Announcement at 10am tomorrow! It's not on Tom's album out next month, so I assume it's a track with Ella as the lead
I can't imagine at all how this will sound but I'm excited to hear it
I have a feeling this might be ‘Let’s Go Home Together’ that duet she did with James Arthur on his tour that didn’t get released. Tom’s maybe on the track now instead of James for some reason. The whole meeting in a pub thing makes me think that’s what this could be.
It is indeed Let's Go Home Together. Out next Friday
Looking forward to it!
What a bizarre choice, the song is ancient, Im sure I have the mp3 somewhere on my laptop from the time it liked like 5 years ago or something
But I rather Ella go the pop route than the dance route, which I feel is not her at all
The song has always had quite a lot of fan support so I guess they thought they’d give it a run.
Tom rather than James Arthur? Dunno if that helps it or not. I guess not as James is a bigger artist and his fans were already primed for him on this song.
James & Ella were both on Syco at the time weren't they? So it could be that - I'd much rather Tom anyway though
Here’s the Ella, James Arthur version if anyone is interested...
Performing on Graham Norton Show next Friday (19th)
I was kind of happy with her going down the dance route tbh
I really like the song and GN is great promo for it.
I like this. My only dislike is those stereotypical vocal stylistic choices that Tom makes. But other than that it's nice.
I'd be disappointed if this was a Tom single tbh, but for what it's worth it's decent enough! Hopefully it's a grower
I like this a lot!
A ‘proper’ duet with 2 great voices.
It’s gonna do really well!!
I went into this thinking it would be an upbeat number, disappointing really.
Sounds a bit like it's from the Ed Sheeran school of writing. It's fine and their voices sound good together but I'm not sure it's for me.
oh I do like it
Interestingly, James Arthur has a writing credit - I wonder if he's not on it because he's releasing his own lead single soon?
well all this time we've known James Arthur was a co-writer and they performed live together
so releasing them together was like the logical expectation
sure it's a label shenanigan if he's not on it but Tom Brennan is there instead
Perhaps James wanted more money to feature on it, as Ella's on Rudimental's label now rather than Syco
I suspect Ella’s team have wanted to release this for some time, but James/his label didn’t fancy it.
I actually prefer Tom here, James slurring style is beginning to grate on me tbh
Interesting what bounce they get from Graham Norton and then Sunday Brunch...
(It obviously suits an acoustic treatment more than her recent dance tracks).
I like Ella Henderson and think she deserves a lot more success than she has been getting. I also love Little Bit of Love by Tom Grennan... so I was up for this duet.
I think Ella sounds a bit like Anne-Marie in her bits, which I really doubt would be considered a compliment.
It's okay and all well and good... but it's nothing we haven't heard a few thousand times before so I don't think I'll be going back for more in a hurry.
I like this!
itunes number 1 now
Dream On Me was a million times better than this and deserved to be huge
Smashed that Graham Norton performance!
The song brings out both of their voices really well.
No. 1 iTunes, doing pretty well on AM and Spotify. Looking good !
Graham Norton performance and interview.
Well over 50% lead as iTunes #1, so it’s going to sit there for a few days.
As of yesterday #48 AM and #194 Spotify, hopefully that should improve a lot the next few days.
Any thoughts where this might chart next week? Top 100? Top 40 no chance??
I'm hoping at the least top 75.
At #17 in today's update - it could become Tom's first top 40 and Ella's first as a lead artist since 'Yours' in 2014!
Got to admit, I really do like this. Glad it looks like it's doing well so far. Always baffles me when some songs just take off and others float like a stone.
And #2 today on Big Top 40...
Spotify is usually Ella's downfall. And again it isn’t looking great atm.
I do think this song will push through though it seems to have a lot of momentum.
Right song at the right time and 2 really good vocalists.
I think the song will build in the coming g weeks and hopefully it can stay top 40 this week.
When I watched the Graham Norton performance I certainly got Fairytale of New York vibes,
which Graham Norton also picked up
i wonder how this will place her as it's looking to be her biggest solo hit since... like... 'yours' but she's signed to a dance label.
i'd love her to have some a really dance-pop solo song. 'dream on me' didn't quite grab me.
I definitely prefer both of last years efforts but I'm super glad to see Ella getting success any which way she can! So pleased for her, the song is cute, not sure if it's something I'd go back to lots, but I like it.
Its really good she is having success and her name has kept fairly active the last year or so which is good, hard to know what sound she will go with on her 2nd album if it ever happens.
So #26 in the chart today. I think we can assume this will chart top 40 this week!
Ella still seems to have major problems getting traction on Spotify. Dunno what this issue is.
All the other numbers seem very good.
Ya she is doing good everywhere but spotify which counts for the most, id love if it can stay top 30 but even for it go top 40 its great and hopefully it will climb in the week ahead.
Unlike her usual, Spotify have added this to the all important Hot Hits though so who knows?
It's only just been added though, they could well move it up if it grows.
Hopefully it can grow and i have a good feeling it will.
but it's already a very good start
especially if you consider than Dream of Me didn't even make the top 100 :/
It's a brill start.
Edit duplicate post
Music video out, it’s cute!
Really nice video which goes great with the song!
Full credit to Tom Grennan btw he does a great job in adding vocal interest and colour to this song.
I can see this ending up around 34 tomorrow which is still a very good start,
I think it might make #30.
Finally made Spotify top 200 at #192.
Let’s see what playlists it makes today...
it had already made the top 200 on Spotify on day 1
This is a brilliant track! I already prefer it to both Take Care of You (which was a grower but I do very much like) and Dream On Me (which I never cared too much for). Tom is a great fit on the track and far preferable to James Arthur.
I much prefer Tom he does a great job on this track, a really interesting voice. Can’t be doing with James Arthur’s slurring moody drawl. And his fans seem to be getting increasingly unpleasant. Tom has put up with quite a lot of nastiness with class.
James Arthur's fans on twitter have been quite odd for years :/ especially when Foals beat him a few years ago to #1
I immediately brushed this one off on first listen but it's actually a really sweet song. Their voices work really well together too.
D et lighted its managed top 30 officially.
No.1 on the Big Top 40 today!
Hopefully that might get it some more plays on Capital etc
I’ve not actually heard it on there yet but I have heard Tiesto The Business at least 100 times, or it feels like it...
31 in today's mids so hopefully it will be staying top 40 for a second week.
I think at this point it'll stabilise and start climbing, it's showing signs of being a big hit already.
The problem as per usual is the lack of Spotify support, it's on HH but at the bottom
also it was not doing well on Amazon, #500-ish last time someone posted
at least Apple is fully supporting it, #13 now, but Apple support is very volatile,
songs get full support one week, zero support the next week, and they disappear from Apple...
good thing also is in a couple weeks time, Tom's album drops so the song should benefit from that and get an album drop effect
I think it’s strangely not had that much radio play either, certainly not on BBC Radio 1 or 2. See it makes their playlists this week.
There seems to be a lot of love for the song out there but some of the corporates seem not to have embraced it.
Maybe either because of the play on ‘fcuk’ or the fact Tom has another successful song out and they dont want to playlist him twice.
It's probably because Ella's last couple of singles haven't set the charts alight and as a result they weren't desperate to playlist this one immediately. I'm sure it'll get full radio support before long, it's showing signs of being a big hit and it's clearly popular.
As for the not-swearing lyrics, I played it in the car to my mum the other day and she's not huge on swearing in songs, but she laughed at those lyrics. I don't think they'll be any issue at all, they've played worse and there's no actual bad language on this for there to be a problem.
Big Top 40 #1 for a 2nd week, Radio 2 Record of The Week, and into the top 100 on Spotify.
This still has some legs!
Streams dropped significantly in the latest update so a recovery is needed as the week progresses.
Radio 2 have A Listed this now, Steve Wright just played a horrible dance version of it though!
They sometimes do it on a Friday afternoon when trying to build for the weekend but it startled me as it never usually happens.
Good to see thats its still top 40 in the mids.
A few more positives.
#60 Spotify
#8 Apple Music
#7 and #87 iTunes
Chance of a new top 40 high ??
New peak of number 35 here in ireland this week.
New peak of number 29 here in Ireland this week
On Radio 1's playlist from today *.*
They are on the BBC One Show tonight and performed on BBC Radio 2 Zoe Ball this morning.
Should see a decent bounce.
Great to see some promo coming through and hopefully enough to get it top 15.
The One Show appearance has taken this to #1 on iTunes!
Nice start to its week especially after getting a new top 20 peak today.
Let’s Go Home Together now UK iTunes 1, 42, 116, 131.
Chapter 1 now #122 in album chart...
Some nice rises there.
I’m enjoying the ‘Stripped’ version as well.
Its good that its building its popularity, hopefully it can keep climbing and have a good chart run.
New peak of #3 on Apple Music!!!
Up to #15 on Amazon too.
this feels like a hit on iTunes but like... nowhere else? Is it doing well?
It’s predicted #8 on official chart this week, probably will end up at #12 or so...
Id love if it can go top 10 but even as it is its done well and im sure ella will be very happy with the ouctome, i have a feeling the annoying number 11 is imminent this week though.
This keeps on growing and growing after initially being very underwhelmed!
Ya it's a sleeper type hit I'm hoping that its popularity will grow and grow.
It is a very lovely little song and I’m always happy for Ella to score another hit
Great to see this jump to #13 this week. Hopefully it’ll go top 10 in the next week or two.
I was half disappointed with 13 as I was sure it would be number 11 but it's great it's still climbing and hopefully top 10 in the next week or 2. New peak in ireland aswell this week of number 27.
Bew peak of number 23 here in Ireland this week.
This needs to find its way into a top 10 placement.
New remix out this week;
The Madism remix is pretty good, it gives the song a bit more of a kick
Really like that remix, new peak this week in Ireland of number 20.
Will it just make UK #10 this week?
It might just slip out... fingers crossed.
It edges closer each week and maybe this week it will arrive at the Top 10.
Up to 3 on iTunes, its highest for a while.
I wonder if James is mad he gave up his part now it has become a hit while Medicine has failed to chart yet
I guess there's a possibility that Tom's name has allowed it to be playlisted more - as Little Bit of Love is also getting much more support than Medicine has
Finally top 10
New peak of number 18 in Ireland this week
This would be getting close to silver certification wouldn’t it?
Does anyone have the total sales so far please?
Ya it should be silver this week as I think up to last week its close to 190k.
New peak of number 17 in Ireland this week.
Well done Ella & Tom (& James). Such a great song!
New peak of number 16 in Ireland this week.
2 weeks of decline. Looks like ACR is going to hit soon. It’s had a good run.
Wonder if we’ll get a new single or album/EP announcement soon.
If they are doing it, now is the time.
New peak of Number 11 here in Ireland this week.
That’s great news.
It’s good to see that after all that time away she can still achieve a minor hit at least.
It's subjective obviously but I'd say that these days anything that makes the top 10 and sticks around in the top 40 at least until hitting ACR is worthy of being called a 'big hit'. It's a lot harder to make the top 10 than it used to be.
Thanks, true. Also without starting an artists war it might also be dependent on the artist in question.
All round this is a resounding success though. So glad to have Ella back.
I think for Ella this is a big hit and has plenty of life left in it yet.
Of course success anywhere is great but I think she needs to focus on the UK market and get a good run again, hopefully she can follow this up with another hit.
My fav song of this year so far.
The follow up single needs to be announced soon.
