October 21, 20159 yr Well I doubt she pushed it back herself unless she's bought out Syco from Simon and the rest of the management team! This article says otherwise http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/music/news/a67...~prLAc84zEqOEnc
October 21, 20159 yr Author I can't see anything in the article that suggests that unless you are just taking the headline literally. And even if it did say it was Fleur's decision, it'd just be PR speak I should think! Syco would have made the decision to either escape a potential Adele release (which they've now made worse!), release it closer to the music video, build up more pre-orders or release it alongside an XF performance.
October 21, 20159 yr I don't see the problem with her pushing it back I mean it's only one week more anyway if the song had been out a while and she pushed it back then that would be a different story . Also I'm pretty sure though I could be wrong that the reason it's been pushed back as she will be performing on the first X Factor Live Show next weekend .

October 21, 20159 yr So BBC Radio 1 have confirmed that Adele is premiering and (so we can infer) releasing her single on the 30th as well. With Adele and Ariana dropping new singles that day, I have a feeling this could well be overshadowed. Hopefully the probable X Factor performance will at least allow it a top 5 position, but I'm not entirely convinced at this stage.

I don't think Ariana is much of a threat to Fleur in the UK either tbh .
October 27, 20159 yr Pushed back another week to November 6th. How annoying :( Probably because they have her on X Factor that weekend instead of this one coming. Also they are probably thinking 3rd week Adele will be easier to overcome than 2nd week (as if they are gonna get anywhere near to overtaking her, lol). May work out, but I just want to hear the song already.
October 27, 20159 yr Oh dear... it's frustrating to keep having to wait longer to hear this song in full. Her label seems under-confident...
October 27, 20159 yr You're right, they do seem under confident, but I have no clue what they expected from an OA/OS sale release. Of course people aren't going to pre order the song without even hearing it first, so they can't have the expectation of good pre order sales. If they are having second thoughts after Ben going in at #21, maybe they should premiere the song on radio this Friday and then release the following, with an X Factor performance and the release of the video? Would seem a little more logical than this constant pushing back of the premiere.
October 27, 20159 yr She's down to perform at the Oxford Street lights switch on this coming Sunday so we should get to hear it live in full even if we're waiting for the studio? :thinking: Pushing back does feel pointless though if it's just going to be OA/OS, I don't know what they're waiting for. Like no one is seriously expecting #1/top 5 even straight off the bat?!
October 27, 20159 yr Fleur has confirmed on her Facebook that she's performing on The X Factor on the 8th November! :cheer:
October 27, 20159 yr Makes sense of them moving this release date back I'm excited for the performance :D Edited October 27, 20159 yr by troylovesmusic
November 1, 20159 yr Apparently this is going to be used in the ASDA Christmas advert and will be aired tonight during the X-Factor. TACKY.
November 1, 20159 yr X Factor are really pushing Sax massively. It's used as a soundbed all the time, now this ad slot tonight, and the song can't even be heard in full yet. Meanwhile Ben is shoved into a last minute end of show Saturday slot after all of the performances, when a lot of people have probably already turned off!
