Its been out 3 days - I think labelling a song 'over' after no promo performances and little support on Spotify (in terms of playlists) etc is odd.

 

Also the fact its falling on i-tunes means nothing really; it impactrs the main chart so little these days that i'd be more concerned about Spotify playlisting

 

True that, it’s just frustrating and I don’t really know how the Spotify thing works, if it got added to today’s top hits how much of a difference would that make and why haven’t his label made it happen yet?

By far the best thing he's done to date! 'Slow Hands' was alright, but this is definitely better. It sounds a bit like something I could imagine Robbie Williams doing actually.

 

I think the darker hair looks really good on him too!

Up to #126 on Spotify today

Excellent climb! After the drop between Friday-Saturday, was slighty concerned it would fall out completely.

 

Hopefully can climb even more with HH support kicking in properly

After Hot Hits UK add, the track gained like 700k streams, up to 3.5m now!

Streaming should keep rising in the coming week or 2.

I would expect some promotional performances to come soon.

Celebrity X Factor may be a good shout for a performance

That would be a good promotional slot and with it starting to air soon, the timing would work.

I'm really enjoying this :o I hear Alex Turner more than Liam Gallagher in Niall's vocal delivery! But the style of song sets him apart enough, was a bit unexpected.

It's taken a couple of listens but I think this is great, definitely his best song after Slow hands.

I'm pretty bemused by the overwhelmingly positive reception to this song! I don't think any other 1D group or solo song has had this kind of reception across forums. I'm a bit nonplussed because I'm like... all this acclaim, for this bland and not remotely distinctive song? Oh-!

 

I've heard this three times now because I'm trying to hear what others are hearing in it, but it's really not clicking for me at all.

 

It doesn't strike me as authentic at all. Vocally he's attempting to copy certain indie singers and in the process he's sounding less identifiable. If I'd not known this was Niall before hearing it, I would never have guessed it was him. Louis is guilty of being a vocal chameleon on his latest single too. Musically it sounds run of the mill.

 

Oh well, it's not for me. I thought Slow Hands was genuinely great, so hopefully he has something more like that up his sleeve next time.

Niall's now at 48 on HHUK rather than in 51st place. Every little helps ;)

He was also added on TTH last night.
