This is currently #1 in USA, Canada and recently in New Zealand.

It is also climbing fast in Australia and all over Europe

 

How high do you think this New Zealand beauty will peak in the UK Chart?

This is the US video (IMO it's far better)

 

This is the European video

Top 5. For ages.

 

Although the track REALLY grates on me.

Have a feeling this will just miss out on no1. Will probably sell well enough.

#2.

 

James Arthur will beat her.

I want to say #1 but I really can't see her beating James. Something is srsly wrong with the UK public if she misses the top 2 though.

I think #1 now.

I'm hoping this beats James Arthur, but, sadly, I think it'll peak at number 2.

#1 or #2. I heard James Arthur's song, and I was shocked at how good it was. This would be a great top 2.

Its gonna be very interesting, I want to say #1 but James has the X Factor performance. Interestingly Lorde is now firmly ahead on pre-orders and is actually #1 on Irish Itunes which is sometimes a good indication. It'll be #2 at the lowest IMO either way.

This is good. Really good. Number 2 of the year so far for me (behind London Grammar's "Strong")

Almost snap. I think I'd probably currently say 'Royals' is my #1 song of the year followed by Chase & Status' 'Lost & Not Found' and then 'Strong' in 3rd.

#1

 

Why is Capital treating this as her DÉBUT release? Has everyone forgotten Tennis Courts? :/

 

'Now for Lorde's first ever single!'

 

No, Capital. She released Tennis Courts earlier this year when you were hammering those three instead.

Why would anyone remember it? How many plays did it receive nationally I wonder and where did it chart?

 

It might as well not have been released tbh. Saying '2nd single' would just confuse people...

R1 actually played it quite a bit, so it became my refuge away from the awful music at the time.

It made the INMWT list iirc, so you may have just been right-place-right-time to hear it; in the same sense you're just not there to hear Same Love...

Lorde is significantly higher than James Arthur on the pre-orders but have a feel James will just beat her :(

I think even if Lorde does chart behind James Arthur, she'll make #1 at some point.

I hope Lorde does outsell James Arthur, her song is a lot better than his. I think she will even if James beats her to the #1

I can see this beating James even with his XF performance. It'll certainly sell quite a bit more than him either way.

#2.

 

James Arthur will beat her.

AAAAAAAHHHHHHGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!! :puke2:

Number 2 behind James Arthur. :P
