I love this song so much. But after Oh No! (the most commercial song on the album) reach a disappointing #38. I really can't see this reaching top 40 at least unfortunately. :(

Why? She's the best pop act out there at the moment. Just "too indie" to make it big on charts, that's all.

 

You reckon that all acts without big hits should shelve their album campaigns?

Edited by SKOB

No - but she's already released 4 singles and this era has done its work.

 

I agree she is one of the most interesting pop acts at the moment but I'm more interested in what she's going to do next.

I agree that 5 singles are quite a lot but the album is not that old..Plus for me, she's relatively new. The first song I heard from her was Hollywood last winter. This project might still have lots of offer

Edited by SKOB

5 singles is not much considering the album was only released half a year ago.

I agree she should release another album already :kink:

 

But yeah i kind of haven't been listening to her for a couple of months now, and i fell in love with her at the end of 2008, which is like ages ago, i want new songs!

Good way to finish off the era for her I think, definatly would have been my choice for next single anyway.

 

It's a shame she hasnt had 3 #1's and sold million upon billions of albums as she deserved but the album sold in decent numbers anyway so it's not the end of the world completly for her.

She has a great fanbase already. Sure, the hype has helped but she also has the album to match it

 

Saw her gig on Sunday and she didn't perform any new material so probably there's not much of it yet.

Quite good. Would've preferred "Rootless" or "Guilty", but I never expected them to get a release.

 

And some people have said about this being the 5th single, which yes it is, and yes, is quite a lot, but isn't it only the 4th single while she's properly been known?

that single cover is great but this isn't the best of choices, I'd have preferred 'hermit the frog' or 'the outsider' but meh. after 'oh no!' flopped this probably won't do much good either. :(
SHAMPAIN :wub: One of the only songs on the album that I loved on 1st listen (a lot of them took time to grow) - it'll probably do nothing chart-wise, I'm just happy to see it finally getting a release!
How much has the album sold to date, anyway?

 

One or two weeks ago, the album wasn't even one of the top 40 biggest selling of the year. #40 had sold 137,200 this year, so somewhere below that, don't know the exact figure.

LOVE Shampain, my 2nd fave on FJ behind Obsessions!!!!!
