Iggy Azalea has confirmed that the next single from Reclassified is Trouble, featuring Jennifer Hudson! REALLY happy about this, it's such a fantastic, sassy track and I NEED a video for it.

ugh...me no like this.

Posted by: jsanta 22nd December 2014, 07:27 PM

Love this! So happy and upbeat, should've been lead single with heavy crown following.

Posted by: Jack 22nd December 2014, 08:01 PM

For some reason I see everything from Reclassified flopping. It should have never happened, it has put me off Iggy because it all just feels like a cheap cash in and sub par.

Posted by: Addy K!ng 22nd December 2014, 08:04 PM

THIS.

Also, with all the "racism" drama going on twitter, I see her career free falling from this point.

Posted by: December 22nd December 2014, 09:16 PM

I agree. Reclassified is so shit - not even a fraction of The New Classic's quality. I hope this isn't a sign of quality of her next album.

Posted by: Liаm 22nd December 2014, 09:25 PM

I think Reclassified is ok, it was just such a shoddy mess of a re-release. They could have at least just added the few new tracks and maybe a couple of remixes to a second disc alongside the original, rather than taking some of the worst tracks from the original album and adding the new tracks onto those. That or they could have just waited for the second album, I mean I love her but it's not as if new material was THAT much in demand really!

Plus if Beg For It wasn't a hit (it did ok in the US and Australia I guess, top 40), none of the new tracks have a chance so she may as well move on.

Posted by: CDC 29th December 2014, 01:26 AM

she *literally* could not have picked anything worse

Posted by: Davidson 29th December 2014, 01:49 PM

This is pretty awful isn't it. No thanks.

Posted by: JosephCarey 30th December 2014, 12:57 PM

Heavy Crown says hello.

Posted by: barbaric_dan 30th December 2014, 10:31 PM

I like it. I just wonder how it's gonna do.

I really think they shouldn't habe bothered with this re-release. They've clearly had no time to focus on it.

Posted by: TOXIC_AIR 31st December 2014, 07:10 AM

She needs to let go of this release, take a short break and release a new album.

Ooh wow Looking fantastic, Iggy always delivers on videos. This NEEDS to smash, it's so good

Posted by: Joe. 3rd February 2015, 09:37 AM

I just can't believe that after Fancy and Black Widow smashed so much worldwide that 'Beg For It' didn't even get properly picked up and flopped so bad(as did Reclassified). Her future is blurry for sure.

Posted by: JosephStyles 3rd February 2015, 09:42 AM

The lack of a Beg For It video was no doubt part of its flop here, I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't even sent to radio tbh, handled so poorly.

Posted by: JosephStyles 5th February 2015, 11:01 AM

Love

Very good, J-Hud on point with the sass too *.*

Posted by: April 5th February 2015, 05:23 PM

It still isn't growing for me. She's gone so downhill with the release of 'Reclassified' and its singles.

Posted by: Acoustic 5th February 2015, 06:52 PM

I don't like this song but Iggy always brings it with artwork. Sure the video will be great too.

Posted by: jmmc 5th February 2015, 07:42 PM

Loved that!!

Posted by: jmmc 18th February 2015, 01:21 AM

cute, but they better use the radio edit which is so much better for the real music video!!

Posted by: Jonjo 27th February 2015, 03:05 PM

Video is here!



Nice video. Not up to her past standards though. The song is still poo too. Nothing happens during it, at all.

Posted by: JosephStyles 27th February 2015, 03:52 PM

Ha, love that video! Not quite as good as Fancy or Black Widow but still a lot of fun and perfect for the track. The song is still FANTASTIC to my ears, although I prefer J-Hud's parts to Iggy's.

Posted by: jark 27th February 2015, 06:18 PM

Not a bad video (although clearly nothing on Fancy or Black Widow) and I do like the production and J Hud's hook, but Iggy's contributions here are complete trash and the whole exercise seems futile. Move on to the next album already!

Posted by: Dillan 27th February 2015, 07:33 PM

The song is just so boring.

Posted by: troylovesmusic 27th February 2015, 08:13 PM

I love the video the ending is hilarious I quite like the song as well I don't get the hate for it. I think I like Jennifer's parts more than Iggy's though .

Posted by: jmmc 4th March 2015, 03:55 PM

Another amazing video!!!

Posted by: jmmc 15th March 2015, 05:30 PM

this just went top 10 in Australia somehow

Posted by: JosephStyles 15th March 2015, 05:35 PM

good going! It'll go top 40 in the UK at the very least I think, it's just outside on iTunes. Impact date is 19th April so there's a while for airplay to build up. Really not sure whether radio will latch on or not, who knows what went on with Beg For It...

Posted by: jmmc 15th March 2015, 07:27 PM

its up to #81 on the main UK singles chart this week, the sales version isnt available for me yet

Posted by: JosephStyles 15th March 2015, 07:29 PM

Outpeaked Beg For It already

Posted by: JosephStyles 17th March 2015, 05:20 PM

Track of the Day on Radio 1! A very good sign that radio are back on board with her. Beg For It never really happened, guessing it got cancelled in the UK.

Posted by: *Tim 17th March 2015, 05:42 PM

yasss! I never expected this to be a hit for her but glad it's looking v likely. I wish the US would get on board more tho

Posted by: jmmc 17th March 2015, 06:39 PM

Yay!!

Posted by: jmmc 22nd March 2015, 09:05 PM

up to #52 on the official UK Singles Chart (#32 on the sales only version, #31 in Scotland) better than nothing :/ lol

I wonder if radios will still support (and if Radio 1 will playlist)

Posted by: JosephStyles 22nd March 2015, 09:06 PM

It's making good progress! I'm certain Radio 1 will support it, most likely this Wednesday

Posted by: Cameron 22nd March 2015, 09:22 PM

Capital played it today I heard it at work

Posted by: JosephStyles 22nd March 2015, 09:24 PM

Yasssss Capital *.* Hopefully that's a good sign of them playlisting it this week too Seriously stanning for this track right now.

Posted by: jmmc 25th March 2015, 09:28 PM

C-listed on Radio 1!

Posted by: *Tim 27th March 2015, 03:34 PM

This is currently in the top 30 on US iTunes, due to some viral video by Jack from Will & Grace (idk his actual name) And still rising fast.

She's also got iHeart Radio, Kids Choice Awards and American Idol coming up. I can see this going top 10 on iTunes at least, now we only need radio to catch on

Posted by: Liаm 27th March 2015, 03:45 PM

Omg Sean Hayes' impact *.*

It's officially Gold in Australia now!

Posted by: Kath ♡ 28th March 2015, 03:56 PM

As much as this by far her worst single, I'm happy this is looking to become a hit for her in the light of the undeserved mass hate she's been receiving as of late

Posted by: Dillan 28th March 2015, 03:58 PM

100% agree.

Posted by: JosephStyles 28th March 2015, 04:30 PM

This is my third favourite of her singles tbh

1. Fancy
2. Work
3. Trouble
4. Black Widow
5. Change Your Life
6. Bounce
7. Beg For It (got old quickly)

Posted by: Apricot 28th March 2015, 04:32 PM

This definitely one of her worst, her quality of music has crashed with Reclassified.

01. Change Your Life
02. Fancy
03. Black Widow
04. Work
05. Bounce
06. Beg For It
07. Trouble

The sooner she moves on to a new album, the better.

Posted by: mr_aly 28th March 2015, 04:35 PM

4 Work
5 Trouble
6 Bounce
7 Beg For It

BW is amazing but Work is definitely her strongest in rap terms

Posted by: Kath ♡ 28th March 2015, 04:47 PM

'Beg for It', as recycled as it is, is really underrated

She needs to lay off the features and put out some hard-hitting credible material along the lines of 'Work' and 'Goddess' to silence her hate brigade and win back her respect from the hip hop community

Posted by: Dillan 28th March 2015, 05:40 PM

1. Change Your Life
2. Fancy
3. Beg For It
4. Bounce
5. Work
6. Black Widow
7. Trouble

Posted by: SLlewellyn 28th March 2015, 06:42 PM

Finally got round to listening to "Trouble" and actually quite enjoyed it. I have gone off Iggy Azalea as a person completely, and won't be purchasing anything from her anytime in the near future (having bought "Work", "Bounce" and "Change Your Life"). This sure beats the awful "Fancy" though (controversial opinion, I know).

Posted by: Dobbo 28th March 2015, 08:34 PM

1. Work (she'll do extremely well to ever top this)
2. Fancy
3. Beg For It (agreed with the above, massively underrated & shame it didn't perform)
4. Change Your Life
5. Black Widow (good track, but got bored of it pretty quickly)
6. Trouble (hasn't hit me yet, need a few more listens)
7. Bounce (the only one I dislike, incredibly annoying)

Posted by: Jack 29th March 2015, 12:21 AM

I would say;

01 Work
02 Change Your Life
03 Fancy
04 Bounce
05 Trouble
06 Beg For It
07 Black Widow

Posted by: Jonjo 29th March 2015, 12:37 AM

She has stated in an interview that she wants to rely less on features for her new album. Whether that sticks or whether the label says otherwise, we'll have to wait and see. But I agree!

01. Change Your Life
02. Work
03. Black Widow
04. Fancy
05. Beg For It
06. Bounce >> Got old ridiculously quick for me. <<
07. Trouble

Posted by: JosephFriend 29th March 2015, 12:38 AM

Change Your Life sadly hasn't aged well for me I don't enjoy it quite as much when I listen now.

Posted by: Juranamo 29th March 2015, 12:39 AM

01 | Fancy ft Charli XCX
02 | Bounce
03 | Work
04 | Change Your Life ft T.I.
05 | Beg For It ft MØ
06 | Black Widow ft Rita Ora
07 | Trouble ft Jennifer Hudson

I like them all though, that is one phenomenal Top 4!

Posted by: Apricot 29th March 2015, 11:15 AM

Yass Jonjo! I was getting worried by all the Change Your Life hate until you popped up!

Trouble is decent, but I expected more from J-Hud. Their other collab He Ain't Goin' Nowhere is FAR better.

Posted by: jmmc 2nd April 2015, 12:30 PM

somehow it managed to debut on the Hot 100 this week so at least it didnt stay on the Bubbling Under

Posted by: JoeyXCX 15th April 2015, 04:54 PM

This has just gone top 10 on UK iTunes!!!

Posted by: Apricot 15th April 2015, 06:24 PM

Trouble is growing on me since that video of J-Hud and James Corden. The highlight of the song is definitely the chorus though, the verses are quite weak.

Posted by: Explozian 15th April 2015, 06:48 PM

I think that's a recurring theme, all of her big hits have rested on big, identical choruses sung by someone else.

She sounds like a featured artist on her own songs and that's a sin for a big, urban artist (well, "urban" as in she knows some black people). She should be spitting killer bars, getting in touch with her inner thug misses, DOMINATING the track, not relying on the feature. Her most famous lines are ones about owning slaves and impersonating characters from The Wild Thornberries.

(aside from Pu$$y which is absolutely lethal)

Posted by: Apricot 15th April 2015, 07:04 PM

THIS! She needs to take tips from Nicki. When Nicki raps on a song, lead or guest, it becomes her song. There's very few examples where it doesn't become about her (possibly "Only"). Iggy needs to work on her raps to make them more memorable and own the song. That's her main problem. The only time she's done that is...Problem.

Posted by: JoeyXCX 15th April 2015, 07:06 PM

I'd say Iggy owns Fancy? Everyone of course knows the hook really well but the "who dat who dat? I-G-G-Y" parts are just as remembered, plus the opening line.

Posted by: Explozian 15th April 2015, 07:23 PM

I suppose she's got a couple of decent lines in that one, they're just a bit brief.

I don't know if it's her poor diction or the mixing but she frequently seems submerged in the production, particularly on this new one. It leaves you waiting for the unclear, mumbly parts to end before the chorus. I want her to switch it up, her flow is quite samey. She sits under the beat, I don't feel like she WANTS to trash the hotel with Charli, nor get drunk on the minibus.

Posted by: Kath ♡ 15th April 2015, 07:35 PM

To be fair, Iggy's being watered down with features because 'Fancy' and 'Black Widow' are what made her breakout and what her label took notice of, hence the birth of 'Beg for It' and the reissue being dominated with features

She is a very capable rapper, I think songs like 'Goddess' and '100' showcase this and the majority of her mixtapes/EPs prior to TNC. I just think her label are afraid to give her room to shine on her own, especially in the light of the mass criticism she's been receiving lately with regard to her talent as perceived by the GP

Posted by: Cupid 15th April 2015, 09:17 PM

Not at all. She has all the memorable hooks from Fancy, in fact, Charli got trashed for her piss poor vocals on that track.

Black Widow i'd say was 50/50. Problem, Iggy totally owned that song. BFI, Iggy owned it once again.

Work remains one of her best and is a solo. Just because she's using pop girl features people look down on it like it's not as good, rap wise. It's elitist and kind of sad.

Anyway, Trouble's sales are around 40k right now, it's 34 in the mid-weeks. Should be getting a nice boost for Sunday.

Posted by: JoeyXCX 15th April 2015, 09:24 PM

Yeah I'd agree that Iggy totally owns Beg For It. MØ's vocals are nice but not too interesting. Iggy's verses are AMAZING though

Posted by: Cupid 15th April 2015, 09:38 PM

I felt so bad for her after that live performance (SNL?) when her vocals got torn apart and her awkward moves.

At least Lean On is becoming a hit for her.

BFI deserved a video and proper single treatment though, i'm still mad she let it flop.

Posted by: JoeyXCX 15th April 2015, 09:42 PM

I do wonder why there was no video for Beg For It, even if it got scrapped in the UK, it still went ahead in the US, could've helped it go top 10

Welcome to the forum btw! Nice to see another Iggy fan!

Posted by: Cupid 15th April 2015, 09:45 PM

Thanks! Been a fan since her mixtape days on Youtube.

I'm honestly shocked Trouble made it to the top 10 though. I don't really like the song much. But the viral videos have helped, apparently the J-Hud/Corden video has gone viral now too.

Also it's being added to Capital's playlist and Radio 1 A-List as of Monday.

Posted by: barbaric_dan 15th April 2015, 09:51 PM

I'm sure the Britney press is also helping

Posted by: Explozian 15th April 2015, 10:39 PM

If she really owned Fancy in her own right, then they wouldn't have released two carbon copies of it with featured artist, big choruses as follow-ups. She would have been allowed to stand alone, no feature. That she's been continually watered down into this odd mix of an edgy rapper that releases fun, cartoonish pop songs is testament to that.

Plenty of hip-hop artists have worked with female popstars and produced excellent songs, that's a total departure from my argument and I find that quite frustrating.

If I was in the mood to be elitist, I'd say that her awful freestyling and bizarre co-opting of Southern patois would preclude her from being a proper rap artist, not that.

Posted by: jmmc 17th April 2015, 03:50 PM

Reclassified is now #26 on iTunes UK too

Posted by: *Tim 17th April 2015, 03:50 PM

Isn't that higher than it has ever been

Posted by: jmmc 17th April 2015, 03:57 PM

Yea I think so

Posted by: JoeyXCX 17th April 2015, 04:11 PM

It was just outside the top 200 when I looked a couple of days ago too!

Posted by: jmmc 18th April 2015, 12:00 AM

Reclassified is #18 now and has a banner

Posted by: Joe. 18th April 2015, 12:12 AM

It's great to see Iggy getting a resurgence here after I was feeling a bit uncertain about her future. It'll be good to see Reclassified in the top 100 again on Sunday. Hopefully it can keep selling now that it has yet another hit off it. Such a shame it isn't a proper re-issue.

Posted by: jmmc 18th April 2015, 12:39 AM

The last (and only) time it charted on the top 100, IIRC musicweek(?) grouped its sales with The New Classic though right?

Posted by: Joe. 18th April 2015, 08:34 AM

Oh really? I thought rules meant they were separate albums.

Posted by: barbaric_dan 18th April 2015, 10:17 AM

Good for Iggy... but shame on the UK for being so stupid when it comes to buying music.

Posted by: JoeyXCX 18th April 2015, 11:06 AM

I'm fairly sure they count as separate albums!! ALL tracks from TNC would need to be on Reclassified to combine them.

Posted by: jmmc 18th April 2015, 12:25 PM

Same but I thought they had done that back when it charted on the top 100 over a month after its release cuz of this:


http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=173367

But it was just a statistical thing to report back then since the sales of Reclassified alone probably weren't relevant and won't count towards the same official certification (if she ever gets one for the album at this rate) anyway

Posted by: JoeyXCX 18th April 2015, 12:31 PM

I think the summary is incorrect! The 49k sales are solely for The New Classic I see the confusion though haha.

Posted by: burbe 18th April 2015, 09:21 PM

I really like this, another great single from her. She always delivers amazing videos too!

Posted by: jmmc 19th April 2015, 01:19 AM

Remixes now available: https://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/trouble-remixes-feat.-jennifer/id986592647

Posted by: jmmc 19th April 2015, 04:35 PM

ofc it misses the top 20 on the official uk singles chart by 1 spot then again a week ago I thought it would miss the top 40 altogether so not that bad in the end

Posted by: jmmc 26th April 2015, 06:19 PM

Reclassified spends another week on the official uk top 100 albums, Trouble up to #13 singles #2 r&b #9 scotland
lol if it didnt make the top 10 this week it prob wont make it now cuz streaming prob wont increase THAT much + new releases right? anyway still a good result, just wish TNC would get a certification but bring on Pretty Girls next week and the new album in the Summer!!

Posted by: JosephStyles 26th April 2015, 06:29 PM

Trouble should make it next week I'd think! Its sales are stable right now and its streaming is increasing quickly too, it's top 30 on Spotify right now!

Posted by: jmmc 26th April 2015, 06:49 PM

I almost want it to fall already so this era can finally end everywhere and avoid getting our hopes up again another week only for it to end up #12 or #11

Posted by: JosephStyles 26th April 2015, 06:55 PM

I know what you mean, #11 especially would be awful It's surpassing my expectations already though tbh, I didn't think it would trouble (no pun intended) the top 40 at all when first announced!

Posted by: jmmc 26th April 2015, 07:05 PM

Same, I thought it'd flop big time everywhere as in non-charting single at least it is Iggy's seventh UK top 20 hit now.

Posted by: JosephStyles 26th April 2015, 07:11 PM

Indeed! And it's matched Bounce's peak at least, so that's very good going when you put it like that. 6 top 20s out of the 6 UK singles from this era is a fantastic effort

Posted by: Joe. 26th April 2015, 07:23 PM

Really rather surprised that it isn't even top 10. It was 4/5 on iTunes pretty much all week. I knew streaming would cost it a place or two, but being as low as #13... I really think they need to adjust how much streaming effects the chart now, because it's starting to represent less and less what people are actually buying.

#7 sales, #41 streams.

Posted by: jmmc 26th April 2015, 07:32 PM

^idk how it fell to #13 from the Friday update, wasn't it #11? I know all those positions must be verryyy close but I thought this would get the edge considering it was the one actually improving significantly in comparison this week as you pointed out

Sacrilegious that it managed to outpeak the magnum opus Work though

Posted by: Jay ジ 27th April 2015, 01:44 PM

I don't think you can disregard Beg For It being a single in the UK? It was released as a digital single & has a remix EP. That seems very single-esque to me... :eyesemoji:

Posted by: JosephStyles 27th April 2015, 01:54 PM

I disregard it as a UK single because of radio - sure, radio can snub any single they want, but it's quite clear they do it on an artist-by-artist basis, and Beg For It followed two huge smashes as well as three further top 20s before that, they had no valid reason to snub her with Beg For It. Furthermore, they then playlisted Trouble, as high up as the a-list. The only explanation I can see for Beg For It being snubbed was its release being cancelled for whatever reason. Obviously it's hard to know the ins and outs of it all but I think if Radio 1 truly passed on Beg For It, they would have passed on Trouble too.

Posted by: mr_aly 27th April 2015, 02:01 PM

Plus 'Beg For It' never had a video.

Posted by: Joe. 27th April 2015, 02:01 PM

It was playlisted on 1Xtra and Capital Xtra though, so it's hard to tell...

Posted by: Jay ジ 27th April 2015, 02:07 PM

I just think that cancelling a release needs to involve actually cancelling the release? And it wasn't cancelled in that respect, it was widely available. They even went ahead and released remixes eventually.

Radio snubbing a song, I don't think that's an automatic case of "it's not a single then, because they've not playlisted it".

Also not having a video isn't grounds to dismiss something as not being a single either. Equally sometimes a song having a video doesn't make it a single.

It's all very arbitrary, but Beg For It was singled out for single treatment and was never dubbed Urban only/buzz/instant grat/album track cut only.

Posted by: jmmc 27th April 2015, 05:17 PM

I don't rly consider Beg For It an actual single outside North America either tbh, let alone a LEAD single of a new project at that.. maybe a promotional single for the reissue since it was available/did get a digital release. Reclassified had one of the weirdest and messiest campaigns ever, way to kill her momentum worldwide after Black Widow

Posted by: barbaric_dan 27th April 2015, 11:15 PM

BFI wasnt even sent to UK radio.

Posted by: Jay ジ 27th April 2015, 11:31 PM

Does UK radio really dictate that heavily what is a single and what isn't? Every song that isn't played/playlisted = not a single? Well, I'll take that definition if it means Girls Aloud - Beautiful 'Cause You Love Me wasn't a single after all.

It doesn't heavily dictate it but it's a very good indicator especially with Iggy. As I said, Radio 1 do not playlist a song on its own merit (despite what they say) and it's on the artist - they would not snub a single of Iggy's when they a-listed the ones either side. That to me is a clear indicator that it wasn't a UK single. If it really wasn't sent (which I can believe), then I'm even more certain.

Did that release itself not actually get cancelled, and its charting at #97 was due to a performance on CIN?

Posted by: Jay ジ 28th April 2015, 01:27 AM

I guess the CIN performance must have contributed to "awareness" of 'Beautiful 'Cause You Love Me' at least, although that performance did occur 10 days before the album actually came out, so it wasn't available to buy in the immediate aftermath.

It was a weird one, that song and what its status was supposed to be. The way it was handled was pretty much the opposite of any previous single they'd released. There never seemed to be any plans for it to have a physical or digital release, or even artwork. It didn't seem to get any radio exposure bar its premiere! The only factors that gave it a "single feel" was the music video & the fact that they performed it on more than one occasion. If it was ever a properly planned single that they decided to cancel, they certainly did that rather quietly. I wish there could have been some confirmation from any of the girls whether it was to be regarded as a single or not.

Re: 'Beg For It', I just think it's a bit of a "get out of jail free card" situation when a new single fails to ignite by a popular artist for whatever reason, and then fans declare it not to be a single at all because it wasn't playlisted? I'd hardly regard 'Beg For It' as being a "UK album track" and it's never been described as a buzz single / promotional track or whatever. It was just regarded as the new Iggy single at the time it was out. I'm not sure it can really be regarded as a cancelled single either, given that there's a digital single & digital EP available.

I really miss pre-downloads/pre-streams sometimes, when it was just 100% clear that a single was a single if there was a physical format in the shops... and sometimes particular singles by big artists flopped!

Anyway it doesn't really matter. Nothing is official or clear-cut about the situation; we can all regard Beg For It however we like, it's fine. Lady Gaga G.U.Y. and Jessie J Burnin' Up were singles!!!!

Just to make this thread vaguely on topic again (I apologise x)... 'Trouble' is such a grower. I really hope this is the week that it goes Top 10 in the UK.

What happened with BFI remains a mystery. It seems the logical story is that Mø wasn't comfortable with promoting the song further and Iggy and her team decided to halt the release.

#8 in the mids today!! Looking good for the top 10 this weekend

This sounds ok, but her older stuff is a bit better imo.

I like this but it is neither Iggy nor Jennifer's best. What I'm really annoyed about is how "Trouble" and "Go All Night" have become UK top 20 hits when JHUD failed to produce any hits here - I remember loving "Dangerous" and there was a collab with Iggy on there too, hopefully she'll try and push that now that this is looking to be a hit.

JHud's Iggy collab He Ain't Goin' Nowhere is immense, so funky Miles ahead of this Trouble imo.

An official UK Top 10 hit now!!

Posted by: JosephStyles 3rd May 2015, 05:38 PM

YASSSSSS!!! Delighted for that, been loving this since last November, so great to see a song blossom into a hit

Reclassified might re-peak this weekend (actually make the top 40?). Not only was it 99p yesterday (enough to get Charli XCX from out of the top 100 to #33 on Sunday), but it's also advertised as reduced on iTunes from last night, so it steadily rising up the chart again (currently #95). and obviously has the increasing relevance and airplay of Trouble as well as Britney buzz to back it up.

Any sales update for this? Has it gone Silver yet?

Posted by: Joe. 18th May 2015, 02:46 PM

It's on 191.5k, so will go silver this week.

Posted by: mr_aly 18th May 2015, 03:06 PM

I have tried with this song, but I just can't like it. It's clunky and jarring.

Posted by: joeefoster 18th May 2015, 03:06 PM

At least it's a certification, and for the SEVENTH single of an Album campaign, to get a certification is decent enough for her to end TNC+RC's album campaign. I believe Work, Fancy, Black Widow and Trouble would have all received certifications this era? I'm happy enough with that

Posted by: Joe. 20th May 2015, 03:00 PM

At this midweek stage Trouble is on 201k, so it's officially passed silver, and will be awarded it by the BPI on Friday

Posted by: JosephRomanyuta 20th May 2015, 03:06 PM

Fantastic news So delighted at how well this has done, I didn't expect it to even touch the top 40 at first, let alone go top 10!

Posted by: joeefoster 20th May 2015, 03:47 PM

I'll take a silver
