February 15, 20196 yr Author New peak of #24 this week, I can't see it going much higher now that the film is out and it was #2 on Today's Top Hits all of last week I imagine it'll be a middling hit but probably won't peak very high
February 25, 20196 yr This is very good! Nice switch up in sound after I felt she was being a bit predictable.
March 1, 20196 yr Not me coming around to this massively only for it to bomb out of the top 40. Not that it'll do her any harm, but I'm quite surprised it's done so poorly given the immediate support it received. Can she maybe ease off on the collabs/movie tracks until DL2 now? This era has lasted an eternity.
March 2, 20196 yr It’s not great when songs get such instant pushes - A list r1, instant capital, big hot hits placements etc and then flounder like this. It’s just not good for the artist. It’ll be fine for Dua she’s in a more than comfortable position though. She needs to go back with some quiet time now and launch DL2 in Q4 IMO. New single in Oct and November album?

You're right - I doubt people will even remember it existed and the hype leading into the next album will remain the same. It's just an annoying blip on her fantastic singles run thus far.
March 3, 20196 yr I can't see its underperformance affecting her success for DL2. That will all depend on its lead single. A January 2020 release would be far more beneficial for her imo than Q4 providing no Ed/Adele release.
March 3, 20196 yr It's just I've noticed when Radio 1 auto-A list an artist, and Spotify give them massive top promo and Capital instant add, if the song under-performs, they can be slower with support next time round.
March 3, 20196 yr 'Swan Song' is a total non-event, I'm not surprised in the slightest that its chart performance has been underwhelming! (to be fair the production is great but the rest of it doesn't work at all)
