Surprised to see GaGa drop already. She needs to push that promo asap.

If you told me this time last week that over the course of the week James Arthur would end up higher than Lady Gaga I'd have laughed at you... :o

James Arthur doing better on iTunes than Lady GaGa, who would have thought?

If he could be top 10 all week

And make 2k-ish per day

He could make the top 40

Even with poor streaming

i like gaga, she come back

Really thought gaga was gonna be

Track of the Day on R1 today

Just to remind people of it

Anhæd help it stabilize

Literally :o at James Arthuer, thought he would struggle to go Top 50 on iTunes. It's nice to have a surprise 'hit' though and if media gets behind it could be this years 'Wasn't Expecting That' moment.

All for surprise hits, so well done James Arthur.

08. James Arthur

:mellow:

James Arthur :o

 

I can only applaud the turn-around.

At the moment I'm not wowed by the James Arthur track but I really want him to do well. As a gay man I could be immature and continue to judge him for something that happened 3 years ago, but instead I'd rather accept his repeated apologies and move on...

I think James Arthur will just about scrape the top 40 as he's nowhere to be seen on Spotify

He's up to six now!

 

EDIT - And Now 05.

BLOODY HELL. I have genuinely NO IDEA how James Arthur is doing so well but I'm so happy for him. The fact he could debut top 40 on Friday is brilliant.

Has he done any promo for it? It's been climbing steadily all week and seems like there was little to no build up to the release.

Literally 0 promo. Shawn Mendes said in an interview about how James Arthur was his idol, though.

I think he has done thismorning that's the boost from 11 to 5

After seeing his chart performance James Arthur is probably at home now drinking his W K D thinking "blimey I thought people hated me? :huh:"

So are you of the assumption that anyone who doesn't like the song is an immature gay holding what he said 3 years ago against him?

 

I don't like it because it's pretty poo tbh.
