Katie Price’s single Hurricane only got to number 63 in iTunes chart – and has now dropped to 158
KATIE Price's dreams of pop stardom has hit the skids yet again.
Her new single Hurricane peaked at a lowly number 63 on the itunes chart, and has now PLUMMETED to number 158 after just one week.
The mum of five, 41, dropped her latest track, a dance number with producer Rick Live, last Thursday- conveniently timed with her announcing on Loose Women that same day that she is engaged to boyfriend Kris Boyson.
Many saw the announcement as an attempt to get publicity for the new single, which she debuted the previous month at a pool party in Majorca, but it has clearly backfired.
The song entered the itunes charts on 25 July at a disappointing number 63, but has now dropped an incredible 95 places in seven days and is currently languishing in the 158th position on the charts.
The chart failure doesn't bode well for the performance of her upcoming album, which she also announced on Loose Women.
The star even claimed she had worked with Ed Sheeran on a track.
Katie told the panel: "Someone already, he’s an A-lister, he has two top ten hits at the moment, who has co-written a song for me and my album as well.
“It won’t be hard to work out who that is.”
Coleen Nolan pressed her former co-host and Katie finally caved in, admitting: “Ed Sheeran!”
But Katie was left with egg on her face when Ed's rep denied he ever worked with the wannabe songstress.
And just yesterday, she revealed she wanted her kids Princess, 12, and Junior, 14, to sing on her new album, but their dad Peter Andre wouldn't let her.
In an interview on Flex FM, she admitted: "I'd love to have my kids on my album but I suppose I have to pass it through someone else who probably won't let me because they'd want to do it first but anyway we'll cross that bridge won't we."
Of course Katie is no stranger to crashing and burning in the music world.
Her first attempt at pop stardom was when she tried to represent the UK in Eurovision back in 2005.
She entered Making Your Mind Up, the contest that chose which song we sent to the competition, with the track I'm Not Just Anybody.
She famously performed while pregnant in a skintight pink latex suit and was compared to a 'pink condom'.
Katie later claimed entering the competition was her one regret in life, saying she "couldn't sing the song now and couldn't sing it then".
But she did not give up on her dreams, later teaming up with then-hubby Peter to release an album of love sings called A Whole New World in 2006.
The lead title single, a cover of the hit song from the Aladdin soundtrack, missed the top ten despite heavy promotion (including a cringeworthy performance on Children In Need), peaking at number 12 on the chart.
The album later limped in at number 20.
Following the record's release, 40,000 copies of the album were found rotting in a barn in Hertfordshire after stores returned them because they couldn't shift them.

Still, Katie did not give up and in 2010, she released Free To Love Again, which entered the UK charts with a bullet at number 60.
Ever the tryer, two years ago, Kate had another crack with the song I Got U , penned by X Factor reject Craig Colton.
After a shaky live performance on Loose Women, the track entered the itunes chart at number 46, dropped to 91 a day later and after three days, was out of the chart entirely.
