Hopefully it is and maybe a sign a new album isnt far away.
Confirmed on Pink's Instagram!
New single, Never Gonna Not Dance Again, released 4th November
Great to be getting a new single! Hopefully an album won’t be far behind!
Oooh, I'm liking the sound of this! It's released the day I go on holiday too, so I have a soundtrack for my trip (hopefully!)
Do we know what this single is in aid of at all?
Looking forward to hearing this!
Some more info... looks like Willow & Jameson feature on the track too
Sounding impressive. Hopefully an album isn’t far off.
I think an album has to be coming.
Really like the snippet! Hope we're getting a new album soon.
The snippet is good.
I love the snippet and can't wait to hear the full song.
So ready for this now!
Wow, it sounds like Kylie's Disco era!
It’s sounding amazing! I doubt it’ll get much support even though it sounds like a hit.
Support will be minimal.
I guess it remains to be seen, you never know.
Yeah it remains to be seen indeed but I can see it doing well in Europe atleast. With a great video and promo hopefully will do its trick.
Sounds ok. Bit of a different tempo to her usual stuff.
Can’t wait to hear this tomorrow! Definitely seems a different vibe from her last couple of leads, hopefully it’ll catch on.
This is much better than 'Irrelevant' for me. Bubbly and carefree. Not sure if it sounds like a big hit though as it's a bit of a change in style for her.
Edit: The outro is so good, love the harmony <3
I'm loving and yeah the outpouring is amazing and I absolutely love the bridge its so heavenly.
I think this has a chance to be big!
Very commercial and very POP!
It was always gonna happen but I love it
It’s been in my head since I heard it and it’s such a vibe right now. Very catchy and upbeat. I have no idea how it will do commercially as I just don’t get the charts these days-most of it sounds crap to me. I don’t think it’ll get Radio 1 support but I also don’t know if that’s relevant anymore. It’d be great to see her get another top 10 hit but not sure it’ll happen.
Really enjoying this! A fun pop song that doesn't take itself too seriously.
Unfortunately I see this struggling to even get Top 40 - I reckon it'll end up doing similarly to 'All I Know So Far' . We will see though, I'd be happy to be proven wrong!
I'm always hungry for new P!nk but I'm a little underwhelmed by this if I'm honest hoping it will grow with repeated listens. Can't see it getting much support or being a hit though sadly
Well it’s no.1 on iTunes with the clean version at 17. Of course, this means absolutely nothing these days and I can never work out the streaming charts. Hoping it can at least get a top 40 peak.
I know itunes counts very little but i didnt expect it to be number 1 either, what was her last itunes number 1?
I think she often gets there? Not sure exactly, I imagine Anywhere Away From Here got there but if not, I know Walk Me Home did.
She's performing this song at the Ama's. And she's also no.1 on Us itunes
It's fine but I can't see myself returning to it much, it's very cheesy 'animated film soundtrack' sounding.
Ok this is my fave thing she's done since maybe What About Us, a bop! I think it's refreshing it's just a fun pop song and she isn't taking herself seriously but I can imagine people will criticise that maybe.
I'd love it to be a hit for her, so much better than the dull dreary Walk Me Home which is easily her worst lead single imo.
I loved Walk Me Home but I agree, as a lead it wasn’t one of her best, hardly attention grabbing.
I do feel like Pink is often held to a really high standard-for over a decade her leads have been criticised one way or another, it’s almost like she can’t win. I think So What was the last time I saw any universal praise.
This is a really fun track that actually has a tune, a message and some memorable lyrics. An actual bop. I can see how it’s not for everyone but it is Pink putting out something a bit different.
Straight to the A List on Radio 2 from tomorrow and Record of the Week from Monday.
Hopefully she can at least go top 100 with this, top 75 would be a bonus.
The video certainly enhances the song even more for me. Such a fun video.
I like it but I was hoping for a bit of a harder chorus like Blow Me / So What. It doesn't switch up as hard as those
I dont normally go for this kinda sound from Pink, and I think if it was any other artist I maybe wouldnt love it as much... but I'm so loving this! After the last few years, its exactly what I need right now
I think Pink has always been good at sounding herself even when changing styles-which isn’t something she’s known for in recent years. But this sort of reminds me of Can We Pretend? Very different sound for Pink but still sounding absolutely like a Pink song.
I’m loving the upbeat feel and agree, it’s been a rough few years and this is kind of the vibe that is needed.
This sound is not different for her at all. She has had plenty of Max Martin bops like this in the past.
I'm not fully sold on this yet, maybe with more listens that will change.
#33 midweek! Doubtful but would love to see her get at least Top 40 with it in a relatively busy week
It’d be so lovely to see her get another top 40 single but I doubt it’ll hold. The charts are so rubbish these days.
Top 40 would be great. Hopefully it can hold. Agree charts are rubbish, though that’s just my opinion.
Same here ie hope it can hold on but I think that it's extremely unlikely I'm afraid. Just hope it doesn't nosedive too far by Friday. I way prefer it to a lot of her singles in recent memory.
I think this even struggle in Australia where she use to get #1’s or top 5-10 hits at ease.
33 is great start, probably wont hold on to top 40 but hopefully she can stay top 50.
37 today! I think it'll just miss out unfortunately but hope I'm wrong!
Looks like it’ll be close, #41 or #42 maybe I think.
Pleasantly surprised at it being #37 today. Would be lovely if it could hang on but I'm inclined to agree that it'll miss out annoyingly. That result would have been better than I projected for it as I wrote it off sounding like a hit. Maybe with some help and promotion maybe it could have turned into one after all.
Ya i thought it would be out, i wonder has it any chance at all at staying in, even it was at number 40 itself.
Debuts at 99 here in Ireland this week.
#46 today
Missed the tip 50 in Australia.
As expected. I just have so little interest in the charts now and I think, bar scraping a low end top 40, Pink’s time in the singles chart is pretty much done.
Yeah it's sad that it's come to that point for her to get a lead single miss the top 40 now but I'm still impressed she managed to sustain that constant success as long as she did.
I think you both make good points. She’s had an exceptional career to date, it’s just the way the charts go now.
Yeah, I don’t actually think she’s necessarily any less popular now than before-obviously you can’t maintain a peak forever though she had a long run-but the way the charts work now, it’s more difficult for legacy artists to peak high. Charts have always been skewed towards young people but it’s even more evident with streaming.
Perhaps it could climb into the top 40? I really like this and was hoping it would hold on. "What About Us?" and "Walk Me Home" both did really well, so was hoping this would be the same. Granted it's possible it may pick up some decent playlist support in the coming weeks and climb to a new peak.
I mean it could at a small stretch become a top 40 hit in January but alas not too sure. Depends on if any streaming/apple playlists are willing to support this or not. Also every now and then legacy acts can grab a hit look at Britney, tagged onto Elton who seems to be magically relevant with certain artists to sneak hits going into his 70's. I wouldn't rule Pink out never getting a hit again.
I wouldn't necessarily count her out. If she got onto a soundtrack or something like that she could still have a big hit.
But the style of pop she puts out as singles isn't necessarily 'in' right now with the majority of chart buyers.
I could also see her doing the Superbowl before she's 50 which would certainly give her career a kick in the pants
Didn't she just go top ten last year in the UK? I think the general mediocrity of the song is the problem as the very low chart positions in Australia and Ireland show (and Aus has been her biggest market). UK seems to be on the better side there.
So it debuted at #64 in Australia. I agree it’s not her best but I think it’s still deserving of top 50.
Her top 10 last year was a feature on Rag N Bone Man’s song and only peaked in the top 10 following a Brits performance. He was also struggling to chart high despite some great songs in that era. And Walk Me Home was almost 4 years ago now. I expect she may snag low top 40 hits in the vein of One Too Many and All I Know So Far but wouldn’t expect anymore than that. As Jupiter says, her style just isn’t very in and couple that with the fact that she’s never been a streaming sensation and she’s lost support from the likes of Radio 1, she’s pretty much just good for charting outside the top 40.
As for Britney, yes she’s managed a top 10 hit off the back of a lot of publicity and it being a duet with Elton John similar to his massive hit from last year, but the jury is still out as to whether she can carry on getting hits like that or revert to being pretty much in Pink’s position.
She was number 2 on the UK single sales chart. Streaming being included in the charts has ruined everything. I still don’t feel that streams are counted in the way that they should be in the charts
Cover Me in Sunshine (which is a lovely song!) has 329 million streams on Spotify and it was released just last year. She has 26 million monthly listeners. The interest IS there with a good and relatable track.
Lady Gaga's jazz albums do nothing on Spotify but then she had a #1 single two years ago and reached #24 with a soundtrack song earlier this year.
Rihanna's soundtrack singles are tumbling down the charts as we speak, but you cannot say that people are not interested in Rihanna! They just don't care about these particular tracks that much.
It's all about the material and the context.
In the UK perhaps but it reached #6 in Australia, #7 in Germany and #4 in Norway among others.
Pink is in that time of her career now where she won't have hits unless it's a one off tik tok sensation it's just how it goes these days. This is far from one of her best singles so top 50 isn't bad considering irrelevant missed the top 100.
It is a chart improvement on Irrelevant so Pink has made progress.
57 in todays midweeks so hopefully a 2nd week top 75.
That’s not too bad, hopefully it can hold on.
Her last few singles have spent time hovering around the 40-75 area before going ACR (except Irrelevant) so I imagine this may do the same.
I like this a lot! It's a nice joyful upbeat number. It kinda became a holiday staple for me and the friends I was staying with.
I wouldn't count it out just yet.
Gets its 2nd week top 75 this week dropping to number 64.
Hopefully it will stay in the top 75 for a little while.
Two weeks in the top 75 is a pretty good result.
A few more would be nicer.
I'd imagine it could sneak one more week top 75 but can also as much drop to like 79 or something too.
I will say it does sound kinda anti-lockdown! Not sure if anyone else heard that and I don't think its necessarily intentional but the lyrics about wasting time and the entire thrust of never not going to dance again suggests that you wouldn't abide by being told not to!
I’m not sure it’s necessarily anti lockdown as I don’t think Pink was, after all both she and Jamieson were quite rough with Covid at the start. But it’s definitely about appreciating every moment and grabbing life in the moment. It’s like don’t ever turn up the chance to dance ever again, we now know what it’s like to live without it.
Looks like she has a good chance of 3rd week top 75 as it was 58 in the monday mids.
I don't think this is really that good, I think there's too many words for one in the main line bit petty I know.
I think it'd sound much better if it was just 'Never Gonna Dance Again' dragging out just dance. I think it would sound better anyway, but then she'd literally have to change up the whole song just to please my pettiness.
Not only do I agree that that is extremely petty but I also disagree that it would make the song better.
Why does no one talk about her AMA performances?
Well she's not only nabbed another week in the top 75 but also climbed as well in the process, up 3 to 61 this week. That's good for her despite missing top 40.
It does make me wonder because she'll get shoved out mainly from Christmas tracks whether she could nab a low top 40 position in Jan?
Its good she has stayed top 75 and climbed.
Great to see this climb. It could get a new peak post Christmas which would be amazing.
What a great live performance of NGNDA! You can tell she's not confident on those skates mind!
The fact this actually climbed with all the Christmas songs to contend with, I wouldn't count this out on potentially being a decent-sized hit!
Nice if it did happen maybe a rebound after Christmas.
Loved both of those AMA performances as posted earlier on thread
I can see this potentially peaking after Christmas but it’s still doing well enough for the time being as it is I’d say
Never Gonna Not Dance Again is iTunes Top 10
STILL!! top 75 in the mids with all those Christmas songs. Crikey. Go Pink!
That’s amazing! Where would it be without the Christmas songs?
She'd be #45 without the Xmas songs.
That’s incredible. Hopefully it’s a good early sign for a January peak.
The signs are positive for good chart fortunes in January.
Held on just at no.75. The Christmas rush is happening.
This seems to be what Pink does now though. Struggle to get low top 40 and hang around the top 75 for a while.
Where would give been without the Christmas songs?
With 25 Christmas tracks above it, number 50, I presume?
It is doing well to hold a top 75 placement among so many Christmas songs.
I feel it should manage to sustain Top 100 this week.
Yeah I think the Christmas songs have killed it chart wise for 2022. Hoping for a good rebound in January.
I think it will easily return in January and hopefully wuth a new peak.
Up to 10 on itunes.
The song was used on the strictly final which should get it a few more sales, its up to 4 on itunes.
Hopefully it re enters the top 100 this week but if nit should easily do it next week.up to 3 now on itunes.
Back up to 3 again.
Number 40 in todays mids.
Fantastic to hear!
Great to hear! Hopefully it can hold on.
Would be wonderful if this could hold on!
Up to #38 in the mids today!
Nice to see it climb! Hopefully it will hold on then, her 37th top 40 if it makes it!
37 top 40 hits? Wow I didn’t realise it’d be that many if this gets there. That’s great!
Hoping it does hold on or if not that it does get there at some point as it stretches her run of top 40 hits, she is doing well to be challenging for top 40 at this stage of her career and especially in the streaming era.
It’s re entered at its original peak of 46. It’ll never go top 40, stuck behind absolute guff and songs that have been around for months.
Disappointed it missed the top 40, but at least it’s showing that it can hang around.
If she can snag some Brits promo she might sneak it!
I see this sliding back out again but a new peak should still be on the cards, just hopefully not 41
I hear this all over Australian radio at the moment.
I'll be pleasantly surprised if it can make it tomorrow, but expecting it to just miss out.
Yeah, I’m predicting #43, which will be a new peak though.
I can definitely see some of the other songs from outside last week which are doing better on streaming and apple platforms kicking Pink out.
She's also dropped a fair bit since last week on Apple so I'd say she wasn't on lock to even be 40 but I'd still like a glimmer of hope and she can make it as it's her last chance now.
Well a new peak would be better than nothing but ideally a new peak in the top 40.
Stalled at 47 this week, actually dropping a place.
I’m done with the charts anyway at this point so I don’t much mind. It’s not impossible but I think it’s unlikely Pink will ever have a big single again, she was the last of my fave artists that could. The charts are such a mess these days anyway and it doesn’t take away from her legacy. Still really pumped for the album.
Yeah I think this’ll drop away now. Still pumped for the album though.
Disappointed it dropped, I thought it would get a new peak this week.
Well, this has unexpectedly just been added to Hot Hits UK so maybe it's not over
Wow, didn’t expect that. Just when you think it’s all but over…
Enters the Spotify top 200 today, yay! Hope it can keep going, I'll be overjoyed if this can now go top 40 at least.
Is this it’s first foray into the Spotify top 200?
#53 today. I was looking at the chart thinking "surely this is older than 7 weeks old" before realising it of course exited the chart over Christmas.
Let's hope the Hot Hits add can help it make some positive moves during the week. 🤞
Hahaha I forget about that too!
Hopefully the play listing helps.
#53 is still pretty good though.
#36 again in the mids. Hopefully this time it’ll stay top 40.
Hopefully this is the week!
Really hope it happens this as it has had a midweek top 40 for a few weeks now and missed out in the end.
Keeping everything crossed for today!
It's all reminding me of 5 years ago when I desperately wanted 'Dancing' to get that one top 40 week.
#46 again.
Sure does like this position...
Its so annoying she keeps slipping out at the end of the week but least its holding up fairly decent and will have decent enough sales in time.
It’s bordering on farcical now that it can’t even get a new peak. I just don’t get the charts these days.
It's not long until the album is released. Maybe the album release could boost it to a new peak or into the top 40? Or perhaps it'll get moved up the spotify playlists to climb a bit higher there to go top 40.
It's got a new peak on Spotify today actually, so who knows?
Maybe next week will be the one
35 in todays mids, i think thats the highest it has been so whether it goes top 40 its hard to know but hopefully it might manage a new peak.
It was 35 last Monday so I expect it’ll be comfortably outside the top 40 at the end of the week.
I feel like we’ve been down this road before. I’ll predict a new peak at least. #44.
At this stage id be very happy with number 44,
I'm saying 42 for it.
I think your prediction could be bang on the money.
#40
Yes!!!! Finally!!!! #40!
It didn’t sit right with this not going to 40 so it’s good to see. Still deserves a higher peak though.
So happy it went top 40!!
I wonder if it could even improve on that in the coming weeks?
40 is better than nothing. I guess it could repeak again with the album soon but who knows. Think 'TRUSTFALL' could potentially peak higher than it maybe though.
It finally made. I'm very happy with that.
#13 on the Airplay 100 this week in Australia.
I've just realised I've been getting a lyric wrong all this time on this song.
In the chorus, I thought "I just wanna pop and lock to my records" was "pump it up to my knickers" (which doesn't really make sense, I know - but I'm not changing it now!)
Hahahaha, that’s brilliant! I love how everyone can hear something a little different.
I know, one for the misheard lyrics thread!
I want to share something personal about this song. It speaks to me, I've been through some awful shit recently and my mental health is shot. I love the sentiment of this, it's a reminder to be thankful for everything you've got & that you're still here standing and to embrace it!
This song came at the right time for me to help me heal and put things in perspective.
38 in todays mids so hopefully another week top 50.
#40 in todays mids, as per the Friday Chart Predictions thread.
Debuts at #99 on the Billboard Hot 100!
43 in todays chart, its holding steady.
Great holding power and at least it hit its week in the top 40.
39 in todays mids so id say it has another week top 50 and also brings it closer to 100k now.
That's great! Has this gone back ahead of Trustfall?
Gets another week at #40 this week
Great to see it getting a 2nd week in the top 40. Its hung on very well.
Great to see. Agree it’s done amazing to nag around. Is it close to Silver?
New peak looks very very possible this week, its 19 in todays midweeks.
Agree, provided it doesn’t drop significantly. Hopefully too 30.
I dont think it will have a massive drop and do think it will get a new peak, ideally in the top 30.
#19
This never felt like a no.40!song. So pleased, 19 is a vast improvement.
#19 is incredible!
After weeks of just missing the top 40 for a whole it's great seeing this go top 20.
Glad this held on to make top 20 in the end.
New peak in Ireland aswell this week, it climbs from 53 to 32 this week.
Big jump in Ireland!
Really happy to see it at 22 in the UK this week, its held on well, 2 weeks top 30 isnt bad at all, new peak in Ireland this week, up 1 to 31.
Good to see this song still has some life left in it even if not in Australia.
20 in todays mids, its holding on well.
Holding up very well!
How long till it hits ACR?
I'm not sure but I think she is safe for another 2 weeks.
The album has helped it out for sure.
Big drop this week as it goes on acr but its had a decent chart run especially after a slow enough start and a frustrating few weeks of coming so close to going top 40 and missing out.
It's had a great run, would've never dreamt it'd perform how it did when it kept falling short of the top 40.
Released one year ago today!
https://pinkhistory.blog/2023/11/04/on-this-day-in-pink-history-4th-november-2022-never-gonna-not-dance-again-was-released/
Wow, a year. This got a lot of flack but I honestly still love it, such positive vibes!
Happy 1st Birthday.
It took some time to grow on me but it did get there.
