August 15, 201410 yr This song has grown on me so much, definitely a grower. Absolutely LOVE it!!! :wub: :wub:
August 16, 201410 yr I'm so glad shes moved away from the X-Factor thing, I had no idea when I heard Ghost that she was from X-Factor. I don't think I've liked a female artist from X-Factor since Diana Vickers back in 2008? Same here, I had no idea she was from X-Factor. Outside of friends/social media I don't pay much attention to the X-Factor so I'm not really embroiled emotionally with a contestant. It's all about the post-X Factor releases for me. For me Leona Lewis, Diana Vickers, Ella :heart:, One Direction and JLS have really gone past the 'manufactured from a reality show' label with only the first 3 releasing anything of substance or power (IMO of course). Back to Glow. I feel a bit silly in asking this, but is anyone getting a Rihanna 'Princess of China' vibe, mostly from the 'Whooooah'. :P

Shes EASILY got the best voice out of the contestants from that year who've been in the public eye i.e. Arthur, Douglas and Union J (who I love :wub:) I just HOPE she becomes massive but not so massive she loses her originality/style/innocence, as I feel she comes across as quite genuine in radio talks etc!
August 17, 201410 yr Love this already! I really want it to go #1. Same! It's already on TV on Capital and Starz so hopefully pre-orders will improve as currently 812 according to LivePopBars!
August 17, 201410 yr Author The "weekend effect" will be making the iTunes fall more dramatic, but I'm sure it'll begin to climb into next week. If it's top 500 by the end of next week, top 300 the week after and then top 200 going into the final week of pre-orders then I think that'll give her a great chance of a top 5 and at the very least a top 10.
August 17, 201410 yr Ella and the label seem totally cool about things, so I guess they know they will get radio support and maybe have something TV wise.. As well as the festivals she is doing.... End of next week and things should be clearer...
August 22, 201410 yr This may sound weird and I am currently loving this song, but it feels more like a 3rd single. Something that should be the first post-album release and is released over Winter. I'm guessing though that the third single will be a ballad which she'll perform on the X Factor.

I'm guessing though that the third single will be a ballad which she'll perform on the X Factor. I think there is a timing issue, because Ghost is still strong and on UK playlists, Ella is out the country, there is a Ghost launch in the US soon and it's all being squeezed in before the album launch on September 22nd. It would, with hindsight, have been better to wait until after the album and launch a 2nd single just before her XFactor appearance.... But let's see have they manage Glow in the next few weeks, Ella and her team seem pretty cool about things..so maybe they have a few things up their sleeves(?)
August 24, 201410 yr Just heard this song - pleasantly surprised. I think it will do quite well but won't be as big as ghost though.
August 25, 201410 yr Author Ella is on BBC Breakfast tomorrow morning! According to Compare My Radio, neither BBC Radio 1 or Capital are playing this at all at the moment so hopefully once they do then it's pre-order will start making progress.
August 25, 201410 yr It's October 5th! Good decision imo, I was really worried about how hard it'd bomb being released in just a couple of weeks.
August 25, 201410 yr Relieved to hear it! But I'm guessing the album release will hinder it's chart position
August 25, 201410 yr Relieved to hear it! But I'm guessing the album release will hinder it's chart position That's pushed back as well :P It's October 13th now, still a week after the single.
August 25, 201410 yr It's October 5th! Good decision imo, I was really worried about how hard it'd bomb being released in just a couple of weeks. As am I but at the same time shes being stretched too thin. Promo tomorrow seems kinda pointless now as well if we have another month to go :lol: Relieved to hear it! But I'm guessing the album release will hinder it's chart position Probably, unless she whacks out excellent promo and Glow is supported in full!
August 25, 201410 yr And remember Ghost is going to adds in the US tomorrow... Expect her to be pulled over there for promo. Syco are stretching her too thin IMO, they should have focused on the UK first and fully establishing her here.
August 26, 201410 yr I had a feeling they'd push her releases back after the slow start on pre-order. It's a wise decision, imo.
August 26, 201410 yr Every time I listen to this, I'd love it to feature on the soundtrack for Mockingjay!
