The Wanted have been asked to do the official Comic Relief single this year and are releasing a brand new song, not from their self-titled debut album, called 'Gold Forever'. I honestly think it is the best thing they have done and clicked with me instantly. I think this could easily become a #1 due to it being their best song to date, being a brand new song and also being for Comic Relief. What do you guys think?

 

Heres the new single to help you decide:

 

I think number 1, I know the Saturdays never managed it- but they have a far bigger, plus the songs original- so that will probably work in its favour

 

I am starting to really like this ^_^

Number 1

LOL at the predictableness of this. I said that they'd be doing the Comic Relief single on this board like back in December, though anyone with any clue about it could have said that it was THAT predictable.

 

Honestly, why is it always boybands and girlbands who do the Comic Relief single? Are they really the only acts who want to do it? (I find that hard to believe, frankly). Someone should tell them there's more to British pop than this crap. At least Children in Need is a BIT more varied at times.

 

And the song is utter cheesy dreck. #1 and then a quick exit.

With it being a charity single, and them having a big fan-base, with a new original song that isn't on the debut album, and it will have lots of promo & airplay, I'd be surprised if it wasn't #1.

 

After a few listens it's really growing on me, but it isn't quite their best single imo.

Big fan base and Comic Relief---> Number 1

It's very good. I think this will go to #1. Comic relief, The Wanted and the fact that it's a good song will all help it.

Top 3 deffo

This is not my favourite song of theirs to be honest. Its ok but I still prefer "lose my mind" and "heart vacancy". It will do fairly well due to it being Children in Need song and being a brand new track.

Its not as good as lose my mind but its better than their other ones, number 1 i think,

So this year's Comic Relief single is a completely normal and bland song from a completely normal and bland boyband? Where's the 'comic' bit? Or is that still in Peter Kay's hands?

 

At least make it a comedy duet with Cliff Richard or something.

Its all a bit All Time Low part 2.

 

Just because it's a charity single I'll say #1, but the song is bland as hell.

Love this. I'm really not getting the hate towards it, at all. Comic Relief songs can't win. When they are light hearted and "funny" ('500 Miles', 'Amarillo', 'Just Can't Get Enough' etc...) they get abuse for being cheap and tacky and "unfunny". But when there's a genuinely good song, that'd be a hit without Comic Relief, it's "OMG. This song is AWFUL!". I think it's genuinely the first Comic Relief single I love, since Spice Girls 'Who Do You Think You Are?'.

 

The Saturdays not going to number 1 was just unlucky, because Flo Rida was so huge with 'Right Round' and managed to pip them. But 'Just Can't Get Enough' sold more in it's debut week than 'Walk This Way' by Girls Aloud vs. Sugababes did to reach number 1 back in 2007.

 

I really hope this is number 1 for the song and Comic Relief and manages to sell pretty strongly. - They should have released it today though and impacted on the whole "purchase when premiered" thing is going strong.

I just don't understand why it's ALWAYS a boyband or a girlband. Before the Spice Girls in 1997, it was actually quite varied rather than the same type of act all the time. But since then it's like they saw how successful the Spice Girls one was and keep trying to repeat it. And obviously it worked for a while, as Boyzone and Westlife were also huge. But they need to realise that it was because those acts were so huge (at the time) that those sold so well. Bringing in second string girlbands and boybands really isn't going to repeat the same trick. I would have liked to see someone like Tinie Tempah doing it this year, would have been much more interesting and different, and would have sold a lot more than this dull effort by The Wanted. If they get a bigger pop act and couple it with a half decent song they will sell more, which is only a good thing at the end of the day, right?!

 

And personally, I prefer them when they're funny. Although, pardon me, I didn't realise The Saturdays one was supposed to be humourous? :unsure:

The song was boring, but it became AMAZING (like, ACTUALLY AMAZING) after 1:18!!

 

It should do well. It'll get a lot of promotion, it's a charity song, and it's quite good.

:lol: On the other hand, it clearly wasn't meant to be completely serious! :lol: I did love it though, as a song. :wub: Better than the original version, imo, although I like both.

I voted #1 *only* because it's the Comic Relief single - OTOH, I *want* it to miss the T40 altogether!

the song is so boring, its reallly slow at the beginning, and then it goes fast and you're getting into it, then it finishes. it will only be number one because it is for comic relief, but it will probably quickly drop
