40 in the US

34 in the US now - seriously!!??

I'm not usually good with hearing 'obvious' similarities between songs but I instinctively paused the performance as soon as the chorus hit to figure out why it was so strikingly familiar!

 

A pretty undeniable juggernaut of a pop song not unlike 'Black Magic' (though much slicker and mature, as has been said), so it's cool to see the song soaring to the top spot already. If I'm being pedantic though, their continued Americanisation kinda irks me, from the pronunciation and delivery of the verses in this one to their recent music videos. Would be good for them to embrace their roots via music/visuals/branding a little more in their quest for world domination.

 

Having said that, a premiere of 'Shout Out To My Ex' complete with cross-armed X-sign choreography was a nice nod to their beginnings!

Official performance is on Youtube now!

 

 

At least for now! Haha.

Almost 200,000 views already on Youtube :o

Great performance on X Factor and im happy to see them number 1 on itunes, id love this to go number 1 for them but streaming will probbaly block it unless they can really pick up on streaming. Great to see it moving up the U.S charts as well.

I don't love the song as much as I did Black Magic but it's too early and I'm too shook to form a proper opinion at this point. I do however think the performance was outstanding. There was no huge moment in it but it was incredibly polished and professional. Vocals on point, in sync. They basically sold themselves on their personality, friendship and unity as a group. Forever proud.

They need to chart, desperate times.

As much as I love this, I can't see it doing anything for them in the US. But I'm not sure they expect it too. Maybe they'll wait for the tour with ARiana to properly promote a single there

What Black Magic did in 5 months with multiple performances in USA, Shout To My Ex did in 5 hours.

Shout Out To My Ex is a fantastic pop song with its chanty vibe and the country-ish, acoustic guitar led production. I loved Ugly Heart and yes there are similarities (I think there's a hint of Shake It Out in there too), but it is a great song to take inspiration from.

 

Regarding my rank, the DNA era aged quite badly for me as you can see - they do feel quite "cheap" compared to the majority of their other hits. I still like them but they have definitely progressed their sound and production values!

 

Disgusting.... They tweeted from dead girls account to stire up the drama. Yuck.

I am a fan of Little Mix and G.R.L.

 

The striking resemblance between the choruses cannot be denied.

 

Also after checking it isn't actually on Simone's Twitter, only their main Twitter https://twitter.com/grl/status/787787205502656512

Yes but using a dead person's memorial account to be shady and petty is plain wrong. At least it was deleted.

It's not shady, it is plagiarism. The chorus is a copy of the chorus from Ugly Heart.
