Ariana faved these tweets




At last

LISTEN HERE:

Posted by: April 8th January 2015, 10:31 AM

Definitely the best single choice left on the album.

Posted by: Cameron 8th January 2015, 10:37 AM

I am hoping this is real as I cannot deal with that horrible Big Sean collaboration being the next single

Posted by: Nick F1 8th January 2015, 10:39 AM

Brilliant choice
Big Sean collab for 5th single please

Posted by: RebelHaus 8th January 2015, 10:59 AM

BRILLIANT choice. Fully adore the song <3

Posted by: Jonjo 8th January 2015, 12:32 PM

Yep. This needs to be a single, but I doubt it will impact much outside of the US now. Especially with 'Love Me Harder' under performing and not even making top 40

But still, we're getting a video - Youtube video to the song, embedded into the first post.

Posted by: mr_aly 8th January 2015, 01:07 PM

Best news I've heard all week.

ADORE this song. I hope it can somehow outperform 'Love Me Harder'.

Posted by: RebelHaus 8th January 2015, 01:10 PM

Aly happy about a single choice!? you know she's done well picking this then

Posted by: Liаm 8th January 2015, 02:04 PM

This is absolutely incredible, probably the best non-single of 2014 to be honest so I'm thrilled they're pushing it <3 Her best song for sure.

Posted by: Cameron 24th January 2015, 09:21 AM

This has now officially been confirmed

Posted by: Jay ジ 24th January 2015, 09:48 AM

The perfect choice, hope it goes on to be a smash here.

A great shame that 'Love Me Harder' has only peaked at #50 in the UK, but it's having an incredibly consistent run, and as of last weekend it had sold 104,000 to date!

Posted by: Jack 24th January 2015, 10:34 AM

I really need this to be massive for her. So pleased it is a single, probably the best campaign single wise for an album I have seen in a long time. Would honestly class all 4 singles a 10/10

Posted by: HausofKubrick 24th January 2015, 11:03 AM

A rare era in which each single released has been better than the previous for me. One Last Time > Love Me Harder > Break Free > Problem

I adore the top 2 and enjoy the final two.

Posted by: *Tim 24th January 2015, 11:28 AM

Problem > One Last Time> Love Me Harder> Break Free

Posted by: ░░░░ 24th January 2015, 11:36 AM

'love me harder' >>>>>> 'problem' >>> 'one last time' > 'break free'

two can play at this game

Posted by: Jonjo 24th January 2015, 01:40 PM

That's brilliant! I guess it was more of a streaming hit than a sales hit, but I'm glad it's sold so much either way. Annoying that it only peaked at #50 though.

And for me:

'One Last Time' >>>> 'Problem' > 'Love Me Harder' > 'Break Free'

And it pisses me off I have to put BF last Such a good era singles wise!

Posted by: Liаm 24th January 2015, 01:42 PM

One Last Time >>>> Problem >>>> Love Me Harder > Break Free

Problem is still in my top 10 songs of 2014 so it shows how fabulous this song is *.*

Posted by: JosephJamil 24th January 2015, 01:52 PM

Problem >>>>>> Break Free >>> One Last Time >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Love Meh Harder

OLT could rise higher, the first two have the benefits of loads more listens.

Posted by: Calum Hood 24th January 2015, 01:56 PM

Joseph you are awful x

'Love Me Harder' >>>>>>>>> 'Break Free' > 'One Last Time' > 'Problem'

Posted by: JosephJamil 24th January 2015, 02:10 PM

Love Me Harder is a nice album track but never took me as a potential single, on an album full of great choices. It did well in the US of course though so it did well despite that.

Posted by: J▲hq 24th January 2015, 10:36 PM

Love Me Harder > Problem >> Break Free >>> One Last Time

Love Me Harder is sublime. One Last Time is GOOD but that's about it for me, I don't quite get the fuss.

Posted by: mr_aly 24th January 2015, 10:48 PM

I've been waiting for an official confirmation, yay!

Problem > One Last Time > Love Me Harder > Break Free

Really love all 4 though, 'One Last Time' would be a winner in a normal ranking where 'Problem' hadn't set such a high precedent.

Posted by: RobinJuanPersie 24th January 2015, 11:15 PM

Problem > Break Free >>>> Love Me Harder > One Last Time

But I love all of them. Problem was by far my favourite song last year.

Posted by: Jonjo 8th February 2015, 03:52 AM

Lyric Video:



Plus the video is set to premiere in 8 days I think!

Plus she http://www.gossipcop.com/ariane-grande-one-last-time-tonight-show-jimmy-fallon-video/ for the first time a week ago on Jimmy Fallon's post Suberbowl chat show!

Posted by: Atonement 8th February 2015, 10:33 AM

Agreed.

Posted by: Cremey 16th February 2015, 08:34 AM

Such an awful video! Basically just her walking around for four minutes while there is a ridiculous pink sky.

Posted by: billy. 16th February 2015, 08:53 AM

I quite liked it!

Posted by: Josh. 16th February 2015, 08:57 AM

I thought it was fairly interesting and it did have quite a few things going on but I don't quite understand what was happening really. Also, why was that man with a scruffy beard so intent on following them?

Posted by: sorryislayed 16th February 2015, 09:06 AM

Such an amazing song deserved a much better video .

Still hopeful this can smash though.

Posted by: Sean. 16th February 2015, 10:34 AM

Agreed - you could tell they were on a budget almost.

Posted by: Davidson 16th February 2015, 10:38 AM

That video is truly diabolical. Not even an interesting concept.

Doesn't Ariana know it's rude to turn with your back to the camera? Meh.

Posted by: Jonjo 16th February 2015, 12:10 PM

I loved it. I loved the concept and granted it's one that doesn't lend itself TOO well to being a music video/it needed more dialogue, but the general idea behind it was cute and executed very well I thought. I liked the coloured stuff going on as I thought that gave it an Ariana feel to the video and kinda fits a similar theme to 'Break Free' and stuff.

Posted by: *Tim 16th February 2015, 12:29 PM

What a cheap tacky mess. Absolutely horrific, this song deserve so much more

Posted by: HausofKubrick 16th February 2015, 12:35 PM

Really not liking this video at all i'm afraid. For such a beautiful song, i agree it deserved much more. Or actually, it deserved LESS to let the song speak for itself. The fluff with that comet business distracting from the song?

Posted by: Liаm 16th February 2015, 12:48 PM

What a terrible video for an absolutely essential beauty of a song They should have either gone absoltuely all out or had a totally simple video, one of those where she's just standing there. Hopefully this can still be a hit, it's easily her best song and it was my fave album track of 2014 so it'll be a fave single of 2015 for me I imagine

Posted by: Nelly. S 16th February 2015, 12:54 PM

I thought the video was cute! It would've been nice to see her singing aswell (to the camera) but the effects were nice! I love the found-footage concept of it <3

Posted by: *Tim 16th February 2015, 12:57 PM

even a club video would've worked better

Posted by: SLlewellyn 16th February 2015, 01:21 PM

Nowhere near as bad as the video for "Break Free", but I would've much preferred another "Problem" or "Love Me Harder" video. Fingers crossed it'll be a hit in any case.

Posted by: Jay ジ 16th February 2015, 04:29 PM

I think the video is fairly good. It's something very different to the norm, so it was refreshing in that sense. Simple video/club video would have been fine, but more of the same (which probably would have drawn complaints & moans too, let's be honest). I think a seemingly "odd" video like this will be more of a talking point and draw more attention to a song that's being released late into the album era.

Break Free is my favourite video of the four! I love how over the top it is. The Problem/Love Me Harder videos are relatively dull.

Posted by: Cody Slayberry 16th February 2015, 04:37 PM

Looks like the concept for the video of "Never Say Never" by The Fray

Posted by: mr_aly 16th February 2015, 08:36 PM

Oh that is horrible, I'm so disappointed.

An epic song deserved better than this.

Posted by: Noahspike 23rd February 2015, 12:33 AM

This song.

Having not heard the album, I never would have thought anything on it could top 'Love Me Harder' but this is putting up a good fight currently. I just played it four times in a row and sat at my desk in a trance instead of doing my assignment.

Posted by: Liаm 24th February 2015, 11:16 AM

Utterly obsessed with this again like you wouldn't believe What an astounding song, it just might be my fave song since Euphoria!! It just gets better and better, I knew when I first heard it on the album leak it was special but Jesus <3

Posted by: Jonjo 22nd March 2015, 04:14 AM

Her Celine Dion is FANTASTIC!



<3

---

This song is seriously one of my favourite songs ever. It's my favourite song since 'Euphoria' and that's a HUGE thing. It just has IT. Whatever it is I need for a song to click with me, this has it. It's flawless. Everything from the build to her vocals to the tempo of the song to the lyrics to the production... just everything! (Did I say, everything enough?)

Posted by: Robot 30th March 2015, 01:26 PM

I'm really not getting it like you guys It's a good song but for me it's a definite step down from the first three singles, all of which I really love. This feels a bit incomplete, quite tinny production and one of the worst videos I've seen in a long while. It's by no means a bad song, but for all the love you guys have been throwing at it, I expected it to be a little less... basic?

Posted by: barbaric_dan 22nd April 2015, 02:25 AM

Tour question... What is this girls problem with "Baby I"???

Posted by: Euphorique 25th April 2015, 01:36 PM

Now officially my favorite Ariana single, I just love it. Wrong forum though...

Posted by: Jonjo 25th April 2015, 09:08 PM

This has been pushed back to June for the UK, I believe? So maybe radio haven't completely snubbed this after all and a BGT finals performance or something? *.*

Posted by: Jack 26th April 2015, 12:44 AM

I have begun to finally hear it on Capital!

Posted by: Jonjo 26th April 2015, 12:46 AM

Excellent news!

Really hoping it can go top 40 at least a week! She's over here in June for her tour I think, so hopefully she manages to get some promo sorted (preferably 'Britain's Got Talent', but we shall see!

Posted by: Noahspike 26th April 2015, 12:58 AM

Indeed and it'd also be great to see it become her fourth (or fifth including 'Bang Bang') top 10 US hit from the album as it's currently #13 on the Hot 100. I've a feeling that'll be its peak or it'll just fall short though with airplay seemingly peaking now, unless she has a performance or something lined up soon (maybe the Billboard Music Awards in a few weeks?).

I've been playing this song loads over the last few months and it remains spectacular.

Posted by: Jonjo 26th April 2015, 01:14 AM

Agreed! A BBMA performance would be wonderful to see, too!

The song is one of those rare songs that just seems to be better the more I listen to it and I can't just listen to it once, it has to be multiple times in a row. It's fast becoming one of my all time faves. I've not felt this way about a song since 'Euphoria'!

Posted by: Euphorique 26th April 2015, 02:36 AM

I agree, its not in your face, its that subtle charm that creeps in with several plays and then bam, it just hits you hard. Very atmospheric song that complements her voice really well. A hopeless love song full of longing and nostalgia

Definitely one of Guetta's best productions to date.

Posted by: Rush 26th April 2015, 02:57 AM

Guetta was only a writer I believe

Posted by: barbaric_dan 26th April 2015, 01:24 PM

It does improve with every listen but BMB would be the better single

Posted by: Jonjo 5th May 2015, 11:08 PM

Randomly up to #36 on UK iTunes! *.*

Any particular reason? Used in Hollyoaks/Eastenders or something?

Posted by: THEO. 5th May 2015, 11:18 PM

https://instagram.com/p/2UJ5A_jo3X/, apparently.

I'm so sad that the singles bar "Problem" underperformed in the UK. This is one of my favourite albums of the last year or so and the singles have been so excellently chosen. She was really screwed over by the release strategy for "Break Free" though unfortunately which I guess prevented further support for "Love Me Harder" and now "One Last Time". I'd have loved "Break Your Heart Right Back" to be released (my personal favourite on the album) although I'm guessing she will move onto the third album sooner rather than later.

Posted by: Jonjo 5th May 2015, 11:37 PM

Is that really all?! LMAO. Omg. But as long as it's helping this song out, I'm not going to complain!!

BF was/is a big hit despite it's shoddy peak tbh and LMH was huge despite never going top 40 (and received great airplay too iirc!). OLT's release has been pushed back to beginning of June I think so there's still time for it to be a hit (I really believe it will go top 40 at least for a week!) and possible promo too as she'll be on tour over here at that point!

Posted by: THEO. 6th May 2015, 12:27 AM

I'll believe you if and when it happens with regards to "One Last Time". This album really should've been her Red moment.

Posted by: barbaric_dan 6th May 2015, 06:39 AM

Her thing was lack of promo here really

Posted by: Rush 6th May 2015, 07:09 AM

Nah I really think 'Break Free's total mess of a release was the problem. She's had no trouble in Australia ('Love Me Harder' and 'One Last Time' both top 20 hits) where I'm not aware of any difference in promo, even in Sweden she seems to have done better than the UK.

It's a shame, I don't even like 'Love Me Harder' but she's undeniably put out a great set of singles. One of the best pop breakthroughs of the last 5 years, I would say.

Posted by: Joe. 6th May 2015, 10:44 AM

Up to #30 here! Rising so fast...

Posted by: Joe. 6th May 2015, 08:27 PM

Seeing as it's streaming is already half decent and it's already #60 in the midweeks, this could actually make the top 40 on Sunday, as it's up to #21 on iTunes now.

Posted by: Nelly. S 6th May 2015, 08:45 PM

It would be nice to see this top 20 (if it happens)

Posted by: SevenSeed 6th May 2015, 09:00 PM

Glad this is finally doing something! With some Radio 1 support (Capital have already been playing it quite a lot seemingly) and maybe a BGT performance at some point, this should blast into the Top 10 <3

Posted by: ┌ ╫ ┘ 7th May 2015, 12:44 AM

NOT ASKING MUCH

Posted by: Joe. 7th May 2015, 10:54 AM

It's #16 on iTunes now! I can't believe it. It'll certainty out-peak 'Love Me Harder' at this rate. Though it might not out-sell it. 'Love Me Harder' as that had like 100 weeks in the top 75 (though not going top 40)

Posted by: Robot 7th May 2015, 11:03 AM

Wow, this hasn't half got a move on! There must be something else, I can't see that a 2 day old Kendall Jenner video is still having that much of an impact. I must admit, I haven't got the huge hype this has had and it's still my least favourite single of hers, but it does continue to grow with every listen and I'd be delighted for such a feel good pop song to do so well.

Posted by: Hadji 7th May 2015, 11:16 AM

Apparently, it was used in Geordie Shore

Posted by: Jonjo 10th May 2015, 08:30 PM

Top 40 this week and very likely to climb next week!

SMASH IT GURRRRLLLLLLL <3 <3

Posted by: mr_aly 13th May 2015, 04:54 PM

Added to the Radio 1 playlist!

Posted by: Šþinniŋğ Ŧř& 14th May 2015, 08:01 AM

So happy the UK is appreciating this for the smash that it is

Posted by: Jonjo 14th May 2015, 04:33 PM

Didn't know where else to post this...



Amazing

Posted by: Šþinniŋğ Ŧř& 14th May 2015, 04:36 PM

Maybe in a new thread perhaps?

Posted by: Joe. 1st June 2015, 03:10 PM

Brilliant seeing the album go Gold on Friday! All in all a very successful campaign.

Album - 100k

Problem: 612k
Break Free: 335k
Love Me Harder: 176k
One Last Time: 140k

'One Last Time' will almost certainly go silver, and 'Love Me Harder' should do the same before the year ends.

Posted by: barbaric_dan 2nd June 2015, 11:18 PM

She was so good at The O2. Worried the venue might've been too big but she nailed it

Posted by: awardinary 23rd May 2017, 10:24 PM

Would love this to be a hit in the wake of what happened this week. Looks like it's soaring on iTunes.

Posted by: UltraGreenLight 23rd May 2017, 10:28 PM

I have always hated this and found it so overrated until today. It has just completely hit me </3

Stunning song.

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 23rd May 2017, 10:28 PM

It's already a hit surely?

Great to see it back, sad about the circumstances.

Posted by: Вuzzjack 23rd May 2017, 10:32 PM

I liked this song from when it was released. Maybe not as much as Break Free though considering I am a dance music fan but its still a really nice song with a great vocal from Ariana and it definitely takes on more of an emotive maning in the light of last night's sad events.

Posted by: Spinning Adam? 23rd May 2017, 10:41 PM

One of my faves from her so getting this to slay the charts again in light of recent events is most welcome <3

Posted by: awardinary 23rd May 2017, 10:44 PM

#24 in 2015 wouldn't go down as a hit for me, would need to be Top 20 at least I think.

Posted by: Liаm 23rd May 2017, 10:46 PM

It went gold, you can't say it wasn't a hit

Posted by: cqmerqn 23rd May 2017, 10:47 PM

It was obviously a hit....

Posted by: liamk97 23rd May 2017, 11:11 PM

I'm in tears listening to this now. That chorus is so powerful in light of recent events. I just think about the parents who have lost their children.

"All I really care is you wake up in my arms". </3

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 23rd May 2017, 11:18 PM

Look at its sales, look at its chart run.

Posted by: Jade 23rd May 2017, 11:27 PM

This was one of my favourite Ariana songs anyway, but have been listening to it a fair amount today after seeing the following tweet earlier:

https://twitter.com/bocas_moon/status/866983553149677568

</3 suuuuuch a powerful listen now after the Manchester incident. Great to see people rallying behind it (currently top 20 on iTunes!), a fitting and beautiful tribute to the victims and her fans in general.

Posted by: Dexton 24th May 2017, 12:24 AM

Confuses me how Ariana Grande counts as "R&B and Urban" If anything this is one of her more "Pop" songs

Posted by: JosephStyles🐶 24th May 2017, 12:47 AM

Does this really matter right now?

The lyrics of this are so poignant right now (same for Thinking Bout You in fact) so nice to see people buying it as a tribute, would be amazing to see it re-enter the chart.

Posted by: Yeasty Clutch 24th May 2017, 05:21 AM

Agreed. 24 is not a hit.

Posted by: cqmerqn 24th May 2017, 05:33 AM

Can we not argue about chart positions? It clearly WAS a hit when you look at sales.

Posted by: HausofSZA 24th May 2017, 06:34 AM

Her best single for me (only beaten by Thinking Bout You in terms of whole output). A truly special song.

Posted by: Spinning Adam? 24th May 2017, 07:44 AM

I think a similar question came up before and the general sub forum chosen is the one that the artist usually fits into to keep all of the artist's threads in the same sub (apart from when they're featuring I think)

I think Wardy means he just wants it to repeak into the top 20 regardless of its hit status

Posted by: Jack 24th May 2017, 08:02 AM

Her best ever song, really think it'll go down as a really memorable song for her especially in light of recent events. Loving that it is doing well again.

Posted by: vidcapper 24th May 2017, 09:01 AM

~345k to the start of 2016.

Posted by: Liаm 24th May 2017, 10:28 AM

This has always been one of those songs that flew straight into my all time faves, it's easily top 20, it's the perfect song to be a tribute to those we've lost and a message of solidarity for those of us all still grieving and shaken.

Posted by: awardinary 24th May 2017, 10:47 AM

That's exactly what I meant!

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 24th May 2017, 02:14 PM

It's clearly a hit though.

- Lengthy run in the chart
- 345K of sales (up until the start of 2016)
- Incredibly well known, has been performed on X-Factor etc
- Well known enough to have got a THIRD run in the chart now

Posted by: JosephStyles🐶 24th May 2017, 03:06 PM

It actually is over 400k, was certified gold on 10th June 2016. Quite clearly a hit, and its chart run is impressive:

NE (28/02/2015) | 94-85-76-78-70-70-65-67-61-65-63-36-33-34-33-28-24-27-37-37-39-43-51-61-71-81-95-x
RE (26/11/2015) | 49-90-x

Posted by: mdh (ft. Quavo) 24th May 2017, 05:07 PM

Whether it's a hit or not (it IS), that REALLY doesn't matter at this point. It's a beautiful song and deserves all the attention it's getting.

Posted by: cqmerqn 24th May 2017, 05:10 PM

I remember it being up for free on iTunes before release too.

Posted by: John-James 24th May 2017, 05:36 PM

Yes I've still got it from that

Posted by: Jonjo 24th May 2017, 10:16 PM

Number 1 on iTunes. Went from 0.44 to 1.00 on Kworb in about an hour!

Posted by: Iz~ 24th May 2017, 11:47 PM

I've been playing One Last Time all this evening, I always had it as a rather nice song but it really is quite amazing. It leaping up the iTunes charts feels fitting.

Posted by: Liаm 24th May 2017, 11:50 PM

I said in the iTunes thread, but this is really challenging for my absolute all time fave. It was always right up there but the tragic events have really brought out the lyrics and feeling, it's really SUCH a special song with so many layers I knew from first listen it was one of those songs that would really stay with me, and it's just been given new life. It's a shame it's not in better circumstances

Posted by: Jonjo 26th May 2017, 10:22 PM

New peak of #11 this week!

Sold pretty much 30k in 2 days! Fantastic stuff and it's great seeing the public latch on to an amazing cause!

Posted by: Jack 27th May 2017, 01:55 AM

Hopefully it can go top 10 and beat the mindless drivel that's currently in there. <3

Posted by: Yeasty Clutch 27th May 2017, 08:56 AM

Glad it's repeaking after what happened but I still don't like it atal l. Very beige.

Posted by: Jonjo 3rd June 2017, 11:23 AM

Officially a charity single and a "Charity Version" has been released to iTunes!

Posted by: Jonjo 14th October 2017, 09:30 AM

This has spent 50 weeks in the UK charts so far and is now her longest charting single in the UK!

Posted by: cqmerqn 23rd February 2018, 09:21 PM

Certified 2x platinum in the UK!

(1,200,000+ sales)

Posted by: Jonjo 24th February 2018, 09:01 PM

Hadn't realised it was well over a million (even with the new interest in it last year)! That's great

Posted by: HarryEzra 25th February 2018, 12:33 AM

That is great news, I had not realised myself

Posted by: Cody On Ice 25th February 2018, 12:36 AM

I think the newfound interest did help it. I kinda expected that it would reach 1 mil eventually bc the album has been out for so long and that combined with the One Love Manchester stuff helped boost the single's standalone sales.

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 25th February 2018, 11:02 PM

It seems surreal that it's now a 1.2m seller, but keep in mind it had achieved a gold (400k) accreditation already before the Manchester incident. Plus it was actually huge last year with its renewed interest.

Fully deserved though, it's such a behemoth of a track.

Posted by: Jordan Lee 16th July 2019, 11:00 PM

I had no idea it had already sold 400K before the incident happened.

Even without that happening it was a smash! And that was before streams were like huge wasn’t it so a good chunk of that 400K were possibly paid for sales.

Anyways what a song this is.

Never picked up much on this at the time but the music video is a bit unsettling now given how the song is associated.

Posted by: Slade 11th December 2019, 11:11 AM

Well, this seems to have been ignored in End of Decade review lists, but the OCC have revealed the top 100 biggest selling singles and albums of the decade in the UK and this is Ariana's sole entry in that! It appears at #82. A worthy song to hold the title of her biggest UK smash

Posted by: Jade 10th February 2022, 10:18 PM

I guess this includes 'Bang Bang' - an Ariana era even spawning 4 singles now feels like an alien concept gorgeous song anyway

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 11th February 2022, 02:54 PM

Reading through the thread and this one made me laugh.

I'm forever thankful you don't manage artists careers!

Posted by: Jade 13th February 2022, 03:05 AM

Experiencing a climb on iTunes due to a show called 'Starstruck' (premise similar to 'Stars In Their Eyes' - three girls were dressed as Ariana singing this):
