hoping we might get radio play soon

[Prinia]

radio can now be serviced.

The track has gone to #11 on the iTunes Overall chart. Not bad after 2 days

[Prinia]

now's the hard slog of getting radio play, twitter keeps going off beautifully, with comments from all round the world - except for poor UK and THEIR comments are mainly, why isn't it on THEIR iTunes when its on everyone else's.

now fixed the link for overseas to Lupe Fiasco's video

[Prinia]

ITS NOW IN ITS SIXTH WEEK OF #1 ON TOP OF THE AUSTRALIAN CHARTS

ITS GONE 3 PLATINUM IN THAT TIME

AND HERE'S THE LIVE PERFORMANCE OF LUPE FIASCO & GUY

Guy Sebastian & Lupe Fiasco - Battle Scars -...

THEY WILL BE PERFORMING LIVE ON THE DAVID LETTERMAN SHOW

SEPTEMBER 27

Lupe's Food & Liquor 2 will be out then, and Guy's new album "Armageddon" will be released October 28

[Prinia]

now 4P in 8 weeks, but after doing checking, we think its closer to 5P - selling amazing number of units

[Prinia]

5P last week - I forgot to add. Its slipped down to #4 this week, after almost 3 months in the charts.

And in the US its now featured in the "Red Dawn" trailer

being added to radio around the States too, and slowly climbing up the charts.

Still astounded that it went SO well in its first 24 hours with ONLY the fans who knew about it, buying. It has such potential and is getting rave tweets and reviews around the world.

I believe Guy will be returning to the States for some more performances live with Lupe - it will have to be fitted into his XFactor schedule of course.

[Prinia]

still hanging in at #10 after all these months, in Australia. The album is out of course with it on here.

I believe in the US its climbing the charts and somewhere there was a tweet saying it was a re-entry in hip hop.

Of course it SHOT up in the 1st few days of release, that was incredible and purely because Guy and Lupe's fans knew it was available. So it now has to climb 'normally' as other people become aware

still climbing everywhere, made the top in its genre in Norway and another country (sorry, forgotten where). And big promo hasnt picked up yet, other than of course the film promo.

Here its still sitting high, has surges every now and then so here's a special performance with Guy, only (Lupe-less ha ha )

Sunrise - Guy Sebastian performs Battle Scars -...

He does Lupe's part as well - but differently, and it works

I love that arrangement - and beautifully sung at 7.30 in the morning. The breathing gets me. He must have the breathing absolutely worked out to a T to get through that.
