The video is basically saying 'don't be a Charli XCX fan'.

The video is absolutely crazy, but absolutely amazing - surprised it has such a negative reaction as it's so different (but I guess anything this different is going to be polarising). It's a very unique take on pop culture and the digital world today, very clever video.

Agreed, I think it's a fabulous video. Not the best advertisement for the song or anything and it's a pity it's gone so unnoticed but I think it's both brilliant conceptually and excellently executed. Like it more than anything since her last album, honestly.

The video is very 'what the f*** is going on?' but I don't totally hate it.

 

Not a patch on "Doing It" though, that has the complete package for me.

What's the impact date for this? Radio 1 haven't playlisted and I can't see them snubbing right now because they always seem to promote artists performing at their big weekend.

 

She's performing the track on Chatty man on 15 May 2015 I think.

Loved the video, made me laugh a couple of times. It's nice to see something that reflects the world we live in today even if it was an exaggerated, zany form of it.

fantastic little video. a bit too out there for mainstream airplay, surely?

 

'Break The Rules' should've gotten a bigger push as a single

Playlisted on Radio 1 and Chatty Man performance next week.

 

Will this go top 40?

Is it actually playlisted by Radio 1? I can't see it anywhere :arrr: unless I'm just being blind.

Track of the day on Radio 1 today!

 

(Yes, it was added to the playlist yesterday)

What a terrible song and even worse video. A horror show all round, no pun intended.

Poor gal couldn't even get the song top 200 on iTunes with this performance. I didn't mind it - clearly half (or mostly?) mined though. Her outfit.

I can't believe this is playlisted by Radio 1, had good promotion (Alan Carr, MTV movie awards) and isn't even able to go top 200 on iTunes :( I hope this massive flop doesn't stop Radio 1 from ever touching her again!

I called it. What a waste of promotion and radio support. The song is just not single-worthy. You can't force ANYTHING down people's throats.

I need Ur Luv is so quirky and different too. And it's just sitting on the album.

Also, go to 0;48... The Audience are LOVING IT :unsure:

Hahahah I can hear the crickets over Charli's voice.

What an absolute mess of a performance and song, Quite rare for a decent promo slot to result in no iTunes movement.

Couldnt believe the Alan Carr thing. Such a mess, Kesha on speed wearing a cheap Elvis suit.

In all fairness, Alan Carr rarely has much of an effect on the chart! I remember The Vamps' Last Night having one dark green update following their performance and then nothing else lol.
