April 18, 201510 yr I really hope she promotes 'Talking Body' in the UK. It needs to be a top 10 smash!
April 18, 201510 yr I can't see on any level how 'Not On Drugs' has more hit potential than this, it's nowhere near as catchy/hooky and is pretty clunky, the chorus is pretty much a non-event. The verses are nice though I guess. Edited April 18, 201510 yr by mr_aly
April 19, 201510 yr ^ Cheers for posting that, Kath! Very nice cover. :wub:  I can't see on any level how 'Not On Drugs' has more hit potential than this, it's nowhere near as catchy/hooky and is pretty clunky, the chorus is pretty much a non-event. The verses are nice though I guess. Whaaaaaaaat?! I love the entire song but the chorus is outstanding - one of the most impactful of recent months for me! And although I slightly prefer 'Not On Drugs', I find it interesting to see people differentiate so much between it and 'Talking Body' as to me they have quite similar appeal and both have considerable hit potential (though I'd agree 'Talking Body' has more obvious and catchy hooks).
April 19, 201510 yr Love that cover, Kath! I agree with Noah that the chorus of 'Not On Drugs' is massive, great to dance to. But I like both songs almost equally now. Ideally 'Taking Body' becomes a hit and then 'Not On Drugs' is properly released afterwards and is also a hit. Edited April 19, 201510 yr by Joe.
April 20, 201510 yr I feel like Not On Drugs was much more instant but wore off rather quickly while Talking Body was a grower and continues growing! I don't see them pushing Not On Drugs at all since it was cancelled. I'm hoping we get My Gun, Moments or Thousand Miles :wub: The Talking Body UK pre-order isn't looking too promising though, I'm guessing it'll be pushed back?
April 20, 201510 yr Haven't listened to the album too much but "Moments" has come on shuffle a few times and it sounds great in its own right. Very single-worthy imo

That first sentence is exactly how i feel. 'Not On Drugs' was instantly huge for me, whereas this took its time to grow on me and has since peaked higher than anything she has ever done perhaps. It's STILL growing too i think lol. And i wouldn't worry too much about the pre-order - it's hard to judge how it is doing because of the EP/album chart thing, and i doubt anyone wants a censored version of it so i am not surprised that isn't doing brilliantly.
April 20, 201510 yr Not on Drugs isn't instant at all and it's not really a grower either. It's just a good album track which never should've been a single.

April 22, 201510 yr I absolutely love 'Not On Drugs' but 'Talking Body' has always been the obvious single in my eyes. :thinking:
April 22, 201510 yr The remix EP has been released on iTunes too, I particularly like the KREAM remix(already charting at #300), but will wait until the 3rd of May to buy it. It's all a bit of a mess, they need to put the normal version up for pre-order on its own.
April 23, 201510 yr Live Lounge announced for next Thursday, so it means she's in the UK for promo. Hopefully she'll do Norton or Alan, too.
April 23, 201510 yr Hot 100: #18 (+6) Radio Songs: 29 (+10) Digital Songs: 15 (+3) OnDemand Songs: 16 (+5) Streaming Songs: 31 (+13)Â All new peaks, total US digital sales - 510k (63k last week) :cheer:Â Live Lounge announced for next Thursday, so it means she's in the UK for promo. Hopefully she'll do Norton or Alan, too. Oof that's a very good sign, so glad she will be taking interest in the UK after all. If only they could sort the pre-order mess out, is the actual song available on Spotify in the UK does anyone know? ;o Edited April 23, 201510 yr by Kath ♡
April 23, 201510 yr Wait, how is the remix EP on iTunes already? What kind of cba random release strategy? I feel like I could bite my tongue right now

April 23, 201510 yr I'm fully bracing myself for this to do a 'Break The Rules' now due to the multiple cock-ups. :(
