February 26, 20214 yr I much prefer Tom he does a great job on this track, a really interesting voice. Can’t be doing with James Arthur’s slurring moody drawl. And his fans seem to be getting increasingly unpleasant. Tom has put up with quite a lot of nastiness with class.
February 26, 20214 yr Author James Arthur's fans on twitter have been quite odd for years :/ especially when Foals beat him a few years ago to #1 :P
February 26, 20214 yr I immediately brushed this one off on first listen but it's actually a really sweet song. Their voices work really well together too.
February 28, 20214 yr No.1 on the Big Top 40 today! Hopefully that might get it some more plays on Capital etc I’ve not actually heard it on there yet but I have heard Tiesto The Business at least 100 times, or it feels like it...

March 1, 20214 yr I think at this point it'll stabilise and start climbing, it's showing signs of being a big hit already.
March 2, 20214 yr The problem as per usual is the lack of Spotify support, it's on HH but at the bottom also it was not doing well on Amazon, #500-ish last time someone posted at least Apple is fully supporting it, #13 now, but Apple support is very volatile, songs get full support one week, zero support the next week, and they disappear from Apple... good thing also is in a couple weeks time, Tom's album drops so the song should benefit from that and get an album drop effect
March 2, 20214 yr I think it’s strangely not had that much radio play either, certainly not on BBC Radio 1 or 2. See it makes their playlists this week. There seems to be a lot of love for the song out there but some of the corporates seem not to have embraced it. Maybe either because of the play on ‘fcuk’ or the fact Tom has another successful song out and they dont want to playlist him twice.
March 2, 20214 yr It's probably because Ella's last couple of singles haven't set the charts alight and as a result they weren't desperate to playlist this one immediately. I'm sure it'll get full radio support before long, it's showing signs of being a big hit and it's clearly popular. As for the not-swearing lyrics, I played it in the car to my mum the other day and she's not huge on swearing in songs, but she laughed at those lyrics. I don't think they'll be any issue at all, they've played worse and there's no actual bad language on this for there to be a problem.

It's one of those things that only someone mature enough would understand, I don't think children are going to pick up on it. I've just given 'Dream On Me' a listen after seeing it mentioned a few times in the forum - the chorus has a similar vibe to 'Rain On Me'!
March 8, 20214 yr Big Top 40 #1 for a 2nd week, Radio 2 Record of The Week, and into the top 100 on Spotify. This still has some legs!
March 8, 20214 yr Streams dropped significantly in the latest update so a recovery is needed as the week progresses.
March 8, 20214 yr Radio 2 have A Listed this now, Steve Wright just played a horrible dance version of it though!
March 8, 20214 yr Radio 2 have A Listed this now, Steve Wright just played a horrible dance version of it though! Seems like radio now loves a monotone dance gloss over everything. That’s literally all Capital is now, didnt realise it had reached Radio 2 as well. Probably trying to be hip.
March 8, 20214 yr They sometimes do it on a Friday afternoon when trying to build for the weekend but it startled me as it never usually happens.
March 13, 20214 yr A few more positives. #60 Spotify #8 Apple Music #7 and #87 iTunes Chance of a new top 40 high ??
