What's with The Snake as a subtitle? Is he releasing a song this week? Oh my.

Posted by: RobBob 24th August 2017, 11:12 PM

swish swish for #1

Posted by: Envoirment 24th August 2017, 11:16 PM

Ooo yay for "Swish Swish"!! It was climbing very nicely thanks to the video and now 59p. Hopefully it can enter the top 10.

I believe Taylor will be released at 5:01am.

Posted by: BridgeCow 24th August 2017, 11:37 PM

All Stars is 59p! Is it finally gonna smash now

Posted by: UltraReputation 25th August 2017, 03:39 AM

Taylor is coming to SMASH *.*

Posted by: omrimayo 25th August 2017, 03:48 AM

Love the new Taylor!!!!! Love!!!!!

Posted by: Ryan. 25th August 2017, 03:49 AM

Posted by: UltraReputation 25th August 2017, 03:55 AM

This is surely going to be a MASSIVE #1?!! I'm so slayed

Posted by: Envoirment 25th August 2017, 03:56 AM

New Taylor is different from her usual. Not a big fan of the chorus, but the bridge is great and verses alright.

Posted by: MoistSummerFruit 25th August 2017, 04:15 AM

This song is clearly about Katy AGAIN

And it obviously references Arya Stark

Just weird and not commercial.

The bridge is nice enough.

Doubt this will be no.1.

Posted by: MoistSummerFruit 25th August 2017, 04:15 AM

In fact, it might end up getting beaten by Swish Swish to top10!!

Posted by: omrimayo 25th August 2017, 04:16 AM

Number 1 spot on new music Friday for Taylor. Updated.

Posted by: Ryan. 25th August 2017, 04:17 AM

Taylor in at #59!

Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 25th August 2017, 04:55 AM

So it didn't debut at #1 on iTunes

Posted by: Bjork 25th August 2017, 05:26 AM

maybe its a grower but on 1st listen is a kinda weird and very un-Tayloresque song

15. Taylor Swift

Posted by: cqmerqn 25th August 2017, 06:02 AM

I'm so disappointed with this Taylor single. Sounds like a Lorde album track :/

Posted by: bluebitchboy 25th August 2017, 06:04 AM

Gosh that Taylor Swift song is dreadful. Verses decent but such a generic, lazy chrous which has been done before (meghan trainor 'me too'). Trash.

Posted by: omrimayo 25th August 2017, 06:18 AM

She has so many haters and so many lovers that's insane, she's the biggest in that for sure. I'm a lover for sure. 85% lead already on the US!

Posted by: cqmerqn 25th August 2017, 06:23 AM

7. Taylor Swift

Posted by: White Mustang 25th August 2017, 06:26 AM

Are the 'I think you're overestimating Taylor, she will probably do a Bieber's still confident?

Posted by: cqmerqn 25th August 2017, 06:27 AM

I expected her to go straight to #1 within the hour. Still, she'll still go #1 with ease

Posted by: mdh 25th August 2017, 06:32 AM

I have no idea what to expect now lmaoo

Yeah, haven't even heard the song yet but she should clear 80k with ease. Her streaming will be MASSIVE.

Posted by: MoistSummerFruit 25th August 2017, 06:33 AM

Omg, THIS!

TRASH

Posted by: cqmerqn 25th August 2017, 06:33 AM

Imagine a less intense The Louvre

Posted by: Capybréra 25th August 2017, 06:45 AM

If this was aimed at me, I never said she *probably* would, just that I wouldn't be surprised if she didn't do as well as everyone was predicting her to, and that people shouldn't be so confident in songs they hadn't even heard! It does of course look at this stage that she probably will be on for an easy #1, which is actually what I also thought would likely happen ~

(I don't recall anyone else saying anything other than 'it'll be an obvious huge #1' but maybe I'm being forgetful)

Posted by: Bjork 25th August 2017, 06:47 AM

wait, the Taylor song is based on Right Said Fred- I'm too sexy???

Posted by: UltraReputation 25th August 2017, 06:50 AM

Taylor up to fourth! <3

Posted by: Dane 25th August 2017, 06:54 AM

Like the verses & bridge, just not a fan of the chorus...
Agree with the Lorde comparison. Hoping it will grow on me.

Posted by: Capybréra 25th August 2017, 06:57 AM

The chorus lets down the song so much, I really like most of the rest of it (apart from the silly 'cos she's dead' part) but could she really not write a proper chorus for it? Glad this isn't just me thinking that

Wow what a flop in 8am. Pepole in here are weird. How Beiber? He only did it on the next day and he wasn't ever released in 5am. Lol. Anyway smash and she'll number 1 easily!

Posted by: andibob 25th August 2017, 07:34 AM

Of course she will be number one on iTunes.
And people will still think she's a massive eye roll.

Posted by: Bjork 25th August 2017, 07:34 AM

Nobody us saying its a flop
The consensus is that the song is disappointing
But sure it will be @1
No denying that
Just wish it was a better song

So between the hours 5 and 6am you expected Taylor to outsell all other tracks from over the past 24 hours? Come on, be realistic!

Posted by: iain 25th August 2017, 08:09 AM

It's no 1 now.

Posted by: omrimayo 25th August 2017, 08:15 AM

QUEEN. In 9am

Posted by: Tombo 25th August 2017, 08:17 AM

That's exactly why I like it, It leaves behind her boring ass 1989 era sound

Posted by: Yorkie3 25th August 2017, 08:23 AM

Let's face it, Taylor could have released anything as the first single and it would have been a worldwide #1. She knew that so she's probably saving the big commercial song (something like Blank Space?) for the second single.

Anyway, getting to #1 between 5am-9am is insane, most of her fanbase are probably still asleep.

Posted by: White Mustang 25th August 2017, 08:25 AM

Swish Swish 22

Taylor is shaking.

Posted by: iain 25th August 2017, 08:30 AM

Swish Swish has been hanging around iTunes and Spotify since it was released in May. It's hit potential is massive. Hopefully now with the video and radio play it will actually smash.

Posted by: White Mustang 25th August 2017, 08:33 AM

Annoying they took it off the Spotify playlists a month ago.

Posted by: danG 25th August 2017, 08:35 AM

it's probably part of Taylor's deal with Spotify that they can't promote Katy's single at the same time, you'd think it would get a Hot Hits UK re-add but Taylor will do anything to ruin Katy's career.

Posted by: John-James 25th August 2017, 08:36 AM

I think its fair to say Katy is ruining her career on her own

Posted by: vidcapper 25th August 2017, 08:37 AM

I thought it sounded familiar.

However, even if it is based on that song (which I loathed), I this new Taylor song!

Posted by: UltraReputation 25th August 2017, 09:11 AM

Yasss at Taylor being #1 hopefully she gets there officially as well!

I'm just gonna presume this isn't being serious

Posted by: jafetsigfinns 25th August 2017, 09:14 AM

Damn I'm disappointed in that Taylor Swift song. The song builds up well but that chorus is just a massive fart and so damn lazy. Expected more after such a great 1989 era.

Posted by: Lenny 25th August 2017, 09:25 AM

Basically my feelings on it but I'll accept it for what it is and it should grow. It already is. But I doubt it'll go down as one of her classics - ironic that this is what is likely to break her a UK number 1 finally.

Posted by: M4NG0 25th August 2017, 09:29 AM

THIS exactly.

Having heard the song, it will probably be #1 officially but not with the huge numbers some were predicting. As others have said, the verses and and bridge are good but the chorus is a bit of a non-event. The bridge should have built to a great big killer chorus! She needs to take songwriting classes from me tbh

Regarding other new songs:
New Fergie is more 90s than any song I've heard since the 90s
Martin Garrix has gone back to his earlier sound and therefore 'Pizza' is a bit of a banger deserves to be a smash tbh.
New Foo Fighters is brilliant, best thing they've done for ages!
New Script is a bit rubbish really, I'll let the haters have that one

Posted by: T Boy 25th August 2017, 09:35 AM

I have to be honest, this new Taylor Swift song sounded awful on first listen. The only thing I can remember about it is that it's clearly about everyone she's feuding with. I'm surprised she hasn't alienated her fan base with this. I dunno, maybe it's just that I think she's focusing too much on feuding and it comes across childish to me. But there didn't seem to be anything else to the song.

Posted by: Bjork 25th August 2017, 09:46 AM

Actually in a way it's a bit like the song she did with calvin harris for rihanna
This is what you came for
Great start great verses but then no chorus (Na na na la la la instead of a proper chorus)

Hope the next single is better
And she teams up with cowriters that do a better job

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 25th August 2017, 10:05 AM

To be fair, 'Shake It Off' had quite a repetitive and fairly nothing-y chorus but it worked! I think this does similarly.

The second single (Blank Space) had a massive and explosive chorus, so maybe it'll be the same here?

Posted by: White Mustang 25th August 2017, 10:13 AM

50% lead for Taylor!


"You're all over estimating her"

Posted by: BrookeOlivia 25th August 2017, 10:22 AM

50% Lead already? Its only 11am too I can't see this not debuting at #1 officially to be honest.

Posted by: White Mustang 25th August 2017, 10:26 AM

It'll probably make #1 on the first two days of sales alone really.

Posted by: BrookeOlivia 25th August 2017, 10:30 AM

It will be interesting to see if she debuts straight at #1 on spotify tomorrow.

Posted by: Houdini 25th August 2017, 11:41 AM

I just heard the new Taylor Swift song and it's nothing special just like how I expected it to be. It's no surprise to see the public lapping it up!

Posted by: PeaceMob 25th August 2017, 12:49 PM

"Look At What You Made Me Do" is such a great song title, yeah I like the song, reminds me of "Bad Blood" which is my favourite Taylor song (not popular choice I know), it would be nice if she finally gets a UK No 1 single.

Posted by: omrimayo 25th August 2017, 12:54 PM

Not a big jump anymore :| WW she has such a huge gap, the UK hates her lol. But I think with Spotify and the video on Sunday she'll do it.

Posted by: MoistSummerFruit 25th August 2017, 01:30 PM

THIS!!

Sheeple out in force this year. Spotify and the record companies tell people what to like.

It is a 'Me Too' rehash of Bad Blood and a response to Katy. Booring.

This happened with Coldplay too. One of their worst singles, Viva la Vida, was their first no.1. It happens.

Posted by: Euphorique 25th August 2017, 01:31 PM

The new Taylor single just sounds like a Selena reject... not impressed

Posted by: iain 25th August 2017, 01:36 PM

I mean maybe some people just.....like the song and are listening to/buying it on that basis. Also, I'm not sure how picking a random Coldplay song out of the sky helps to prove your point.

Posted by: danG 25th August 2017, 01:43 PM

> "the UK hates her"
> is at #1 on iTunes pushing the #2 down to 0.45

okay then.

Posted by: ElectroBoy 25th August 2017, 01:44 PM

Just listened to the new Taylor song... its awful (well I listened to the first minute and a half and gave up as it was bad)

Posted by: MoistSummerFruit 25th August 2017, 01:55 PM

It is a poor song.

Yeah no, it makes sense. An artist, like Colplay or Taylor, can miss no.1 with ALLLL their best, then break it with a weak hype single. It happens.

Posted by: omrimayo 25th August 2017, 02:47 PM

White update, and yes when in the US she has a new all time record of 94% lead she's nearly making 50% and stopped increasing, same with 90% of the world, so. Yes it's a bit weird but it's just fine, just saying facts.

Posted by: Davidson 25th August 2017, 02:47 PM

Yes at Jorja Smith's new absolute banger being at #36. By far the best track released today, be a surprise hit please.

Posted by: mdh 25th August 2017, 03:09 PM

16 Katy Perry - Swish Swish (feat. Nicki Minaj)

Can see this making top 40 this week tbh! Also Naughty Sesh is back up to #12.

Posted by: Lomadz 25th August 2017, 04:30 PM

you are really embarrassing yourself and have been for weeks.

I love this site but your making me want to not read it. Some pathetic comments.

Anyway, Taylor is doing bet well as expected. Not much else happening this week.

Posted by: MoistSummerFruit 25th August 2017, 04:45 PM

Who are you?

Where is your paper thin rebuttal of the ISDUE, i.e big artists can go for years without a no.1 then got one with an alsoran hit?

I am the BuffyCharmed.

You should feel embarrassed for even daring to speak at me like that.

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 25th August 2017, 05:06 PM

Taylor's lead seems to have peaked very early for now... P!nk making some (pretty negligible) gains in both of the last two updates.

Posted by: Ryan. 25th August 2017, 05:41 PM

It was such a speedy ascent, it would be impossible for her to keep up the pace considering that iTunes is weighted towards recent hours.

Posted by: MoistSummerFruit 25th August 2017, 05:45 PM

Skank, my posts spill pipin hot tea over you and your beige as unseasoned lettuce faves!!

Are you upset your fave released whatever THAT is? Pfft i'm not gonna fall over myself praising THAT when even bloody Swish Swish is better!! I'd say somethin about your sappy, soporific posts praising each hair on Taylor's legs as a Davinci, but you are microscopic and fail to register on my beefoscope.

And Mr Silver Rocket, if you come frying beef be prepared for a barbecue

And yah, no surprise aboot Taylor. Alsoran fans aside, no one is here for this retread of Me Too- one was enough!! It will be a flash no.1.

Posted by: White Mustang 25th August 2017, 06:09 PM

We should be comparing Taylor to Dua anyway, not Pink, who still doesn't really have a shot at #1 with her streaming. Taylor's got a 70% lead on Dua on iTunes. It'll be an easy #1 for Taylor even if she fell off #1 on iTunes by Sunday (which she won't)

Posted by: Capybréra 25th August 2017, 06:19 PM

My point still stands x

I'm not arguing that she's going to miss #1 (especially as she probably is going to be pretty dominant on Spotify, since they have gone all in on the promotion for her). It just seems that she's potentially peaked very early. Will be interesting to see how well her lead holds up over the week.

Posted by: Mack 25th August 2017, 06:28 PM

I wonder if Swift's single has given I'm Too Sexy an boost as Right Said Fred is credited in the song.

Posted by: White Mustang 25th August 2017, 06:31 PM

They have.

Posted by: Tombo 25th August 2017, 07:26 PM

Massive and explosive?

Nothing about that song was massive and explosive, I can't even remember how it goes as it is such a non-event.

The only decent songs from the era were Shake It Off and Bad Blood

Posted by: cqmerqn 25th August 2017, 07:51 PM

Massive and explosive? Right

Posted by: Envoirment 25th August 2017, 07:53 PM

Glad to see "Swish Swish" climbing, hopefully it'll be in the top 10 later tonight or tomorrow with its constant green updates. Can see it becoming a decent sized hit here!

Posted by: Dmdr 25th August 2017, 08:10 PM

I hope Capital re-playlist it and she gets back onto Hot Hits UK on Spotify.

Posted by: White Mustang 25th August 2017, 08:16 PM

It's certainty a moment for Swish. It still could go either way, but everything is pointing to a second wind at the moment. It needs Capital support and A list from R1. I'm sceptical about Hot Hits, but it's stupid not to re-add it really?

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 25th August 2017, 08:19 PM

Like I keep saying though, is that not entirely dictated by the record label buying a spot on that playlist?

Posted by: White Mustang 25th August 2017, 08:24 PM

It's sometimes the label, sometimes by Spotify themselves, but either way we still don't know if the label will splash out or not.

301. Busta Rhymes ft. Tory Lanez & Vybz Kartel - Girlfriends

Didn't think I'd be seeing Busta Rhymes or Vybz Kartel on a new song this high in 2017!

Posted by: MoistSummerFruit 25th August 2017, 09:11 PM

The whole album was chunder, and her singles were unbelievably trite and immature, but they were foot-tappin radio bops tbh. The album was another LEVEL of awful nothingness hoever. This single is bland as flour.

Posted by: Capybréra 25th August 2017, 09:23 PM

I don't really get why Vybz Kartel is even physically able to release new music considering his 'situation'

Posted by: 777666jason 25th August 2017, 09:24 PM

It may not have been massive and explosive but to call it a non event it was everywhere and its such an infectious chorus

Posted by: ML Hammer95 25th August 2017, 09:25 PM

According to his Wiki page, he released over 50 new songs in 2016 alone.

Posted by: mdh 25th August 2017, 09:39 PM

And he recorded a track with Lorde and Major Lazer earlier this year

Posted by: Gail Martin 25th August 2017, 09:48 PM

Who is Kamaliya and why is she even so high, her music is dreadful and that’s saying something considering I like nearly every song. Apparently her sales are artificially inflated according to a couple of reviews??

Taylor in dark red and Pink up to over 50%.

Will she debut at #1?

Posted by: White Mustang 25th August 2017, 10:15 PM

Yeah, for sure. If Justin can manage #2 with 35k, only being #1 on iTunes for 30 mins, Taylor can manage.

Posted by: JosephStyles 25th August 2017, 10:15 PM

Yes, considering her closest rival in official chart terms is still on 0.3

Posted by: Jonjo 25th August 2017, 10:41 PM

Ooft! Didn't realise 'Glorious' was at #35! Hope this can become a similar type of hit to 'Thunder' by Imagine Dragons at least!

Posted by: No Sleeep 25th August 2017, 10:48 PM

He did have a #13 hit in 2014

Posted by: jafetsigfinns 25th August 2017, 10:58 PM

But we're yet to see how she fares on streaming (which "Friends" did and continues to do well on. Pink had a 60% lead in her debut week for a while IIRC and she only debuted at No. 5 thanks to less-than-stellar streaming results.

Not saying she definitely won't take the No. 1 spot but I'm gonna wait and see how the Spotify chart looks tomorrow before I make any bets.

Wonder if this can go top 10 officially this week

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 25th August 2017, 11:31 PM

With her being #1 on the Hot Hits UK playlist (which essentially dictates the Spotify chart), it's fair to assume she's not gonna struggle on streaming.

Taylor is getting massive dark red updates :eyes:

Posted by: BrookeOlivia 26th August 2017, 10:35 AM

She still as over a 60% lead on new rules which is the only song she needs to beat, I am sure her streams will be decent and the music video is coming Sunday. I am sure after weekend it will stable out for her on itunes. Still think she will be #1 officially.

Posted by: cqmerqn 26th August 2017, 10:41 AM

Eek that was an update which she didn't need. Really expected her to be slaying harder

Posted by: BigMixer 26th August 2017, 10:42 AM

New Rules sold 45k in total last week, Taylor will easily suprass that number this week.

Posted by: 777666jason 26th August 2017, 11:08 AM

True she is outselling dua 3 to 1 currently and although pink is creeping up wherever Taylor debuts on Spotify is highly likely to be higher than pink with all her playlist adds its whether she debuts high enough to threaten dua

Although if Taylor didn't get nber 1 pink would be a good substitute
Could we even get a cheeky female top 3

Posted by: Ryan. 26th August 2017, 11:17 AM

Taylor will get some hefty drops as the massive sudden sales she got in the first few hours are downweighted, I'm sure she'll stabilise with whatever she's on this time tomorrow.

Posted by: cqmerqn 26th August 2017, 11:21 AM

She has the VMAs too and the music video which will get a lot of media attention

Posted by: John-James 26th August 2017, 11:24 AM

Taylor's song is probably one that would do better on streaming than sales. The general consensus of those who like it is that its not bad but she's had better. Perhaps those people would listen to it for free on Spotify but wouldn't be willing to spend money on it because they frankly don't like it enough.

Posted by: 777666jason 26th August 2017, 11:32 AM

This there's nothing about it that makes me instantly dislike it like some songs and if released by another artist I probably would have liked it more. But as a fan of Taylor from the beginning (well fearless but also have and enjoy the TS album) she has had plenty of stronger songs that deserve better recognition but I don't dislike LWYMMD

Posted by: MoistSummerFruit 26th August 2017, 02:04 PM

No, that it wouldn't be as big as y'all were making out. I think it will miss no.1 or at the veery lrast struggle, as I have bern saying all week.

Posted by: danG 26th August 2017, 02:20 PM

You're deluding yourself if you think Taylor is going to struggle to make #1 this week. She could sell only 45k and would still go to #1. She's likely to sell that amount on downloads alone, and she has streaming this time too.

Posted by: JosephStyles 26th August 2017, 02:33 PM

This is spot on - it happens to any new release by an established act. The degree of the decline tends to vary though, it wasn't big for P!nk as her appeal is more widespread but Taylor certainly has a fanbase, and those initial buys are being factored out now. Her nearest competition for the official #1, Dua, is still on 0.38. There's no doubt that she'll be #1 imo.

Posted by: Liаm 26th August 2017, 02:46 PM

I'm so fed up of people calling flop for big artists because they don't get to number 1 fast enough, don't get to number 1 or don't have a lead as big as they could have. It happened last week with Bieber, people neglecting to remember it is just a feature, and now because Taylor has had one red update the song is going to flop... As has been said, she's one of those who'll sell TONNES first day but she can't keep that up forever so after that initial boost it is gonna fall a bit. When Dua is still on 0.38 you cannot say it's flopping and won't make be a number 1

'Friends' is a joint single and Justin is credited first, and yes I would call it an underperformance (=/= 'flop') for him so far when it couldn't even make #1 on a low sales week.

Posted by: cqmerqn 26th August 2017, 03:03 PM

Friends flopped. Taylor isn't doing as well as expected (well for me anyway)

Posted by: Liаm 26th August 2017, 03:06 PM

A top 2 hit is not a flop Underperformance yes but I agree with Dan that is not the same thing as a flop. Flop has become such an annoying buzzword online that it gets used for seemingly everything that isn't a number 1 :')

Posted by: BrookeOlivia 26th August 2017, 03:10 PM

I personally think Taylor heading for #1 isn't her "underperforming" She's never had a #1 in the UK, She is bigger in America then she as ever been here. The fact she managed a over 50% lead on itunes and looking at her first #1 is great.

Her album sales probably be good to, Bieber couldn't even manage #1 last week. So wouldn't say Taylor is "underperforming" already give the song a chance it was bound to have big drops today.

Posted by: JosephStyles 26th August 2017, 03:17 PM

Friends is in no way a flop. An underperformance, sure, but it's absolutely not a flop. And Taylor is doing excellently right now, BrookeOlivia makes a great point in that she's always been bigger in the US than here, so of course her lead isn't as massive as it is there, but it's still very substantial as she's selling over double her closest rival for Friday's #1 (Dua, not P!nk).

Posted by: MoistSummerFruit 26th August 2017, 03:21 PM

But SURELY it is an underperformance for the fans, two of whom came for me aggressivley when I poured cold tea on their Taylor dreaming, when they were predicting it for a 150K DEBUT???

Posted by: danG 26th August 2017, 03:24 PM

150k was never going to happen, I predicted between 80-90k and I still think that's what it will do.

Posted by: MoistSummerFruit 26th August 2017, 03:26 PM

I reckon 45-55k

Posted by: John-James 26th August 2017, 03:31 PM

150k was a ludicrous prediction even with streaming, especially considering Shake It Off debuted with 47k in pure sales back in 2014. I don't have a figure of how much digital sales have declined since 2014 but surely anything over 30k in pure sales is great (which she could definitely do).

Posted by: 777666jason 26th August 2017, 03:31 PM

Majority suggested around between 60k-100k

And no they came at you for being ridiculous however most have grown to just ignore you as its like arguing with a brick wall

You would think on here that someone has committed an cardinal sin for saying they don't like a new song from Taylor Swift, Little Mix, Lady GaGa or The Saturdays. Some would be very upset if anyone dared to say that. It has happened in the past....

Posted by: MoistSummerFruit 26th August 2017, 09:31 PM

Absolutely THIS!!!!

Posted by: T Boy 26th August 2017, 09:45 PM

Tbh this hasn't happened with this TS song. I've stated why I dislike it and have had no one criticise my opinion and I haven't seen anyone else's negative opinion criticised.

What I have seen is certain posters calling her a flop and the rest, very rationally, explaining why she isn't flopping.

Posted by: MoistSummerFruit 26th August 2017, 09:47 PM

No, they attacked because I said the song was shet. What did you say aboot it btw? As I probably agree...

Posted by: JosephStyles 26th August 2017, 09:49 PM

This isn't the case at all, people share their opinions all the time and are welcome to it, it's a discussion forum after all. It's more the way in which opinions are expressed.

Besides, I'm not really sure what the point of this post is when, like T Boy has said, many people have said they're not keen on the Taylor song and nobody has come at them. There's a difference between disliking a song and incorrectly calling it a flop.

Posted by: T Boy 26th August 2017, 09:54 PM

I said the song was a bit childish and that She's focusing on her feuds too much. But as I said, no one came for me, probably because I explained myself well and didn't just throw insults around calling everyone sheeple. Because I was diplomatic in my criticism which is something you certainly need to learn how to do.

Posted by: Mack 26th August 2017, 10:05 PM

I'm not keen on the Right Said Fred sample and I'm disappointed by this 'comeback'. Taylor has done much better. 'Shake It Off' and 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together' shits all over her new one.

Posted by: 777666jason 26th August 2017, 10:49 PM

No you say 99 per cent of songs are shet and t boy said you insult anybody who likes something you don't such as sheeple

Posted by: Capybréra 26th August 2017, 10:53 PM

P!nk now up to 0.75, she could be back at #1 on iTunes by the middle of the week unless Taylor stabilises now (her lead has so far been consistently shrinking by a couple of percentage points in every update).

Posted by: Jonjo 26th August 2017, 10:58 PM

Don't forget Taylor's video will be here on Monday!

So I guess she'll keep the lead until next weekend at least, depending on whether it gets people talking or not (I imagine it will?)

Posted by: Capybréra 26th August 2017, 11:00 PM

Oh I didn't realise that was so soon. That should help her indeed.

It doesn't need a proper video tbh, the lyric video is one of the most visually impressive I've ever seen! I wonder why so much effort gets put into lyric videos these days, especially when they just get replaced by a proper video within a few weeks/days

Posted by: cqmerqn 26th August 2017, 11:02 PM

I imagine Pink will be no 1 again tomorrow

Posted by: MoistSummerFruit 26th August 2017, 11:25 PM

I did not say 99%

And do not listen to T Boy about me.

Coming for me for either of those 2 above lies is beyond pathetic. Unbelievable. T Boy said. Are we on thr playground?? Given the maturity level of Taylor's song, you could be forgiven for thinkin we ARE

Posted by: Shaphne 27th August 2017, 01:13 PM

People surely weren't expecting Taylor to maintain such a lead for a long time were they? She was always going to shrink down.

Posted by: MoistSummerFruit 27th August 2017, 01:15 PM

Song's crap but surely Taylor's demographic is on spotify anyway? Won't be a huge no.1 but should do ok on spotify in the end.

Posted by: White Mustang 27th August 2017, 01:15 PM

Yes but there shrinking down and falling off #1 in 2 days which it looks like she may do.

Posted by: Umi 27th August 2017, 01:24 PM

Honestly there shouldn't be as much discussion of the song's chart fortunes as there is, anyway. Given the nature of the song I think this single would always have been expected to start explosively and drop fairly quickly by her label. More commercial singles will come later, likely just before the album given its release date. This is doing exactly as well as it's needed to.

Posted by: iain 27th August 2017, 01:39 PM

The video is coming tonight which may slow the free fall.

Posted by: T Boy 27th August 2017, 01:55 PM

I think her fan base will have sent it to the top but it's not the kind of song that's going to bring in many new fans. Most of us aren't vindictive snakes trying to play the victim so it's difficult for casual music buyers to relate to the track. I expect it'll continue to stream really well though.

Posted by: Shaphne 27th August 2017, 01:58 PM

Speak for yourself

Posted by: MoistSummerFruit 27th August 2017, 01:59 PM

Yup!!

What is thr somg even about anyway - what is it that she did in the fist place - is it releasing a song that kinda hints at Kim Kanye and Katy? Or somethin else? Because releasing a song is hardly doin anything and she did it better before with BB. It is not relatable. Compare it to New Rules by Dua which IS relatablr and is a out real issues for her fans, partic. women.

Posted by: mdh 27th August 2017, 06:44 PM

JB probably won't last more than a month in the top 10 tbh. The charts are brutal at the moment, with nothing being a big seller its so easy to slip down the chart with a decrease in sales.

Posted by: mdh 27th August 2017, 06:44 PM

(also fingers crossed the HHUK update tomorrow gives her a big climb up the list)

Posted by: Capybréra 27th August 2017, 06:58 PM

Her numbers aren't (significantly) increasing, it's just Taylor is still declining rapidly. Her lead over Dua Lipa for example has been pretty much the same for the last 3 days (Dua consistently at just under 60% of P!nk).

Posted by: Envoirment 27th August 2017, 07:04 PM

Just noticed Katy at #12 on iTunes. Hopefully the VMAs will give it a little boost to the top 10 if she does perform it. Although the VMAs doesn't usually have a big effect on UK iTunes. Fingers crossed that airplay will start picking up again too. It's not in the Top 40 airplay rolling chart sadly. Could easily be a big hit if Capital started playing it again. Hoping for Radio 1 A-list this upcoming week.

Posted by: Bjork 27th August 2017, 07:06 PM

Oh so it was, I thought it had been out longer My mistake, she can still salvage this, though I can see her album faring similarly to Foxes (ie. a Silver selling top 10 debut album and a sophomore album which has 3 weeks in the top 100 never to be seen again.)

Posted by: cqmerqn 27th August 2017, 10:02 PM

Ella Eyre should do better than Foxes.

Speaking of Foxes, WHERE IS SHE. One of my favourite artists!

Posted by: ML Hammer95 27th August 2017, 11:00 PM

That Pink song is like one of those try-hard Katy Perry songs - one with an OTT message that is force fed rather than being interpreted by the listener.

Posted by: JosephStyles 27th August 2017, 11:03 PM

I'd say she could've been a hell of a lot more direct actually, and she certainly https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1f8S5u01E0Y in the past! Not remotely try hard imo, just a relevant track with a strong message.

Posted by: The Hit Parade 27th August 2017, 11:03 PM

Yeah, I was just reminded of the existence of Foxes because I was listening to Now 87 in a room which I can't mention without setting off the spam filter.

Posted by: ML Hammer95 27th August 2017, 11:21 PM

Strong message can come across as force feeding though.

Posted by: Liаm 27th August 2017, 11:48 PM

It's reat that she's using her platform to speak up on something, rather than yet more songs about sex or drugs or whatever else She's hardly screaming "f*** Trump" down the song, I think it's subtle enough.

Posted by: Ryan. 28th August 2017, 12:54 AM

It's so good it has to be spammed outside the Taylor forum

Were you expecting a video boost to come in the middle of the night? I'm not saying one is guaranteed but if its gonna come it was always gonna come in the morning when people go to work and sit at their computers and actually watch the video.

Posted by: 777666jason 28th August 2017, 04:16 AM

Fairly certain they being sarcastic because plenty mentioned a video boost

Posted by: omrimayo 28th August 2017, 06:22 AM

9M+ views in 5 hours. She's gonna break the record for sure, Hoping it will translate to boosts also.

Posted by: MoistSummerFruit 28th August 2017, 06:41 AM

Absolutely!

As Trump would say: terrible!

However she is not a great musician, so this is to be expected.

Posted by: T Boy 28th August 2017, 08:21 AM

Actually I think it's managed to capture the feeling of a lot of people towards the world we live in at the moment. It's quite nice actually to have a song with some genuine meaning in the charts; a song focusing on the story it wasn't to tell, rather than just how it sounds (which is amazing anyway).

Posted by: cqmerqn 28th August 2017, 09:20 AM

That Taylor video is incredible.... especially the 'Taylor is dead' scene. I expect the 24hr record to be broken and have a huge boost

Posted by: Jonjo 28th August 2017, 09:28 AM

Hopefully! First time I have heard the song and it's a genuinely good song. The performance was really great too.

Posted by: mdh 28th August 2017, 09:35 AM

It'd be amazing if 1-800-273-8255 could do an XO Tour Llif3 and smash ages after release... it's such a song and the video never fails to make me cry.

Posted by: jafetsigfinns 28th August 2017, 09:52 AM

Ok my mind has been changed about LWYMMD after that EPIC video. The chorus is still a bit weak but it's growing on me ever so slowly.

Posted by: Shaphne 28th August 2017, 09:55 AM

I love how these posts followed eachother.

Posted by: ML Hammer95 28th August 2017, 10:13 AM

That video reinforces my perception that Taylor Swift is only out for Taylor Swift.

Posted by: Dexton 28th August 2017, 10:37 AM

Can we talk about the fact that earlier this year the Top 10 was basically fully male artists yet now there's a complete 50/50 split in the chart? 4 Female, 4 Male, 2 Mixed in the iTunes Top 10 - quite interesting really

Posted by: steveh31 28th August 2017, 10:47 AM

What does it matter if its males or females why do people have this ridiculous obsession with wanting female artists over male artists.

At the end of the day it's the song that matters.

Posted by: omrimayo 28th August 2017, 10:48 AM

7% gain in ITUNES for Taylor! Finally! The best video of the past few years and of course gonna break Hello record easily, not even half a day (10 hours) and more than 16M views.

Posted by: BrookeOlivia 28th August 2017, 10:48 AM

Taylor as pushed Pink back down to 89% from 96%, Guess the music video is taken effect already.

Posted by: danG 28th August 2017, 11:07 AM

Buzzjack as a whole generally prefer female-lead pop songs, plus the fact that we've been getting barely any big female-lead hits recently so naturally people are excited now that a few have come at once.

Yassss at Taylor!!

If it breaks the record too then that will get a lot of media attention.

Posted by: Shaphne 28th August 2017, 11:18 AM

One thing Taylor isn't lacking in is media attention

Posted by: André 28th August 2017, 11:50 AM

Wanting female-led songs which always have a team of producers and collaborators that is 90% male hardly qualify as wanting "gender equality" in the music industry.

Posted by: Dexton 28th August 2017, 11:51 AM

Ok ok ok I was just commenting on a chart trend that hasn't occurred in a few months lets not get into a debate about gender equality in the music industry

Posted by: Umi 28th August 2017, 11:55 AM

It is closer to gender equality than male-led songs created by a team of producers and collaborators that is 90% male.

Posted by: cqmerqn 28th August 2017, 12:00 PM

She will get a lot more...

Posted by: PeaceMob 28th August 2017, 12:48 PM

36. Kamaliya - Aphrodite (Funk Device remix) - Tune tbh Really don't like the original but this remix is much better!

Posted by: The Hissmobile 28th August 2017, 01:48 PM

The Taylor song reminds me of the Fergie/early Black Eyed Peas sort of style (and reminds me a bit of the style of 'My Humps' particularly with the chorus)

I like it though, it is quite catchy.

Posted by: Steve201 28th August 2017, 01:57 PM

He didn't say he didn't want gender equality tho?

Posted by: 777666jason 28th August 2017, 02:19 PM

Still don't think it's her best but the video has made it a whole lot better (what's the record for 24hours does she realistically have a chance to break it )

Posted by: Capybréra 28th August 2017, 02:20 PM

That video drop was such good timing! (Entirely coincidental ofc but she was literally right on the verge of dropping off #1).

Yes

Oh I thought record was closer to 100m

Posted by: The Hissmobile 28th August 2017, 04:32 PM

I really like the Aphrodite Funk Device remix, definitely the best single she has released yet imo! I think it may be good enough to get some downloads from dance fans outside her usual fanbase.

Posted by: Envoirment 28th August 2017, 05:50 PM

First day for female artist is just under 27 million for Adele's "Hello". The overall record is Psy's "Gentlemen" with 38.4 million views in one day I believe.

Edit: Adele is the VEVO record, so Taylor will have that. Psy isn't under VEVO.

Posted by: cqmerqn 28th August 2017, 08:17 PM

Taylor absolutely smashed the record already, up to 31M views with 5 hours to go. Crazy

Posted by: 777666jason 28th August 2017, 08:31 PM

But she still got 7 million to go for overall record ?

Posted by: cqmerqn 28th August 2017, 08:41 PM

She's beaten the VEVO Record. She's got 7m for the overall!

Posted by: omrimayo 28th August 2017, 08:49 PM

She'll come close on the live numbers, a day or two after there are like final numbers from YouTube and I think she'll do it there.

Posted by: M4NG0 28th August 2017, 08:52 PM

I'm probably gonna get shot down in flames on here for saying this but I found the video a bit too pretentious and OTT. *runs for cover*

Posted by: M4NG0 29th August 2017, 09:11 AM

I'm glad I'm not the only one that thinks it then. She's definitely in danger of alienating people if she carries on like this further into the era. She needs to take a leaf out of Miley's book! (The song is kinda growing on me though)

Posted by: Jonjo 29th August 2017, 09:20 AM

The book that's getting Miley minor hits as opposed to huge ones?

Taylor Effect is really big! Another big update, this week number 1 for sure.

Posted by: BrookeOlivia 29th August 2017, 10:18 AM

I don't get the "Taylor is self-absorbed this era" or "Its Ruining her" wasn't she "self-absorbed" with the likes of Shake It Off, Blank Space, Bad Blood which was all about herself and what the media think of her and the beef she had with Katy Perry? Didn't that "self-absorbed" make her what she is today where she can debut at #1 where alot of "big artists" can't? Just don't get it, I don't think Taylor is in any danger of ruining her career anytime soon, I know alot of people may like to hope she is. But she is pretty much bigger than she as ever been right now I would say.

Posted by: M4NG0 29th August 2017, 10:18 AM

Yeah, not the best example to make my point but it was the first example that came to mind

Posted by: M4NG0 29th August 2017, 10:21 AM

I'm not debating that she's a huge star and at the top of her game right now, I'm just saying that if the next few singles continue to be as self-absorbed as LWYMMD then she might be in danger of alienating people. I never said she's going to "ruin her career" so calm down

Posted by: cqmerqn 29th August 2017, 11:36 AM

Haven't you seen? Her husband is fake buying all her songs!

I believe she's some random from Ukraine with a very rich husband who is trying to give her a huge music career.

Posted by: White Mustang 29th August 2017, 11:37 AM

Omg wtf so he's creating like 1000 accounts?

Posted by: cqmerqn 29th August 2017, 11:38 AM

He has probably hired people to do it. She has been 'dominating' Ireland with a #1 and many top 10s recently

Posted by: White Mustang 29th August 2017, 12:33 PM

Has anyone tweeted OOC about her lol?

Posted by: Jay ☆ 29th August 2017, 12:52 PM

I noticed it's airplay has started to pick up a little the last couple days or so too. Hope Capital get back on it now it's top 10. Hopefully the top 10 effect will boost it a little more.

Posted by: White Mustang 29th August 2017, 03:18 PM

Capital played it 20 minutes ago Looks like they just playlisted it

Posted by: Houdini 29th August 2017, 03:19 PM

The only thing I will give Taylor Swift credit for is that she's quite easy on the eye. Apart from that I don't get the hype at all for her but each to their own.

Posted by: gooddelta 29th August 2017, 03:22 PM

Indeed, which is why nothing has probably been done. Presumably the 'street team' or paid helpers are spread across the country, albeit with a high concentration in Scotland as she made the top 20 in the Scottish chart, which is based on sales alone!

The mind boggles as to why anyone would go to this much effort and money. It's obviously not going to help her career, why not buy her a slot on a high profile playlist or even a prime-time TV slot somewhere. Angelle's boyfriend https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2002/jul/20/artsfeatures.features for a few weeks to promote the #43 smash https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8P3VHhmEB0 in 2002 so Kamaliya's husband needs to up his game.

Posted by: cqmerqn 29th August 2017, 04:06 PM

The Kamaliya - Aphrodite (Funk-Device remix) is actually very good imo! Certainly more lively and not as generic as a lot of dance in the chart at the minute (Instruction excepted). Maybe it did get some buyers outside her fanbase and that's why it was as high as #15.

Posted by: Envoirment 30th August 2017, 12:39 AM

I really hope so. Definitely feel like Havana gives Camilo more identity as a pop star, whereas CITC could have been done as well by multiple established artists IMO.

So happy the girls are really delivering in the second half of this year.

Posted by: mdh 30th August 2017, 05:49 PM

Camila got to around #17 with Havana, didn't she?

Posted by: The Hissmobile 30th August 2017, 07:18 PM

You mean the Funk-Device remix that makes it a much better song imo of course! Was actually almost considering making a dance forum thread for this remix given that I like it but it would probably just attract comments about the usual theories to do with Kamaliya singles about why it was doing so well on itunes and not anything about the quality of the song

Pleased this remix is doing the best of any of her singles in the UK considering its much better than her other recent songs imo. Maybe some outside-her-fanbase buys here!

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 30th August 2017, 07:56 PM

Impressive for Demi. I still really wish it was 'Instruction' (as well), but I'm still happy about it. With it top 10 on Spotify now too, should make it officially?

Posted by: MoistSummerFruit 30th August 2017, 09:38 PM

If you like recycled crap, I guess.

Posted by: cqmerqn 30th August 2017, 09:39 PM

P!nk's song is so repetitive

Posted by: T Boy 30th August 2017, 09:41 PM

It's been getting pretty much universals praise from critics, meaningful lyrics that are truly relevant in the world we live in and the VMA performance was amazing.

Posted by: cqmerqn 30th August 2017, 09:46 PM

If you say so.

19. Maroon 5 - What Lovers Do
79. Cardi B - Bodak Yellow

Wonder if Cardi B will smash?

Posted by: 777666jason 30th August 2017, 09:46 PM

I feel like I'm the odd one out because I love all the pink demi little mix and Taylor song (its earwormed liking it more with repeated listens ) can we not like them all

Posted by: UltraReputation 30th August 2017, 09:53 PM

Nope I love all of them as well!

Posted by: MoistSummerFruit 30th August 2017, 09:56 PM

This.

It is utter dross with basic lyrics that sound like they were spat out in 2 minutes in a college improv session about 'the world man'.

At least we have Demi and Katy in top10 to save it!

Posted by: Chez Wombat 30th August 2017, 10:08 PM

Guys let's respect differing opinions please and refrain from personal attacks, this ends here~

(I'm not a huge fan of the Pink song, though fair play to her still being so close to Taylor at this point)

16. Maroon 5 - What Lovers Do (feat. SZA)

Jesus christ, if this gets top 10 before "Swish Swish" has overtaken "Sun Comes Up"/"Rain", I'mma be pissed.

Also,

25. Charli XCX - Boys

Belated smash coming for Charli?

Posted by: Lenny 31st August 2017, 08:53 AM

This! Pmsl!

Posted by: White Mustang 31st August 2017, 08:55 AM

Sorry Not Sorry is the definition of Screech!

Posted by: Lenny 31st August 2017, 08:57 AM

Literally still don't have a clue what 'Screech' is referring to. Beyond irritating to read

Posted by: White Mustang 31st August 2017, 09:00 AM

It's a word Michael uses to describe Pink. 'Screeeeech' etc.

Posted by: Lenny 31st August 2017, 09:06 AM

If anyone was ever the definition of SCREECH surely it was Jessie J?

Posted by: Bjork 31st August 2017, 09:08 AM

thought Jessie J was the definition of screeech

funny how now if you go to kworb, the entire top 50 is in red... very few songs in the top 100 are in green with 2 exceptions in dark green: the 2 Kalimaya songs

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 31st August 2017, 09:42 AM

EXACTLY what I was thinking!

I mean, I love the song and everything but how the HELL is P!nk apparently "screech" and this not?

Mind you, of course I am fully aware logic has never exactly been his strong point...

Posted by: THEO. 31st August 2017, 10:26 AM

22. Charli XCX - Boys
32. Paloma Faith - Crybaby
69. Toddla T - Magnet (feat. Andrea Martin)

Good start for Paloma!

Posted by: White Mustang 31st August 2017, 10:33 AM

That's not a correct update lol...

Posted by: omrimayo 31st August 2017, 10:47 AM

Palome my love!

Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 31st August 2017, 10:48 AM

Many Kamiyala's husband is paying Kworb now

Posted by: Hector 31st August 2017, 11:16 AM

I can easily see Mi Gente Top 5 next week, with the English version out tomorrow. Probably not everyone's cup of tea, with the three Pitbull verses, but I still like it. A lot!

Posted by: Bjork 31st August 2017, 11:31 AM

Noooo is there really gonna be a Pitbull version of Mi Gente :/

Posted by: Hector 31st August 2017, 12:03 PM

Yep. J Balvin & Willy William - Mi Gente (My People) [feat. Pitbull & Mohombi]

Posted by: danG 31st August 2017, 12:10 PM

A Pitbull remix of Mi Gente is something we really don't need.

Can't see it doing all that much though as he's not very relevant in 2017.

Posted by: RobBob 31st August 2017, 12:17 PM

A Pitbull remix of anything is always something we need, I need him to have a revival.

Posted by: liamk97 31st August 2017, 12:19 PM

110. Elton John - Candle in the Wind 1997
391. Elton John, Anne Dudley & Orchestra - Something About the Way You Look Tonight (Edit Version)
500. Elton John - Candle in the Wind

Suspect this will continue to rise throughout the day - it's 20 years to the day since Princess Diana died and I'm sure it's getting news and media attention today.

Posted by: T Boy 31st August 2017, 01:34 PM

Is this iTunes? Because I can't find Paloma on there.

Posted by: liamk97 31st August 2017, 01:38 PM

She's showing up at #19 now for me.

Posted by: T Boy 31st August 2017, 01:46 PM

It's alright now. I was searching Crybaby as two words!

Posted by: gooddelta 31st August 2017, 01:50 PM

I didn't realise the 1997 version of Candle In The Wind was still available to buy! I wonder if it's only just been added to iTunes now to capitalise, it doesn't seem to be on Spotify.

Posted by: TMD_24Quavo 31st August 2017, 01:51 PM

I guess this release of an english version is going to push sales more especially streaming wise although really the Latin version will be the most successful one at the end of the day anyway.

Posted by: Lee_J11 31st August 2017, 02:16 PM

I think I bought it on iTunes a few years ago so I'm pretty sure it's always been there (to an extent anyway)

Posted by: gooddelta 31st August 2017, 02:24 PM

Interesting to know, I wonder if it's not on Spotify because they want the same proportion of proceeds from the consumption of the song to go to the Diana memorial fund/foundation.

Posted by: danG 31st August 2017, 02:36 PM

The Spanish version is doing more than just fine on streaming. I think it's more likely the English version will do fairly well on iTunes but not much on Spotify.

Posted by: JosephStyles 31st August 2017, 02:55 PM

omg I said when I first heard it that Pitbull would sound fab on Mi Gente, actually excited to hear that

Posted by: Mart!n 31st August 2017, 02:56 PM

Do we really need Pitbull on it, now I'm seem to be humming 'Timber'

Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 31st August 2017, 04:26 PM

Ugh I heard this last week on the shuttle bus in the airport and just thought they'd mixed two songs together Let's just hope radio sticks with the original

Posted by: cqmerqn 31st August 2017, 04:31 PM

04. CNCO & Little Mix - Reggaeton Lento
18. Paloma Faith - Crybaby

Posted by: Herbs 31st August 2017, 05:13 PM

Yes Paloma!

Posted by: cqmerqn 31st August 2017, 05:28 PM

16. Paloma Faith - Crybaby

Posted by: mdh 31st August 2017, 05:41 PM

Omg Pitbull and Mohombi It'll be nice to see Mi Gente smash if possible.

Posted by: cqmerqn 31st August 2017, 06:40 PM

Hasn't Mi Gente already smashed?

Posted by: TMD_24Quavo 31st August 2017, 07:08 PM

Yes so I don't know why we need another version...

14. Paloma Faith - Crybaby

Posted by: JosephStyles 31st August 2017, 07:17 PM

It's just a remix like any song would get, I doubt they're gonna send it to radio like with the Despacito, Súbeme La Radio and Reggaetón Lento remixes.

Posted by: Mart!n 31st August 2017, 07:39 PM

Wow, didn't know Paloma had a new track out.

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 31st August 2017, 07:49 PM

Hoping Paloma doesn't just fall away after tomorrow, or something.

Posted by: cqmerqn 31st August 2017, 07:50 PM

I meant because mdh implied that the song hadn't smashed already

Posted by: MoistSummerFruit 31st August 2017, 07:53 PM

WTH

SHENANIGANS

It is a brilliant pop vocal

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if it picked up a Grammy.

Posted by: MoistSummerFruit 31st August 2017, 07:54 PM

Omg new Paloma.

Hope it isn't too art school and dramatic like she sometimes does.

Posted by: omrimayo 31st August 2017, 08:01 PM

I wish it was. It's not. Good song anyway.

Posted by: JosephStyles 31st August 2017, 08:01 PM

Oh I know, I wasn't responding to you

Posted by: mdh 31st August 2017, 08:04 PM

It's a big hit, but by smash I meant like top 5 or higher

Posted by: MoistSummerFruit 31st August 2017, 08:04 PM

She is second screech.

Posted by: Mart!n 31st August 2017, 08:06 PM

Change the record please.

Its not adding any value to the topic.

Thank you.

Posted by: The Hissmobile 31st August 2017, 08:07 PM

To me Bebe Rexha is also part of the Screech collective, I don't like her singing style particularly in In The Name Of Love (with Martin Garrix), too over the top for my tastes and I don't like her tone of singing either.

Posted by: danG 31st August 2017, 08:07 PM

Yet you enjoy 'Sorry Not Sorry' which is Demi trying to sound like Jessie?

I'm just confused at how you enjoy the song so much.

Posted by: MoistSummerFruit 31st August 2017, 08:09 PM

Omg Sorry Not Sorry doesn't sound ANYTHING like Second Sceeech At ALL?

Demi has delivered a summer stormer with strong vocals and excellent ad libs and current beat. Nothing like JJ.

Posted by: Cremey 31st August 2017, 08:16 PM

'Sorry Not Sorry' is unlistenable because of her screechy vocals in the chorus.
I usually like her to some extent, but I honestly don't understand how anyone can stand this new one :')

Meanwhile, 'Fetish' is at 161... :'(

Posted by: jase. 31st August 2017, 09:40 PM

Great to see 'Boys' top 20! Such an earworm.

THIS. It's ATROCIOUS.

Posted by: JosephStyles 31st August 2017, 09:42 PM

I don't find Sorry Not Sorry THAT screechy tbh it's a bop and I'm glad it's coming for top 10 next week!

Posted by: cqmerqn 31st August 2017, 09:43 PM

Sorry Not Sorry is amazing. These people have no taste. Next.

Posted by: Cremey 31st August 2017, 09:46 PM

:')

Hadn't noticed 'Boys' was so high, hope it keeps climbing. The Gemma Collins promo has probably helped it quite a bit over the last few days, haha.

Posted by: jase. 31st August 2017, 09:51 PM

No taste for finding an overly shouty, non-event Demi Lovato song to be utter shite? lol oh

Just checked the GC/Boys video out. Just

Posted by: JosephStyles 31st August 2017, 09:52 PM

Let's keep it cool guys, remember we all have opinions
