I feel like all of these suggestions would be good, though I suspect he's quite unlikely to release an alternate version of the song :cry: none of the previous three singles had any alternate versions released at all - no remixes, acoustic versions, etc!

 

Could also see the chance to release a deluxe version of the album passed on. That said, the campaign's going on well into 2021 with the tour now, so maybe he'll want to add a few songs to a second disc. Time will tell I guess :magic:

It's close with 220 KID, the gap is small and was closed a little since yesterday (however, if it closed by that amount again, it won't make a difference, but I can't make any promises!)

 

I agree but his team would be silly not to release an alternate version of WS considering it’s on the verge of breaking the top-ten in the U.K. and top-twenty in the U.S (it is at 29 on the US Billboard Hot 100 this week).

 

This album campaign will definitely go into 2021 considering all the Grammy buzz surrounding it; Billboard ranked Fine Line as a fave to nab the Album of the Year and Adore You for Record of the Year.

just wondered if Ella is still hanging in Top 100?

I'm rather hoping he and Dua can lead the way in breaking this trend of needing to tack a feature on a song.

I’m also here for more people not going down the feature route.

 

Did someone say 'Cruel Summer'??

It’s the only way for post-album tracks to get visibility on streaming playlists....

 

Do you have another solution to solve this issue?

That is the only 'Cruel Summer' worth talking about tbh B-) (well that and the '89 version, and actually I quite like Ace of Base's version too)

Bananarama's Cruel Summer... One of the best and most nostalgic pop songs of all time :wub:

This seems a little confrontational. He just says he doesn’t want to see tacked on features, he didn’t say he was going to revolutionise the charts.

I can't see Harry going for any features unless it's someone like Stevie Nicks

Here for 'Watermelon Sugar' getting that top 10 peak, Harry's ability to defy the usual trend among post-album singles has been pretty amazing (and with his 2 best songs and all x).

Indeed that clip from totp is class too the way the start on the balcony and 😍 at the fella dancing beside them with the yellow 'double dutch' shirt and the white shorts and hat - classic styles!!

Not a fan of the feature route either... the strategy can clearly do wonders as seen recently by Say So and Savage

but it doesn't always work, see the recent version of In Your Eyes with Doja Cat or the Lover version with Shawn Mendes

 

just realised Taylor and Post Malone are on the same label, so a feature could actually happen... but not sure... I think I'd rather have the original being pushed... in the US it can be a hit with airplay alone (like Delicate did) and in the UK the most important thing is sending checks to Spotify for there song to be added to HH, so hopefully they don't miss the trick...

This seems a little confrontational. He just says he doesn’t want to see tacked on features, he didn’t say he was going to revolutionise the charts.

 

It wasn’t confrontational. It’s just annoying when people offer their critique without coming up with another viable solution...
