Posted by: JosephAvery 15th February 2019, 01:56 PM

I don't think it's unreasonable to have hoped a collaboration between Zedd and Katy Perry would get more airplay off the bat. Capital haven't touched it yet, disappointingly, and I'd have hoped R1 might have played it a little more.

Posted by: Bré 15th February 2019, 02:30 PM

Chico in the iTunes top 100 in 2019 *.*!

Lmao at Red Hot Chilli Pipers getting another iTunes $ma$h that isn't 'Auld Lang Syne'. Tom Walker still milking 'Leave A Light On' even as he is finally having a second proper hit

Posted by: lewistgreen 15th February 2019, 03:08 PM

R1 will only play a track on its A List 4 or 5 times a day though so for it to have 2 plays today already is pretty good going and it got a spin after release yesterday. They won’t snub it because they love Zedd and Katy. Kiss has also played it a few times today too.

Posted by: 365 15th February 2019, 03:26 PM

To be fair I didn't know it was played on the Breakfast show because that play wasn't registered on their last fm for some reason.

Is this confirmed to be the new single?

Yes it is

107. Clean Bandit & Ellie Goulding - Mama

I’m so confused, Ellie is releasing a new song on Friday so why are they pushing both songs?

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 16th February 2019, 11:45 AM

Would love this to go number 1 officially.

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 16th February 2019, 12:02 PM

I think probably because one is Clean Bandit's single, and one is hers.

Posted by: Cqmerqn 16th February 2019, 12:04 PM

97. Clean Bandit & Ellie Goulding - Mama

Posted by: WhoOdyssey 16th February 2019, 12:09 PM

And also Ellie's song is from the film Fighting With My Family, which is out in a couple of weeks.

Posted by: Bré 16th February 2019, 05:04 PM

How many film soundtracks has Ellie done now? I'm sure this is like the 4th or 5th

Posted by: Theonix 16th February 2019, 05:16 PM

This will be the fifth soundtrack single she's released, but she's had probably another 5 or 6 soundtrack appearances:

How Long Will I Love You
Beating Heart
Love Me Like You Do
Still Falling For You
Do You Remember

Posted by: Bjork 16th February 2019, 05:54 PM

but is the song from the soundtrack gonna be pushed as a single?
or it's just a random song included in a random soundtrack like Sia does every now and then?

Posted by: Theonix 16th February 2019, 06:03 PM

It's a single, it will be released alongside its music video on Friday

Posted by: 777666jason 16th February 2019, 06:47 PM

I'm sure she done more I think they are the ones that have been hits

Posted by: Cqmerqn 16th February 2019, 06:54 PM

Hence why he said she’s probably had another 5-6 soundtrack appearances

Posted by: Bré 16th February 2019, 06:56 PM

I forgot that 'How Long Will I Love You' was also a film soundtrack song (although IIRC it was on her album before that so this is 'only' her fourth new single made specifically for a film soundtrack, but that still seems like a very high number for an artist who hasn't been around that long in the grand scheme of things).

Posted by: 777666jason 16th February 2019, 07:06 PM

My bad , also just a quick Google search she released beating heart from divergent soundtrack and appears on 5 tracks on that album alone, it does feel like she on soundtrack to quite a few major releases

09. Cardi B & Bruno Mars - Please Me
19. Zedd & Katy Perry - 365

Posted by: Bjork 17th February 2019, 08:55 AM

disappointing iTunes performances for Cardi/Bruno and Katy/Zedd

in the US, Cardi/Bruno was #1 selling three times more than the rest

Posted by: ElectroBoy 17th February 2019, 09:26 AM

Hardly surprising given Cardi B (the lead artist) isn't as big here and Katy is coming off the back of an era that wasn't exactly well received. Although its early days for both songs

Posted by: lewistgreen 17th February 2019, 10:12 AM

Expecting another rise for Freya after her Sunday Brunch performance today

25. Freya Ridings - Lost Without You

Posted by: fans for hilson 17th February 2019, 10:18 AM

Wouldn’t say it’s that disappointing for Cardi considering it’s not on any radio playlists yet and she’s only had one top twenty single as a lead artist in the UK. Also worth noting it has continued to rise since Friday whereas other new releases have all fallen.

Posted by: lewistgreen 17th February 2019, 12:14 PM

Posted by: Bjork 17th February 2019, 01:54 PM

She performed You Mean the World to Me? That's an old songs of hers but wouldn't mind it as next single, there are some live versions of it available on Spotify and YT

Posted by: JosephAvery 17th February 2019, 01:55 PM

Lost Without You on the up *.*

Posted by: ElectroBoy 17th February 2019, 04:45 PM

I can’t see why she can’t move on. It’s peaked at 9; release something else

Posted by: Glenn 69 17th February 2019, 04:53 PM

She is doing. The new video for You Mean The World To Me is coming on 1st March

Shallow #7

Posted by: crihanna 19th February 2019, 10:56 PM

Little Mix's Think About Us is #50 & #51 on iTunes UK. #29 combined.

#89 (+46) on Spotify UK: 83,059 plays (+20,034) *New Peak*

Posted by: 365 19th February 2019, 10:58 PM

Nice to see things finally lining up for this. Sometimes all it takes is patience, even with the biggest acts (and messy single campaigns).

Posted by: crihanna 19th February 2019, 11:00 PM

Yes, you're right, i guess people were used to see Little Mix's singles smash straight away but Think About Us has proven to be a sleeper hit.

Up to #28 in today's midweek update, was #36 yesterday

Posted by: iain 20th February 2019, 09:03 AM

New P!nk Walk Me Home is no 20. I’m fascinated by how this campaign goes. Despite her being nearly 40 and having multiple albums, What About Us did decently on streaming and was playlisted on Radio 1. Curious how much longer she can avoid the “legacy” label.

Posted by: Bjork 20th February 2019, 09:08 AM

but What About Us did amazing cos of iTunes, Spotify is kinda responsible for the song not being #1

Posted by: Bjork 20th February 2019, 09:10 AM

where do you see Pink at #20? Just checked kworb and livepopbars and it's not there

Posted by: Whoody4Paramore 20th February 2019, 09:12 AM

Hopefully Pink goes top 20 or even top 10 officially after her Brits performance!

Posted by: iain 20th February 2019, 09:29 AM

On the actual iTunes chart.

Posted by: iain 20th February 2019, 09:36 AM

I seem to remember it went top 15 on Spotify and hung around for ages. Which is great for a female over 35 on their 7th album. I can’t really think of anybody else in the same position who has done as well on Spotify other than Sia and Nicki Minaj.

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 20th February 2019, 09:40 AM

'What About Us' actually went top 10 on Spotify.

It still massively irks me that 'Beautiful Trauma' wasn't added to HH, they totally sabotaged that.

Posted by: heysexy 20th February 2019, 09:44 AM

Yeah I remember WAU at number 5 on Spotify UK chart.


Beautiful Trauma was not playlisted at all. Such a shame. Catchy song and fun video

Pretty sure that's why it was released today.

Posted by: heysexy 20th February 2019, 10:07 AM

I hope this P!nk song does better on Spotify. It needs to be added to some playlists.


It’s a very catchy song!

Posted by: Whoody4Paramore 20th February 2019, 10:38 AM

P!nk up to 5!

Posted by: Bjork 20th February 2019, 10:52 AM

wow Pink flying up the charts, guess she will perform it tonight at the Brits, could get a huge lead on iTunes

Posted by: SevenSeize 20th February 2019, 10:57 AM

Walk Me Home sounds huge, liking it a bit more than the Beautiful Trauma singles already

Posted by: Bjork 20th February 2019, 11:13 AM

sounds like an album track from the last Mumfords Delta

P!nk is probably a strong contender for #1 next week, if Walk Me Home takes off, all it needs now to be on Streaming services as soon as.

Posted by: danG 20th February 2019, 10:21 PM

and Buzzjack collectively groans.

great to see a big boost for Calvin, won't be enough to push him to #1 officially but hopefully enough to reach a top 3 peak.

Are the performances being released anywhere (not that most are worth it)

Posted by: heysexy 20th February 2019, 11:16 PM

I love P!nk

Hope she continues to have top 10 hits for years to come.

Posted by: troylovesmusic 20th February 2019, 11:19 PM

YES Jorja her peformance was stunning so glad she won Best Female as well .

Posted by: Jordan Lee 20th February 2019, 11:27 PM

I had a feeling Jorja would’ve had a big boost. It helps that she was the least known performer amongst the GP so it would’ve been the first time many had heard Don’t Let Me Cry as many tracks performed have already been big selling hits.

Albums wise she’s #2! Highest she’s been since release week I think if ever! I know it peaked at #3 officially

Posted by: lewistgreen 20th February 2019, 11:36 PM

Jorja now up to #12, The 1975 at #29

Why does Pink continue to have hits 20 years on while Britney has not been relevant in 10 years? Same with Rihanna having hits?

Posted by: Jordan Lee 21st February 2019, 12:18 AM

Pink seems like she still loves what she does where as Britney doesn’t appear to have that spark in my opinion.
Plus Pink always does more promotion so you’re more aware of when she’s releasing and she can sell a live performance too.
Plus her best material always feels like it’s still to come. She got her biggest single in 2012, 6 albums in. She’s always the underdog. She’s also radio friendly and likeable and her appeal crosses over she doesn’t just appeal to one section of the market like Britney now does.

Rihanna had a similar start to Pink in terms of growing in success after her debut but Rihanna’s key to success is her versatility as she changes with each album and can feature on songs from artists of completely different genres.

Posted by: 365 21st February 2019, 12:18 AM

It’s been 20 years since Rihanna released music.

Mom we’re waiting.

Posted by: Bré 21st February 2019, 12:19 AM

Jorja has a great voice but god her songs past 'Blue Lights' have been deathly boring.

Lmao at the H.E.R. version of 'Thursday' still only languishing at #87 after the BRITs performance :') possibly the most pointless of these type of remixes to date.

Posted by: Moses 21st February 2019, 07:03 AM

"Blue Lights" is the dullest of them all for me Eugh. Like "The One" the most.

Posted by: SKOB 21st February 2019, 09:23 AM

Whoa, I totally expected TGS jumping into top 5 because This Is Me has done it when someone has basically just said the words on tv.

Posted by: sammy01 21st February 2019, 09:42 AM

Because Pink established herself as an artists rather than an industry puppet. She evolved and became a great live entertainer too. So there is still stock in her new music.

Britney is an aging label puppet and younger people would rather go for a younger puppet they relate too.

Posted by: sammy01 21st February 2019, 09:46 AM

The song is 16 months old and 16 months in the spotlight, it isn't like this is people's first exposure to it.

The Greatest Showman album will benefit most, it will get picked up again in supermarkets and people who haven't listened to it for a while will stream the album again.

Posted by: omrimayo 21st February 2019, 09:54 AM

Giant selling X5 of Ariana, if it was in the beginning of the week he would be number 1 on the chart I think.

Is Kworb down?

Posted by: Glenn 69 21st February 2019, 10:07 AM

It seems to be, yes

Posted by: Whoody4Paramore 21st February 2019, 10:30 AM

Any big releases tonight other than James Bay ft. Julia Michaels?

The Yungblud/Halsey video is releasing at 8pm tonight, so expect a boost for that.

Posted by: Whoody4Paramore 21st February 2019, 11:46 AM

18. The 1975 - Sincerity is Scary

Posted by: Nick F1 21st February 2019, 12:02 PM

That's coz Britney stopped to care for promotion since 2008.
She was still around with Femme Fatale era (2011)
Work Bitch was hit in some aspects and it's now one of hers signature '10 hits.
Scream & Shout was massive.

She has lost her success with Pretty Girls (deservedly) and with Glory era (2016) (undeservedly).

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 21st February 2019, 12:02 PM

Ya I think the same plus I prefer giant aswell.

Posted by: 777666jason 21st February 2019, 01:51 PM

This is me also connects more with the audience lyrically,

Posted by: RobBob 21st February 2019, 01:55 PM

I think Pink is just more commercially respected. Britney's music has always stayed in that "pop" realm which isn't always respected, but Pink has an edge to her where she can appeal to a Radio 1 and Radio 2 crowd which has allowed her to remain relevant in both younger and older age groups for a great amount of time. What About Us was a great example of her adapting to what is successful whilst keeping it classy and fundamentally Pink. Alternatively, she's able to drop a "Just Give Me A Reason", which is the type of song that will be big at any time because the UK in particular love a well performed piano ballad. So, I guess "vocal", not to shade Brit cos I love her, has to play into it too.

Posted by: 365 21st February 2019, 03:26 PM

^That's correct. Pink started off as a kind of "anti" Britney Spears, which always felt like something that more people could get on board with as it gives them they impression they're liking something anti-mainstream when it still very much is. And now she's kind of an artist that is seen as "authentic". She's known as a respectable vocalist/performer and doesn't make anything remotely daring so it's VERY easy for Heart FM listeners to get on board.

Posted by: Hadji 21st February 2019, 03:49 PM

It’s back up but it hasn’t updated

Posted by: 777666jason 21st February 2019, 05:27 PM

Because pink releases better music

Posted by: Zeebre12 21st February 2019, 05:32 PM

It's a wonder this was never pushed in the UK. It would probably have been big https://youtu.be/WRe1GWzhK-w
