All these labels need to look at tracks like Lean On & Where Are U Now, no stupid release date, none of this heldback nonsense, just released & left to naturally build up steam.

Come on walk the moon. Leona lewis has a faded star reputation and needs her songs to succeed in week 1. Otherwise i would fear critics would label her a failure

I totally agree. It shows that on air/on sale can work when handled correctly. Labels put too much importance on holding back until they feel they can get the best possible peak position. If they want to reduce piracy then making these songs available as soon as people can hear them is the best way forward (some people would still illegally download anyway but those aren't the people OA/OS are targeting).

 

Leona #45 now!! :cheer: Keep climbing, hopefully it can be top 30 on iTunes by the time of her performance later tonight.

29. Zedd feat Selena Gomez - I Want You To Know ! .... Shocked it's currently the highest of the newbies!!!

So happy Zeddlena is the highest song so far :wub: So much better than that Rixton torture and I'm also not a fan of that walk the moon track.

 

to 27 now

Leona 41

Leona's song actually sounds like a hit, shame it won't be one at all :(. I really thought she could have had a turnaround with this single.

Zeddelena could hopefully pick up some airplay this week. One of my favourite tracks of the year by a mile. It is clearly showing itself to be popular being the highest new release, Zedd doesn't exactly have a die hard fanbase and it's had 0 support.

 

Leona I hope clinches the top 40 somehow, but I can see it free falling from tomorrow when the performance and fan buys wear off.

That's UK radio for you. Luckily she is signed to Def Jam in the US and it's just been released there so maybe they'll focus on the States since the world follows what's big in America.

 

Still, #41 at this time of day is still pretty good - and that's before the Palladium where she should enjoy at least a slight boost.

Top 40!

I'm only here for Leona and nobody else..By far the biggest british voice!!!

Based off how the pre-order has performed so far I wasn't expecting it to be this 'high' at this point in the day. It is a promising start at least.

Desperately want Leona to hit big with this comeback. She needs to rebuild her reputation a little. I absolutely love Fire and thought from the first time I heard it that it sounded like a smash.

 

I'm pleasantly surprised it's made it to top 40 actually as the preorder performance didn't suggest there was much interest at all. Hopefully it can climb a bit further so any boost it does get tonight will be meaningful. Top 10 is certainly out of the question though, sadly.

Am I alone in finding Leona's new single utterly dire then? :( she's had some amazing tunes in the past, but this, no.

I've been a bit disappointed by it, it's a bit one note as a song for me. I still think she sounds amazing on it and want it to do well for her career's sake though, as I'm sure she has more up her sleeve.

Have you heard this though?

 

 

I play it more than the original. :lol:

Really hope 'Walk The Moon' becomes a decent sized hit that stays around - Leona and Rixton will flop or certainly not perform as expected and streaming will hinder both of them - Not seen any promo for Leona? Does she have anything planned?

To the person who keeps stating that Zedd's new single is getting zero support, I can tell you having had the 'pleasure' of listening to The Hits at work most of the day that the new single is getting plenty of plays.

 

They also keeping mentioning the fact that Selena Gomez and Zedd have recently broke-up but remain friends. NO1CURR.
