At least it's not another #11.

 

Don't like it, but I'm still kinda rooting for this song. At least they delivered with the video and you can tell they really like this song.

I’m happy it’s not another #11 hit. Hopefully it’ll pick up on streaming next week but atleast its been within the top 10.

It's nice to see this in the top 10, will be interesting to see how it moves within the chart these coming weeks.

WLM (and Touch) aside, it's frustrating how much they struggle on streaming.

 

Shout Out To My Ex and Black Magic did very well to be fair. I wish their streaming numbers were stronger, but generally speaking I think they do pretty well for a girl group.

I would have preferred a single digit peak if this week was its peak, even number 9 but least it managed to get them another top 10 hit.

They were only 11 sales away from the #9 position! :o :(

Wasn't Reggeton Lento quite big on streaming too?

Yes it was. As was Touch, SOTMX and WLM.

 

SLS did pretty well as well!

Back to 25 on spotify.

Honestly obsessed with this, a perfect summer bop *.*

Nice. Glad to see this holding up! Hopefully it can become a lengthy hit!

A great summer bop this from Little Mix. Really liking the sample that they used for it.

 

 

#17 in mids today.

It’s not doing that great anymore.

 

Down to #30 on Spotify

Down to #11 on iTunes

Down to #24 on Apple Music

 

I just hope it picks up again and doesn’t just freefall now.

Yikes. At the risk of sounding overly negative, I’d say this is pretty much done already, no? It’s had massive levels of exposure: video/song both on Hot Hits (which makes its Spotify performance honestly quite embarrassing), video upon release, TV promo, and instant A-listing on R1 (plus Capital are back on board and giving it regular rotation). It never bodes well when a song gets this level of support off the bat and still underperforms.

 

I’m sure with the right song (this certainly ain’t it... as much as I bop to it from time to time) they could still get things back on track, but it’s kinda alarming how much their star has faded this past year.

Woman like me and Bounce Back chart peaks remind me of What About Now and Safe by Westlife back in 09 and 10. Both lead singles off the albums. Both #2 and #10 respectively

I think it’s not doing as well because of the chorus. I think it’s the key part that’s makes a song, but similarly to Woman Like Me they just repeat the same phrase over and over which isn’t very interesting or gripping. Looking back at their big hits like Shout Out and Touch, it’s the chorus that made the songs great. I do like the song but just haven’t been wanting to go back to it much.

I don’t get why people are thinking the girls ‘chart topping’ days are over. The fact they’re still together after 8 years is amazing, if girl groups history is anything to go by - usually by now they would’ve split up or had a change in line up.

 

I remember similar posts back in 2013/2014 after Salute was released. Move didn’t perform too well and people thought they were heading towards the end...

 

Then Black Magic and Get Weird were released, creating fantastic momentum which carried on through the Glory Days era.

 

WLM had a very good run, it was #2 for several weeks and that was only 8 months ago. I know the album didn’t do amazing, but I think the split from Syco didn’t help.

 

The girls will be fine. I did think Bounce Back would perform better than it has done, but some songs just don’t connect well.

That's the thing... the LM5 era was very reminiscent of the 'Salute' era, and they needed another 'Black Magic' to get the GP back on board. This is just so far removed from anything they've done before, and while I think it's a fun track, it was obvious from the minute the snippet premiered that it wasn't going to appeal to the masses. It's too... obnoxious.

 

I'll never understand the revisionism with 'Move'. It did very well. It sold 80k+ in the first week and spent 12 weeks top 40, which was nothing to scoff at in 2013 (longer than 'Wings' did).

LM5 didn’t have much of a campaign compared to the other albums they had. We had it then there was a what’s the second single type situation and then nothing else was pushed. I wish we got a ballad from the album pushed tbh because I think that would’ve made the album sales going better. But it still sold over 50K week one which is more than most albums this year have managed. Maybe the tour could have an affect? It is for P!nks albums this week and Spice Girls earlier this month.

 

 

Bounce Back is better than both Woman Like Me and Think About Us in my opinion. I had a feeling it would drop this week but I’m hopeful it could remain in the top 20/30 for several weeks. Is it on major playlists? I only use Apple Music so I don’t know much about the Spotify performance.
