February 19, 20197 yr I would agree. I think she will struggle now. The momentum to her career seems to have been lost since witness. I did expect this to be doing slightly better but only because i expected more support straight away. I didn’t expect Radio 1 and especially Capital not be straight on board, as well as Spotify placing it so low on Hot Hits. Particularly, off the back of The Middle’s success. So yeah, it seems like it’ll be one to be patient with.
February 19, 20197 yr Katy just needed to properly disappear for a couple of years. People needed to miss her, she could have come back with a bang then.
February 19, 20197 yr The problem is that Katy's not getting any younger, and ageism sadly seems to be a thing with pop music listeners. About mid 30 seems to be the cutoff for pop artists and they're less likely to be playlisted by R1/Capital etc, which is really annoying. Having said that, Pink's 39 and she's still doing very well.
February 19, 20197 yr I think the song just needs to be given a bit more time to take off? The last 3 big hits of Zedd's all took 7-9 weeks to reach their peak positions and debuted at #33/#53/#92 respectively (Stay/The Middle/Starving).
February 20, 20197 yr Classic Buzzjack. Ready to call a song that is 5 days old a flop just coz it's off to a slow start. :') People really need to stop saying something is a "flop" if it's charting until about week 6 or 7 when we know for sure it's not taking off or whatever. In this day and age, songs take ages to take off. Y'all know this and you still wanna dub it a flop as soon as it's been released.

So yeah, it seems like it’ll be one to be patient with.But this isn’t off the back of The Middle’s success. It’s off the back of the Lost In Japan remix that didn’t really make much of an impact, and Happy Now didn’t exactly set the charts alight either. Even then I’m glad that the chart climbs are starting to be a little more organic.

February 20, 20197 yr No, I just forgot to take that out of the copy & paste, she's sold a few hundred since Monday's update.
February 20, 20197 yr Shame its not a bad album for Avril got the perfect blend of old and new Avril, bit strange the physical version only has a solo version of dumb blonde was it a last minute thing by the label to feature Nicki
February 20, 20197 yr I'm guessing 'needy' by Ariana is now outselling 'bloodline'? The latter was a new entry on Monday while 'needy' vanished from the charts but I know sales were close between the two.
February 20, 20197 yr I'm guessing 'needy' by Ariana is now outselling 'bloodline'? The latter was a new entry on Monday while 'needy' vanished from the charts but I know sales were close between the two. Oh no. I want 'Bloodline' there instead! :arrr:
February 20, 20197 yr Advice in the top 15 and TAU in the top 30 :cheer: I just hope Zedd can hang on in the top 40 and Calvin could reclaim #3 by Friday due to tonight’s BRITs and I hope it’s enough to get him #1 next week Edited February 20, 20197 yr by Hadji

The latter was a new entry on Monday while 'needy' vanished from the charts but I know sales were close between the two. indeed. there's only a few hundred between them but I think it's more likely that 'needy' will remain ahead.
February 20, 20197 yr lololololol I forgot about the BRITs looks like it will be george Ezra - shotgun taking that last top 10 spot then?
