Dave is releasing a new song on Thursday at 8pm called Starlight. Given his name power plus how low sales are with Bruno looking like it’s off to ACR, could this debut at #1 officially?!

Would 6pm not make more sense for a HR slot,?

Well it must not be a Hottest Record then :P

Quite shocked at that but maybe it’s due to the status of the single….

Likely to get its first spin during Target's show on 1Xtra then

I like this, but it doesn’t sound like a number 1 to me, there’s not a huge amount to the song. That said, we’ve had worse at #1 in the past so wouldn’t be a bad thing.

It's quite a good song but I agree it doesn't sound like a #1. The sample is very TikTok sounding imo!

I really like this - it's got a lovely background which I'm annoyingly trying to identify as it sounds so much like another track(s). Hope it gets to no.1, n just 1 hour on YT it's not far off Arrdee's newie had in 2 hours

It's nice to hear a lighter song from Dave after how deep and serious most of his recent album was.

 

It's a much better song than 'Clash' anyway!

Fly Me To The Moon by Frank Sinatra.

Thanks! And sounds like this version of it

This is great! I'm here for a more uplifting era from him after the heavy stuff of the past 2 albums!

Wow I did not expect a Dave single heading to #1 to sound like this at all!

 

Not as instant as Clash (which sounds more like a #1) but I think it's subtlety will mean it'll be a slow burner.

I usually like Dave's tracks but the sample really puts me off this, its just too sweet and generically TikToky sounding imo.

 

Dave should have sampled Supermen Lovers - Starlight instead!

I really respect him and like him as a person, and I definetly think he's talented but this is just really boring? Maybe I'm missing something lol.

Totally agree, not sure what there is to like about this. It’s just… nothingy. Yay I guess for it preventing ‘Peru’ from getting to #1 which is also pretty dull and I’m happy for Dave to have another #1 to add to his tally, just would rather it was with another song. :(

 

I’m also struggling to hear Fly Me to the Moon in it?

The humming throughout the song is to the tune of it.

I know but I can’t make out any of ‘Fly Me to the Moon’ in that humming.
