October 1, 20159 yr Sounds good. I'm definitely getting 'Up' vibes though. Yeah I knew it was probably going to sound like 'Up' as soon as I knew Kelly was going to feature. It's still a pretty good song though judging by that snippet. I can see Heart killing this song already (just like they do 'Up'). :lol:
October 1, 20159 yr Author Steady on, he'll make it in the uK if he's lucky, forget about the US though, unlikely. No need for steadying. I just thought if the single was released there eventually having Kelly on it will help him. I don't need to "forget it" though thank you :P
October 1, 20159 yr No need for steadying. I just thought if the single was released there eventually having Kelly on it will help him. I don't need to "forget it" though thank you :P From the snippet, it seems like a very catchy song so I could see it doing well on Hot Adult Contemporary - especially with Kelly's name attached to it.
October 1, 20159 yr Author From the snippet, it seems like a very catchy song so I could see it doing well on Hot Adult Contemporary - especially with Kelly's name attached to it. I liked what I heard although very brief. Just want to hear the whole thing now. Not very patient me :) Yes that was my line of thinking re Kelly. Maybe if the song does well here and elsewhere, they may give it a push in the states. Let's see :)

I don't know how old Ben is but Radio 1 don't want to playlist many artists who are over the age of 30 - especially pop artists. Still, a guest slot on XF could do wonders.
October 1, 20159 yr I think it's a 100% guarantee it'll get playlisted by R1. Edited October 1, 20159 yr by mr_pmt

I'm not sure when the song premieres, we seem to be getting a tiny bit more info each day so maybe by Christmas we may get there! I'm hoping at least by the end of the week so it can get some plays before its released next Friday.
October 1, 20159 yr Sounds like something Heart would play a lot. Hopefully he & Kelly will do well with this single. Would be great if it got to #1 (been 6 years since Kelly's first and only #1 in the UK).
October 1, 20159 yr I think it's a 100% guarantee it'll get playlisted by R1. Yeah I think you're right. But I can't see them being that mad about it since Ben and Kelly are hardly their ideal kind of artists. Sounds like something Heart would play a lot. Hopefully he & Kelly will do well with this single. Would be great if it got to #1 (been 6 years since Kelly's first and only #1 in the UK). It's so weird to think MLWSWY is her only UK No.1. - especially since it's pretty much a sequel to 'Since U Been Gone' which is more of a classic.
October 1, 20159 yr Kelly Clarkson is "hardly their ideal kind of artist"? Sorry, but I don't get this when Radio 1 gave good playlisting to both 'Heartbeat Song' and 'Invincible'. :lol: EDIT: Come to think of it, I think it was "only" C-List for the latter but still, they supported it somewhat :lol:

When you think of some of the songs on Breakaway that didn't make #1 its a crime.

But obviously she still gets supported by them - probably due to her still being very successful Stateside. When you think of some of the songs on Breakaway that didn't make #1 its a crime. I know. I think SUBG is one of those songs that people who don't follow the charts would assume had gone to #1 back in the day. BOY and BTHE should've charted higher too. :(

October 1, 20159 yr I can't recall where BTHE charted but its still my favourite of hers. Number 9 in the UK - should've been higher imo
October 1, 20159 yr I think Breakaway's album sales negate the fact none of the singles went to #1, although she still got 3 sizeable top 10 hits with decent chart runs. I know what you mean with R1 though, they didn't playlist 'Since U Been Gone' and it was something of a "surprise hit" at the time, Breakaway had a slow start but stabilised with 'Behind These Hazel Eyes' and obviously went stratospheric at the end of the year. Plus R1 have been reluctant to support her on several other occasions too (the My December era, Already Gone, Catch My Breath, Underneath The Christmas Tree) Edited October 1, 20159 yr by mr_pmt

Plus R1 have been reluctant to support her on several other occasions too (the My December era, Already Gone, Catch My Breath, Underneath The Christmas Tree) I didn't know Radio 1 originally ignored SUBG. :o I can kind of see why they were reluctant to support some of those examples - 'Already Gone' followed up a disappoining #36 single, I've kind of noticed Radio 1 are hesitant to playlist the lead singles of Greatest Hits albums (or at least hesitant to give them much support - e.g. Madonna, Christina Aguilera) and I don't think they playlist Christmas singles anymore. I think they played both 'Underneath the Tree' and 'One More Sleep' a lot back in 2013 but neither were playlisted. Edited October 1, 20159 yr by Scene
October 1, 20159 yr Author OK we have a a bit more. https://instagram.com/p/8TU9huj2_m/ Definitely very radio friendly.... :music:
October 1, 20159 yr It really sounds like something that Olly would release (not at all a bad thing in my book). I like it and I'm loving hearing Kelly voice <3 It sounds like a superior version of 'Up'. Looking forward to the full thing.
October 1, 20159 yr I'd like it more if it was a different voice tbh, I really can't get into Ben's voice at all.
