Posted January 11, 201015 yr New song from the lady who got a top 10 hit in 2008 with Sweet About Me. Shes back but is she only a one hit wonder? Personally I love the chorus a lot but the verses seem too complacated for me, I think will peak around #18. Watch the music video and the song here now! : Edited January 11, 201015 yr by trunkman
January 11, 201015 yr LOVE it and her but she doesn't strike me as the sort of artist who could have a successful long term career, so I'm going to predict a #20 hit for this with a chart run similar to Alphabeat's The Spell would love it to be a big top 5 hit though!
January 11, 201015 yr I don't understand the love for this around the net. It's okay, but it's on the wrong side of the 80's sound, and feels quite messy, imo ofc
January 11, 201015 yr Really could go either way, impossible to say until closer to the release date.
January 11, 201015 yr It depends if Gabriella Cilmi gets radio support. If 'On A Mission' was to be A-listed on Radio 1, for example, then that's a promising start. Is it just me ( :P ) or does she sound a tiny bit like Anastacia on this track? Just listened to the song and I think it's brilliant - definitely got potential to be a big chart hit. They should release a Wideboys Radio Edit too just to help bump sales up. ^_^ Cool looking video too which could also benefit from being played loads on the video channels. :D 'Sweet About Me' was used in a TV commercial iirc and was probably one of the reasons for its success after it was re-released about two months of its initial release.
January 11, 201015 yr Like others have said, If it gets as much airplay as "Sweet About Me" did (Which is unlikely) then it will probably do quite well :) Don't know if i like the song but sounds like a grower... the video is awesome mind
January 11, 201015 yr Thank f**k Cilmi is back :cheer: Love the song, love the video :D Fingers crossed top 10, hopefully top 5!
January 11, 201015 yr Its Ok, I dont think shes suited to this type of this music, it all sounds a bit messy I reckon top 10 as she seems to be getting bigger
January 11, 201015 yr Maybe top 10, but sweet about me was amazing and that didn't manage to sell that well. It was the most played song of last year though :)

January 11, 201015 yr ^It peaked at number 6 three months after release though, and that was because of the ads (can't remember what they were) it was used for!
January 11, 201015 yr SAM with a peak of #6 has current total of 317,902. Song never burnt out on me :D Ditto. The whole album is still as stunning now as it was when i first bought it. The Live and Acoustic EP on my Aussie special edition gave it a total new lease of life for me. ^It peaked at number 6 three months after release though, and that was because of the ads (can't remember what they were) it was used for! Sure upside down deodorant.
January 12, 201015 yr New song from the lady who got a top 10 hit in 2008 with Sweet About Me. Shes back but is she only a one hit wonder? Given she's already had 3 top 40 hits, that cannot apply... :P Personally I love the chorus a lot but the verses seem too complacated for me, I think will peak around #18. I like this a lot, but it is very similar to a lot of other stuff around ATM, so may struggle for airplay. If it *does* get radio support, I can see it going T10 - though I hope it can go much higher! :)
