97. Cigarette - RAYE, Mabel & Stefflon Don

Ouch!

Posted by: JosephSprayberry 2nd March 2018, 12:28 AM

Doing perfectly well considering it has no airplay yet tbh, it'll pick up considerably in the coming weeks.

Posted by: _jase 2nd March 2018, 12:31 AM

Almost out of the top 100 is "doing perfectly well"?

As always, we'll agree to disagree!

Posted by: JosephSprayberry 2nd March 2018, 12:33 AM

I don't know what you expect from a song with no airplay, no video and no promo It could be on for a top 40 debut officially tomorrow, that's above and beyond what I expected in week one. It'll be just fine in the coming weeks, way too early to say "ouch".

Posted by: _jase 2nd March 2018, 12:35 AM

Well a song featuring three pretty relevant artists right now is currently sitting at #97 on iTunes so I think an "ouch" is more than warranted!

OUCH!!

Posted by: JosephSprayberry 2nd March 2018, 12:40 AM

Artists that are not guaranteed smash hits yet because they're all pretty new and without a fanbase!

I think in this day and age, we should know better than to judge a song's performance after one week when the vast majority of songs climb to their peak nowadays. What's more is that it's almost top 50 on Spotify in that time, which is a much more important metric nowadays. You do you but let's not get carried away.

Posted by: _jase 2nd March 2018, 12:41 AM

"Let's not get carried away"

What? I simply pointed out its position and said "ouch" - which I believe is warranted because I thought it'd be low top 50 at least at the minute. I'm well aware it has every chance to rebound in the coming weeks.

Posted by: JosephSprayberry 2nd March 2018, 01:04 AM

Like you said, I think we'll have to agree to disagree...

67. Meghan Trainor - No Excuses

Intrigued to see where this climbs to tomorrow, New Music Friday has a positive effect even for Thursday releases. A higher debut than NO is unlikely thanks to its shite NMF playlist position on Spotify but hopefully it can climb well here.

Posted by: ML Hammer95 2nd March 2018, 01:07 AM

The more I hear it, the more I'm really liking the new MNEK single. Genuinely sounds fresh and different and given it's prominence on the new music playlists on Spotify maybe it could actually become a hit.

Posted by: _jase 2nd March 2018, 01:07 AM

I think it should be higher, you don't. Yeah, moving on.

---------------

55. Make Me Feel - Janelle Monáe

I've currently had this on repeat the last few days. I really hope R1 get behind this because it sounds huge and deserves to be huge!

Posted by: _jase 2nd March 2018, 01:09 AM

I love it! I really want him to have another hit. Super talented guy.

Please tell me Paloma Faith's "Make Your Own Kind Of Music" is a cover of Mama Cass's 60's classic. It was THE gay anthem until "I Am What I Am" came along 15 years later!

Posted by: Midge 2nd March 2018, 04:31 AM

It’s got to be surely! I can’t wait to hear it!

Posted by: Cody Rippon 2nd March 2018, 05:37 AM

why would you make a flagrant response and then get triggered when someone makes their rebuttal

this is the buzzjack DISCUSSION forum, not the buzzjack "everyone should share my opinion or they're trash" forum

-

that said, does cigarette even have an impact date?

Posted by: Dexton 2nd March 2018, 06:18 AM

I love Raye & Mabel but Cigarette is a bit of a dud for me so far, definitely prefer Check right now

Posted by: Bjork 2nd March 2018, 07:34 AM

I was also a bit disappointed with cigarette's performance on itunes, even if you're not big names and haven't had promo, selling barely 50 copies a day it's a tad disappointment
but yes, we have to put it into perspective, it's 2018 and singles don't peak in week 1 anymore plus raye /mabel/ stefflon are artists that appeal to the new generations so their natural market is spotify not itunes, and there the label is doing a good job having the song added to all playlists and being 50-ish already, that's what matters with artist like raye, her itunes position is irrelevant, it's like post malone, no one cares how he does on itunes, it's not gonna make a difference

Posted by: cqmerqn 2nd March 2018, 07:54 AM

Ouch? It’s performing better than Decline already!!

What do you mean by consistently? They fully supported their last era and I see no reason why they won't continue their support into this era. The new single was last night's hottest record I believe so I'd expect to see it playlisted in the next couple of weeks.

Posted by: Dexton 2nd March 2018, 11:19 AM

That's what I mean. As far as I can remember every single from Blossoms got to the A list so I was wondering if that'll be the case again

Posted by: pes 2nd March 2018, 11:24 AM

Is the 59p batch removed only this week ..or will it be forever?

Posted by: SmileyKylie 2nd March 2018, 11:43 AM

Dancing is still 59p? what do you mean 59p batch removed?

Posted by: pes 2nd March 2018, 11:46 AM

The advertised orange batch you used to find on itunes..songs can still 59p but not be present on that batch..but now there is no batch anymore

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 2nd March 2018, 11:46 AM

Removed from having the advertised visibility of being 59p.

I'm pretty sure this has happened before, so it won't be a permanent thing.

New DJ Khaled with Jay-z & Beyoncé is now out, how do we think that will do?

Well at least the original artist praised Ellie for how good the cover is, so it’s all good!

Supermarket Flowers has already been a top 10 hit and has sold close to 400,000. So i think it has already taken off.

It will still manage a good few more sales.

Posted by: sammy01 4th March 2018, 07:46 PM

You will all be pleased to hear the Olympic silver medalists skated to what was basically an ode to Ed Sheeran on Dancing on ice. Get them extra sales Ed.

Of course it’s already a ‘hit’, but I’m just surprised it isn’t taking off again.

Is it even a single, just because he performed it once?

Posted by: Cqmerqn 4th March 2018, 10:16 PM

Well I just guessed so, seeing as it’s getting airplay.

Posted by: 777666jason 4th March 2018, 10:44 PM

Think it’s just a buzz / promotional single not been official confirmed as a single

Posted by: M4NG0 4th March 2018, 11:18 PM

I don't think it's a single in any sense, it's just an album track he decided to perform at the Brits (for now anyway)

Posted by: darrens94 5th March 2018, 08:17 AM

It isn’t a single but the perfect song to sell the album close to Mother’s Day. I’m sure Happier is the next single.

Posted by: SmileyKylie 5th March 2018, 08:55 AM

Looks like Kylie Dancing about to drop down soon and remixes same. She should get another week top 100 in Official chart then I think it' time to call it a day and focus on the brilliant Stop Me From Falling with Gente De Zona! She gonna be streamed to hell in Latin America! They are 310th in all time Spotify artists being streamed worldwide.

That said..... Friday sees the Anton Powers remix of Dancing hit the iTunes chart which could actually go top 50 on iTunes and I've another little bit of longevity for Kylie

Yes if you were born without ears and wanted a new coaster, but if you have perfectly functioning ears then it would be rather a cruel and spiteful gift.

Posted by: 777666jason 5th March 2018, 06:12 PM

Clearly the general public believes otherwise

It's not that bad an album just overplayed overjoyed and overstreamed but if I came back to it in 5 / 10 years I would probably enjoy it

Posted by: Mart!n 5th March 2018, 06:17 PM

Just buy your mum a Alan Titchmarsh album, problem solved.

From what I can remember it never recovered after dropping - I think it was in the 50's/60's after peaking

Posted by: Evil Houdini 6th March 2018, 04:23 PM

Re Ed Sheeran:

I think "You Need Me, Man I Don't Need You" is his best song. During the time when he wasn't omnipresent as well which made it even better.

Posted by: Jack 6th March 2018, 04:25 PM

I think I liked 'The A Team' and that's about it really. Oops.

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 6th March 2018, 04:30 PM

I didn't mind Ed at all before this era, in fact I quite enjoyed his previous album's singles.

He's just become totally unbearable with Divide.

Posted by: Dexton 6th March 2018, 04:39 PM

Ed has become probabaly the most overplayed artist of this decade (and I doubt he’s stopping anytime soon) but that doesn’t really affect how I perceive him Don’t remains an all time favourite for me of his, I don’t mind his debut material but I feel he came out of his shell more with X and definitely improved a lot.

Posted by: Jack 6th March 2018, 04:42 PM

It'll be interesting when he has his decline / flop era - I don't think it will be anytime soon however. Same with Adele.

Posted by: Midge 6th March 2018, 04:44 PM

I was just thinking that. Wouldn’t be surprised to see it do a Havana/New Rules

Posted by: JosephSprayberry 6th March 2018, 09:56 PM

I could see Meant to Be becoming more of a What About Us sized hit. A sales #1 perhaps, but with streaming lagging a little. Still, I think that'd be pretty phenomenal for Bebe!!

Yeah it’s stalled on Spotify. Only #61 there...

Was wondering how long God's Plan would last at #1 officially in total but it seems it will be just the six weeks then.

Posted by: JosephSprayberry 7th March 2018, 04:53 PM

He'd have been #1 last week on streaming alone, I don't think it's in any doubt

Posted by: The Hissmobile 7th March 2018, 04:59 PM

Yeah just checked the livepopbars UK spotify charts and was surprised to see he's still number one there.

Has ACR kicked in with God's Plan yet, I assume it has?

‘Today’s Hits’ is no longer the chart it seems!

Posted by: ElectroBoy 8th March 2018, 02:39 PM

Is that a rule now? Weren't all of Taylor's song's playlisted even the buzz ones.

Posted by: M4NG0 8th March 2018, 03:00 PM

It's always been a rule as far as I know. The Taylor singles were buzz singles when they were first released but they were all official singles by the time R1 playlisted them.

Posted by: Bjork 8th March 2018, 03:37 PM

Well the label is putting a lot of $$$ on it
If its just a buzz single
Expensive video +
Insta-add midweek to hothits and pretty high

Posted by: Joe. 8th March 2018, 03:51 PM

None of Taylor's singles were "buzz" singles. All four were official singles. 'Gorgeous' was a Europe only single but still a single.

Posted by: ElectroBoy 8th March 2018, 03:56 PM

They were in the end... but I'm sure Ready for It was playlisted when it was just thought to be a buzz single. Then taken off the playlist and later re-added

I may be wrong though.

I just remember the strategy being a mess of not knowing what was what
