but come on, this is beyond bad, usual Ed Sheeran drivel but with a retro sound in a bad way

All about opinions Bjork but your hate for them is blinding your view. This is a massive song, made my big hitmakers who know a decent song. They could release anything and you would hate it...

What the!!! They are mad! Why on earth release on a Thursday. Just played the song at work and everyone liked it, then told them it was Westlife and they were surprised.

 

Either because they want a head start or they know it’s gonna flop spectacularly :lol:

I’m sure I read they are releasing physicals of it tomorrow.

01. Westlife - Hello My Love

Great stuff, successful start no matter what as Take That etc would not get anywhere near No1 on iTunes.

Good to see them at number 1 but we know an itunes number 1 means nothing

True! Although I do think that they are going for album and tour success otherwise why release on a Thursday!

116. Lady Gaga - Do What U Want (feat. R. Kelly)

366. Lady Gaga - Do What U Want (feat. Christina Aguilera)

 

apparently the song's going to be taken off soon so unsurprisingly it's back in the chart.

LMAO at Westlife releasing on Thursday :D It won't probably even chart with this strategy (was bound to get 50-sth position anyway)

Even if today’s downloads are effectively wasted, we don’t know yet how well it’ll hold up beyond today - and there’s a CD single.

are there any today's downloads or streamings which will count on the next day? for example spotify or something?

Any streams Westlife get today won't count because Thursday streams are estimated, all downloads will count but they'd have to sell at least 5.5k today to make this week's top 100.

will something from today count in tomorrow's / next weeks chart? I am trying to find a logic in this...

I'd love it if the Xtina version would suddenly take off and outpeak the original as kind of a f*** off to R. Kelly :D

Kworb has updated quite a big lead over Number 2 already - i'm guessing it'll decline sharply come the weekend thoguh

He's still a credited writer on Xtincts version though I believe :(

 

Also, I'm lowkey bopping to Westlife's new song. It's a bit Jess Glynne covering 'Castle On the Hill' but it works for them. Nowhere near the levels of Flying Without Wings, When You're Looking Like That or You Raise Me Up though.

Literally the only song I've ever liked of theirs is 'World Of Our Own'. That's like a big exception.

"Low-key bopping to Westlife", love that!

Yeah I basically came in here to check if this would happen!

 

I hate the fact that artists/labels can just take songs off spotify when they feel like it. I'd be really annoyed if that was my favourite song of all time.
