October 6, 201212 yr 11-20 i'd say. It's good but not as great as everyone is making out, and it certainly won't be remembered as a Christina classic.
October 6, 201212 yr Absolutely LOVE it and it deserves #1, but I can't see it not doing a Big Hoops to be honest :( Hope I'm wrong though!
October 6, 201212 yr As for the whole "released too late" debate, Ke$ha 'We R Who We R' was released in the UK exactly three months after it was released in every other country. Still made it to no. 1 here though. Yes. People make the same argument with heldback releases over and over again and time after time they are proven wrong. Being heldback won't hurt this at all, just like it didn't hurt Call My Name or Payphone or any of the massive heldback hits of the last few years.

Being heldback won't hurt this at all, just like it didn't hurt Call My Name or Payphone or any of the massive heldback hits of the last few years. As this is not measurable, we don't know this eactly if those hits would have sold more or not, so I agree it is hard to argue with that. But the thing with Christina is, that it looks like she's not that releavent anymore, not much promotion for her or for her song so I think a hold back release isn't favourable for her.

In a quiet week (although sold 90k in week 1 so that's not that bad) and dropped like a stone, the sales of the song was one of the worst for a number 1 last year (so maybe not the best example) :heehee:
October 7, 201212 yr You never know, Radio 1 might just surprise everyone and playlist it next week. It's unlikely I know, but stranger things have happened...
October 7, 201212 yr I don't feel it's gonna stand out as a huge memorable hit but I do like it. It's also a million times better than the underwhelming and awful NMT too. I predict low top 10 as there's hardly any hype around her anymore. Edited October 7, 201212 yr by Rob Summers

October 15, 201212 yr With a bit of luck I think she'd manage a Top10. (Though I really love the song and think she deserves a #1.)
October 15, 201212 yr I think Christina will flop. Most artists have a limited shelf life and she hasn't been big for some time now.
