Actually angry at JT for this, sure he has some classics waiting and with the super bowl this could have been his era. I love the man and even have a bloody tattoo with his initials, his music has been legendary but what is this???? Genuinely pissed off.

in 2 days, they're gonna say this was just a buzz single and the proper lead single is coming soon

Surely Bjork buy why have they don't this. This was his bloody chance to be massive again! Really massive.

well i think it's perfect for the US, which is sure his #1 market

I've been having a meltdown this morning then a clip comes on Good Morning Britain and my wife goes....'This is actually really hood's. She doesn't even listen to music much so maybe a good sign the GP will like it. Haha

Do you think that if his second song is great that he will smash with it? Worried for the era now.

Hoping Filthy smashes, love it.

I think it’ll do a lot better than people are expecting.

Just listened to it in the car on repeat. Think it's the video that ruins it because it's much better without it. Maybe it will be big.

9. Bruno Mars - Finesse (Remix) [feat. Cardi B]

37. Liam Payne & Rita Ora - For You (From "Fifty Shades Freed")

93. Justin Timberlake – Filthy

115. Kendrick Lamar & SZA - All the Stars

209. Charlie Puth - If You Leave Me Now (feat. Boyz II Men)

"For You" sounds like "Rank 1 - Airwave".

The new Timberlake song certainly sounds like nothing else in the chart right now... I like it! Very funky, but modern as well.

 

I wonder if it's the start of a change in chart trends? It sounds like a more refined version of 2008-12 style songs.

Loving the new Rita/Liam track. JTs new single however is horrendous! I am so disappointed with it.

I don't think the JT track is that bad - its different and possibly wont be as commercially successful. Maybe my expectations were low given comments on here but it was alright.

 

By contrast the Liam/ Rita song has rave reviews on here and I felt underwhelmed. Liam's range and diction is terrible

Very disappointed with JT's new song.....it's no Mirrors or CSTF that's for sure and will flop. However I'm sure his second single will be much better (like Taylor)

 

Charlie Puth new one disappointing too. Rita/Liam future number 1 although it's pretty bland

 

Anyway at least it's nice to get some new releases even though they're mostly rubbish

I heard Justin’s song on Radio 1 this morning though I was half asleep. It sounded like the music was too loud for the vocals but very different. Fair play to JT for trying something different. I don’t see why people are having meltdowns about it, even if this era does flop, it’s hardly the end of him.

It's very 'SexyBack'. Except without the hook. I don't see why some of his fans are hating it when this sounds like it'd fit perfectly on 'FutureSex/LoveSounds' :lol:

 

As for the general consumer, I'm not sure. I can see this doing so well on streaming, but after peaking on sales, I can see it falling pretty quick. I think I read someone on here say they think it will have a 'Look What You Made Me Do' sort of chart life, which I can def see happening. But then again Justin is a white male so could just as easily go to number for 8 weeks instead.. who knows 🙃

 

I also feel like we're getting other tracks before the album release in just under a month.

This is a similar reaction that 'Work' got isn't it?

JT's is very different, think it will take some time to get used to it.

 

Don't understand the praise for Rita/Liam, to me it is worse than the Zayn/Taylor duet. It's just dull.

 

Loving Kendrick and SZA, hope that does something.

Filthy seems alright, but it doesn't really stand out for me, there is something missing, probably because its different from what there is in the charts. I was really expecting something upbeat.

 

Liam & Rita's track is a bit bland, its got no beat to it hardly, its not really Love Me Like You Do

 

All these years it seems funny seeing Boyz II Men as featured artists, after their #1 smash End of the Road.

 

Kendrick & SZA track sounds promising, its also attached as a soundtrack to the new Marvel film Black Panther out next month, probably more tracks from the soundtrack album will get dropped soon.

Bruno & Cardi Up to 6!!! :o
