Simple, but does the job perfectly. Beautiful! :D

she looks beautiful in the video, i really like it :-))

Best video she's done in ages, love how understated and simple it is. She looks lovely as well (obv.)!

This is back up to #3 on iTunes! :o Hopefully it can equal its #3 peak on the official chart, as it would be very unlikely if it overtook either of the top two.

I'm hooked on the live performance on Glasto, can't connect quite the same way with the studio version.

 

That intro with the crowd, "what goes around comes back around EH-EH my baby" = <3

This is now HUGE on UK radio! It's the most played song in the top three (3481 spins) and has a total audience of 58.77m, placing it third for the week. The music video has also increased in plays, rapidly, with 517 on UK TV the past week, placing it 7th.

 

Also, with sales of 46,172 this week, it climbs to #4 (just 412 sales behind #3), with total sales of 141,966. :D

So it's pretty much already sold more than 'Run the World (Girls)' then?! :o (Last time I saw, that was just over 130,000.)

Really glad it's doing so well.

It's almost top twenty combined, so we'll hopefully be seeing it top twenty, then top ten, on the Hot 100 very soon! :D

She'll also be performing on both The View and Late Night with Jimmy Fallon on Thursday, so that'll give her a good boost on iTunes, hopefully. ^_^

Late Night with Jimmy Fallon performance and interview.

A remix EP has been released to UK iTunes with this as its tracklist:

1. "Best Thing I Never Had" [Gareth Wyn Remix]
2. "Best Thing I Never Had" [Olli Collins & Fred Portelli Remix]
3. "Best Thing I Never Had" [billionaire Remix]
4. "Best Thing I Never Had" [Moguai Remix]

Is it worth buying? I've not heard any of those remixes as far as I know, but it is only £1.99 - and I haven't yet contributed an individual sale to it... I'll probably buy it later in the week :)

This week "Best Thing I Never Had" hit 1 million sales in the US.
