July 15, 201510 yr Think I'm actually getting behind this being a big hit. It just feels odd because, although I've never disliked it, it just feels like such an internet/forum favourite that would never, ever usually smash and sounds like something for Eurovision (giving me HUGE 'A Million Voices' vibes!) which people tend to look down upon! So to see it's likely to garner radio support and be a top 10 hit here in the UK, is baffling. Nice, but baffling. The build throughout the song is SO good, ridiculously empowering!
July 17, 201510 yr So as this is starting to drop down everywhere, we still haven't had a UK release.
July 19, 201510 yr It's released on the 7th August, it's been pushed back twice. I'm guessing if Radio 1 playlist 'Fight Song' next week it could go top 20 overall which is rather impressive. 'Fight Song' has done incredibly well worldwide. It's peaked #2 in Australia, #10 in Canada (It will get a new peak in Canada next week), #8 in New Zealand, and #8 in USA and will no doubt climb top #6 next week. If she climbs in the Billboard the more airplay it will get in the UK.
August 6, 20159 yr UK release after being pushed back to July 31st, August 7th is now August 21st. Are the UK ever going to f***ing get this.

It's clever by her management though, it's ensured that the song has rather good pre-orders and able to build up more airplay. It's been moved up to B-list with over two weeks before the release. It will be A-listed by both Radio 1 and Radio 2 next week what is rather positive news. 118. Rachel Platten - Fight Song it seems like this is going to be a top 5 smash now and it wouldn't surprise me if Capital randomly supported it within the next two weeks.

This has been out everywhere else since May. It has smashed worldwide, the UK could have had this by now.
August 7, 20159 yr Yeah it is incredibly annoying. I'd rather she got a top 10 hit rather than miss the top 40, it's one of my favourite songs of the year (even though I heard it in December in PLL)
August 9, 20159 yr This has finally properly clicked with me, don't know why it took so long seeing as it's the sort of thing I usually lap up instantly. She should re-release 1,000 Ships as the follow up, it still sounds pretty fresh, in the same sort of way that Carly Rae Jepsen sounds fresh in 2K15 anyway.
