May 15, 20214 yr The Promise and Something New can't be compared as it was a big gap in release and marketed very differently.
May 16, 20214 yr Beautiful cause you loved me was a flop but something new especially looking at it now has done fairly well for them.
May 19, 20214 yr Aww beautiful cause you love me was such a good song! Forgot about that. Loved it. I was gutted Something New didn’t make number 1 at that time - Troublemaker!!! Still, it joins the great list of songs that peaked at number 2.
May 20, 20214 yr Also compared to the already mentioned Headlines, but also MKS's Flatline or All Saints' Rock Steady comeback single. I disagree. "Rock Steady" felt bigger imo.
May 21, 20214 yr "Massive flop" is what I'd describe something like Headlice rather than this. Has this been certified at all?
May 21, 20214 yr ^ silver cert! One of their better trickle sellers too. I'd say "underperformance" covers it, #2 shows there was some interest in it even if the chart run proves it was limited but it's held up as one of their most consistently popular tracks so I don't think it was a misfire (unlike the follow-up "single")
May 24, 20214 yr Its definitely benefiting from one of their most consistent trickle sellers and its nice that it has a high peak of Number 2 aswell which on paper makes it look a bigger hit than it might have been.
