I think Capital supported it like it was their own baby! To its credit it is a good song, but never would have been a hit without Ariana and Global's blanket support for it! Defo a forgotten 'hit' of the 2010's. This actually wasn't the case! It made the top 10 from the solo version alone. The version with Ariana came out 2 months later, which only gave it a minor re-entry: 8-18-36-57-76-88-96-x-54-90. It was very sales-based, back when that was possible; it made #8 from being #5 on sales and #89 on streaming, and ultimately only reached #61 on Spotify.I think the Ariana version was more to push it internationally, which didn't result in much beyond a bit of US airplay, but it has built up a solid 138 million Spotify plays (versions combined; no idea what the split's like), well above anything from The Wanted that's not called 'Glad You Came'. - This thread got me curious to check out 2 of the tracks - the Mary J. Blige 'Real Love' sample in 'Lovin' It' is an interesting choice, particularly because Thalía's 'I Want You', also a piano-led R&B uptempo, is what I always thought 'The Way' sounded a lot like from the moment it came out. 'Better Left Unsaid' probably comes from someone's 2010 rejects drawer (totally fine by me) but the drop/chorus is very unusual for an Ariana song. |

Late but I've just found out that 'Almost Is Never Enough' was playlisted by Heart FM at the time so that might've contributed to its minor success here!
