November 17, 2024Nov 17 Author @1856729716809490909 @1857121451398381704 Ready to stream this to death on Friday x
November 20, 2024Nov 20 Author The Kristin/Idina Broadway version of ‘Defying Gravity’ is currently charting on Apple Music prior to the release of the movie soundtrack on Friday, wow!!
November 22, 2024Nov 22 Author Looks like 'Popular' is being pushed - it's song #14 on New Music Friday UK!
November 22, 2024Nov 22 Sobbing my heart out at Defying Gravity obv but I absolutely LOVE what they’ve done with Popular too, Ari sounds absolutely increidble and *that* line in What Is This Feeling!!! *.*
November 22, 2024Nov 22 Also apparently Defying Gravity and Popular will both be pushed as singles, not surprising as the two biggest songs and one for each character/actress, I think DG would need a radio edit for streaming though as it’s even longer than the original and has bits of dialogue, but then that was the case with the original and it is the centrepiece of the whole movie. Idk, obviously doesn’t matter how it does really but it will be interesting to see how it all does on streaming given the insane hype around the film and the marketing if they’re pushing the songs too;
November 22, 2024Nov 22 I've never cared for Popular but DG is really good. Can see it being a hit in a post Let It Go world
November 22, 2024Nov 22 Author Wow Ariana and Cynthia have smashed these vocals out of the park :wub: can't wait to watch all of the accompanying scenes tomorrow.
November 22, 2024Nov 22 Author I'm working from home today so just received my copy of the soundtrack on vinyl, here are some pictures: :wub: Also there is some Apple music impact already: 60. Cynthia Erivo - Defying Gravity (feat. Ariana Grande) 94. Ariana Grande - Popular
November 22, 2024Nov 22 That's a pretty vinyl. Can't wait to see the movie (although I probably will wait a couple of weeks!)
November 22, 2024Nov 22 Author That's a pretty vinyl. Can't wait to see the movie (although I probably will wait a couple of weeks!) I know right, I love the split colours :wub: Currently got Radio 2 on for Scott Mills' show and he's playing 'Popular' right now *.*
November 23, 2024Nov 23 Author The Apple Music takeover so far *.* ‘Defying Gravity’ is #14 ❤️ intrigued for the Spotify update today. The official Wicked channel uploaded this full performance and I couldn’t resist, obsessed with the choreography: amgPXKrFZVg
November 23, 2024Nov 23 Defying Gravity at #37 on UK Spotify! Popular #54, What Is This Feeling #81, Dancing Through Life #113, No One Mourns The Wicked #115 and The Wizard & I #143. I initially was disappointed at DG being there then realised there’s about 10 Christmas songs ahead and most of a Kendrick Lamar album so in chart terms it’s probably coming up on top 15 or so?

Yeah Dan estimated that it would be about #13 when factoring in OCC rules over in the chart forum *.* here's hoping it climbs tomorrow after more people have seen the film over the weekend! 'Defying Gravity' has now cracked the top 10 on Apple :wub: amazing for an almost 8 minute long musical theatre song but I totally get why it's the one resonating the most after watching the movie.
November 24, 2024Nov 24 Author 'Defying Gravity' is #12 in the first look chart :cheer: Edit: looks like 'Popular' is at #22 also
