29. Oliver Heldens "Koala (Last All Night)" 30. Blonde "I Loved You" 41. The Weeknd "Earned It" 51. Gorgon City "Go All Night" 74. Echosmith "Cool Kids" 77. Years & Years "Desire" I'm keeping an eye on all of these - all were pushed down by the gift card effect/Christmas and are all rightfully making their way back up! |

I'm delighted to see Heroes not just sticking around the top 10 but in fact climbing up it! I genuinely thought this would do a Koala in its 2nd week but thankfully not.

'Last All Night (Koala)' has proven to be a massive grower for me, initially thought it was just a weaker version of 'Gecko (Overdrive)' but I'm only just starting to properly appreciate it in its own right. Hope it can manage a few more weeks in the top 40.

Why wasn't Love me Harder much bigger? It sounds like a smash hit, its a big hit in the US, was Ariana not meant to be the new it girl of the year? It seems like a big flop..

Really don't get the appeal of it. Pretty boring & dull with Weeknd doing his usual featuring performance and wailing all over the track. By no means as annoying as Problem but I'd rather not see it chart.

That Ariana Grande song is just a weaker Break Free is it not!? (both are terrible though).
Good to see Blonde, Gorgon City and Oliver Heldens climbing again, all deserve to stick around a bit longer. |

Break Free is an EDM song but Love me Harder is pop/R&B, I'd compare it to Lady Gaga's Do What U Want rather than anything of Ariana's! |

LOL Liam's right, they're not even slightly similar.

I agree actually (ignoring the Problem shade as that's by far and away her best for me), Love Me Harder has done absolutely nothing for me and I'm a big Ariana fan. It's a nice enough album track but I'd never have picked it as a single and I'm not at all shocked to see it looking to miss the top 40. |

I'm not really surprised at 'Love Me Harder' doing badly here, maybe wouldn't have expected it to miss the top 40 but it certainly doesn't sound like a big hit. Shame though as it's the best of the 3 singles so far.

Just because the Weeknd is on Love Me Harder, that doesn't make it a pop/R&B song! The instrumental is a standard dance-pop one, albeit slightly subtleer than Break Free. Not R&B though.

I have to disagree with you here, whether or not you consider it an R&B song 'Love Me Harder' sounds nothing at all like 'Break Free'. The latter is basically a Zedd song with Ariana's vocals (i.e. generic dance), while 'Love Me Harder' isn't particularly dancey at all. |

'Love Me Harder' is NOT dance/pop. I'd say electro-pop with a vague element of R&B, 'Do What U Want' is the accurate comparison.
It does pain me that it's not made the top 40, but it's sold alright considering? ('One Last Time' deserves to be a single more though) |

Electropop and dance-pop are practically the same thing.

I'll use the example of Wiley to explain. Heatwave and Can You Hear Me have different instrumentals, and subetly different genres (Can You Hear Me is electro-grime while Heatwave is dance-pop). However, most on here would argue they are practically the same and to me, Love Me Harder is just a weaker Break Free.
Not exactly the same, but close enough. |

They are completely different in terms of their tone, pace, feel, structure, vocal etc.
For a start 'Love Me Harder' is 99 BPM, 'Break Free' is 130 BPM... |

They do sound nothing alike (partly why I conversely love Break Free).
At least she's shown a fair bit of variety from her releases this album, catering to a wide variety of people's tastes. |

Love Me Harder is 100 bpm, so it's probably too slow to be a dance-pop song (usually they're about 110-130 bpm I think).
It doesn't really have the percussion patterns of R&B songs though (at least modern ones), although the same could be said of Adorn and Hold On We're Going Home, so I don't know. |
