I find When We Were Young quite tuneless. The chorus is very weak. Send My Love is catchy and something we've never heard from her before

 

Yeah I actually agree, I think When We Were Young is a great album track, but wasn't a single choice for me. Hello is the big standout for me on 25.

From the 'Game Of Thrones' finale!

 

Up to #49 now. I always love soundtracks appearing on the charts for whatever reason, and fans of the show will clearly know why this one has - everything about that scene was perfect.

I thought the Game of Thrones song was another one of those Asian Network singers that has a huge fanbase like Nafees with Dil Jaaniye and Yo Yo Honey Singh with Desi Kalakaar :lol:

58. Final Song - MØ

96. At Night (I Think About You) - MNEK

 

CLIMB! :D

I like 'When We Were Young' but I think she was trying to hard to find her 'Someone Like You' moment with it and it didn't work.

 

Really pleased that 'Send My Love' is taking off - Expected it to stall at around #20 at one point.

Now top 40 at #39!! :heart:

 

39. Ramin Djawadi - Light of the Seven

 

Please keep climbing. It's too late to chart top 40 officially, but I would love for it to go top 100 at this point <3

Wish the new MNEK song would climb higher, I think it's great!

I like 'When We Were Young' but I think she was trying to hard to find her 'Someone Like You' moment with it and it didn't work.

This is kind of how I've always felt about it, I like it but it never really connected with me, there was something missing that stopped it being this kinda moment I think she was striving for.

Lightning doesn't strike twice in music I generally find. Going for that sparse longing ballad for the second single again was a bit of an overly predictable step and the song just doesn't really strike the same emotional chord as Someone Like You, neither does it have SLY's 'wow' factor, and the feeling of it being a big moment. It's a nice song, but that's all.

 

There are exceptions to this rule of course, for example Westlife could always be relied on to provide that November cover ballad #1 in the mid 00s, but generally trying to emulate past glories by recycling old songs and campaign strategies can come across as desperate and/or uninspired.

I am totally the opposite, i dont see When We Were Young in that she was trying to create another Someone Like You. If we look at sales, Hello sold just as well ( i can only resonate with UK sales when i say that) so she had the moment again with Hello as it was huge and the album opened very well. In all i would say job complete if that was what was planned.

 

I maybe naive, but i dont think she approaches music that way, if she did i think we would get albums at a quicker rate and deluxe editions etc would be on the market.

 

When we were young, just struck a chord with me on first listen and remains that way so i have a bias towards it. Obviously, many disagree and that is what is joyous about music, songs appeal to different people in different ways. I had hoped it would have sold stronger, that said it is a 400,000 plus seller which is impressive when we look at the album sales.

10. Dua Lipa - Hotter Than Hell

 

By default really because of the inevitable Viola Beach rush down.

I found When We Were Young quite dull too, and for the amount of support/ fact that it's Adele/ followed Hello, I'd definitely say it undersold expectations a little. I know the album had already sold huge amounts, but it's sold even more now and I wouldn't be surprised to see Send My Love outsell it. Though, I admittedly don't really "get" that either, I find it equally as boring, just in a different tempo.

 

There was nothing anywhere near as good as Hello on the album IMO.

18. Hype - Dizzee Rascal & Calvin Harris

 

eek

Hype hasn't had the success I envisioned it to. I suppose Dizzee will never be as big as his pre-2013 era, as sad as it is.

That and the fact it's bloody awful. It's just a load of noise :lol:

I find there's nothing quite as grand and on the scale of 'Hello', but there's several that I personally find more emotional ('I Miss You', 'When We Were Young', 'Million Years Ago', 'All I Ask' for instance).

I can't see it happening but I'd love for 'Million Years Ago' to be a single at some point.
