May 16, 20223 yr So proud of him. :wub: He smashed this in every possible aspect, just unfortunate that we'd have walked this in ordinary circumstances.
May 16, 20223 yr CD single for ‘Spaceman’ got released this morning :cheer: https://eurostore.warnermusic.com/uk/artist...ace-man-cd.html is this out now then ?
May 16, 20223 yr I really want Sam to release the electric guitar ending version commercially! Then again I'm still waiting for Katrina to release the version of Love Shine A Light with the trumpets, so I won't hold my breath.
May 16, 20223 yr So proud of him. :wub: He smashed this in every possible aspect, just unfortunate that we'd have walked this in ordinary circumstances. I wouldn’t say we would have walked it. We were barely ahead of Spain in the final tally and it is impossible to say how things would have turned out had the war in Ukraine not have happened. The reception since has been phenomenal, so I don’t know much bigger that could be if he did win the whole thing. Looking forward to seeing how he now impacts charts here and elsewhere.
May 16, 20223 yr Yeah in ordinary circumstances Spain would have had an even larger lead over us in the televote and won it comfortably I think. We still would have come second though I think.
May 17, 20223 yr is this out now then ? Yes, the CD is available now - they’ve not been shipped yet (My order says ‘packing for dispatch’), so hopefully they will be out in time for this weeks chart.
May 17, 20223 yr Mine was shipped yesterday, I ordered it Friday when the link was first posted here, so hopefully should count!
May 17, 20223 yr I’m guessing the physicals could be missing from the current midweeks which makes this battle all more interesting!
May 17, 20223 yr The Daily Mail are reporting that Years & Years was considered, but couldn’t with his Polydor contract. But is a possibility for next year.
May 17, 20223 yr Perhaps Hallucination would have been sent since it's less than 3 minutes and released at around that time. Obviously Regard is the main artist though but it would be Y&Y performing.
May 17, 20223 yr That features a prominent sample of Imany's Don't Be So Shy (Filatov & Karas Remix) so wouldn't have been allowed unless it was remade without the sample. I'm unsure as to how Years & Years would do at Eurovision, Olly is a very charismatic performer but some songs I just don't think would go down well, like Crave. I reckon Sweet Talker or Sooner Or Later could have done pretty well though. Edited May 17, 20223 yr by gooddelta
May 17, 20223 yr Olly is great live performer, however I don't think his TV performances come across well at all.
May 18, 20223 yr The Daily Mail are reporting that Years & Years was considered, but couldn’t with his Polydor contract. But is a possibility for next year. Thank god for the Polydor contract!! He can stay away from representing us forever tbh.
May 18, 20223 yr Based on the recent Years and Years releases it worked out well as if it had gone ahead i dont think the Eurovision fever going on in the UK right now would be happening.
May 18, 20223 yr This was the first song played at half time during the Nottingham Forest play off match last night and the crowd actually booed it, was a real WTF moment
May 18, 20223 yr Maybe they just weren't Eurovision fans generally :kink: This becoming a UK #1 would be so surreal. Can't believe it's actually likely to happen tbh. Edited May 18, 20223 yr by Roba.
May 19, 20223 yr I really hope it does get number 1, this time last year people would have laughed if someone said entering the Eurovision representing the UK could get you a number 1.
