NMSS confirmed as next single and is going to feature Machine Gun Kelly.

Posted by: Defaze 11th February 2017, 10:50 PM

Lord knows what they're filming at this point. After initially hammering 'Power', I think I'd actually prefer NMSS as single 3. However, it's definitely a logical choice given that it's performing best on Spotify/iTunes.

More importantly, it means it'd spare us 'Oops' surely?

Posted by: Matt1989 11th February 2017, 11:32 PM

I've learnt not to even try second guessing LM by this point! For me Power is one of the standouts on Glory Days so I'd be happy if it's a single

Posted by: lewistgreen 12th February 2017, 12:45 AM

I seriously hope this is the case. Oops has nothing on Power at all

Posted by: Tinasha 12th February 2017, 01:23 AM

Oops would have been a massive hit if properly released but it's so boring in comparison to Power.

Posted by: RobBob 12th February 2017, 01:42 AM

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS POWER

Posted by: Juliano 12th February 2017, 01:38 PM

I think it makes a lot of sense and for sure will perform great as single 3, but we shall see.

Posted by: Tinasha 12th February 2017, 01:59 PM

Imagine the Brits performance is Power with the video dropped afterwards?

Posted by: Davidson 12th February 2017, 04:21 PM

I still stand by that 'Power', although one of my favourite album tracks, would make a horrible single choice. The verses just sound too noisy and crazy, it would be so jarring on the radio. I feel like it's a song that appeals to people who are already fans of them but isn't friendly on the ears for the everyday listener.

'No More Sad Songs' is for sure the best single option left.

Posted by: Tinasha 12th February 2017, 04:23 PM

It definitely needs a radio edit to clean it up a little but I think wihna great (like much more expensive than Touch) video it could be a hit.

Posted by: MrLoverboy 12th February 2017, 06:01 PM

I hope not! And I seriously doubt they'd shoot a video for Power and hint at it so easily on snapchat. They never give us any details while shooting a music video

Posted by: Jonjo 12th February 2017, 06:41 PM

They also posted lyrics from 'No More Sad Songs' with an image of Jesy last night too. I think they're just trying to plug the album streams more!

Posted by: liamk97 12th February 2017, 10:13 PM

I'm undecided on how much I like 'Power'. The chorus is great; really anthemic that the girls would really make the best of when performed live but, like Davidson said, there's aspects that are a bit jarring, as well as the hideous "motorbike" lyric. I don't think it would hinder their chances of being successful with it if it was a single though, especially with a radio edit.

I just don't understand the mild reception for 'Oops', nor do I understand why people seem so against it being a single. It's clearly got its fans, judging by its chart performance, and it makes a nice change from the, albeit good, sassy pop bangers. Definitely feels more of a single than 'No More Sad Songs' - now, that is a great song, but it doesn't feel like a single to me, more like fantastic album track. 'Nothing Else Matters', which is slightly similar, sounds much more like a single, although definitely a final single.

Posted by: Tinasha 12th February 2017, 10:20 PM

I love the Motorbike part personally. It's one of my favourite parts, it's the kinda quirky and unique flare that made Girls Aloud stand out. However, outside of those that fully embrace camp pop, it would be heavily sneered upon by causal listeners. I here some people love it and others saying it's too silly. So it could go either way.

Posted by: liamk97 12th February 2017, 10:30 PM

I can see the appeal of it but it just makes me embarrassed. 'Power' is on my work's playlist, along with a few other tracks from the album, and it just makes me cringe every time I hear it. It just randomly appears and I can just picture Jesy's (it is Jesy?) face when she's singing it which makes it even worse (not that there's anything wrong with her face haha, I just mean her singing that particular line). It's on par with Cher Lloyd's "Do I sound like a helicopter? Brrrrrrr!".

Posted by: Cameron 13th February 2017, 06:54 PM

YASSSSSSSSSSSS

Posted by: Tinasha 13th February 2017, 06:55 PM

People online are seeming to think that the video was shot for NMSS now.

Posted by: TMD_24 13th February 2017, 07:02 PM

We still don't know...

Posted by: Cameron 13th February 2017, 07:50 PM

As long as Oops and You Gotta Not stay album tracks I don't mind what they release

Posted by: Cody Slayberry 13th February 2017, 07:59 PM

FRICK I'd go for either song as a single

(Power or NMSS)

Posted by: robbiesglory 13th February 2017, 08:29 PM

Also, @dianawarner on Insta who is the girls stylists for the video tagged Machine Gun Kelly in a recent post so we might be getting a feature.

Posted by: Matt1989 13th February 2017, 09:37 PM

Whether it's Power or No More Sad Songs that's the next single, I don't think either needs a feature tbh

Posted by: Tinasha 13th February 2017, 09:48 PM

He'd work as a feature on Power but NMSS really didn't need a feature.

Posted by: Juliano 14th February 2017, 10:12 AM

I think either having a single edit is a good plan to be honest and I can see MGK suiting either to be honest. It's a good move, I'm behind it.

Posted by: Tinasha 14th February 2017, 10:29 AM

As long as they don't replace Jesy's rap for his. That would be....

Posted by: caseclosed 14th February 2017, 08:05 PM

God I hadn't even considered this a possibility, I'd be so sad... It's one of the bits of the song that asks the most for visuals...

Posted by: Juliano 15th February 2017, 09:40 PM

Probably for the radio edit of Power they want to replace the Motorbike, motorbike, bike, bike, bike, bike whoop! bit.

Posted by: Jonjo 15th February 2017, 10:50 PM

The motorbike lyric cannot go. Seriously. It's part of the songs appeal! A lot of people would quote that and there's a nice novelty to it!

My friend (who is by no means a fan of the girls) told me she liked "the motorbike song"!

Posted by: Cameron 15th February 2017, 11:57 PM

I feel NMSS needs a summer video. So either will do for me tbh

Posted by: Juliano 16th February 2017, 10:16 AM

I agree, I love that part, I find myself randomly motorbiking from time to time, but I just imagine them getting rid of it.

Posted by: Karl. 16th February 2017, 10:43 AM

The Mix Men confirmed that the video they filmed wasn't for Power. I saw it on Twitter.

No More Sad Songs come through!

Posted by: Tinasha 16th February 2017, 11:44 AM

Watch it be for Down & Dirty

Posted by: Jonjo 16th February 2017, 12:08 PM

'Down & Dirty' would be a great single choice. That's one that would benefit from streaming and being added to clubs and playlists and things. So I think it'd be a sensible choice in all honesty. Save NMSS for the Summer and get a Summery video for it!

Posted by: Juliano 16th February 2017, 12:29 PM

Oh wow really? I already assumed it was for Power because it just kind of fits with Nashville, maybe F.U., maybe more scenes for the Oops video, I don't see it suiting No More Sad Songs, but I have everything crossed that it is. I just find it hard imagining a concept. But for some reason I have F.U. in my head, wouldn't MGK suit it so well?

Posted by: Karl. 16th February 2017, 01:46 PM

Whatever it is, I hope they won't release it just yet because I really want them to push Touch while they're on tour. I will not allow it to not be a global smash. Not on my watch!

Posted by: mr_pmt 17th February 2017, 12:19 PM

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO

Posted by: MixedUp 17th February 2017, 12:36 PM

Maybe they're just doing a US version of Touch with Machine Gun Kelly as a feature? I'd honestly prefer that because neither Power nor NMSS needs a feature - although, neither does Touch, but it'll definitely help the song gain traction in the US.

Posted by: Liаm 17th February 2017, 12:42 PM

Touch is the sort of song where a remix would be fine, it'd be quite easy to fit in as well. I'd much prefer that to a Power feature anyway as Power is so bizarre and unique they shouldn't mess with it. Having a feature could boost Touch a bit on radio etc so it's obviously a good idea!

Posted by: BigMixer 17th February 2017, 08:42 PM

NMSS coming to smash!

SOTME - Touch - NMSS

their biggest 1-2-3 punch ever!

Posted by: Cameron 17th February 2017, 09:24 PM

NMSS has hit me SO HARD. Oh my f***ing god.

Posted by: robbiesglory 17th February 2017, 10:21 PM

The girls just confirmed via Twitter that another collab is coming!

Posted by: BigMixer 22nd February 2017, 07:50 PM

omg

Posted by: Filature 22nd February 2017, 07:59 PM

Power pull through

Posted by: shindymindy 22nd February 2017, 08:36 PM

That has to be for Power right??!!

Posted by: Jonjo 22nd February 2017, 08:36 PM

HOLY CRAP!

Posted by: Juliano 22nd February 2017, 11:43 PM

Oh my Goodness, I am gagged! This has to be Power, it can't be anything else.

Posted by: Tinasha 23rd February 2017, 12:20 AM

Feels more like No More Sad Songs than Power to me. They all look sad. I feel like it's part of a narrative.

Posted by: Jonjo 23rd February 2017, 12:44 AM

I feel like it's them looking quite moody/sensual, basically telling the guys that they have control and the power over them! Plus, I think that CowboyWestern theme would suit the motorbike revving etc..!

Posted by: DiamondHeart 23rd February 2017, 01:16 AM

I can't tell which song that visual would suit better, but I'd love either Power or No More Sad Songs - which ever order, I hope that they're both singles.

Posted by: Juliano 23rd February 2017, 01:19 AM

To me it's an obvious good fit for Power, I don't see No More Sad Songs suiting a western theme at all, but then I've been wrong before. I'd be over the moon with either.

(EDIT: Saying that, one whiskey and a No More Sad Songs listen later, I can totally see it fitting either.)

Also weird that the media is all over it being NMSS ("So far, the speculations about which of Little Mix’s songs might be part of their next Glory Days video is “No More Sad Songs.”)

Posted by: Ariels 23rd February 2017, 04:29 PM

It's looking like Power to me.

Imagine if after all of this 'Will it be Power? Will it be NMSS?' discussion, they served us Down & Dirty as a single.

Posted by: Jonjo 23rd February 2017, 04:31 PM

Tbh. Any of those 3 and I'm happy!

'Down & Dirty' seems to get a great response from people who aren't generally fans.

Posted by: MrLoverboy 24th February 2017, 12:35 AM

Looks like F.U or No More Sad Songs to me. No way they'd go with Down & Dirty, it's so bad

Posted by: DiamondHeart 24th February 2017, 02:10 AM

Yeah, Down and Dirty is fine as an album track but a dumb move to release as a single when there's much stronger songs (Power, No More Sad Songs, FU, Your Love)

Posted by: Electro Paradise 24th February 2017, 07:57 AM

Could it not still be Oops? I don't want it to be and the screen shot suggests it wouldn't be, but seems a little odd that Charlie announced it as a single and then they performed it at XF, it did pretty well and then they change their minds?

I hope it's not Oops, but I'll be too excited at the idea of Power or NMSS I'm scared I'm setting myself up for disappointment lol.

Posted by: Tinasha 24th February 2017, 08:34 AM

The imagine could just as easily be Oops. I know people are saying 'omg it's power' but the cowboy bar theme could be part of any narrative to be honest.

Posted by: Electro Paradise 24th February 2017, 10:53 AM

That's what I was thinking too, it definitely doesn't rule out a Oops video. Booo lol

Posted by: Court 24th February 2017, 02:40 PM

I think people are ruling out Oops because Machine Gun Kelly was there on set and not Charlie Puth

Posted by: Juliano 25th February 2017, 12:48 AM

Thank you.

Plus an Oops video has already been shot apparently, so why would they decide to do two, unless they wanted a US version, but I hate when artists do that. Makes little sense to me.

Posted by: dennispennis123 25th February 2017, 12:48 PM

Yeh, they filmed a video for Oops where Charlie Puth gets covered in gunge so that one is already waiting to be released at some point.

Posted by: Tinasha 26th February 2017, 05:31 PM

Ok, so it looks like Machine Gun Kelly/ the new video was actually for a Touch remix!

Posted by: Jonjo 26th February 2017, 07:09 PM

PLEASE LET IT BE THE ARIANA REMIX!!! OMFG!

(But surely SOMETHING would've leaked about it being hers by now?)

Posted by: Jonjo 26th February 2017, 07:42 PM

I think this might turn out to be a very smart move on the labels part. It's probably why it's not burning up the radio in the US at the moment. They're holding back for this remix. Surely it's got to be someone big enough to warrant them doing a completely new video for it?

Posted by: Juliano 27th February 2017, 09:13 PM

But here is the thing, I guess it is quite a smart room (although I secretly dreaded it), however... we don't actually know if it is actually for the remix (here's me still hoping not anyway), either way any new visuals are exciting for me and the concept looks like it could be a billion video views.

Posted by: Jamesy 28th February 2017, 11:06 AM

Showed this my mum and told her it was for a video that we aren't 100% sure of and so she told me to remind her of the tracks on Glory Days and after playing her the clips she went... "Private Show would suit that."

Just speculation of course, but that's all we have at this stage.

Posted by: Tinasha 1st March 2017, 04:06 PM

No more sad songs announced!



Perfect! Machine Gun sounds great in that clip.

Posted by: Jonjo 1st March 2017, 04:15 PM

AHHHHHHH!!!

SLAY US GIRLS!!! YYYYAAASSSSSS

Posted by: Karl. 1st March 2017, 04:17 PM

They have the ugliest team. Christ.

He sounds good though but still.

Posted by: Tinasha 1st March 2017, 04:23 PM

Their UK team is amazing lol. It's gonna yet another smash.

Posted by: Matt1989 1st March 2017, 04:34 PM

A lot of people have wanted NMSS as a single since it came out but I'm already seeing a fair bit of negativity over MGK's feature. IMO hating on something before you've even heard it is ridiculous. The only doubt I have is whether my heart will survive Jade wearing that outfit in the MV

Posted by: BigMixer 1st March 2017, 04:37 PM

YAAAAAAAAAS!!! My favorite song on GD!

MGK sounds good in that preview! Can't wait to see the video!

Posted by: Tinasha 1st March 2017, 05:11 PM

I'm gonna be controversial and say that Jesy's middle 8 isn't a standout part on the song so I'm not THAT mad if it gets replaced.

Posted by: Josh. 1st March 2017, 05:17 PM

I absolutely adore Oops too so a bit gutted that's getting brushed over now but this is such a fantastic choice too (and surely it'll be another big hit for them!). Excited to hear the feature

Posted by: mr_pmt 1st March 2017, 06:00 PM

I really, really don't like this song.

But on the plus side, at least we're being spared 'Oops'!

Posted by: Defaze 1st March 2017, 07:05 PM

Was definitely not expecting this to be revealed so soon -- yasss at NMSS and double yasss at 'Oops' being paid dust. 'Power' for single 4 please for two absolutely perfect eras. A run of BM > LMLY > SLS > 'Hair' > SOTME > 'Touch'> NMSS > 'Power' would be insane.

Lol @ yet another rap feature, but good on them since it almost guarantees another smash.

Posted by: Electro Paradise 1st March 2017, 07:10 PM

NMSS has to be the best follow up to Touch, it really reinforces a more grown up, current sound, really excited for this. I'm definitely here for Power to finish off the era with a bang.

The still of the vid has got me intrigued.

Posted by: Juliano 1st March 2017, 07:34 PM

I am over the moon about this!

Posted by: Liаm 1st March 2017, 07:38 PM

Brilliant choice, and Machine Gun Kelly is a good rapper - going by the little clip his rap doesn't sound intrusive, plus I think that NMSS is a song where it's quite easy to add a rap feature without butchering the song too much. It's always a clever move to add a little something new for a single release when an album has already sold loads, I welcome it really as it pretty much guarantees a smash.

Posted by: OutstandingMixer 1st March 2017, 07:42 PM

It's a good choice of single but I'm getting really annoyed with these 'rent a rapper' features. They're a girl group for f*** sake.

Posted by: Electro Paradise 1st March 2017, 07:44 PM

I'm bored of them too, been too many lately in their singles discography.

Power better be released without any feature.

Posted by: Matt1989 1st March 2017, 08:00 PM

Yeah 3 features in 5 singles does seem like a lot, their songs are good enough on their own so I hope this is the only ft they have on a single this era

Posted by: mdh 1st March 2017, 09:07 PM

What with this being a new version, they'll have New Music Friday and iTunes Hot Songs on their side to set them up for a high chart debut! Where do we think this can reach in its first week?

Posted by: Matt1989 1st March 2017, 09:21 PM

Top 20 at least. Could be Top 10, or at least close to it, if it does get on the big Spotify playlists. One other thing I thought of- these days at the end of the Official Chart Greg James plays a song that was released that day. If he chooses NMSS that could help

Posted by: Jonjo 1st March 2017, 09:23 PM

They're up against Ed Sheeran's album so that'll affect them in a pretty big way!

So I reckon it'll chart in the "no play zone" in next weeks chart, as to where? Just depends on where Ed's tracks come into effect.

Posted by: danG 1st March 2017, 09:31 PM

they play all the new entries in the top 40 now! ^

Posted by: Electro Paradise 1st March 2017, 09:42 PM

Ed Sherean's album comes out though doesn't it? I imagine most of it will make the top 40 in the singles chart too. It might lower their charting position, but as long as they get good sales and longevity it'll be all good.

Posted by: Tinasha 1st March 2017, 10:14 PM

As long as it makes the top 10 in the long run I'm happy.

Posted by: Cameron 1st March 2017, 10:44 PM

PHYSICALLY SHAKING AT THE SOTME>T>NMSS SINGLE RUN

Posted by: Tinasha 1st March 2017, 11:09 PM

One of the best singles runs in recent years

Posted by: Jonjo 1st March 2017, 11:53 PM

'Black Magic' > 'Love Me Like You' > 'Secret Love Song' was a pretty strong effort too!

But I think I'd agree and say this run topples that one!

Posted by: Hadji 1st March 2017, 11:58 PM

"Oops" was a hit waiting to happen so they should have chose that as the third single from GD

Posted by: Defaze 1st March 2017, 11:59 PM

Poor 'Hair', forever underrated. I do agree that this run tops any of their previous though.

Beyond excited for the video. Do we reckon it'll come Friday too? As much as I want to see it, I think I'd prefer if they held off a bit and released it when the song has garnered a bit more airplay. It'd help it get a better peak later down the line (hopefully when the Ed Sheeran album tracks have vacated the top 40).

Posted by: Tinasha 2nd March 2017, 12:03 AM

I think Monday would be perfect for the video!

No shade on their previous chart runs, they chose the correct singles off Get Weird but Black Magic > LMLY > SLS > Hair are all excellent to strong songs, whereas this is 3 11/10 moments one after the other.

Posted by: caseclosed 2nd March 2017, 02:13 AM

Do we think it's ready though? ^^

It wasn't shot long ago...

Posted by: DiamondHeart 2nd March 2017, 07:28 AM

I want to hear it before I judge but I really didn't think No More Sad Songs needed a feature... excited for the video and the release anyway, hope it's another top 10 because it'd be a shambles not to be!

Posted by: mr_pmt 2nd March 2017, 07:49 AM

I just tried to give this another chance... still no.

It's pretty much a rip off of 'I Took A Pill In Ibiza' as well isn't it? I just feel like this is WAY beneath them.

Posted by: Karl. 2nd March 2017, 11:13 AM

It sounds amazing! I'm shook.

Posted by: BrookeOlivia 2nd March 2017, 11:14 AM

Looking forward to hearing it, Probably my fav from the album! I kinda hope they bring the video out Next friday, Give it more of a push in its second week. Video looks like its going be good though not a mess like Touch video.

Posted by: Defaze 2nd March 2017, 11:37 AM

It's out there. Actually a good remix -- MGK works well. I still prefer Jesy's middle 8, but I'd probably place him second to Sean Paul in terms of actual contribution to the track. The cover art is nice too!

Posted by: Jonjo 2nd March 2017, 11:47 AM

https://twitter.com/remonkrk009?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw

I LIKE IT! Obviously prefer the original, but I will take this! I do think it seems more suited to opening the song as opposed to being used as the middle 8 though!

Posted by: Cameron 2nd March 2017, 11:54 AM

YES! This is so good

Thank god the Touch remix is nowhere to be seen on iTunes (yet)

Posted by: BrookeOlivia 2nd March 2017, 12:00 PM

That twitter above that jonjo posted as now posted the full song.

Posted by: Defaze 2nd March 2017, 12:12 PM

Apparently they've re-ordered the Touch remix so that Kid Ink's part is now in place of the middle 8. I've yet to hear it, but many are saying it flows a lot better now.

Posted by: Jonjo 2nd March 2017, 12:20 PM

Actually in love with it. It has been given a new lease of life and it really works!

Posted by: shindymindy 2nd March 2017, 12:22 PM

I actually really like the remix (love the original too)

Posted by: caseclosed 2nd March 2017, 12:31 PM

Love it too!

Posted by: Matt1989 2nd March 2017, 12:43 PM

Love the artwork

Posted by: Davidson 2nd March 2017, 12:47 PM

The remix works so well and I still think this matches 'Touch' as by far the best song on the album, so it is 100% the right choice.

Posted by: Tinasha 2nd March 2017, 01:08 PM

His rap works really well. Fits in a lot better than Kid Ink in Touch, a lot more care has gone into this remix.

I don't get how this is anywhere near as in your face tropical as I Took a Pill in Ibiza. It's still got that Little Mix stamp with a bit of modern production, it only feels really tropical after half way through. It's not as in your face as Touch which so many compare with 'Sorry'.

Posted by: BrookeOlivia 2nd March 2017, 01:27 PM

I really like the remix, Which is good because its my fav on the album so didn't want to hate it

Posted by: shindymindy 2nd March 2017, 01:33 PM

Capital have added it to their playlist already!

Posted by: BrookeOlivia 2nd March 2017, 01:34 PM

Brilliant that capital have added it to their playlist already, R1 next.

Posted by: Liаm 2nd March 2017, 01:49 PM

That's a great start!

I love this single version, as I expected the rap isn't too intrusive and it all just works really well.

Posted by: ★ Jay ★ 2nd March 2017, 01:57 PM

Really loving the new version! Another smash on the way!

Posted by: Juliano 2nd March 2017, 04:47 PM

Love that they updated the instrumental so it sounds more powerful and full!

Posted by: Samantha1989 2nd March 2017, 05:13 PM

This is fab! <3

Posted by: mr_pmt 2nd March 2017, 05:47 PM

To me it bears more than a passing resemblance, but then there are upteen amounts of other songs I could name that have been hits in a similar vein too.

I know it makes sense from a business point of view to get an easy hit for them by doing this, but I kind of feel like they've never so blatantly hopped on a trend-chasing bandwagon like this before.

Posted by: RobBob 2nd March 2017, 05:55 PM

Back in love with this song so much, Machine Gun Kelly fits in smoothly and doesn't disrupt the whole vibe at all and I'm now on board with this as single 3 as long as I get Power as the final single. What a beautiful song in a way that a song like I Took A Pill In Ibiza isn't even close to being (nor is it trying to be, I'm aware )

Posted by: Matt1989 2nd March 2017, 06:46 PM

We can always rely on Capital to support the girls

Posted by: Jack 2nd March 2017, 09:55 PM

I don't see the I Took A Pill In Ibiza comparisons at all

Great single choice, think this will be a big hit for them or at least do similar to Hair.

Posted by: Tinasha 2nd March 2017, 10:00 PM

A beautiful bop. <3333

Posted by: Cameron 2nd March 2017, 10:40 PM

Perrie's note sounds even more incredible after MGK's verse!

Posted by: BrookeOlivia 3rd March 2017, 12:17 AM

Just downloaded it So happy this is a single!

Posted by: Tinasha 3rd March 2017, 12:27 AM

Agree with this. His rap has been so intricately weaved into then song. I actually think I prefer this version.

Why is UK Spotify advertising Touch with Kid Ink as their newest release lol.

Posted by: Ariels 3rd March 2017, 06:20 AM

This is going to become such a gigantic hit isn't it?

Posted by: DiamondHeart 3rd March 2017, 07:18 AM

I actually don't think it's that bad, I like that the production has been retouched for the release. I could do without the ad-libs from MGK in the intro but his verse works fine, any idea when the video will drop? I don't want a Touch 2.0 scenario.

Quite surprised R1 didn't insta-playlist this.

Posted by: SeanGrey 3rd March 2017, 10:29 AM

Again showing that I am much more a fan of the subsequent singles after the lead. This is such a stomper

Posted by: Josh. 3rd March 2017, 10:39 AM

They have such a killer singles run going on now, everything since Black Magic has pretty much been a 10/10 track Just listening to the new version of this reminded me of how much I love it, it flows so brilliantly as a track and sounds incredibly polished (whereas Power just sounds messy in my opinion, always been one of my least favourite tracks on the album). The feature works really well too and doesn't disrupt the song at all, future top 10 hit pleeeease

Posted by: MrLoverboy 3rd March 2017, 02:37 PM

Disappointing. Especially if they add it to B next week

Posted by: Liаm 3rd March 2017, 05:25 PM

I think I prefer it with the rap too, it's a great rap and it fits in so well, Jesy's middle 8 wasn't THAT essential to the song imo so I'm not TOO annoyed that they've sacrificed it for Machine Gun Kelly.

Posted by: Tinasha 3rd March 2017, 06:33 PM

Yeah, totally agree. It's no way near as essential as the middle 8 in Touch.

This did so well on iTunes today but was blocked by the top 10 by all those Ed Sheeran songs. As long as it goes top 10 in the long run...

Posted by: mdh 3rd March 2017, 06:40 PM

This is very very good. I love it for now but assume I'll go off it in the long run, but as I was with Touch at first, I'm so obsessed with this - Little Mix's tracks always tend to be very instant and easy to like at first but have bad replay value.

But yeah, MGK's rap in this is superb, it'd be awesome if it was MGK ft Little Mix with him getting a few verses like that

Posted by: Jonjo 3rd March 2017, 08:24 PM

Currently at #101 in the US!

Higher than the 'Touch' remix!

SO pleased to see the US mixers taking to this!

Posted by: Matt1989 3rd March 2017, 08:29 PM

So I first heard this at 1am (not great when I had to be up at 5am!) and instantly loved it. I actually think I prefer it to the original and I can see this being another massive hit

Posted by: shindymindy 3rd March 2017, 11:58 PM

There's something about the remix that I really like.
I liked the original a lot but the remix just goes off big time. Love it!

Posted by: mr_pmt 4th March 2017, 12:00 AM

I've been giving this repeated plays today to try and force it to grow as I figured in theory it's something I should like, and I think I am coming around to enjoying it now!

My opinion that they're better than something like this won't change though, but at least I've overcome a hurdle.

Posted by: Serg 5th March 2017, 01:28 PM

Bop of the year

Posted by: shindymindy 5th March 2017, 01:43 PM

Hopefully the video comes out soon to boost it back up the charts.

Posted by: Davidson 5th March 2017, 03:15 PM

Am I the only one who thinks they've moved on from Touch a tad too quickly? I feel like waiting another 3-4 weeks would have been good as 'Touch' is still doing well and I feel like since they are focusing on 'Touch' now in the US, it would be good to not make it confusing and give the 'Touch' remix time to get on a few playlists there.

Their album is selling well enough that they defo don't need to rush this era. They should be prolonging it.

Posted by: Tinasha 5th March 2017, 03:52 PM

They certainly should have waited a week longer because Ed's album release has totally overshadowed this, but all in all I think Touch, whilst still doing very well impacted before Christmas. We're in March now so I think it's a perfectly good time to launch a new single.

Posted by: Matt1989 5th March 2017, 05:57 PM

Touch definitely impacted after their X Factor performance so timing wise it's probably about right, although knowing when Ed was releasing his album I would've put this back a week

Posted by: 1hit1der 5th March 2017, 11:45 PM

Yeah, I was kinda hoping they would wait for the US to sort of "catch up" first especially with the new Kid Ink remix before releasing a new international single. Feels a bit messy having the two remixes released so close together (although good for us fans! )

Posted by: CountOmar 6th March 2017, 05:14 AM

Not this probably being their second best single! Seriously addicted!

Posted by: CountOmar 6th March 2017, 05:15 AM

Better than Touch by a country mile! They also need to remove Touch being their latest single release on Spotify!

Posted by: Tinasha 6th March 2017, 12:09 PM

I really hope the Ed domination doesn't last too long, I'll be disappointed if this of all singles misses the top 10.

Posted by: MrLoverboy 6th March 2017, 01:42 PM

Hot Hits UK needs to drop Oops from their playlist and add this asap!

Posted by: Tinasha 6th March 2017, 01:45 PM

Done! Your impact *_*

Posted by: MrLoverboy 6th March 2017, 02:10 PM

SCREAMING.

Posted by: Matt1989 6th March 2017, 06:54 PM

Great to see it's been added to Hot Hits, should improve it's totally unacceptable chart position

Posted by: Electro Paradise 6th March 2017, 08:16 PM

Wow your powers. Now can you say something along the lines of Ed dropping and this miraculously storming in at number one.

Posted by: Defaze 7th March 2017, 02:02 PM

What's going on with Capital? They've added this to their playlist, but I've yet to hear it played. I'm sure they got on board with 'Touch' right away.

Posted by: Tinasha 7th March 2017, 02:05 PM

It's been only added to night time. Annoyingly. The song's success seems a bit stunted at the moment, I'm sure it'll pick up but nothing's really going to happen until Radio 1 and Capital get on board and we have a video.

Hot Hits has helped with it on Spotify though - it's up 65 places today.

Posted by: Defaze 7th March 2017, 02:15 PM

How odd, I would've thought they were big enough to receive high rotation off the bat. Yeah, I'm still pretty certain it'll be a hit -- if Twitter is any indication, then the GP response seems to be similar to 'Touch' so far.

Posted by: Tinasha 7th March 2017, 02:19 PM

It'll be a hit for sure, Radio 1 will A list it and Capital will S list it, but what I'm worried about is it becoming a long running top 20 hit when I really want this to get the top 10 accolade it deserves.

Posted by: liamk97 7th March 2017, 03:57 PM

Capital are useless when it comes to playing new songs on their playlist. If it isn't smashing left, right and centre on iTunes, they don't care. Obviously, we know that 'No More Sad Songs' is doing well, with or without the Ed Sheeran domination, but Capital have always been funny with what they consider being a success. I imagine they're still happy playing 'Touch'.

By the way, I am fully behind 'No More Sad Songs' being a single now. I don't know why I had my doubts about it - I always really liked the song but it just didn't sound like a single, yet now I don't understand how I felt that way. It's not just down to the Machine Gun Kelly feature either (and I'm the same with everyone else in regards to finding he slots into the song surprisingly well).

Posted by: Tinasha 7th March 2017, 04:12 PM

Little Mix are one of the few artists that don't need to do well to get airplay usually. Hair, Secret Love Song and Touch got daytime playlisting off the bat. Touch and Secret Love Song weren't even top 100 on the first week they were getting airplay from Capital.

Posted by: Jonjo 7th March 2017, 05:33 PM

Yeah. I'm not even worried about this yet. Mainly coz it's just incredibly poor timing and if the radios were to judge based on this weeks charts, we'd literally have nothing but Ed Sheeran playlisted..

Posted by: Davidson 7th March 2017, 08:07 PM

This is going to miss the top 40 for sure this week.

I'm thinking it will end up #45-ish in the end.

Posted by: pippa 7th March 2017, 09:07 PM

Number 37 which is good for the midweeks considering the complete domination of Ed Sheeran.

Posted by: Tinasha 7th March 2017, 09:16 PM

I don't think many were expecting top 40 this week?

Posted by: MrLoverboy 8th March 2017, 12:38 AM

They really should have waited one more week to release this, I don't get the need in rushing this when everyone knew Ed was releasing this week, ugh! But yeah I'm sure it will do fine eventually. They are teasing the video A LOT on twitter, so that's not something we have to worry about at least lol

Posted by: Tinasha 8th March 2017, 09:13 AM

Up to 91 on Spotify, but sadly hasn't been moved up to daytime on Capital. It's going to really freefall this weekend then.

Posted by: MrLoverboy 8th March 2017, 11:20 AM

What do yall think it's better: release the video to create immediate buzz or release it when it's getting decent airplay for maximum impact?

Posted by: Tinasha 8th March 2017, 11:27 AM

I think release it ASAP tbh. I worry that Capital are going to be a bit slow with it until it gets a big boost from somewhere.

Posted by: Electro Paradise 8th March 2017, 06:38 PM

To me it feels like it's been released a little too close to the release of the Touch MV. I think 31st March might have been a bit better timing, enough time for Touch and SOTME to be forgotten a little bit more and for Ed to hopefully have freed up some more room on the charts. Every time I listen to the radio they're banging on about one of his album tracks when normally they would mention Little Mix more. I guess bad timing, but I'm sure it'll do really well in the long run. I doubt most of the general public will know that this is out.

For the reason that most of the music media are still buzzing about Ed I hope they don't release the video this week as again I don't think it'll get the attention it would otherwise. Hopefully Friday 17th Ed doesn't release any vids or do anything else and they'll get a bit more buzz around the vid. The pics make it look really good so I'd hate for it to fly under the radar.

Posted by: Tinasha 9th March 2017, 10:35 AM

Actually, it's definitely making the top 40. It's #39 today, it's 1,400 sales ahead of 40

Posted by: shindymindy 9th March 2017, 11:17 AM

Better than anyone expected this week actually

Posted by: MrLoverboy 9th March 2017, 11:37 AM

Still #91 on Spotify. A bit "eh" but it's soon. Really hope it stays top 40 till tomorrow.

Posted by: Tinasha 9th March 2017, 11:41 AM

I hope radio 1 playlist it tomorrow, even though C list does like nothing.

Posted by: pippa 9th March 2017, 04:24 PM

I would be happy with the outcome if it can get a place in the top 40 this week and i believe it now will.

Posted by: liamk97 9th March 2017, 04:44 PM

I'm not completely sold that this will remain Top 40. I know there's a bit of a gap but there can sometimes be a surprise difference between the Thursday update and Friday's chart. It will definitely get there eventually but obvious a Top 40 start would be great.

Posted by: Matt1989 9th March 2017, 06:15 PM

Top 40 would be a good start in the circumstances

Posted by: MrLoverboy 10th March 2017, 01:19 AM

Hopefully it starts to pick up soon.
This needs to smash

Posted by: MrLoverboy 10th March 2017, 12:18 PM

I'm surprised about Capital. They're usually very supportive right away...

Posted by: Tinasha 10th March 2017, 12:21 PM

Yeah, we might have to wait for a video iTunes surge for Capital to take notice I guess. It's odd indeed.

Posted by: Matt1989 10th March 2017, 01:00 PM

Capital are usually one of LM's biggest supporters so it's unusual to see them not supporting NMSS as of yet

Posted by: Tinasha 10th March 2017, 01:02 PM

I wouldn't be surprised if they've said they can't make the Summertime Ball this year. Capital are SO petty about this kind of thing. They'll play it when it's a hit though, eventually.

Posted by: Tinasha 10th March 2017, 04:03 PM

Charts at #39 this week

Posted by: Jonjo 10th March 2017, 04:16 PM

Excellent! Considering we thought it wasn't gonna end up top 40 at the beginning of the week! Just really hope airplay is kind to them. I'm sure they know what they're doing though!

Posted by: pippa 10th March 2017, 06:14 PM

Wonderful result, would have been safely top 30 without Ed Sheeran slayage.

Posted by: Matt1989 10th March 2017, 06:52 PM

Assuming it's on the same weekend as last year they should be able to. Last year STB was 11 June (very happy birthday to me!) so this year would be the 10th. The last European show of the Glory Days Tour is in Paris on June 8

Posted by: BigMixer 11th March 2017, 01:28 PM

Summertime Ball performances are always the best cuz of the enormous crowd. Also they get a lot of views on Youtube so it'd be a shame if they don't appear this year.

Posted by: Tinasha 11th March 2017, 01:49 PM

This is really bleeding on iTunes - down to 60. it goes to show that they really do need airplay to have a hit.

Posted by: Defaze 11th March 2017, 03:55 PM

Shame, I really hope it doesn't underperform. It certainly doesn't deserve to be the track that breaks their hit streak. I still think it'll take off once the video's released.

The Capital situation is still baffling to me. You'd think an act of their standing would be able to secure airplay right off the bat.

Posted by: Tinasha 11th March 2017, 03:59 PM

I really am not worried in the long run, but this is their slowest single to take off since before Black Magic, so it's frustrating waiting.

Posted by: MrLoverboy 12th March 2017, 03:27 AM

This is one of their worst timed singles though. Releasing it on the same week as Ed was a terrible choice. And now Drake next saturday... Had I know this was when they'd be releasing, I would have been happy with Oops.

Posted by: DiamondHeart 12th March 2017, 03:13 PM

They should have waited till the beginning of April (when the Ed hype had died down a bit) to release this and focused on US ventures/promo until then.

Posted by: Electro Paradise 12th March 2017, 07:04 PM

I do agree with this but I think it'll be play in the long run. It's a bit odd that they released this when there wasn't really any demand for a new single from them just yet and Ed is so dominant anything else would just be eclipsed.

Posted by: OutstandingMixer 13th March 2017, 07:08 PM

I think you might be right, Liam. I think 'Oops' would have been a much bigger hit than 'No More Sad Songs', and in hindsight, would have been a more sensible choice as the third single. I also agree that NMSS feels more like a great album track rather than a strong single choice. I always had doubts about NMSS as a single as it was performing dreadfully on Spotify compared to 'Power' (even 'Down & Dirty' was doing better on there). Having said all that, NMSS could still be a decent sized hit if it's promoted properly and when airplay eventually kicks in.





Has a video for 'Oops' actually been shot or was it just speculation?

Posted by: Matt1989 13th March 2017, 07:46 PM

63 on the midweek Update

Posted by: Tinasha 14th March 2017, 08:15 AM

I think just because it's off to a slower start it doesn't make a difference. NMSS is easily one of the most likely hits on the album. When Hair was released, it was experiencing a very similar fall, but luckily they released the video the same week as the release, which spurred on airplay and made it quite an immediate hit. Neither Oops or Power would have been any faster without performances or a video.

Posted by: CountOmar 14th March 2017, 10:17 AM

NMSS is one of the best songs on the album, much better than Oops although they shouldn't have just released this as a single quickly after atouch!

Posted by: Tinasha 14th March 2017, 10:19 AM

That's it really. Touch is still #6 on UK airplay, the release was swallowed up in Sheeran's release week. People don't know about the song yet.

Posted by: CountOmar 14th March 2017, 10:40 AM

Yup!

I just wish oops was released as a single even when touch was blowing up especially if a video has been shot!

Posted by: Tinasha 14th March 2017, 10:41 AM

I'm not sure if the Oops video has been shot. One poster on Buzzjack said they saw it in the paper months, but couldn't provide a source and nobody else saw it, but it spread a bit on the internet because of that post.

Posted by: Matt1989 14th March 2017, 01:08 PM

I've now heard this 3 times in 2 days on Kiss

Posted by: Tinasha 14th March 2017, 02:35 PM

This gets a rare boost on iTunes every time it's played on R1, which goes to show that when it's on proper rotation it'll do great. It's up 10 places since yesterday on iTunes

Posted by: Defaze 14th March 2017, 03:12 PM

Good to hear! I hope the video release isn't too far off so that Capital actually start giving it a few spins. Their video boosts are always pretty substantial.

Posted by: Tinasha 14th March 2017, 07:01 PM

apparently this is on capital's daytime playlist from tomorrow. Not high yet, but it should help.

Posted by: BigMixer 14th March 2017, 08:56 PM

Great!

I think they will bounce back to top 20 with the video and then slowly to top 10 when the airplay kicks in.

Posted by: MrLoverboy 15th March 2017, 12:23 AM

Ok this made me hopeful again. Come thru, smasha

Posted by: shindymindy 15th March 2017, 09:40 AM

I think this will be one of those slow rising hits. I don't think LM have ever really had one of these before. I can see it going top 10 when it all kicks in.

Posted by: Tinasha 15th March 2017, 09:52 AM

It would have been the same for Hair and Touch would have been the same if Hair had not had its video released and if Touch had not been performed on X Factor. TOuch was like #97 before the X Factor performance.


Edit: Actually, Secret Love Song took almost a month to go top 40 after being announced/playlisted.

Posted by: Tinasha 16th March 2017, 09:09 AM

56 Little Mix No More Sad Songs (feat. Machine Gun Kelly)

Up 13 places because Grimmy played it this morning.

Posted by: shindymindy 16th March 2017, 09:24 AM

Nice climb! Hopefully it carries on! Spotify needs to get a big boost too please.

Posted by: MrLoverboy 16th March 2017, 11:58 AM

They need to make something to create buzz for this. I don't know, I hate video previews, but maybe drop 30 seconds of it for a UK show for people to know they have a new single coming.. do something.

I will say though, if this really underperforms, it will be good for them to realise they need to put in work

Posted by: Jonjo 16th March 2017, 12:25 PM

It really annoys me that they are expected to "put in work" to get hits though, when the likes of Drake, Chainsmokers, Justin Bieber, Ed etc.. can do so LITTLE and get massive hits. I know Ed's done so much with his new era, but he was already gonna be getting huge numbers irregardless!

I just think the only reason as to why it's not done quite as well (or so it seems) on initial impact, is because the timing was really wrong! It seems to be holding up rather nicely and gaining steady ground again now that Ed's tracks are slowly falling away now.

It'll be a hit no matter what I think. Once they release the video (which I believe won't happen until they're ready to promote) I reckon we'll be seeing healthier climbs! On paper this is a good strategy. It takes a couple of weeks for streams to build, so send that out whilst they're still in America, let radio slowly pick it up, drop the video and then promote as streaming is about to hit the peak and just as the video effect wears off.

Posted by: Tinasha 17th March 2017, 08:49 AM

B list now, still not great for airplay with Capital not playing it (they took it off), but it should help a bit. We need the video though. No Little Mix single other than leads has been a hit without the video or a performance.

Posted by: Defaze 17th March 2017, 09:27 AM

Capital took it off the playlist? Surely something is amiss behind the scenes? They've hammered everything Little Mix since 'Black Magic' -- even 'Oops' for a while!

Posted by: Tinasha 17th March 2017, 09:32 AM

Off daytime yes, (after 1 day). I think it's simply because it's too low on iTunes at the moment. I don't think anything is amiss with Little Mix because they're still hammering Touch,

Posted by: Defaze 17th March 2017, 10:02 AM

That makes sense, although it's such backwards logic since, y'know, it actually needs airplay to make a dent on iTunes. Then again, this is the same station that seems to think the big top 40 is somehow representative of music consumption in 2017.

Posted by: MrLoverboy 17th March 2017, 11:44 AM

I just hope by the time airplays kicks in, most of Ed album tracks disappear from Spotify top 20

Posted by: Jonjo 17th March 2017, 12:04 PM

Apparently they're falling away quite a bit atm! So he won't be cluttering up nearly as much as he has been. It'll all be OK in the end!

Posted by: Cameron 18th March 2017, 11:40 PM

Posted by: Matt1989 19th March 2017, 08:38 AM

As much as I love Ed it is kinda boring to just hear one artist in half the chart. I totally agree that the timing of releasing NMSS is terrible

Posted by: Cameron 19th March 2017, 09:00 AM

It said on Wikipedia that it was LM and Anne-Marie 😂😂😂 probably wrong then 😭

Posted by: Tinasha 19th March 2017, 09:38 AM

Out of the top 100 on iTunes. Mess.

Posted by: Jonjo 19th March 2017, 09:51 AM

Thanks to Drake though, right?

FFS. The timing is incredibly frustrating! I know I shouldn't be worried (and I'm really not) I'm just annoyed as to why they couldn't have chosen a better time to release it?

They really should've gone for 'Oops' seeing as radio were half on board with that anyway and (if true) they could've released the video to help it out whilst they're in the US touring, then come back here, release the remix of NMSS, wait a week or so, release the video, get airplay on board and then promote it on BGT and stuff!

Posted by: Tinasha 19th March 2017, 09:57 AM

I think the main issue with this is that as a post album release the video needs to be out sooner than later. Hair was heading for a nasty fall a few days after release but the video release saved it.

Posted by: Defaze 19th March 2017, 10:34 AM

This is bleak. The video really needs to be released this coming week.

Posted by: Andrew. 19th March 2017, 12:52 PM

Surely this has to smash? I think it might be my favourite Little Mix song, certainly the best on Glory Days

Posted by: Leonagwen 19th March 2017, 04:18 PM

Might be a good idea to release another single.This isn't doing well.

Posted by: RobBob 19th March 2017, 04:28 PM

Patience.

Posted by: Tinasha 19th March 2017, 04:31 PM

Okay I wouldn't go this far! It's just a slow rider, it isn't getting airplay right now, and this is just how it is for songs people don't hear. No other single off the album would be doing any better or any worse at this point.

Posted by: Court 19th March 2017, 05:19 PM

How much longer do you all think we'll have to wait for the video? I worry if they wait too much longer the little radio play they are getting will disappear

Posted by: Matt1989 19th March 2017, 09:21 PM

I have to admit I'm very concerned. This is a great song and deserves to get at least Top 10. Now that Touch has gone Platinum I think Mixers in the U.K. need to switch their focus to NMSS. Surely it can't be long until they release the MV

Posted by: Leonagwen 20th March 2017, 04:23 PM

Touch is still a big UK hit.Don't think any other song can be a hit until Touch starts losing momentum. Touch is #5 on UK airplay this week.

Posted by: BigMixer 20th March 2017, 06:19 PM

+ it's still top 20 without the Ed & Drake songs on Spotify

they really did release this too early but we shouldn't worry yet.

Posted by: Tinasha 21st March 2017, 10:35 AM

Posted by: Tinasha 21st March 2017, 03:58 PM

off the capital playlist after 3 weeks of not really playing it, due to its under-performance


I actually think they should 59p it on Friday

Posted by: Juliano 21st March 2017, 04:20 PM

They should have waited until the release of the video, but I'm sure the release of the video will help.

Posted by: Andrew. 21st March 2017, 07:10 PM

I know it's VERY early days for the single but this does seem to be doing quite disappointingly so far unfortunately I agree the best move is to reduce it to 59p and maybe try and get an advertisement on Spotify/iTunes hot songs etc.
Even if this does flop I doubt this'll do them any harm in the long term, they'll still be huge

Posted by: Court 21st March 2017, 11:11 PM

It randomly rose like 30 spots in the past hours and is back at #100 on iTunes. Does anyone know if it was played in and advert or used in a show on TV or something or was it just a good jump based on some radio spins?

Posted by: Juliano 21st March 2017, 11:59 PM

and it's 111 on Spotify, curious to know if it's increasing or decreasing.

Already super hyped for the video anyway!

Posted by: shindymindy 22nd March 2017, 10:30 AM

96 now - carry on climbing!

Posted by: Tinasha 23rd March 2017, 12:39 PM

I really hope they 59p this tomorrow, it should be doing so much better after a week on the R1 B list.


#90 in today's mids

Posted by: Tinasha 23rd March 2017, 11:09 PM

It's 59p!

Posted by: Jonjo 23rd March 2017, 11:20 PM

REALLY hope it helps (I'm sure it will!). We need it to get higher for Capital to get back on board!

Posted by: Tinasha 24th March 2017, 07:26 AM

As expected R1 hasn't moved this to A list, hopefully 59p can get it high enough that they reconsider and Capital re-adds it. It's a long climb though.

Posted by: Matt1989 24th March 2017, 07:58 AM

Hopefully that helps, although HQ actually acknowledging it exists would also be good

Posted by: Tinasha 24th March 2017, 08:43 AM

Wow, just jumped from 70 to 49.

It's also on the front of Hot Songs on iTunes

Posted by: shindymindy 24th March 2017, 09:16 AM

Big jump - all is not lost.

What a weird chart run it is going to have.

Posted by: Tinasha 24th March 2017, 10:03 AM

41 Little Mix - No More Sad Songs (feat. Machine Gun Kelly)

If it can get top 25, Capital should definitely re-add on Tuesday

Posted by: Cameron 24th March 2017, 11:15 AM

Capital are probably bitter because they aren't doing the summertime ball or some crap like that

Posted by: MrLoverboy 24th March 2017, 11:41 AM

It's a start!

Posted by: Andrew. 24th March 2017, 11:45 AM

Good news about the 59p rise! Now time for it to claim it's rightful #1 spot.

Posted by: Tinasha 24th March 2017, 11:47 AM

I was hoping this would make the top 10 initially, but now I'm just hoping it makes the top 40 for a few more weeks. Ideally they'll keep it discounted for at least 2 weeks (3 weeks ideally) and get the video out while it's still discounted.

#38 on iTunes now! The rise will slow down soon, but it'll start jumping up again on Monday.

Posted by: Court 24th March 2017, 03:13 PM

It's still listed on Capital's playlist on their website so is that just a mistake?

Posted by: Tinasha 24th March 2017, 03:17 PM

They sometimes take a while to remove songs from their playlist, though I can see them playlisting it on TUesday if it continues to climb.

Posted by: Court 24th March 2017, 03:24 PM

Fingers crossed then

Posted by: Defaze 24th March 2017, 04:07 PM

Oh wow, they must be aware of its underperformance, because I believe this is the first time they've discounted a current single, isn't it? I wish they'd capitalise on the boost and release the video.

Posted by: Jonjo 24th March 2017, 06:27 PM

Which will be incredibly shit of them and will be the last straw on me being supportive of Capital... especially when they did TWO consecutive nights on the last ball Capital had! :/

Posted by: Tinasha 24th March 2017, 07:07 PM

Up to 31! Discount still helping!

Posted by: BigMixer 24th March 2017, 11:41 PM

#29 (+2)

they should release the video in 2 weeks. Hopefully by that time it's A-list on Radio 1.

Posted by: Tinasha 25th March 2017, 02:42 PM

#25!

Yesssss at this discount boost.

Posted by: shindymindy 25th March 2017, 03:26 PM

Carry on climbing please!

Anyone else think they're doing this because the video's on its way?

Posted by: Jonjo 25th March 2017, 03:32 PM

Either that or it's to get Capital back on board! They probs discounted it to get it to a decent position so they can increase the price when the video drops.

Posted by: Tinasha 25th March 2017, 04:23 PM

Yeah, I reckon it's to get capital on board and get it A listed on R1. I really hope they release he video while it's still discounted.

Posted by: MrLoverboy 25th March 2017, 09:33 PM

I'd love to think that, but that would be assuming their team is smart and that's not the case. I think it was a desperate move. Thank god they did it

Posted by: Juliano 25th March 2017, 09:39 PM

I should imagine the video will save this one! It hasn't even had a chance to hit properly yet, Power still has more streams than both versions of this combined!

Posted by: Tinasha 27th March 2017, 08:00 AM

Discount effect is wearing off and it's falling again due to 0 airplay. Release the damn video.


#52 in the mids today...thought it might be higher

Posted by: shindymindy 27th March 2017, 01:58 PM

RELEASE THE DAMN VIDEO!

Posted by: Tinasha 28th March 2017, 07:54 AM

Given Ariana support was a bit of a waste of time and energy, I'm missing them in the UK given the fact that Glory Days hasn't been that widely promoted here, in comparison to their other eras. They have the weekend off this weekend so could technically do The Voice, but if not a stint on Graham Norton when they get back would be good. And where's the video? I definitely feel like they're not present enough in the UK at the moment, which is showing in the decline of the album sales.

Posted by: Defaze 28th March 2017, 08:15 AM

Yeah, I'm really hoping they come back for a short stint of promo; even a visit to Capital would suffice. This really need their support if it wants any hope of going top 20 with this.

Wasn't there a observation a few days ago about them having a hidden video on their YouTube channel? I thought for sure the NMSS would be released yesterday. How far in advance are these things usually announced? I know for 'Touch' it was only a few hours before, but is that usually the case for their videos? I would've thought they'd like to build some hype first at least.

Posted by: Tinasha 28th March 2017, 08:17 AM

With their videos there seems to be no rules, they just come out whenever, sometimes hyped sometimes not.

I've heard fans of artists saying this "unlisted/private videos" have been uploaded before and it's never happened.

Posted by: BigMixer 28th March 2017, 10:28 AM

I guess they are doing the same thing they did with Touch's video - releasing it months after it was filmed. However in that case Touch was doing great on iTunes and Spotify without the video and NMSS is stuggling. As you guys already said, they should come back to the UK ASAP and focus on their main music market.

Posted by: Tinasha 28th March 2017, 12:08 PM

Capital are back on board

Posted by: shindymindy 28th March 2017, 12:23 PM

Good news

Posted by: Defaze 28th March 2017, 12:46 PM

Fantastic -- seems they played it just before 12pm. The discount is really working wonders.

EDIT: They played it again before 5, so at least it's getting reasonably decent rotation. I know I'm bias, but it sounds incredible blasting in the car. I'm honestly surprised it hasn't taken off more.

Posted by: MrLoverboy 29th March 2017, 12:37 AM

That's something........ Video soon now please

Posted by: Tinasha 29th March 2017, 07:37 AM

Let me know if you hear it today, there website is a bit messed up.

Edit: Heard it around 9AM

Posted by: Tinasha 29th March 2017, 01:59 PM

Video out at midnight! Perfect timing!

Posted by: Jonjo 29th March 2017, 02:14 PM

AHHHHH!!!

Ooft. Assuming they still have at least a day left of being 59p! (Or have they been increased haha)

Posted by: Tinasha 29th March 2017, 02:27 PM

Hopefully they keep the discount on Friday for another week. I can see them taking it off now that the video is out though.

Posted by: MrLoverboy 29th March 2017, 02:41 PM

Posted by: Defaze 29th March 2017, 02:47 PM

I tuned in at ~9 so must have just missed it. They played before midday too.

Edit: playing it again now!



Finally!

I've just had a gander at the preview pics and now I'm beyond excited. They look like superstars in this one:




It would be daft to up the price now; the video boost + discount combined could be the thing it needs to properly take off.

Posted by: Juliano 29th March 2017, 02:59 PM

Ahhhhh! I'm not even ready!

Posted by: shindymindy 29th March 2017, 03:43 PM

Whoop whoop! Can't wait.

They really should hype up their video releases a little more.

Let's see if this video helps the song climb on iTunes worldwide like Touch did.

Posted by: Karl. 29th March 2017, 03:49 PM

The video actually looks so good. Oh yes we can forget the Touch music video happened.

Posted by: Tinasha 29th March 2017, 04:37 PM

www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/playlist

A listed and B listed on radio 2...

Edit - fixed now. Just B listed, still great.

Posted by: Defaze 29th March 2017, 04:43 PM

Nice, get that older demographic! I don't think 'Touch' was playlisted by R2, was it?

Posted by: Tinasha 29th March 2017, 04:46 PM

Nope, and if this does make the A list, it'll be the first of their songs to do so since Love Me Like You.

Posted by: BigMixer 29th March 2017, 05:42 PM

Yeeeeees!! I'm so ready to be slayed tonight!

Posted by: mr_pmt 29th March 2017, 07:04 PM

At least they're putting some thought into the timing of the video this time. I hope it's a better video than 'Touch' as well.

Posted by: Juliano 29th March 2017, 07:16 PM

Love the line dancing!

Posted by: Same Ol' Andrew 29th March 2017, 09:02 PM

Looks like another great video! *.* Never really got that hate for the Touch video, I've always found it good fun and one of their most enjoyable.

Posted by: DiamondHeart 29th March 2017, 09:12 PM

THEY LOOK GREAT but not too keen on the line dancing but I'm glad the video is finally here.

Posted by: gooddelta 29th March 2017, 09:44 PM

Reminds me of Coyote Ugly/Leann Rimes' Can't Fight The Moonlight vid, from the clip. Looks way better than Touch though, looking forward to seeing it!

Posted by: Rossco 29th March 2017, 11:08 PM

Quite enjoyed the video. Really love this song

Posted by: Jonjo 29th March 2017, 11:09 PM

Nice to see them enjoying themselves and having a great time. I'd put it about middle of their videography though. I prefer the 'Touch' video.

Does the job though and sells the song well.

Posted by: Tinasha 29th March 2017, 11:12 PM

A bit boring and safe. Looks more 'credible' than the Touch video but is nowhere near as entertaining.

Posted by: Davidson 29th March 2017, 11:15 PM

Awful video.

The beginning with the throwing change at the street musician seems unnecessary and pointless. I hate the fact the music pauses after about 10 seconds. The country bar theme doesn't make any sense for the summery vibe of the song. The riding the bull parts are also pretty cringe.

Don't know why these girls are struggling so hard at making a decent video.

Posted by: Cameron 29th March 2017, 11:18 PM

Jesy shaking her finger needs to be made into a gif

It sells the song, but I was hoping for a summery beach video with some stunning shots of waterfalls and stuff

Posted by: Ryan. 29th March 2017, 11:23 PM

I love the country music bar theme although I'm not totally sure this song completely suits it. That said it does feel summery to me, summer night rather than summer day but still summery. The general vibe reminds me a bit of 'What About Us' although that of course had multiple settings but it is all very Americanised just as that was.

I actually think it is the best of the three videos this era so far though. Touch would've been great if they'd have changed the ending where it was revealed they are on some random stripey colour planet, should've just kept it as a complete normal video set in a studio. Shout Out To My Ex was similarly Americanised but while that one is very very pretty, it never quite grasped the energy of the live performance which is what I'll always compare it to seeing as it was premiered live. This one is my favourite of the three.

Posted by: Juliano 29th March 2017, 11:31 PM

I love it. Now I'm gonna sit back and watch everyone be overly critical like good fans should be.

Posted by: Defaze 29th March 2017, 11:33 PM

Bar the annoying pause 10 seconds in, I actually really like it. It put a huge smile on my face, and the middle 8 onwards is epic. I'm certainly not seeing what's 'awful' about it. The setting worked for me; they already captured the summery vibe with SOTME -- retreading the same theme would be beyond dull.

The 'Touch' criticism I got, and it was definitely warranted, but I'm not sure what there is to hate about this (bar the fact it's a little safe).

Posted by: troylovesmusic 29th March 2017, 11:35 PM

I like the video it's cute and does the job . I feel like this video would have suited another song more though (Power) I also much prefer The Touch Video atm which imo got unfairly critised and has turned out to be one of my favourite videos from them !

Posted by: Tinasha 29th March 2017, 11:36 PM

Shout Out is easily the best of the three while Touch is the most entertaining. This is a completely serviceable video though, a standard pop video. 'Awful' is a bit of a reach...

Posted by: Jonjo 29th March 2017, 11:43 PM

Yeah! I feel this theme would've suited the 'Power' video SO MUCH more (obvs with them pulling up on their motorbikes etc..)

I think the only fair criticism this could get is that it is a little bit "safe", but that doesn't necessarily mean it's a "bad" video. I do love seeing them having a blast though, especially towards the end when they're soaking everyone and each other.

The Machine Gun Kelly parts were probs my favourite parts. He adds quite a bit more to the song for me! I wish that his shots with the girls weren't so quick to cut away!

Posted by: Court 29th March 2017, 11:51 PM

I think this video might be my favorite of the three and that's coming from someone who has loved all three. That ending with them up on the bar spraying the water and all the bull riding shots are iconic. It was sexy without trying too hard which I thought Touch was at points. I could tell that they had fun filming it and I had fun watching it. It's very close to Shout Out for me because I think they both were fitting for the song and well shot but this one was just more fun for me as a viewer.

Posted by: Defaze 30th March 2017, 12:00 AM

Yeah, I think this may be my favourite of the 3 singles upon initial viewing. SOTME was gorgeous but not as entertaining imo, and Touch is Touch...

MGK cosplaying as Freddy Krueger is a little distracting though.

Posted by: Jay 🙋🏻 30th March 2017, 12:23 AM

They all look great (both outfits) and it's a well shot video. The vibe of the song certainly didn't make me think of a low lit bar and cow girls, but somehow it still works. I didn't really like the extended silence quite soon into the song though. My favourite scene is when they're on top of the bar!

Posted by: MrLoverboy 30th March 2017, 12:34 AM

Yeah he looked fantastic with them, but it feels so quick and uneventful that I barely remember after it's done.

Posted by: Tinasha 30th March 2017, 06:27 AM

Hoping this can get to around #15 on iTunes today

Posted by: Tinasha 30th March 2017, 07:50 AM

Up to #21!

Posted by: Tinasha 30th March 2017, 08:07 AM

18 now!

Posted by: BigMixer 30th March 2017, 09:03 AM

I kept imagining a night club set while I was watching the video. It's alright I guess, nothing special. Not every video has to be great.

Posted by: shindymindy 30th March 2017, 09:27 AM

Good increases now - hopefully top 15 (even top 10) soon!

Posted by: Tinasha 30th March 2017, 09:28 AM

Yes, at least something is happening. SLS was bad because it had 0 replay value.

Posted by: SeanGrey 30th March 2017, 09:49 AM

Solo shots during MGK's part are the best bit!

Posted by: Matt1989 30th March 2017, 10:04 AM

MV is out and it's rising on iTunes- no surprise there. Personally I love the video

Posted by: Juliano 30th March 2017, 11:59 AM

According to kworb it's at 14 now.

Posted by: MrLoverboy 30th March 2017, 12:11 PM

Yeah it's how I always pictured the video but it's also the most predictable "plot". Though it would be nice to see Little Mix in a night club set, a la Piece of Me.

Posted by: Jonjo 30th March 2017, 01:03 PM

You've just described the 'Your Love' video to me

Posted by: Juliano 30th March 2017, 01:05 PM

Did anyone else think that the lower "No more sad songs" was Perrie? I'm quite shocked it's Leigh.

Posted by: MrLoverboy 30th March 2017, 01:07 PM

Totally! I still find it so odd seeing Leigh lip it watching the video

Posted by: Tinasha 30th March 2017, 01:09 PM

Yeah me and MrLoverboy discussed this in the past and we agreed it was Perrie (I thought it was Jesy at first). So I'm V shocked it's Leigh.

Posted by: Jonjo 30th March 2017, 01:20 PM

Haha yeah, same! It's so weird. She sounds so much like her! Interested to see if it was just her miming along to Perrie's part though. So I'm looking forward to seeing a performance or two!

Hopefully Live Lounge soon! (Preferably one of those special ones)

Posted by: MrLoverboy 30th March 2017, 01:37 PM

I really thought it was Perrie but I could see why some would say Jesy.. but I'd never in a million years think it was Leigh.. Need to see her doing it live

Posted by: OutstandingMixer 30th March 2017, 01:43 PM

Hopefully this will start climbing properly on Spotify soon, it's currently still struggling at #91. The video finally being unveiled and increased radio airplay should help though.

Posted by: BigMixer 30th March 2017, 01:45 PM

Youtube comment

am I the only one who didn't notice this before reading this comment?

Posted by: Jonjo 30th March 2017, 01:51 PM

Came here to post exactly the same thing.

That is such a brilliant touch! Hopefully if that's the case, in the 'Power' music video, we see them leaving the bar they're currently in on motorbikes and driving off into the deeper into the US and having some sort of Western themed music video, before ending the era with 'Nothing Else Matters' or 'Your Love' or something

Posted by: Juliano 30th March 2017, 02:15 PM

I actually noticed that, because they are in the same car when they arrive and the man is playing Shout Out on his guitar, I'm here for part 3 being Power.

Posted by: Leonagwen 30th March 2017, 02:23 PM

Good video .Leigh Anne is so hot in the video.

Posted by: MrLoverboy 30th March 2017, 02:25 PM

Me neither. I'm terrible at noticing things.

Posted by: liamk97 30th March 2017, 02:31 PM

I echo the comments of Leigh-Anne stealing lyrics from the other girls.

I was a bit underwhelmed on first watch but I feel that's mainly because I wasn't expecting the theme they went for as, on second watch, I'm appreciating it a lot more. It also didn't help that you have the disjointed silence at the start and I didn't feel the '5 6 7 8' -esque dance routine for the first chorus suited the pacing of the song at all, but everything after that is much better. I like the parts of Jesy on the pool/snooker table and all four girls dancing on the bar is great. I also like the bull riding shots - they work really well in slow mo and interchanging with shots of Machine Gun Kelly (his parts also work because he's actually there with the girls - 'Secret Love Song', take note!).

It's not quite back to the quality of 'Black Magic' or 'Hair' but it's definitely a step in the right direction and easily my favourite from this era. I like the idea of it being a part 2 to 'Shout Out to My Ex' and I'm really digging the idea of 'Power' having a part 3 video (although 'Power' needs a radio edit!).

Posted by: Juliano 30th March 2017, 04:55 PM

Great to see the album version in iTunes top 200 now.

Posted by: mr_pmt 30th March 2017, 05:00 PM

It's a nice enough video, I agree not much happens and it doesn't suit the song but it's nice enough. I would say they had more 'flair' in the 'Touch' video but unfortunately everything else about it completely ruined that.

One thing I have got from this though, that's the first time I've seen Machine Gun Kelly and he's a proper cutie!

Posted by: Electro Paradise 30th March 2017, 05:49 PM

I'm pretty much always underwhelmed by their music videos, it's their weakness imo. I'm glad it's boosting the song though, NMSS deserves more success on the charts than it has had so far. Fingers crossed it'll have a long run and get a good peak.

Posted by: Tinasha 30th March 2017, 07:41 PM

3,060,021 views after 18 hours. How does this compare to the last two?

Posted by: BigMixer 30th March 2017, 07:49 PM

Touch did 4M in 24 hours, so this is doing about the same.

EDIT : it's actually been almost 21 hours since the video was released, so it should do less than Touch. But remember, Touch was already performed on X Factor and had a lot of buzz before the video was released, so these numbers are great for NMSS!

Posted by: shindymindy 30th March 2017, 09:55 PM

3.6 million now.
Just over 1 hour to go to make 24 hours

Posted by: Tinasha 30th March 2017, 10:03 PM

an hour until we find out if it's increased to 99p. If it isn't it'll go top 10 on iTunes easily tomorrow.


Also A list on Radio 1 tomorrow please!

Posted by: Tinasha 30th March 2017, 11:06 PM

Still 59p. Though, so are Katy Perry and Zedd who are right behind are 59p now too, so might overtake.

Posted by: shindymindy 30th March 2017, 11:24 PM

Come through NMSS.

Posted by: MrLoverboy 31st March 2017, 12:37 AM

Hopefully A-listed today!! Come through, Radio 1

Posted by: Tinasha 31st March 2017, 06:25 AM

A listed!

Posted by: shindymindy 31st March 2017, 06:49 AM

Yes!!! All fitting together nicely

Posted by: shindymindy 31st March 2017, 08:00 AM

Number 9 on uk iTunes.

New peak

Posted by: Tinasha 31st March 2017, 08:02 AM

Yessss. Hopefully can get higher to counteract the songs that are going to overtake them later today.

Posted by: shindymindy 31st March 2017, 08:14 AM

With radio now on board, the discount and the video, I can see this having big climbs again today.

Spotify

#76 (+15)

Posted by: shindymindy 31st March 2017, 09:23 AM

Good climb on Spotify

Posted by: Tinasha 31st March 2017, 09:31 AM

Hopefully it can get to 8 or 7 on iTunes before Katy, Calvin (and possibly Zedd and Demi)

Posted by: shindymindy 31st March 2017, 09:52 AM

Number 8 now - that was quite a big jump.
5-7 are all quite close so if they have a few more big updates they will be number 5 soon.

edit:
They may actually already be number 6 as it's really close:
5 Kygo & Selena Gomez - It Ain't Me
0.4783 0.4573
6 Anne-Marie - Ciao Adios
0.4441 0.4661
7 Ed Sheeran - Shape of You
0.4430 0.4521
8 Little Mix - No More Sad Songs (feat. Machine Gun Kelly)
0.4425 0.3981

Posted by: Tinasha 31st March 2017, 10:02 AM

Yeah, they're really close to #6, so should be safe to stay top 10!

Posted by: Jonjo 31st March 2017, 10:09 AM

That jump was massive! Top 10 effect being at 59p doing it's job! Fantastic!

Posted by: shindymindy 31st March 2017, 10:18 AM

Number 6 now
Carry on climbing please - top 5 here we come.

Great timing with the video and the price reduction - now only Spotify needs to catch up

Posted by: MrLoverboy 31st March 2017, 11:58 AM

Finally it's exciting to visit this thread again!

Posted by: Court 31st March 2017, 03:07 PM

This might be a dumb question but I'm kind of new to all of this chart stuff. Do iTunes music video sales count as a sale of the song or is it just a totally different thing? Because No More Sad Songs is #1 on that chart and while that probably isn't a lot of sales, anything to make up for the lack of streaming could help.

Posted by: Tinasha 31st March 2017, 03:10 PM

I wish they did, but they don't.

Posted by: Andrew♀ 31st March 2017, 03:21 PM

Can't believe the video has given the girls that much of a boost! It's an incredible video so well deserved. Should definitely at least get a new peak this week

Posted by: Tinasha 31st March 2017, 03:25 PM

Their videos always give them big boosts, that's why it's a shame the Touch one came so late - they would have probably peaked at 2 or 3.

Posted by: Matt1989 31st March 2017, 03:42 PM

Oh I have no doubt we'll get a new peak next week

Posted by: pippa 31st March 2017, 08:45 PM

It really appears to be climbing strongly now.

Down to #9

Posted by: Juliano 2nd April 2017, 02:28 AM

Back up to 8!

Posted by: Tinasha 2nd April 2017, 07:51 AM

Up to #63 on Spotify!

Up to #7 on iTunes!

Posted by: shindymindy 2nd April 2017, 08:21 AM

Going the right way again!

Carry on

Posted by: MrLoverboy 2nd April 2017, 06:07 PM

Julia took over. #8 on iTunes. Hopefully boost tomorrow for iTunes and Spotify!

Posted by: Tinasha 3rd April 2017, 07:47 AM

Really hope this can stay strong on iTunes today. That Voice winner is going to overtake at some point this morning.

Posted by: Tinasha 3rd April 2017, 08:53 AM

Up to 7 again now, so when Mo overtakes they'll still be at 8, hoping Ed falls now the weekend is over, too.


Hopefully the fall on today's Spotify was just a blip.


#18 in the mids. Probably around #25 on Friday?

Posted by: Jonjo 3rd April 2017, 10:15 AM

18 in the mids? Thats great news!

Posted by: shindymindy 3rd April 2017, 10:19 AM

18 is great - hopefully it carries on climbing Spotify and can go top 10 officially.

Posted by: Tinasha 3rd April 2017, 10:22 AM

It might have gone top 10 next week if it was still 59p but songs usually only get kept at 59p for two weeks. A third week would be great though.

I just really want this to out-peak How Ya Doin's #16, this shouldn't be their lowest peaker.

Posted by: Tinasha 3rd April 2017, 06:29 PM

Heard it on Heart once this evening. Them and R2 use the album version.

Posted by: pippa 3rd April 2017, 06:57 PM

A top 20 peak would be a great result for them as the album has done well. A top 10 peak is starting to look unlikely for them now with this.

Posted by: Matt1989 3rd April 2017, 07:23 PM

The very least this song deserves is Top 10 so I really hope it gets there. With the Ed/Drake impact hopefully dying off it's not impossible

Posted by: Tinasha 3rd April 2017, 07:29 PM

If they did a performance somewhere this weekend or next, it'd go top 10, but it won't at the moment. I'd be happy with like #15 though.

Posted by: robbiesglory 3rd April 2017, 07:54 PM

I have a feeling Columbia are going to start pushing this, they wouldn't cut Touch for no reason when it was beginning to rise. This is the definition of a mess.

Posted by: Tinasha 4th April 2017, 06:18 AM

Up to #61 on Spotify

Posted by: Tinasha 4th April 2017, 11:47 AM

#16 in the mids.

What a turnaround for this. It was doing so badly before, because it didn't get the immediate airplay they usually do.

Posted by: shindymindy 4th April 2017, 12:26 PM

Fantastic news! Is there missing data?

If not, I can see this going top 15 this week. It's firmly in the top 10 on iTunes now and rising.

Posted by: Tinasha 4th April 2017, 12:27 PM

There's always missing data from the day before. Rolling missing data means it'll fall on Friday, but we still might make the top 20.

Posted by: Tinasha 4th April 2017, 12:27 PM

There's always missing data from the day before. Rolling missing data means it'll fall on Friday, but we still might make the top 20.

Posted by: shindymindy 4th April 2017, 12:31 PM

Fingers crossed.

Spotify numbers need to increase

Posted by: Tinasha 4th April 2017, 12:35 PM

It's just been moved up Hot Hits UK, 10th song now, which should help.

The thing is, I worry it'll crack the top 50 on Spotify at the end of this week, but the discount will be taken away at the same time, and it'll have peaked on iTunes and Spotify at totally different times. If they keep the discount on Friday, I'm quite confident it'll go top 10.

Posted by: Jonjo 4th April 2017, 05:37 PM

Oops. Wrong topic.

But great to see the huge turn around for it!

Posted by: pippa 4th April 2017, 07:42 PM

Wonderful to see it continuing to rise. Top 15 would be wonderful if they can make it this week.

Posted by: Tinasha 5th April 2017, 06:51 AM

51 on spotify today. So close!

Posted by: shindymindy 5th April 2017, 07:36 AM

Argh - frustrating.

Hopefully once inside the top 50 it gets a massive boost.

5 Little Mix No More Sad Songs (feat. Machine Gun Kelly)

New peak on iTunes!

Posted by: shindymindy 5th April 2017, 09:29 AM

May get to number 4 soon if MO keeps on falling

Posted by: BigMixer 5th April 2017, 09:54 AM

doing good so far!

Posted by: WallIsSoGood 5th April 2017, 10:02 AM

Y'all two weeks ago were slating this being a single choice!

Posted by: Jonjo 5th April 2017, 10:05 AM

People weren't slating the choice, they were just worried (prematurely) about it's iTunes and Spotify's position at that particular time. This is Buzzjack. Everyone seems to worry too soon about certain songs nowadays

Posted by: Tinasha 5th April 2017, 10:21 AM

THIS!

Amazing single choice, just needed good airplay and a video.

If they keep the 59p on Friday, it'll be top 10 next week

Posted by: shindymindy 5th April 2017, 10:24 AM

Number 4 now!!!!

Posted by: Matt1989 5th April 2017, 10:34 AM

Heard it on the radio this morning and it seems to be getting a fair bit of play on music TV. Great to see it finally rising

Posted by: Jonjo 5th April 2017, 10:41 AM

COME THRU NO MORE SAD SONGS!!! *SHAKING CHEESEBLOCK*

Posted by: Defaze 5th April 2017, 10:57 AM

Admittedly I was a little worried when it was out the top 100 in iTunes and seemingly being snubbed by Capital, but I still would've took a flop NMSS over a smash 'Oops' any day of the week.

Great to see it doing well though. Here's hoping they keep the discount come Friday.

Posted by: Tinasha 6th April 2017, 06:43 AM

51 on spotify again FFS Missed out on the top 50 by a fraction of streams.

Posted by: shindymindy 6th April 2017, 07:37 AM

Oh man!!!

Posted by: Tinasha 6th April 2017, 07:43 AM

It's really close though, its streams went up, it should get in tomorrow...fingers crossed. Up to top 10 on UK airplay now, kicking Touch out of the top 10.

Posted by: shindymindy 6th April 2017, 08:17 AM

Fingers crossed!

Posted by: Tinasha 6th April 2017, 08:27 AM

170 streams out !

Posted by: shindymindy 6th April 2017, 09:16 AM

No way! That's ridiculous.

At least they are still climbing.

Posted by: Jonjo 6th April 2017, 09:34 AM

The behind the scenes is very funny (as per)!



Machine Gun Kelly preaching the truth *.*

Posted by: Tinasha 6th April 2017, 06:12 PM

So this deserves to go top 10.

Tomorrow will be a big deciding factor with A) if it's still 59p and B) if it's entered the top 50 on Spotify. Massive fingers crossed on both accounts.

Posted by: Court 6th April 2017, 11:08 PM

They kept the discount (or at least thats what kworb is showing me)

Posted by: Tinasha 6th April 2017, 11:09 PM

Yessss.

It just needs to enter the top 50 on spotify now and climb into the top 30 as quick as possible.

Posted by: Defaze 6th April 2017, 11:16 PM

So glad. I thought this was destined to be their lowest peaking single a few weeks back, so it's fantastic that it has a chance at top 10. I imagine it'll climb pretty quickly once it does go top 50 on Spotify.

Posted by: Jonjo 6th April 2017, 11:20 PM

absolutely brilliant news!

Posted by: Tinasha 6th April 2017, 11:21 PM

Stream on Spotify as much as you possibly can!

Posted by: Tinasha 7th April 2017, 06:16 AM

Hopefully the fact they've been taken out of the advertised 59p batch doesn't effect them too negatively.

Posted by: Karl. 7th April 2017, 07:02 AM

Finally entered Top 50 (#49) on Spotify!

Posted by: shindymindy 7th April 2017, 07:37 AM

Big climbs on Spotify now please.

Slowly but surely this has proven us all wrong.

Posted by: Tinasha 7th April 2017, 07:40 AM

So pleased it's top 50. Big climb tomorrow please?

Posted by: caseclosed 7th April 2017, 10:23 AM

Big climbs on weekends are usually reserved to the moe established hita, I don't consider this one to be one of them yet but we'll see...

Posted by: Tinasha 7th April 2017, 10:30 AM

It should do something from the top 50 effect. If it falls out.... lmao

Posted by: robbiesglory 7th April 2017, 10:36 AM

This has jumped #42 to #9 this week on radio

Posted by: shindymindy 7th April 2017, 10:58 AM

Now that's a big jump!

Posted by: Andrew♀ 7th April 2017, 03:13 PM

Really good news at Spotify, it might not sound like much but the difference between #49 and #51 on the Spotify chart is pretty important as songs tend to climb up much faster once they're in the top 50. Really want this to smash, their best song for me now

Posted by: Tinasha 7th April 2017, 03:19 PM

I'm predicting #12 for this next Friday, which, all things considered is pretty great.

Posted by: shindymindy 7th April 2017, 03:41 PM

I think it may just about sneak into the top 10 next week.
Here for it to be around for a while though.

Posted by: Tinasha 7th April 2017, 04:10 PM

#17 this week! They have a 100% top 20 hit rate now. Though I'm starting to doubt top 10, it should manage to out peak How Ya Doin' next week and not be their lowest peaker!

Posted by: Defaze 7th April 2017, 04:24 PM

You're probably right, I can't see them edging out any of the current top 10 this week given that they all have much stronger streaming, plus obviously Harry Styles will be entering. Suppose it could possibly get there in a few weeks if its sales hold up, but I imagine it'll slide on iTunes when they remove the discount. Top 20's still a fantastic result.

Posted by: Tinasha 7th April 2017, 04:33 PM

I think if they'd entered the Spotify top 50 even 2 days earlier and had a bit of a head start there, they would have managed, but it's probably going to be a bit too late by the time it peaks on Spotify.


Down to 7 on iTunes (Wishful thinking but I hope they get added back to the 59p batch soon)

Posted by: DiamondHeart 7th April 2017, 05:25 PM

Although I'm glad it's reached 17 and continued their run of top 20 singles, this deserves to be top 10. Hopefully with it charting, it'll receive more radio plays and increase on Spotify because this song cannot be their lowest-charting single. It's brilliant! Any chance of a UK performance or do they still have a while touring with Ariana? Would just give them a nice boast, they're doing fine on iTunes but need to increase in streams and on radio.

Posted by: Matt1989 7th April 2017, 05:49 PM

Number 17 is great for this week. With radio and TV airplay picking up, as well as streaming, it's definitely got a chance at Top 10

Posted by: Tinasha 8th April 2017, 06:38 AM

Up to #39 on Spotify

Posted by: shindymindy 8th April 2017, 07:11 AM

Awesome - great jump

Posted by: Jonjo 8th April 2017, 08:54 AM

This is going top 10 officially this week, isn't it?

Posted by: Tinasha 8th April 2017, 09:19 AM

Could be very close. It really depends if it has another leap tomorrow on spotify, if it stays in the same place, or falls then it's not gonna quite make it.

Posted by: shindymindy 8th April 2017, 09:27 AM

Fingers crossed - stream peeps!!!

Posted by: DiamondHeart 8th April 2017, 12:03 PM

Great leap, wow! Hope this continues throughout the week.

Posted by: Tinasha 8th April 2017, 12:20 PM

It sounds so good in the sun.

Posted by: Juliano 8th April 2017, 02:46 PM

It's slowly clawing it's way back to #4 on iTunes, not far off!

Posted by: Defaze 8th April 2017, 03:16 PM

I really does. I blasted their singles run from 'Hair' to 'Power' in the car and it was life altering. Not a dud among them.

Great news about its Spotify gain. Impressive considering it was a Friday.

Posted by: MrLoverboy 8th April 2017, 05:16 PM

The only song dark green from the entire top 10! http://kworb.net/popuk/
But it's really far from #4 so I'm happy with #5 right now. So glad it seems to finally becoming the hit it should be

Posted by: shindymindy 9th April 2017, 06:38 AM

NMSS up to 34 on Spotify (+5)

Posted by: Tinasha 9th April 2017, 07:48 AM

Yesss! That's so good for a Saturday!

Posted by: Matt1989 9th April 2017, 10:57 AM

Great news about Spotify! It seems to be pretty steady on iTunes so if it can keep rising on streams then it could make Top 10, which it certainly deserves to

Posted by: Tinasha 10th April 2017, 04:19 PM

11 in the mids guys. Predicting 14 for the end of the week.

Posted by: pippa 10th April 2017, 04:31 PM

It is wonderful to looks on track to climb into the top 15 this week, i hope it can firmly stay there now.

Posted by: RobBob 10th April 2017, 04:38 PM

Yeah, just glad for the time being that this won't be their lowest peaker.

Posted by: Tinasha 10th April 2017, 05:31 PM

Hair was a huge hit and never made the top 10 so hopefully this had similar longevity!

Posted by: Tinasha 11th April 2017, 10:59 AM

Slight recovery on Spotify, up to #33 which is a new peak.

Posted by: BigMixer 11th April 2017, 11:15 AM

Coming for Touch's wig on Spotify

Posted by: MrLoverboy 11th April 2017, 12:26 PM

Ugh, can this go top 30 already on Spotify?

Posted by: Tinasha 11th April 2017, 03:34 PM

Ultimately, I think whilst this is doing an okay job, I think Touch has been such a huge hit that it's hindered the success of this somewhat. Not even when they first announced and released it, but even now 5 weeks later, Touch is still one of the most played songs on Capital and Heart so is really eating into NMSS' commercial airplay.

commercial airplay chart today:

Touch #3
No More Sad Songs #19

Posted by: Juliano 11th April 2017, 08:40 PM

I'm really craving a live performance of this. It will be interesting to see how it works.

Posted by: shindymindy 12th April 2017, 07:17 AM

Up to 31 on Spotify.

Posted by: Tinasha 12th April 2017, 07:37 AM

Spotify peaks from their last two eras:

Black Magic #3
Love Me Like You #25
Secret Love Song #11
Hair #21
Shout Out To My Ex #1
Touch #2
No More Sad Songs #31

Posted by: Tinasha 12th April 2017, 12:38 PM

#15 in yesterday's mids, looks like it'll end up being their lowest peaker.

Posted by: Defaze 12th April 2017, 12:54 PM

Not 'Little Me' and HYD out-peaking one their best singles to date.

Posted by: Tinasha 12th April 2017, 02:25 PM

#16 today but looks like Katy will overtake by Friday.

Posted by: shindymindy 12th April 2017, 02:26 PM

Really? You have to be kidding me!!

Posted by: Tinasha 12th April 2017, 02:27 PM

Nope, sorry.

Posted by: Andrew♀ 12th April 2017, 03:22 PM

This is the 4th single from an album that's already sold over 500k, #17 is still really good. Not Little Me outpeaking it though

Posted by: Tinasha 12th April 2017, 03:27 PM

3rd! Still doing okay though.

Posted by: Defaze 12th April 2017, 03:27 PM

It's the 3rd. But I do agree. It's just a little frustrating that it doesn't even look set to climb after initially looking to challenge the top 10 this week.

I suppose there's always next week if the discount remains.

edit: woops, beaten.

Posted by: Andrew♀ 12th April 2017, 03:30 PM

Whoops, I'd just remembered there was a 4th single (that being Power of course) and thought it was NMSS for some reason It is frustrating when it deserves to be huge for them, I agree. At least Power will be huge #1 *.*

Posted by: DiamondHeart 12th April 2017, 04:02 PM

I'll be sad if it doesn't rise, I was at least hoping for top 15 charting this week hopefully it'll stay around on the charts, rise on radio/Spotify/airplay a bit more in the next few weeks and when they do remove the discount, I hope it'll stabilize nicely and reach a silver certification eventually even if it doesn't reach the top 10. It's still a great song and will help shift album copies.

Posted by: Juliano 12th April 2017, 05:12 PM

Stream stream stream people! And download the single version those of you who haven't! Maybe they can release a dance remix/acoustic version to help it.

Posted by: BigMixer 13th April 2017, 02:59 PM

#10 on iTunes and #30 on Spotify.

There is still a chance for a new peak if it keeps rising on Spotify.

Posted by: Tinasha 13th April 2017, 11:36 PM

Added back to the 59p batch on iTunes.

Posted by: Defaze 13th April 2017, 11:44 PM

Genuinely surprised it remained discounted. Pls outpeak HYD now.

A bit annoying that both 'Issues' and 'Stay' are still in the 59p batch, since they're clogging up the top 10 (plus, y'know, they're both hideous songs).

Posted by: Tinasha 13th April 2017, 11:55 PM

I low key enjoy Stay, generic as it is. Issues is so irritating. I don't think there is any big releases this week so Little Mix might be able to climb back up into the top 10 on iTunes.

Posted by: Tinasha 14th April 2017, 09:01 AM

3rd week on Radio 1 A list, great news. Down one on Spotify, stable just outside the top 10 on iTunes.

Posted by: shindymindy 14th April 2017, 09:06 AM

Good news - hopefully it carries on rising on spotify and that being added back into the 59p batch makes a difference.

Posted by: robbiesglory 14th April 2017, 04:20 PM

#16 this week.

Posted by: robbiesglory 14th April 2017, 04:24 PM

Do you think this can go top 10 next week?

Posted by: Defaze 14th April 2017, 04:37 PM

Meh, 'I Want You To Know' >>>>> 'Stay' if we're talking generic Zedd songs. Agreed on 'Issues' tho.


I doubt it. It's back in the top 10 on iTunes but its streaming is progressing way too slowly. It should at least out-peak HYD I imagine.

Posted by: Tinasha 14th April 2017, 04:41 PM

Possibly 14/15 I'd be happy with that at this point though.

Posted by: Tinasha 15th April 2017, 08:43 AM

Down to 39 on Spotify, but it looks like it would have climbed to #29 if it weren't for Kendrick.

Posted by: Defaze 15th April 2017, 08:56 AM

Getting a bit sick of the Spotify invasions, but I won't begrudge Kendrick since his album is genuinely fantastic. Good to see NMSS on the up, but I do wish it'd get a move on. It needs to outpeak LMLY on streaming at least.

Posted by: Jonjo 15th April 2017, 11:43 AM

FFS. It's even more frustrating because I swear it's always Little Mix who get the brunt of it! There's always SOMETHING!!

Posted by: shindymindy 16th April 2017, 06:53 AM

Up to 28 on Spotify
Finally above Touch (31)

Posted by: Tinasha 16th April 2017, 07:49 AM

That's with 5 Kendrick album tracks still ahead, too!

Posted by: Jonjo 16th April 2017, 09:26 AM

Glad that they've actually recovered decently! How close are they to the top 20, streams wise?

Posted by: Andrew♀ 16th April 2017, 03:55 PM

There's actually not much difference between them and #20 actually, they're on 188k and the #20 song is on 243k, so getting top 20 in the next week isn't unachievable

Posted by: BigMixer 16th April 2017, 11:07 PM

#JusticeForLittleMix is trending WW

Posted by: Jonjo 16th April 2017, 11:43 PM

YES!

It's amazing to see so much support for them!

They really should try one last time in the US, but this time, push the lead single AND album at the same time. Not months after!

Posted by: shindymindy 17th April 2017, 09:50 AM

UK Spotify:

#27(+1) Little Mix - No More Sad Songs (feat. MGK) {165,272 daily plays}

Posted by: Tinasha 18th April 2017, 08:39 AM

This is falling on airplay now, and it's surprisingly, their first song to miss the top 5 on airplay since Salute! It would have been nice to have one performance of this in the UK, as they've not been in the public eye much at all this year in the UK.

Posted by: Camer🐱n 18th April 2017, 10:04 AM

I'm disappointed. The DW tour is done now so I was hoping they would do a last minute push then they can have a month or so off to recover

Posted by: BigMixer 18th April 2017, 11:54 AM

Is there any chance they'll do Britain's Got Talent?

Posted by: Tinasha 18th April 2017, 12:18 PM

I think they might but by the time the lives are on, it'll be single 4 time, so more likely they will do Power.

Though it looks as they're touring during all of the live BGT dates.

Posted by: MrLoverboy 18th April 2017, 12:21 PM

Real shame though, but last era they basically didn't perform SLS or Hair either, so I'm guessing they'll take this route now. Though I really think they'll need one performance of Power to make it happen.

Posted by: Tinasha 18th April 2017, 12:34 PM

They did SLS on Graham though which is some of the biggest promo you can do around that time of year. All SLS would have needed as one performance.

Posted by: DiamondHeart 18th April 2017, 08:13 PM

Yeah the BGT Lives seem a bit too far away, maybe Live Lounge?

Posted by: Tinasha 19th April 2017, 08:11 AM

I'd love a Live Lounge, it's not really good in terms of promo but I just really miss them and want them to do one because they're always amazing.


NMSS was #16 in the mids yesterday, looks like Jason will overtake and it'll be #17 though.

Posted by: Defaze 19th April 2017, 12:41 PM

Damn. I must say, I'm a little gutted NMSS won't be the megahit it's destined to be. Although I suppose there's worse things in the world than being overshadowed by a huge, previous release. I just hope it doesn't deter them from choosing fan-favourites as singles in the future, as I'm almost certain 'Oops' would've performed better.

Posted by: pippa 19th April 2017, 04:11 PM

I had believed it would be safely in the top 15 but this is now unlikely to happen.

Posted by: Matt1989 19th April 2017, 05:43 PM

This doesn't deserve to be their joint lowest charting single but that's Syco/Columbia for you

Posted by: Tinasha 20th April 2017, 06:37 AM

24 on Spotify. New peak. Out-peaked LMLY at least.

Posted by: shindymindy 20th April 2017, 08:14 AM

Keep climbing please

Posted by: Tinasha 20th April 2017, 02:47 PM

Do we think it'll manage one more week on the R1 playlist tomorrow?

Posted by: Defaze 20th April 2017, 02:55 PM

Hopefully, given that they were one of the first announced Big Weekend acts, and they generally get more exposure. I wouldn't be surprised to see it removed though.

I'm surprised it's still climbing on Spotify, definitely thought it had stalled. It's holding up rather well on iTunes too. It's a shame it's so crowded at the moment; they'd be top 10 without all the surprise releases coming out of nowhere.

Posted by: Jonjo 20th April 2017, 03:47 PM

Now that they're no longer headlining, I'd say probably not.

Posted by: Court 20th April 2017, 11:03 PM

Still discounted which is nice but even the smallest little promo slot would be much appreciated at this point cause the song is pretty much stalling.
