She's done several late night shows, performances throughout the country for the past couple months including big festivals, all over media from in-flight magazines to TIME and Entertainment Weekly. All over social media too.

 

I'm not worried about Hideaway yet -- things just take forever here. Sam Smith's big push began with SNL in March and Stay With Me probably still hasn't peaked. But it is remarkable to me that Smith and Kiesza have had to work their asses off promoting off of a huge push from their record companies... while Rather Be seems (thus far) to be climbing the charts purely on the strength of the song. Apparently no one can figure out who the hell sings it (there are a lot of people googling "Rihanna violin song 2014" :lol:)

 

"Rather Be" has been #1 on US Shazam for weeks, so you'd be right. :lol:

33. Hilary Duff - All About You

 

Hope that this can keep on rising, really love it! But have a feeling it will just do the same as Chasing The Sun.

When was the last time someone has three songs in the top 4?!

Perhaps Ed Sheeran during instant grat mania?

Adele had all of the top 3 for a while after the Grammys in 2012 IIRC.

Did't Taylor's entire album go top 20 in 2012? :lol:

Oh wow, Clean Bandit now to #5 :o

 

 

'Hideaway' is making good progress now :o Happy to see it not stalling as much. Clean Bandit could be a top 3 hit, maybe?

Clean Bandit now #4.

 

I'm stunned out how quickly this track is taking off around the world.

 

 

I thought it would end up being a bit like 'Latch' or 'Summer' where they slowly build and end up running out of steam as they scrape into the top 10, so seeing it top 5 on iTunes is amazing!
