Is it fair to say Maroon 5 are heading for a flop with 'This Summer...'?

 

That surprises me if so, it sounded like a surefire smash when I first heard it.

It looks like it but then 'Maps' outperformed expectations so who knows. It's up to 485 with a week to go. Definitely not looking likely to go top 10 now though. I think their fanbase alone could get it to about 35.

It seems like "TSGH" has underperformed pretty much everywhere. It's broken Maroon 5's top 10 streak here in the US, which is disappointing because I like it more than any song in that streak.

 

Also happy to see "CFMF" finally break into the top 10!

Surely Carly Rae Jepsen will get playlisted by Radio 1? I have a gut feeling it will be destined to be ignored and not make the top 40 :( I hope I'm wrong

They will, since there's not exactly any incentive for them to snub it :D Capital already playlisted it a few days ago I believe, so R1 should follow suit very soon

 

I'm surprised This Summer is the song to defeat Maroon 5's revival! Maybe it's too soon after Sugar? even if that was like a half a year ago or something already!

I hope I Do gets at least Top 40. It's the surprise X Factor related jam of this year.

Ooh the Lorraine performance this morning having quite a massive effect for 'I Do'! :cheer:

08. Can't Feel My Face - The Weeknd

 

:D

Megan Trainor though.

Demi Lovato won't get #1 unless she changes the release date as she's up against Silentó

I'm pretty sure the only reason 'This Summer' is struggling is due to the lack of airplay so far. I'd be surprised if it didn't at least challenge for Top 10 when it's released.

Megan Trainor though.

 

What?

Carly seems to be a Radio 1 favourite... They hammered Call Me Maybe and IRLY

I wonder if Demi has an outside chance of a #1. While Ain't Nobody is a guaranteed #1 the week before, it's not looking *quite* as big as I thought it was going to be (although still pretty massive I should think). I'm not quite sure what to make of Silento, but I could see it being the 'Are You With Me' to Demi's 'Not Letting Go'. 'Heart Attack' was a solid top 3 hit, and if I remember correctly Capital weren't on board with that until release week. Therefore Demi is going to get the most airplay she has ever gotten (already on Radio 1 and Capital - no sign of Silento on either yet?), and over the past couple of years despite limited releases, her profile here seems to have got bigger and bigger (plus the UK seems to be the only place where Demi has consistently performed better than Selena over the past few years which has to mean something).

 

Cool For The Summer is arguably Demi's most commercial song yet, and if Katy Perry released it it would've gone straight to #1. I think Demi has a chance too, a very outside one admittedly - but a chance all the same.

I'd LOVE if Maroon 5 went back to flopping but I'd still expect 'This Summer' will take off at some point, its airplay hasn't really properly started yet has it? And surely radio wouldn't just suddenly abandon them after arselicking them for years. It's actually, like 'Sugar', relatively inoffensive (slowly becoming a fan, did you slip something into my water supply T Boy???) but still hoping it flops and they can piss off to irrelevance again plz.

What?

 

NO IDEA.
