I still find it very uninteresting, and I believe anything else (except "Down & Dirty" of course) would have been a better choice.

It kind of brings me back to when The Saturdays almost released The Way You Watch Me (feat. Travie McCoy), like it will sell because it's a collab. (Even though the solo version was better).

Without being the best track, Oops has the advantage to be an album seller (and a good sequel of Touch in the US).

I don't think they're having any trouble selling albums, so they should just cancel Oops and move on to the good songs. ;)

I've changed the title of this because it really is pretty much the reality.

 

 

It's been playlisted on Capital! loool (I wish they'd have waited tbh) :basil:

I really like 'Oops', find it my personal fave of the album so far, and really glad that it's gonna be a single. Now normally I'm not a fan of Charlie Puth, but this song is just awesome and follows 'Shout Out To My Ex' & 'Touch' perfectly. I like how this campaign is shaping up so far with 3 perfect singles, just like 'Get Weird'. Then I do agree that having 'Power' or 'No More Sad Songs' as the final singles, or in a perfect world both.

 

Imagine this run of singles 'Shout Out To My Ex'>'Touch'>'Oops'>'Power'>'No More Sad Songs'. Depending on how well 'Touch' & 'Oops' does in the charts (hopefully both will make top 5 or top 10), then 5 singles could may well be a possibility.

Yeah this is undoubtedly the best choice for third single! Performing really well on iTunes, they're coming for three songs in the top 40 next week too. Can't get enough of this rn :wub:

I seriously seriously despise this.

 

I suppose I get that the collaboration will draw extra attention, but it's a shame really.

I just don't want this as a single, might be the only single by them that I wont like that much :/ next to Little Me of course.

It's a cute song, kinda weird to think of it as a single when you compare it to all their other singles since their debut. Stuck in my head for the last few days so I guess it's growing on me.

This is definitely growing on me and for the past few days I'm been singing and humming it all of the time.

Well I absolutely love this - Perrie's voice sounds spectacular as does Charlie!

Heart FM have playlisted this and not Touch. Mess.

 

I'm really loving this song now, but I'd rather these singles were given support 1 at a time. I knew Heart would be all over this but I'd rather the radio would just stick to what's being pushed.

Touch and Oops are pretty much a double A side!

I do like this enough but it's not growing much, it's probably down there with How Ya Doin' as their weakest single for me.

This is climbing fast on iTunes and Spotify. It's 52 on spotify now and could enter the top 50 which worries me a little. It's just confusing and messy. I don't know why Heart and Capital couldn't just wait.

Does seem strange that this is getting so much airplay when it's not even their current single

Nah. 'Touch' will be fine now. The fact it's still rising again on iTunes and Spotify along with 'Oops' shows that the public are gonna be interested in both. I think this is quite a clever approach to capitalising on album sales outside of Christmas tbh.

 

'Touch' still has the video to come. It'll be fine I think, unless something gets surprise released, I think they'll get number 1 again tbh.

I don't think it's gonna harm Touch either, it's clearly doing great on it's own merit. It'll just make the transition into 3rd single a lot quicker and smoother with proven success ready and waiting.

 

To think though, I swear I spent what felt like about 3 weeks in despair crying waiting for Love Me Like You to finally break top 50 on Spotify and now they pretty much just casually stroll there with no issue.

It does feel like a double a-side situation, strange radio have playacted it though, it makes me wonder if the label encouraged it (as Oops is likely to be played by radio stations Touch wouldn't and vice versa). After all, why would radio stations playlist a song just because there was one performance of it on tv.
