bit confused at her team when they saw the reaction to EG 2.0??? All the reviews literally loved BB and hated EG 2

I still think if the song is good everything clicks she could still get a hit. She is still well streamed worldwide with no new song in year, currently 119 on Spotify. She also drew a bigger crowd than the headliners at rock on rio. Nearly 100 000

Ahhhhh she's coming!!!

In other news, lights seems to be going viral!

lights is always going to be a viral song

Lights is being given an official 2022 remix for release.

if only!!!! it's her best song ever and its a travesty it went to #2 in the US but flopped in the UK

So, is she now releasing a new version of a 12-year-old song as her lead single now? :huh:

Lmao I misread the feature as Sean Kingston & was thinking that was a choice...

 

Tbh Calvin is back in vogue now so I'm excited to hear the track esp if it's remastered.

No I believe this will just be sped up like Demi Lovato did

Sped Up version of "Lights" out this week as a gift.

I don't know why Lights never did anything here, it was huge elsewhere

I think it was a very late single in the campaign for her first era, and it sort of randomly took off early 2012 in other territories. I suppose they could have went for a UK re-release of it in 2012 to captialise on its international success, but I think they were perhaps more focused on preparing for the second album campaign to begin at that point.

Unsure if this is sped up actually think this might be a collection of remixes and an official 2022 edit of lights.

yes, they had already milked the debut album to death, with like 6 single and an album re-release

but it's not everyday that a UK artists gets a US #2 so they should totally have capitalised on that and re-release Lights

yeah the issue with 'Lights' was... it was a really random hit in the US and a sleeper hit as well, I think it took over a year to take off?

was reading now the story of Lights in the US and it's kinda crazy

it debuted in the top 100 for 1 week in August 2011, then returned to the top 100 in January 2012

and climbed and climbed and it took the song 29 weeks (> 6 months) to make the top 5, eventually peaking at #2 for two weeks

 

By which point they were probably preparing to launch 'Anything Could Happen'.
