Liking this on first listen, definitely very It's a Sin, but it's got some great synth production that sounds quite 90s. I do unfortunately think it's missing that really powerful chorus or crescendo that makes it stand out like Spaceman though which could possibly risk it blending it in, but a big improvement on last year so hopefully a better result x

Also think 'Dizzy' is great. Shame it didn't make it in to the top 40 today but should do in May anyway. Hopefully does okay in Eurovision. Wouldn't deserve last place or bottom 5!

Ya it was fairly close to making it aswell but ended up at 42 but it will easily go top 40 in a few weeks time.

Would have loved it to make it but like you say it will get there - there is prime time TV promo and then I’m sure remixes and physicals to come and of course, Eurovision.

#42 isn't bad for first week really - Mae debuted higher but she came off the back of Sam Ryder's huge success the previous year so was naturally more hype

The SNT performance sold the song a bit more to me.

The Big 5 countries and host (Sweden) will perform in the semis this year cheer.gif

I’ve always thought there was a disadvantage to the Big 5 not being in the semis so welcome this change.

Just heard the song and I think this is radio-friendly and the production is good. However, the chorus melody feels very flat and I don't find it memorable at all. I much prefer last year's entry tbh. I think this song will depend on the staging and vocals on the night, so hope they deliver! It's a solid 6/10 for me.

Apparently former Y&Y member Emre liked a comment someone put on that Instagram about the fact they should’ve stayed together and sorted out any differences.

I imagine he's not too happy at all his music being billed as "Olly Alexander (Years & Years)" on streaming platforms...

EDIT: I found the post, announcing that him & Mikey are making new music together.



A comment calling them "The real Years & Years" is also liked lol.

^^ I remember when the spilt happened and the posts the band members made, it all seemed like a bit of a surprise to them that the band had come to an end.

In terms of Olly’s streaming billing I’m sure he appreciates it’s a need, rather than starting off as a solo artist with 0 monthly listeners.
