To be honest all of the stuff in this thread sucks. Absolutely worlds away from the likes of At Night.

This is out now

'Tongue' has been the one slice of goodness from this whole thing, the rest has been bleh.

WOW at this *.*

 

everyone in this thread needs to come correct

I like Correct and liked Tongue too. Colour I grew to like, but I feel a bit meh with MNEK at the moment...

 

But I can't help but feeling they're kinda flogging a dead horse now. For whatever reason he just isn't clicking or seemingly gaining fans/ support.

 

 

He's performing on Sunday Brunch today, not sure which song though.

Actually, as a body of work this album is pretty solid. Girlfriend is a certified banger.

Oop :(

 

@MNEK

ok i told my mgmt not to send me the sales or whatever and so they didn’t - but i’ve seen someone’s tweeted it and i am a bit gutted, kinda f***ed it.

Scared of seeing the sales? Reminds me of when alesha dixon "deleted" her single a few years back to avoid the shame!

Apparently these were the figures (from Popjustice)

 

#136 (845 sales, including 24.97% from downloads and 17.4% from physicals)

Good Lord, it's like the whole county completely forget his existence! He has 92K followers on Twitter too...

Wait does that mean the rest are from streaming??

 

So around 400 actual sales?? Eeek, I just don’t have words...

It is a major flop... but then kind of expected given Tongue and Colours didn't exactly take off in any big way.

 

Also his 'bigger' hits weren't even included on the album.

 

There just seems to be no interest in him as an artist. Its odd really that he isn't really supported anywhere especially given as he has featured on 'Ready Four Your Love' had a bit of a break through with 'Never Forgot You', but there seems to be a void around any form of radio support or just momentum.

 

Maybe he should stick to producing for others

I actual feel sorry for him, he’s a good producer and ‘Tounge’ would have been a smash for almost any other artist!

Agreed on all counts; Tongue was a bop and deserved to smash.

Wow that is really bad :/ Not heard the album yet oops but christ.

I feel so sorry for him :( He's so talented and 'Tongue' and 'Colour' are such bops as well.

 

I don't think we will hear from him as a solo artist from now on unfortunately.

I’ll never understand why radio never bothered to support anything from this era, ‘Colour’ sounds exactly like a song that Radio 1 and Capital would heavily rotate.

 

I like how real his disappointment is on twitter though, like I previously said ‘Tounge’ would have been a smash had he giving it to Dua, Zara or Little Mix. I can’t see any future solo material though and I guess his only way to comeback would be a duet which isn’t impossible considering the artists he writes for.

I wasn't expecting the album to do that well but it flopping quite that much is rather shocking.

 

at least he can continue writing for other artists and get success that way, but flopping so much with all his solo material must be tough. hope we at least get his vocal on the occasional dance dj song anyway (and tbh I can't say I've listened to his album or really got into his recent solo singles either).

Definitely! It's really frustrating that he is writing great radio pop and yet the charts nowadays seem to rely so much on name. I feel so bad that he is making great pop but also put his own life and story and experiences into it, yet it's still not enough. There really doesn't seem to be anything he can do as a solo artist and that must be so gutting, I follow him on Twitter and he seemed so passionate about this project.
