Westlife - Hello My Love

January 11, 20196 yr

OCC's comparison to Bop Bop Baby and Uptown Girl is just wrong maybe just to have a recall for their old fans. The song is more of a faster version of Something Right, Difference in Me, Beautiful Tonight.

well, their fans like "dated" pop songs like Beautiful in White that was uploaded on Youtube in 2011 but only got 100m views last year. they can't shift to a different sound drastically they will lose fans

vevo uk tweeted yesterday: "It's only been 10 days but fairly confident that Hello My Love is song of the year." maybe promo with them coming up.

I just can't believe they will chart that high on itunes Chile, Ecuador #2, Brazil #5 and those European countries not familiar to them. #43 US Pop, #10 Japan Pop, #2 Mexico Pop, #162 Canada, #39 Canada Pop, #13 Saudi Arabia

Very similar to Beautiful tonight.. but this one its a lot stronger, it is an anthem anyone will be singing it in the concerts etc etc.

In any case, since last midnight the downloads are counted in the charts for next week, or i am wrong?

Yeah, every download since midnight counts for next Friday's chart (Fri 11th Jan to Thurs 17th Jan = Fri 18th Jan chart). Streams that occur from today until the 23:59:59 on Wed 16th Jan count. Streams that occur on Thurs 17th Jan won't count, because streaming services don't send the data to the OCC in time - OCC estimate it.

Thanks Jay, you are really polite and helpful.. Cheers.

They should put a group version of Beautiful In White on the album, even if as a bonus track. When I heard it on Shane's last album I thought it sounded like a classic Westlife ballad. It would have been an easy UK No.1 in the early 00s.

Did you English fans buy the new single, physically and online? and also stream it 10 times a day to each platform? :)

It was only recorded in 2006, only track they recorded in Abbey Road Studios and rejected by Simon in 2007 maybe because Us Against the World, Something Right, and Beautiful in White have the same songwriters.

Not good in UK, actually very bad....

I believe they have the #1 in the bag in Ireland which will be their 14th, but in the UK it seems impossible and its a shame.. Both them and the song are so famous....

Isn't that a good start for Spotify?

The fact it's gone top 200 straight away with no playlisting is brilliant for them. Depending where NMF helps them climb to, it could be a hit for them.
