January 13, 20214 yr Author Ruin My Life did okay, it was lucky to go top 10 but it done well on radio here and was lucky to scrape a top 10 peak which will probably be her last a solo artist. It got huge support on Today’s Top Hits, it struggled on HHUK and was dropped from the o playlists rather quickly, she’s struggled with Spotify and that’s why Don’t Worry Bout Me struggled too and All The Time, Love Me Land was the first single to get no radio support what so ever!
January 17, 20214 yr Author her first single pre-album not making the top 10 in Sweden... debuts at #21
January 17, 20214 yr Much as I hate 'Ruin My Life', it was a big hit and since then it feels like everything that's gone wrong is because they've LET it happen through their own laziness and ineptitude. 'Don't Worry About Me' and 'All The Time' were very hit-worthy songs. Honestly, Ruin My Career seems like the first time they started second-guessing themselves and not really knowing exactly what to do with her. I said it when Love Me Land was released, but it's probably the first song where I feel like Sara had finally started to forge her own identity music-wise as so much of her output felt Rihanna lite or whatever music acts are putting out these days. IMHO, Talk About Love is a step in the wrong direction for her. It's just garbage that anybody could release.
January 17, 20214 yr Author Love Me Land deserved better, it was such a shame to see it perform the way that it did because she delivered.
January 17, 20214 yr It's crazy that the random thrown out Carola duet ended up being the biggest smash she's had in years in Sweden yet didn't apparently give her any goodwill for her next release. She definitely needs to get onto a dance song, or something like Symphony again, she's still recognisable enough for that still at least. I'm sure Nathan Dawe or Joel Corry would happily work some magic for her? I'd hate to see her career slip away in her early 20s when she still has huge potential.
January 17, 20214 yr Author It’s just messy how she’s treated by radio in Sweden too but I don’t think this is the single that’s going to be huge for her. I still think she has a lot of time to turn it around but her releases are too messy. She’s worked with clean bandit, I would love to see her jump on a Joel Corey song! She’s such a good performer but messy choices has really affected her

Her airplay in Sweden isn't an issue.
January 17, 20214 yr Author Wut? She's on radio all the time in Sweden. I tend to listen to P3 when I'm out jogging my fat arse and she's played constantly. Her airplay in Sweden isn't an issue. What's the issue then, her songs even get instant support from swedish streaming sites but it seems as if nobody really wants to stream her anymore, the promo she got for love me land was great but did nothing
January 17, 20214 yr What's the issue then, her songs even get instant support from swedish streaming sites but it seems as if nobody really wants to stream her anymore, the promo she got for love me land was great but did nothing I just think she's gone out of flavour even here. Which makes me kind of like her tbh. But if she's gonna be a proper flop Queen then she's gotta take risks and not release this sort of pandering crap.
January 17, 20214 yr Also, if you want to listen to P3 (essentially the Swedish BBC Radio One) here's the link: https://sverigesradio.se/sida/kanal.aspx?programid=3634
January 18, 20214 yr Hate to say it but this has done nothing for me. Been trying to get myself to like it but the only part I actually enjoy is the bridge. :( All her other singles have at least been of high quality but this just like its trying to recreate so good which ironically enough was a song I actually didn't hate as much as everyone else. As much as I would like to be more optimistic, I don't see this doing anything in the charts. Very excited for the album though after seeing the list of producers! I'm feeling confident that it will be of high quality. :D
January 18, 20214 yr Author The bridge is probably one of her best bridges, I’m over the song now though
January 19, 20214 yr This is already #41 on US Pop Radio! Low-key surprised even though being this low means basically nothing ;)
January 19, 20214 yr Author It's the fastest that she's ever managed to get to #41 on US Radio. She got 212 plays last week and yesterday alone managed more than half of that, it's very encouraging.
