It seems that the video and VMA performance has really helped the song out on sales and streaming already. I wonder if this could actually be another top 10 hit for her if radio airplay and playlist support begins to increase too. I'm really not a fan of the song still but I'd be so pleased if it was a big hit for Katy, she could really do with one of those right now.

 

If it does smash though, I would still not release another single from Witness. This has already done well enough to guarantee support for the next single and I wouldn't want her to ruin that with releasing something like Save As Draft immediately after this :drama:

I don't see it hitting top 10 because I don't think Spotify will do much for her at this stage but even just slipping into the top 20 would be something considering how drawn out this whole process has been.

I still don't think it's totally out of the question for the song to be added back to Hot Hits UK. I know it's rare and almost unheard of bar a couple of occasions of the past couple of years, but this situation is quite unqiue, how many times can we think of when a song is taken off Hot Hits and starts becoming a hit months afterwards?

#81 on Spotify (+3) 66k daily plays

 

Doing ok on streaming without playlist exposure.. and yeah, i don't think any big playlist will add her again.. which is a big shame!

Apple Music added Swish back to a couple to the ones it was previously taken off today, so I don't see it totally out of the question. They've gone to the effort of doing adds on instagram stories, Snapchat and Facebook so surely not putting it on Spotify would be silly.

Really? Didn't see that!

 

It would be really amazing if her team could put her back to all the big playlists like Today's Top Hits since the song is having a comeback after this video and it already is at over 100 million streams, it could become a sleeper hit.

Just caught up on the VMA performance of this and I thought it was pretty decent. Still some cringey moments but the basketball/referee outfits they both had on looked amazing and really added to the performance. A shame Nicki didn't do much aside from stand there but Katy seemed to be giving her all. This is starting to grow on me a bit even if it was probably Katy's worst ever single still for me... I just want it to be a hit for her so she can come back with something better soon and still get radio support :lol: :drama:

Terrible.

 

Up to #8 on iTunes! Really hope she can get top ten with this next week.

#7 now and #6 really close

 

#78 Spotify

We havr thr same opinion :lol:

I've just seen the video and OMG what a mess but I think I secretly kinda enjoyed it! :kink:

The video is already almost at 100M!

 

#75 Spotify

#6 iTunes (with a new Taylor Swift song ahead)

When do X Factor live shows start? Maybe it would be a good idea to keep this at 59p and continue promoting this in the UK because this could be a really big seller for her.

#73 on Spotify.

 

#20 in midweeks. Hoping she can hold on to the top 20 but baring in mind she was #26 at this point last week and ended up at #29 or something officially and she still isn't really doing big things on Spotify, I'm doubtful.

When do X Factor live shows start?

 

If it's true that they're cutting down to 6 weeks of live shows, then it'll be way too late for this then. Perfect for single #4 though!

I don't see her coming to the UK since she will be touring!

The song is growing on me. Prefer it to CTTR and BA but the video is just terrible, a total embarrassment.

Up to the Hits playlist on Capital, so with such big airplay and a steady performance on iTunes, I'd say we could call this a legitimate hit now, even if Spotify Playlists have hindered it's chance of a top 15 peak.
