July 15, 20169 yr Author I love the video! I will agree it's not all bells & whistles but it doesn't need to be. It's so well shot and really goes with the whole vibe of the song and the darkness of the lyrics (plus he looks cool as anything in it. And also reminded us to get my butt kicked down the gym!)
July 15, 20169 yr Borefest. I hate when people think an aftershave ad type of video will work. He never brings it visually.
July 16, 20169 yr Author Well the single looks to be off to a good start anyway after just one week - #23, also climbing Spotify nicely and also straight on the C list at Radio 1! #16 on the Airplay chart as well :) No TV dates seem to be in the pipeline yet but I'd imagine given this has an 'impact date' of 12th August that we'll see some stuff around that time.
July 17, 20169 yr Absolute triumph of a pop song, and easily up there with his best singles for the chorus alone. <3 I...actually think I prefer it overall to 'Run Away With Me'. :mellow: :mellow: :mellow: :mellow: :mellow: (and now I have an excuse for my impending megaflop in the rate :D) I inadvertently heard an Olly gig last weekend in Hyde Park when my friends and I were sitting in the sun outside, and the song sounded crazy good amongst his back catalogue given it was a first-time outing. Already felt like a signature smash/career highlight. :o
July 18, 20169 yr That chorus is a proper earworm. 'Kiss Me' really should have been Top 10, really hope this doesn't suffer the same fate.
July 21, 20168 yr Borefest. I hate when people think an aftershave ad type of video will work. He never brings it visually. He's not wearing a top in some scenes, how much more would you want from Olly Murs? :kink:
July 24, 20168 yr Author Now up to the B list on Radio 1, and climbs to #5 on UK radio airplay chart. People can knock the man all they want when the definition of having a 'hit' single is ever more warped these days by streaming but he's still knocking them out the park! This will be a long runner and seller a la 'Kiss Me' methinks.
July 30, 20168 yr I can't get enough of this, I think it may even challenge 'Heart Skips A Beat' to be his best for me.
July 31, 20168 yr This is definitely my favourite Olly song now, the video has it's positives as well *.*
July 31, 20168 yr Author Becomes his fifth UK radio airplay number 1 this week, and it's climbing iTunes and Spotify again nicely :)
August 7, 20168 yr Author #1 at UK radio airplay for a second week. Also performs this on Good Morning Britain this coming Friday and is on the cover of Fabulous magazine inside The Sun next Sunday...
August 7, 20168 yr #1 at UK radio airplay for a second week. Also performs this on Good Morning Britain this coming Friday and is on the cover of Fabulous magazine inside The Sun next Sunday... Seriously can't understand why this is not clicking with the general public - The airplay and promo is all there but even taking away streams its sales only performance is not great for a lead Olly single (8-21-18-23). Think he will always be the kind of artist though to do well with albums even if they are not as big as previously.
August 9, 20168 yr I am surprised by the lack of success for the single so far. I remain hopeful his second single can perform better.
August 9, 20168 yr Author Most of it, with the best will in the world, is because no one outside the fanbase seems to know this single is even out even with all the airplay. Feet of blame with management as he's only been on (after this Friday) two TV shows to promote it and he didn't even perform it on one of those shows (Loose Women)! The single climbed iTunes and Spotify again after that interview and probably would have done more so if he'd performed it.
