Glad Chromatica rose to #3! :cheer:

So happy that ROCKSTAR is spending another week at #1 tomorrow.

 

Hopefully it can tie (and maybe surpass) Blinding Lights as there's no new real competition

I still find it pretty crazy how Watermelon Sugar has blown up recently out of nowhere. I'm not a fan of Harry (it's not a negative, I just don't listen to his music) but I'm kind of rooting for him to go even higher. Everyone loves an underdog.

I was thinking the same thing. It's not even the strongest of his singles, but somehow it's managed to capture the public's imagination. But regardless, it's great to see a post album single having this level of success!

I'd say it's getting the traction because it's the one of/if not the strongest single of this era! It did well when it was a promo single to hang around so it definitely had potential back then. I also think the release of the music video has kick started the process as well as the good weather and it's made to be a song for the sun!

I think if George Ezra returns sometime this summer it will be huge, though I think it's more likely to be early 2021.

 

Watermelon Sugar just reminded me of him :lol:

Adelita securing more funds yesterday :cheer:

But how can you not cry when she gets so badly treated for being an American artist? :(

To see the haters dropping rivers of tears is a delightful experience to witness. :angel:

Underdog? Biggest member of the biggest boyband of the last few years. Successful singles and album artist.....hardly an underdog.

Nobody cares about your tantrum, Gaga keeps winning and that's what matters. :angel:

He's an underdog in the context of this song! Successful post-album singles are few and far between in the streaming era, and Watermelon Sugar had already been a hit before it became a single, so I don't think anyone ever anticipated this, regardless of how good the song is + how successful Harry is! Artists like Billie Eilish and Taylor Swift have struggled with post-album singles in recent times, while others like Post Malone and Ariana Grande simply haven't bothered. The fact Harry's scoring a second successful post-album single is a huge deal when most artists can't even get one nowadays.

 

And that's without considering how the self-titled post-album singles did - Two Ghosts and Kiwi's chart peaks came from the album release week, they didn't re-enter as singles!

 

Realistically, I was genuinely hoping for a top 40 re-entry for Watermelon Sugar. When it managed that the week the video came out, I revised my hopes to achieving a new peak, and it managed that just a couple of weeks later. Going top 10 is beyond what I ever hoped for but I'm absolutely thrilled. I hope it continues to defy expectations!

Is witnessing your tantrum a funny experience? Yes, it is, but it doesn't change the fact that me & everyone here doesn't care about your cheap show. :angel:

Totally agree with you and also hoping it continues to climb- I would adore (pardon the pun) for it to become a long-running too-five hit.

Makes perfect sense, sorry I misjudged. He is doing great and long may it continue!! Watermelon Sugar is definately capturing the GP and will get even bigger in my opinion.
