Apart from the zoom out their dancing in Nicki’s part was really good. Was it an Oops into Touch moment? No, but I don’t think it’s their worse. Idk if it’s watching on a phone on YouTube but it did feel like synced in places. Was not a fan of the white beginning with the random stool - once that bit was over it definitely picked up.

‘horrendous’ is such a reach. For most other UK girl groups it would be one of their better performances.

Agreed, it's not my absolute favourite and I felt disappointed/deflated but it's just because they're 99% of the time so on it and imo one of the best live acts around who always smash it, so them just being ok is definitely disappointing. A bit of a microcosm for the song in general, it's really good but not incredible or one of their absolute best so I guess it can easily feel like a bit of a disappointing lead. I'm really liking it but not going back to it as much as I did with any of the other leads with really grabbed me and held my attention, it's just a solid bop and we're not used to not having a huge pop song as the lead.

I totally cringed when they awkwardly mimed along to Nicki's rap. It wasn't a great performance considering what they're capable of.

I still don't see the issue with the dance, break, I really like the one they do during Sean Paul's rap on Hair, too. I think it was a perfectly polished performance.
Anyway, new peak of #3 on Apple Music and back up to #2 on iTunes. They should climb to top 3 this Friday at least, which is a good outcome. If they'd done X Factor/video release during release week I imagine it would have been another huge #1 for them. |

A nice big boost on iTunes update, I’m still optimistic for the number 1 this week! Hopefully good converted sales from
YouTube will help |

I don't see the issue with the dance break either. But I don't know if that's coz the comments on here got me expecting much less.
I've seen it for a 2nd time and I loved it just as much. Disappointed with the lip syncing ofc, butttt I don't care too much if there's a performance (plus I'm a Britney stan so it'd be hypocritical of me to judge them on one mimed performance  )I feel like it's so much better than their DNA XF performance and only just behind their other XF performances. I'd probably say it was better than the 'Oops' half of the 'Oops'/'Touch' part too. Edit: nice to see them get big updates on iTunes eventually and back ahead of Rita. I'm also gonna be happy if this hits a peak of #2. The girls don't have a #2 yet, do they? �� |

Hopefully good converted sales from YouTube will help I can't see it being #1 now given the tepid iTunes repsonse, but top 3 would be a pretty good showing given how polarizing the single has been in general. |

Kworb has them at #1 on Youtube for both Friday and Saturday. They had 570k views on Friday and 630k on Saturday. That’s about 300k over Gaga on both days.

I'm not sure if I can see this being a huge album seller like Shout Out was though, even if I mildly prefer it.

I can't see it having that big an effect, Gaga is way ahead on sales and has overtook them on Spotify too. I'm not sure I even want it to be #1 if it's a massive fluke.

QUOTE(Joey Lee Curtis @ Oct 29 2018, 08:02 AM) Where do we see the UK Youtube charts? Well since Woman Like Me is charting, it shows up on their artist page (for every country where they’re in the Top 20). Once you click on it, it shows you the whole Top 20 for that country and how many streams each song got (also the date because it’s usually a couple days behind). Or you can click the Youtube heading and then hit countries right below that. It’ll show you what video is #1 in each country and if you click on that song it takes you to the weekly chart and you can just click “daily” This post has been edited by Court: 29th October 2018, 12:13 PM |

Their definitely the underdog right now but I’m not totally ruling it out yet seeing as they could swap with Gaga on Spotify again tomorrow. We just don’t know. |

I do think it’s going to be close. We all know that sales really don’t count for that much anymore, and the girls were out steaming Gaga for most of the week until today, and that could change again tomorrow. YouTube sales should be really high. It’s nice to see a chart battle tbh
Side note: New peak of 29 on global Spotify |

They're 3 in the mids. They're 3k behind Gaga at #1 so won't catch her. Might overtake Calvin though with any luck, as they're very close behind. It doesn't look like the video streams had a huge effect. Probably because most of them were a 1:600 ratio.
