July 4, 20213 yr I don't think it would really make sense for a video at this point, seeing as they're focusing on upcoming music. (and TV playlisting obviously has little impact these days) Maybe just an official lyric video even then. Not necessarily just for TV playlisting but YouTube too. There are lots of unofficial lyric videos but it would be good to acknowledge such a huge hit and potential future rock classic with some sort of video. Also their fans are so eager for any content from them, a video could send the song even more stratospheric! I do get that they want to move on too though to capitalise.

July 4, 20213 yr That's a fair point actually, I'd not considered that top bit! I guess at least an official upload of a live performance would be good
July 4, 20213 yr I can understand the point in moving on but when two non singles are blowing up like this, it would be silly to not promote it to get your name out there more as we have no clue how their new single is going to perform!
July 5, 20213 yr Author 'I WANNA BE YOUR SLAVE' video is coming YESSSSSS!! :cheer: View this post on Instagram "out soon"
July 5, 20213 yr Ahh brilliant news! (would it make more sense to continue discussion in here for this, or make IWBAS its own topic now it's a massive single with a video coming?)
July 5, 20213 yr ! Great news, it really makes sense for them to push this as hard as they can, especially as it’s an original song.
July 5, 20213 yr In other news, Damiano is trending in the UK...because he had a haircut. They really are insanely huge!
July 5, 20213 yr Author Oh wow :lol: he has more of a mullet style now so a Miley collab only feels all the more appropriate :teresa: @1412058300443680770 Sooooo hyped for the video! I wonder when it'll drop? Hoping Friday @1412073199844663299
July 6, 20213 yr Author They were on Jack Saunders’ show last night on Radio 1! Interview and Damiano picked three songs to play. @1412173093481615361 @1412175319029723139 :lol: @1412174122684141572 So happy that everything is working out so well for them. They really have transcended the contest!
July 6, 20213 yr I listened to Chosen earlier, and agree with the comments that Damiano's voice hadn't matured, but there were a couple of nice songs - Recovery was good, and there seems to be a mutual respect with Ed Sheeran with the cover of You Need Me, I Don't Need You, so maybe there's a future collaboration potential there at some point? Would be a good 'in' for Ed to tap into the rock market, which he will obviously want to do as the genre has a resurgence. Then listened to Il ballo della vita, which was much easier on the ears vocally - my favourite from that was L'altra dimensione.
July 6, 20213 yr Author @1412461871224037382 Måneskin world domination :clap: ~~~ they're continuing to tease the 'I WANNA BE YOUR SLAVE' video in an MKS way... aka "soon" :kink: View this post on Instagram View this post on Instagram View this post on Instagram View this post on Instagram
July 6, 20213 yr I wasn't sure whether the Billboard rules would allow 'Beggin'' to enter the chart without it making the top 50 (that led to Lizzo's 'Truth Hurts' taking an extra week or two to make its debut for example as they seem to usually apply recurrent rules to old songs even if they have never charted before) but their rules are hard to predict as they do make exceptions so I guess they have done so in this case - great to see them impacting there, am sure this should reach a fair bit higher in the coming weeks and hopefully 'I WANNA BE YOUR SLAVE' can crack the Hot 100 too.
July 6, 20213 yr Author Just realised that it has just about outpeaked the Madcon version in the U.S. already as that got to #79 there! It charted as high as #5 in the U.K. though so that hasn't quite happened here yet
July 7, 20213 yr Stoked to see a video coming though hopefully a Måneskin soon is a bit shorter than the MKS one 😅 It’s a little sad to see Beggin rather than Slave be the one to chart but equally, how incredible for Eurovision. All of this is just so good for the Contest. It speaks to its ability to tap into the Gen Z markets, as well as more globally and it shows artists in some nations *cough*UK*cough* that this is an extremely viable career step that can lead to somewhat organic real success. This is a huge win for ESC and there seems to be a mutual respect with Ed Sheeran with the cover of You Need Me, I Don't Need You, so maybe there's a future collaboration potential there at some point? Would be a good 'in' for Ed to tap into the rock market, which he will obviously want to do as the genre has a resurgence Absolutely not Richard. We will not degrade Måneskin by having them collaborate with that talentless rat. 😡 🤣
July 7, 20213 yr Author 'Beggin' is #4 (!!) on U.S. Spotify and 'I WANNA BE YOUR SLAVE' is breaking through more now, so we may get our wish of a second hit there too, cracks the top 50 at #47 :wub:
July 9, 20213 yr I'm absolutely loving the Beggin cover :cheer: It's held its position at #7 in the charts today. It's such a flaw free slay :wub:
July 9, 20213 yr Author Yep both of their songs were non-movers this week - 'Three Lions' had such a surge that 'IWBYS' was blocked from #4 :( "it's almost time" for the video apparently View this post on Instagram Break the internet legends :cheeseblock: love them so much for wearing whatever they want all the time.
July 9, 20213 yr 3 & 6 in Germany this week with Beggin & Slave respectively. Hopefully a video for Slave can help increase its longevity! Beggin really is better than the original...
