November 13, 20204 yr Author She already filmed the music video a week ago. It involves 4 male dancers, a choreo created by Matt Glee (who did the "Bounce" choreo) and it was shot in a warehouse.
November 19, 20204 yr Author Preview of "New Boy": http://samanthajade.co/newboy It sounds very good. Definitely, a different sound from her. Edited November 19, 20204 yr by sjadeupdate
November 20, 20204 yr Author This is doing better than her last 2 singles on iTunes, already outpeaking them. Up to #23 on iTunes Australia.
November 21, 20204 yr Unfortunately iTunes isn't a good indicator of how well a single will do anymore - I've seen artists peak at #1 and still not chart. A good example is Ricki-Lee - especially in these COVID times there's been less competition and she went up to #1 on iTunes but it didn't go anywhere
November 21, 20204 yr Author Unfortunately iTunes isn't a good indicator of how well a single will do anymore - I've seen artists peak at #1 and still not chart. A good example is Ricki-Lee - especially in these COVID times there's been less competition and she went up to #1 on iTunes but it didn't go anywhere That's true. iTunes is still a good popularity indicator for radio airplay. Radio started to support Ricki-Lee once her last single went to #1 but the reason why it didn't go anywhere is because she's independent now, so barely no tv promo performances and playlist placement cause she didn't have a record label to back her up. Sam is the opposite. She has a management and her record label that is gonna push the song to make it a hit before album release.
November 21, 20204 yr Author Usually, her singles start falling down after two days but "New Boy" is actually rising again and just reached a new peak of #20 (+3) on iTunes Australia.
November 22, 20204 yr Author "New Boy" is up to #13 (+7) on its third day of release. "Bounce" peaked at #12 with an "Australia's Got Talent" performance so that's great "New Boy" is able to be one spot close to "Bounce" peak without any performances yet. And the fact it's rising after 3 days when it's usually the opposite. Hopefully it continues this way.
