April 29, 201510 yr I don't think there's anything to worry about with this, the KREAM remix doing well indicates that the demand IS there, to me! Top 10 seems a certainty to me, I'm pretty sure people are just holding out for the explicit version and don't want to preorder the whole EP (of course I'm more than prepared to eat my words, if it flops :lol:). Very pleased to see this up to the a list on radio 1 Ooh yay, thought I was the only one still confident this would smash :D Probably because I'd be very surprised if a highly accessible pop track (that's getting A-list airplay on R1 from next week) that is already a proven chart hit in the US just randomly underperformed here http://i.imgur.com/dH7KknT.gif All the above posts are somewhat a mild relief to my anxiety and stress surrounding this release. Though I'm still holding out for streaming to deny it from its true potential, I still think they've left the Spotify release too late
April 29, 201510 yr My opinion is that it's going to do well but it'll be a seemingly slow burner on iTunes, because there is going to be so many versions confusingly charting - the Clean remix, the explicit original cherry picked from the EP, and the Kream remix still all charting until one eventually pulls ahead - I assume the explicit off the EP, while the rest fall away.

April 29, 201510 yr They release all tracks on Spotify the day they're released, although I agree they really should do it earlier but it's just the way it is. :(

April 29, 201510 yr They release all tracks on Spotify the day they're released, although I agree they really should do it earlier but it's just the way it is. :( Meghan Trainor, Kygo etc have all benefited so well from being released in advance on Spotify, you'd think other record labels would have made notes

May 1, 201510 yr Kiss Fm have picked up 'Talking Body'. It's been played twice already today, hopefully this continues properly into next week.Â
May 1, 201510 yr Radio 1 have just replayed her full Live Lounge and I can't say I'm a big fan. I like the production but her voice isn't particularly strong so it just grated on me. I'm not a huge fan of hers anyway, she's yet to top or equal "Stay High".
May 1, 201510 yr Theo, have you heard Timebomb? If not you should, it's amazing and at least my second favourite song called Timebomb of the past few years. High praise!

May 1, 201510 yr 'Thousand Miles' is clearly the best. :wub: Although on the one hand it's a fairly standard pop ballad and if you're not a fan of her voice it may not appeal.
May 1, 201510 yr Currently performing this in the biggest late night show in The Netherlands. Getting ready for it to rise the iTunes chart! Edit: She'z not very good tonight tho oops Edited May 1, 201510 yr by *Tim

May 3, 201510 yr I've been really disappointed in her live performances since her vocal cord surgery. It's really hit and miss and more so miss these days. There's been few standouts, but the rest are weak and filled with bum notes. She was so good before and now... :cry: I don't know what happened. Maybe she came back too early.
May 4, 201510 yr This update has somewhat convinced me that TALKING GODY will go top 10 in the US http://atrl.net/forums/images/smilies/images/smilies/party.gif POP: 15 12 TOVE LO Talking Body 7824 6916 908 45.930 +172 Spins +137 Bullet +0.670 Audience HOT AC: 23 20 TOVE LO Talking Body 1423 1151 272 9.725 +54 Spins +38 Bullet +0.436 Audience RHYTHMIC: 31 30 TOVE LO Talking Body 839 778 61 2.563 +19 Spins +11 Bullet +0.133 Audience

If only she had the video views to help propel it. :( It would've made things so much easier. I do hope radio will be far more supportive from the get-go with her 3rd single, whatever it may be. I'm kinda hoping she'll change her mind still. I listened to "Timebomb" in the car the other day and I just couldn't blast it. I do like the song and it's definitely different from anything on the radio, but I think "Got Love" or "Not on Drugs" might be more "summer feel-good, listen with the windows down on a car trip" kind of songs. On the other hand, she's made good choices so far, so maybe I just need to trust her judgement on this. If she does go with "Timebomb" I hope the video they shot is better and more accessible.
