Up on iTunes now with a release date of August 7th, though under the name 'Got Me Singing'?...

I missed this on R1 this morning as was too busy listening in with Capital for Black Magic! sad.gif

Sigma has confirmed the song will just be called Glitterball. (mildly confusing!)


Thanks for that! biggrin.gif

First few seconds remind me of Foxes! laugh.gif

There's already a thread for this in dance, as it is a dance song.

Posted by: *Tim 21st May 2015, 09:56 AM

They confirmed it was called Glitterball so I assume the iTunes thing is a mistake?

Here's the Soundcloud upload! Such a tune! Loving it! wub.gif

Posted by: Rob Eyrenimo 21st May 2015, 12:03 PM

Well I think this will return Sigma to the top 10 for sure. I'd be surprised otherwise, Ella's voice on this is magic wub.gif it's very majestical and already becoming my favourite of Sigmas! It's also a huge improvement on 'Higher' for me which was a bit meh!

Posted by: Ryan. 21st May 2015, 04:05 PM



Love it so much! Hopefully a #1 but surely a certain top 5 cheer.gif

Posted by: harryflynn0908 21st May 2015, 05:18 PM

Hope this does well I was surprised Higher did awful I did like that song a lot heart.gif

Posted by: Taylor Jago 21st May 2015, 06:40 PM

It's amazing, so much better than Higher (which was pretty good, but not great).

Posted by: mr_aly 21st May 2015, 06:48 PM

1000000 times better than 'Higher' (arguably the most pointless song ever recorded), her voice is perfect for something like this.

It's a definite hit.

Posted by: JSG 21st May 2015, 07:54 PM

This is Miles ahead of Higher which was awful imo but this really reminds me of Ella Eyre's Together ohmy.gif

Posted by: Šţinniŋğ Ŧř& 21st May 2015, 08:15 PM

Oooh looking forward to hearing this tonight dance.gif two great artists!

Posted by: Jack 21st May 2015, 08:57 PM

It is good but it kind of sounds exactly what I expected it to sound like. Ella's vocals are amazing though wub.gif

Posted by: Red. 21st May 2015, 09:51 PM

Heard the tail end of this on Radio 1 this morning so played it in full there. SIGMA really are hit machines. All their singles have been awesome.

Does Ella even say Glitterball once though? tongue.gif Oh and August release date? FFS Why premičre it at the end of May then?

Posted by: JimmyT 22nd May 2015, 07:20 AM

They now have Glitterball Up on iTunes with a 31 July release date.

https://itun.es/gb/DAXC7


(In fact they have the song up twice with 2 different names! ummm)

Posted by: Jay ジ 22nd May 2015, 12:48 PM

This is better than the Labrinth collab imo, but it doesn't come close to Nobody to Love or Changing for me, not yet anyway.

Posted by: Dobbo 22nd May 2015, 08:32 PM

Great to hear the other Ella on a dance track! Knew her vocals would sound amazing on it.

For me, Sigma are solid without producing absolute top notch stuff. My favourite of their's is still the vastly underrated Rudeboy. As for Higher, people only don't like that because of Labrinth, stick any BJ fave singer over that same beat and it would be adored on here.

I agree 100% with this. laugh.gif Rudeboy still did quite well in the chart for what it was tbf.

Posted by: Dobbo 22nd May 2015, 08:41 PM

Yeah absolutely! To even go top 75 was quite remarkable for a track of its nature. I imagine it might have even cracked the top 40 had they released it post Nobody To Love/Changing when they were more known.

Posted by: Red. 22nd May 2015, 09:56 PM

Listening to it again that chorus is so ANTHEMIC!! Can Imagine it being screamed out in Nightclubs or at Gigs when it''s played by the DJ or Ella/Sigma perform it.

Not really, BuzzJack loved Nobody To Love which had a male vocalist but Higher was just shit. Don't jump to conclusions, it's boring.

This new song sounds pretty similar though, but is getting a much better reception - coincidence?

I don't think it sounds that similar, it's production is much better and uplifting. Higher sounded more plodding and rushed.

Posted by: Liаm 24th May 2015, 03:09 PM

Vocalists are a big part of the song for many people. People perhaps just don't like Labirinth's voice or feel it didn't suit the song. It's rather patronising and dismissive to assume that on Buzzjack we'll only like a song if a female sings it.

FINALLY Spinning Adam has given a spin on this track, and, unsurprisingly, he quite likes it! He prefers it to Higher most definitely as that was only rated as "ok" but at the moment prefers Changing (although Nobody To Love is still by far his favourite Sigma track tongue.gif)

Posted by: Jonjo 27th May 2015, 02:33 AM

Just listening to this for the first time (via the live performance - bad move usually) and Ella's voice is really grating on me, just like how it did during her time on X Factor. I hate the gargling tone she has to her voice. It really ruins it for me! sad.gif I'll give the studio version a listen soon, but I'm not impressed by her during the performance. It's a shame because she has such a powerful voice, it's just she warbles far, FAR too much for me to get on board properly!

Sigma's part on the backing track though is great and far better and more uplifting than 'Higher'!

I reckon it was a great vocal but hey it takes all sorts!

Not totally convinced the track will do that well, a bit too repetiive and the hook isn't quite strong enough for me. But having said that 'Got Me Singing' could be used a lot on radio and music TV.....

Posted by: JimmyT 27th May 2015, 05:46 PM

First play on Capital tonight, 10pm. See how it goes and whether they get behind it.....

Posted by: Ryan. 13th June 2015, 11:26 PM

I adore the new artwork! Usually Sigma's artworks are usually taken from the music video, so it looks like we are in for a very summery video. wub.gif


Posted by: geeeaidan 18th June 2015, 10:20 AM

Can't believe the same guys that make these sort of tunes with labryinth, ella bloomin' henderson and the rest.. Used to make really cool drum and bass


Posted by: JimmyT 18th June 2015, 03:47 PM

Went on Spotify a few days ago, over a month before release.. And just entered iTunes at #980 for preorder. Video just shot.

I get the feeling the market is a bit tired of these EDM collabs but we'll see.. They are certainly lining this up well for summer.

Posted by: Ethan 18th June 2015, 05:15 PM

A vast improvement on 'Higher' ~ should return them to the top 5 at least smile.gif

Posted by: Ryan. 26th June 2015, 02:31 PM

Gorgeous video, absolutely perfect for this summer anthem. And it doesn't look cheap either despite the fact Ella obviously wasn't in Ibiza or wherever it was filmed.

Posted by: Red. 26th June 2015, 03:12 PM

Great video. I really hope this goes to #1 as it's brilliant. Any chance of it?

Posted by: Ryan. 26th June 2015, 03:34 PM

It's possible if Capital get on board - I'm not sure they have yet. Their biggest competition that week is Aston Merrygold, there's no certain #1 like Little Mix so if their airplay increases then there's a chance. I personally see it ending up around #5 at this stage!

Posted by: JimmyT 26th June 2015, 04:03 PM

Nice simple Summer video which helps the song. Cant see why radio wont get behind it, a bit of summery fun and singalong-- right up their street (Heart anyhows :0)

Posted by: Dobbo 26th June 2015, 06:02 PM

Shame Ella couldn't be there too but at least she's in it I guess...

A shame it's looking to flop completely. Capital are completely ignoring it (as they've blacklisted Ella, I assume) and the pre-order is not charting on itunes whatsoever.

#239 is pretty good since it's 2 weeks away. I reckon top 10 is easily possible.

Actually, that's very good. I'd say it'd go easy top 10 if not scraping 5 (depending on if it will get a good streaming build up by the release date). If it was aiming for just top 20, it wouldn't be that high on pre-orders until like a week before release.

Ok but why are capital ignoring it. I swear theyve blacklisted Ella just like Leona and Alexandra.

Posted by: Defaze 11th July 2015, 07:57 PM

I've never been a fan of Ella's voice, but she's fantastic on this track. It's so much better than their previous two releases. I doubt it'll match Changing's success unfortunately, but I imagine it'll at least outperform Higher.

Posted by: Robot 13th July 2015, 12:06 PM

I've only just got round to hearing this in full but I'm absolutely loving this, so feel good and summery. Ella's voice lends itself so well to this song and the overall feel of it.

Posted by: MyBvy 14th July 2015, 04:48 AM

Posted by: Danvicii 15th July 2015, 08:56 AM

I was talking about your posts in general. And I think top 20 is a certainty for this song, will probably go top 10 too

Look the guy was banned and is trying to get around the ban.
He never responds to warnings or reason.

Posted by: Joe. 15th July 2015, 09:42 AM

I think it'll certainly go top 10, #12/ #13 at the lowest. Quite a few songs only get to around 160/170 on pre-orders and still manage top 10 placings, and this is at #179 with still over a week to go.

Posted by: Nelly. S 15th July 2015, 09:46 AM

Yeah, if it keeps climbing at the rate it is at the moment, it should peak close to the top 100 before the release (#120ish) which is good enough for a mid to low top 10 placing (depending on how well it does on streaming).

Posted by: MyBvy 15th July 2015, 10:07 AM

Ok im seriously not trying to troll here but can somebody tell me why Capital hasn't played any Ella music since Ghost and Yours... they still play Ghost but they haven't playlisted any of Ella's music after that. Is it really possible that they wont play her future music?

Im not quite sure why they haven't gotten behind this but have all other Sigma singles. It must be because of Ella, no?

Like they ignored MM and are ignoring this completely. Im just confused and trying to have a conversation as to what you guys make of this what I call a "blacklist" of Ella.

Posted by: MyBvy 15th July 2015, 10:22 AM

do capital still have time to playlist it or is that a lost cause at this point in time?

They haven't blacklisted her. Capital 80% of the time only playlist songs that are already top 10, or looking very likely to make the top 10. Post-album singles often get ignored by Capital. They will still probably playlist Glitterball, but it'll be closer to release. There's a good chance they'll either playlist it tonight or next Wednesday just before release.

I have a friend at Capital, he tells me their additions and what part of the playlist they are on. 'Glitterball' is only on the Post-4PM playlist for now, but will get moved up to the A list next week or the week after.

Edit - it says here now - http://hitsdailydouble.com/capital_london

Posted by: Taylor Jago 16th July 2015, 08:44 AM

Glitterball is now at #146 on iTunes, which is higher than Higher ever got on pre-order (Higher's highest pre-order position, according to the pre-order peaks thread, was #174).

Posted by: Joe. 16th July 2015, 10:17 AM

Yeah, it's #135 now. Looking very safe for the top 10. If it can continue to rise at this rate over the next week it could actually manage top 5.

Posted by: MyBvy 16th July 2015, 12:44 PM

Down to 142. Im thinking top 20. Is it even doing good on streams.

Posted by: Danvicii 16th July 2015, 12:49 PM

It's been streamed 663,336 times overall on Spotify, that's the only indicator we have really as it's not top 100 right now

Posted by: MyBvy 16th July 2015, 03:15 PM

Yikes.

Posted by: JimmyT 16th July 2015, 05:22 PM

In terms of Spotify (not just UK!) and the new release 'competition' that week:

1. Glitterball 746k
2. Foxes 0 (not released)
3. Aston Merrygold 100k

So that's looking good. Add in Glitterball moving to Radio 1 playlist B and upgraded on the Capital playlist next week, and its looking positive.

I think if it does that it could actually take off- because it hasnt had much UK airplay yet.
Certainly if we get a summer at any point and it gets played in holiday destinations...its a decent bit of summer pop fluff :0)

Posted by: MyBvy 17th July 2015, 01:51 PM

I would be thrilled if it went top 5 or 10.

Glitterball hits iTunes top 100! 1 day left.

Should chart safe top 10, and peak near iTunes top 5 I guess, with a chance of better, because this hasnt had that much airplay and could take off given the simple summer vibe...

Posted by: mr_aly 23rd July 2015, 11:41 AM

I'm gonna say this could be in with a chance of top 5, the fact it's the biggest new release next week could work in its favour too.

It could perform similarly to John Newman.

I guess at this stage streaming wont be too significant. Glitterball has over a 1m streams on Spotify, but probs less than 50k UK in the last week?
(Foxes has 0 and Aston M 225k probs all UK and probs 30k last week?)

Well who expected this to be challenging for iTunes #1! Nice to be surprised!

And it's funny how old Mirror Man never turns up when there's any positive Ella Henderson news... It does make you wonder...

It made iTunes number 1!

Wow no one expected that.

Posted by: Joe. 25th July 2015, 10:13 AM

Very surprised indeed! It's doing far better than I expected, and will probably pick up a lot of extra airplay this week because of that. I can still see it being as low as #4 or #5 On Sunday as streaming will have an impact and due to the Now effect, it's still only like #3 or maybe #4 on iTunes.

Sunday?
It should make #1 on the Vodafone Big Top 40 which should help a lot...Capital will have to play it a lot more.

his new account has been banned, that's why he's not saying anything tongue.gif

this has definitely outdone my expectations though! can't see it at #1 officially but maybe on the sales chart?

Haha nice one.

No chance of the official number 1, given Little Mix have decent streaming now.
But Glitterball does have a chance of catching on as The Summer song-- a bit of sun would help though :0)

[Still unsure how much radio play its actually getting now, comparemyradio seems a bit messed up for this!- but it seems quit low, so a lot of space to grow there)

The start of the track reminds me of DJ Sammy's version of The Boys Of Summer.

Posted by: Hadji 28th July 2015, 11:33 AM

Capital should be hammering this now it's #1 on the Vodafone big top 40

Posted by: Joe. 28th July 2015, 12:23 PM

They're looking at #3 probably because they're only a few sales behind Years & Years, but there's also a possibility of #4, but I'd say that's the lowest and it's a great outcome.

Posted by: JimmyT 29th July 2015, 09:18 AM

The interesting one is could this have life into next week? Streaming should build pretty well this week and with a weak new release schedule aside from Sam Smith...

1. Anyone know the Spotify chart position of this now?
2. Anyone know the radio play figures, especially Capital?

Questions, questions :0)

Any news on whether the thumbnail for the video has changed? kink.gif

Posted by: Joe. 31st July 2015, 08:39 AM

I actually think 'Glitterball' will have some decent longevity. I can see it easily getting a 2nd week top 10 and then having a decent 7 or 8 weeks in the top 40. Sales prediction; around 300k before leaving the top 100.

It was never Ella's single, it's Sigma's so the performance was always going to be down to Sigma rather than Ella. It was Sigma that flopped with 'Higher', not Labrinth. But it's a win/win for Ella because whether is charts at 12 or 1, either way, she's getting exposure and keeping some buzz between album campaigns so it's a rather smart move for her. And while it won't be making the number 1, it's certainly a hit, so well done everyone.

Agree with pretty much all that Joe!
Also Ella has a lot of Summer festivals and of course her tour coming up, Glitterball will be great for those.

Why can't members just report the posts to a mod, by clicking on the report function on their profile instead of baiting Mirror Man (+ the alias accounts) in the thread topic, let the mods deal with the likes of Mirror Man aliases, don't reply to their comments, its less hassle and the topic won't be so unbearable to read.

Posted by: Danvicii 1st August 2015, 05:38 AM

I've now deleted posts from the latest mirror man comeback, it has really gone too far now, any more comments on him will also be deleted. hopefully his new account will also be banned shortly

On the side of the post right underneath your username at the bottom of the square, there are two buttons, one says up and one says report biggrin.gif

Ella's summer festival gigs start today with Brighton Pride, then Bestival tomorrow.

Glitterball will go down a storm at these... I'd start the gig with Ghost and finish it with Glitterball in fact :0)

'Glitterball' has held up so well! It should get like 3 maybe 4 weeks in the top 10 now that streaming is picking up.

It's been added to the superhits playlist on Capital now, which means they will spam the song with 75 plays a week.

Posted by: NamRorrim 13th August 2015, 07:07 PM

I had my doubts but I am ecstatic it's turned into a genuinely big hit for her and it should outsell the previous 3 singles combined with how well it's holding up and with streaming picking up nicely

I'm so happy for her
