March 19Mar 19 Liking the sound of that, think it could be his best in a while if the full song lives up to the clip!

March 22Mar 22 Even if it does sound like a hit it’ll be interesting to see if he gets a hit as there’s a feeling there’s no demand for music from him like there was pre 2022!
March 22Mar 22 It will be interesting to see how this does for sure I saw a clip on TikTok it sounded good

March 23Mar 23 This sounds a lot more like a hit than anything from - did, or what I heard of Autumn Variations (never did hear the full album), so I wouldn't be shocked to see it do well despite a bumpy run post-Eyes Closed (and even that wasn't huge on the level of his past few leads).

March 23Mar 23 I can see this being a hit of a decent magnitude but maybe not the multi-week No.1s he used to enjoy. It certainly sounds catchy enough, if a bit late 2010s in the production style.Equals was only four years ago and spawned two mega No.1s (plus the two Christmas single No.1s later that year too), but may as well be a lifetime ago for the goodwill he squandered by putting out Subtract (which I still love tbf - very underrated album) and Autumn Variations (which wasn't very good, and a bad idea that damaged his brand a bit imo).But Eyes Closed did get 10 weeks in the top 10 only two years ago, so it's not like that single in itself was a flash in the pan despite the No.1 week having a big physical push.I would envisage a long-running chart hit for Azizam that maybe peaks in the mid top ten, but it's impossible to tell and only a fool writes off Ed tbh, so it could well go higher. Who knew that his Tour Collection album would eventually go to No.1? He finds a way through, and the re-release in the quietest week of the year was genius. Ed knows how the charts work better than any other major artist imo and makes full use of that knowledge.I think Ed's problem on the singles chart going forwards is going to be his popularity with age groups that will increasingly drive TikTok and therefore the charts. He was a popular artist with late millennials and older Gen Z, but I doubt very much that he is massively popular with Gen Alpha. Not sure it's just a getting older thing either (all pop artists naturally lose some fanbase as their audience get older too and move on), because Taylor is older than Ed and is loved by many kids, I just don't think he managed to make that transition fully (yet, anyway) - and squandered some critical time away in helping make that transition with those two poorly received albums. Had he released another pop album in 2023 when the goodwill was enough to even get Eyes Closed to No.1, then I think it may have been a different story.But he'll always be massive on the tour circuit - he could tour massive venues for the rest of his life just singing his 2011-2023 hits if he wanted to.

March 23Mar 23 I'm hesitant to use his 2023 albums as a marker. They seem like they were passion projects for him. He didn't push them as hard as Equals either. His fanbase may not be heavy on "stans" but I think that's a good thing. He still has a significant amount of people streaming his stuff.
