Calum, it's just a debate, nothing wrong with that :P

 

I think she's a lot more well known here than your giving her credit for personally I think the problem is just her songs need to be supported more by radio over here and she needs to do a bit of promo here than she will be fine.

 

I think if she were that well known, The Way would've gone top 40 and the other singles would've all done better IMO. It's the radio and TV airplay that will increase how much she's known. Don't get me wrong, she's not a fanbase act quite in the way that Cody is, and The Way turned out to be quite a decent sized hit considering its peak, but I definitely think Iggy's helping generate some interest in this song, she's quite a big name after all.

Calum, it's just a debate, nothing wrong with that :P

How many times does it need to be covered though? :lol:

 

I don't think either of them are particularly advantageous in helping this song be as big as it can be. Ariana clearly has a massive following and there's UK fans screaming out for it (and at the same time she'll probably get a few casual sales). Iggy's had a fluke top 5 single, so the only way she's really helping 'Problem' is by having people who will go "oh it's her that did 'Fancy', will it be as good? probably not, but I'll give it a listen"

How is it a fluke Top 5 single if it is holding up very well? :P

Precisely. :lol:

 

I'm liking this discussion people! Keep it going. :kink:

I literally can't believe how incredible this is — possibly my pop song of the year as of right now

Fancy was far from a fluke, lol, it's looking to re-enter the top 10 this week, and has gone no lower than #11 in three weeks so far. If it were a fluke, it would have plummeted a la Bounce and Change Your Life. Work was also quite a hit for her anyway, and it remains her highest seller, so I'm not exactly sure why you don't think she has some kind of fanbase, Calum.

Iggy's actually had two top 10s, and two further top 20s. Sure they were hardly million sellers but Work head up well and Fancy looks like it will do the same. Far from a "fluke". She's not exactly One Direction or Rihanna as far as fanbases go of course but she's building a following, her fans are more likely to be interested in songs with her on them.

You see in the US I think "Problem" is making "Fancy" a bigger hit on iTunes. People are checking that out because they like her on "Problem" and the video for "Fancy" is pretty amazing.

 

There is no doubt in my mind her fan base has increased since "The Way" was first released here in the UK. But I'm gonna say it again... her fan-only free secret gig was an absolute mess. Everyone that was there got in with no problems asked.

This is Baby One More Time big, isn't it?

 

Tune.

this is going to be an absolute MONSTER of a hit. global number one in 20+ countries i suspect.

 

i really rather love it too

Absolutely appalling. You'd think that this was the next big thing based on hype alone, but all I can remember from a few listens are those dreadful horns.

Edited April 30, 201411 yr by THE GRIFF

I was always under the impression that more people knew Iggy but more people were fans of Ariana due to the TWEENS

I absolutely ADORE this. Give me any song with horns in it and I'm pretty much all over it, but this is superb. So instantly memorable, I do agree that you can't really understand a word she's saying but I don't really mind. LOVE.

""I am growing up and coming into my own, but I don't feel the need to do anything too outrageous to convey it you know?" she added. "I want to let my music speak for me. I'm still me, I'm just coming into my adulthood and I'm proud of how I'm doing it too," she wrote, concluding her e-mail with a text smiley face."

The song is GRANDE indeed *.*

This is incredible. On repeat. Those HORNS. That WHISPERING. IGGY. Wow.

The lyric video Jake mentioned above is now available on YouTube also:

 

Bit of a jam. :music:

the whispers and horn section MAKE this, much better song than 'The Way' (which is the only thing i'd heard from her before this). certain to be a #1 hit over here

 

This must be #1 here, it's BRILLIANT :cheer:
