May 13, 201411 yr This song is great and it gets better with every listen! I'm still very surprised how well it has done in the chart, but I'm glad it has done so well.
May 18, 201411 yr :cry: This is utterly stunning. I've never really paid attention to her past liking a few singles but this is SO cutting it hurts. I can fully understand it's wide appeal because it speaks volumes effortlessly with such simple lyrics. Ugh <3
May 18, 201411 yr I can fully understand it's wide appeal because it speaks volumes effortlessly with such simple lyrics. Ugh <3 Yeah, the lyrics are very powerful in their simplicity. I wonder if the success of the song (and it becoming Paloma's biggest hit) is slightly bittersweet for her given that she has a hand in writing the vast majority of her material, yet this is a Diane Warren song.

That's what I keep thinking. It must be annoying when, what's looking to be your most successful single, is the one song you haven't actually wrote! Kind of similar to a Burn situation (in the UK) but OLCHLT isn't exactly a drastic change in sound!
May 18, 201411 yr It's not like she has anything to prove, her last two albums she wrote a lot and they fared well, I'm sure she'll be reet.
May 18, 201411 yr I paid no attention to Paloma before this song really but now I think she's great and I've began listening to her older stuff too now thanks to OLCHLT

Ha, that's funny as I was thinking of it as being her 'Burn', although to a lesser degree and without any sell-out accusations :D. It's not like she has anything to prove, her last two albums she wrote a lot and they fared well, I'm sure she'll be reet. True, but it may be a minor annoyance for her - like a first world problem :P. Edited May 18, 201411 yr by Noahspike
May 19, 201411 yr I'm sure she more than makes up for it with the money she'd get from shifting the album though.
July 16, 201411 yr This jumped to #1 on Australian iTunes yesterday! :o Anyone know why, the rapid climb according to Kworb suggests it wasn't just due to an airplay increase.
July 16, 201411 yr It's featured on a TV ad, the same reason Florence's "Never Let Me Go" hit #3 in Australia 2 years ago.
July 16, 201411 yr Ah right, I assumed she might have performed on something but when I couldn't find anything about any performance it got me confused. Looks like it could go #1 officially there then if it's doing that well off the back of an advert!
July 16, 201411 yr I might have misread her Twitter but shes releasing Only Love Can Hurt Like This (or has already done so) in America as well!

Looks like it could go #1 officially there then if it's doing that well off the back of an advert! It won't be this week sadly. Our chart sales week is Friday-Thursday. Top 10 at best this week I'm guessing but I'm expecting between 12-15, should be top 20. If she keeps it up for a full week it should get #1.
July 16, 201411 yr Get that international success/recognition! It's about time. :cheer: Agreed - I think Can't Rely On You would have been a good lead as well given Pharrell produced/features, could help with a buzz!
July 16, 201411 yr So glad this is doing well other than in the UK! Would love for it to become a hit in the US as well, it was released yesterday there. Does anyone know if it made any impact on US iTunes?

July 19, 201410 yr I really like this song, they're a great group, I bought my mother her first 2 albums for X-Mas last year, and one of my faves from her is 30 Minute Love Affair
