Posted October 13, 20195 yr Apparently a new single for Liam is releaing on October 25th, titled 'All I Want (For Christmas)'. It does seem a bit early for a Christmas song to be released, though it's really only a week or so before the John Lewis ad will air - and I'm always up for new Christmas music!
October 13, 20195 yr Also re. the timing, late October is actually pretty standard for Christmas music to come out! Many Christmas albums come out in late October, to give people enough time to buy and listen to them before the big day - if they came out in December there'd be almost no time to pick up sales! It just seems unusual because we don't get many stars like Liam releasing Christmas music at all.
October 25, 20195 yr This is cute and pretty unexpected from him. Wasn't expecting an all out acoustic ballad but I like it.
October 25, 20195 yr Author I actually quite like this, would be great if this was a hit closer to Christmas.
October 25, 20195 yr Author I was just thinking that the title is quite clever, as it comes up second on Spotify if someone searches for "All I Want for Christmas" (looking for the Mariah song) :P Something that might help it soon!
October 25, 20195 yr I think it's really boring tbh. Not something I would listen to at Christmas, and not just because it's depressing (I listen to Stay another day every flipping xmas lol). Sounds basic. The music is nice though.
October 26, 20195 yr Scam those streams off Mariah, Liam! The song didn't leave much of an impression on me when I heard it on Friday, but it's too early for Christmas music! I'll see how I feel about it nearer the time. It is a change to hear Liam singing something slow like this though.
December 23, 20195 yr Number 92 in the midweek information released earlier today. Liam might be lucky, and hold a Top 100 position on the official chart on Friday.
December 30, 20195 yr Even a slot on Strictly Xmas special couldn't get him on the Top 100 on iTunes. I fully expected to wake up to a top 10 on iTunes UK the next day. He's proven to be more of a singles artist + the backlash to 'Both Ways' ruined the momentum. Timing also an issue, this should have followed STD in 2017. Lastly, this album has 9 singles on it, verging on a GH! If that doesn't sell an album NOTHING WILL.
