July 4, 200817 yr After the amount of money & hype spent on this new act by their record company, the "surprise" would be if this single fails to go Top 3. Anything less would be a disaster unless it is able to hang around a while in the top 20 for two or three months. Still the great thing about this record is that it/they have been talked about on Radio 2 but in negative (Sigue Sigue Sputnik, Girl Thing) terms, most noticeably mentioning the song it has sampled which has led to both Radcliffe & Maconie and Chris Evans to play the seminal Yazoo 1983 dance track (Situation) USA#1 Dance chart from where the synth sample comes from. I think the criticism of it is unfair. Yeah, the Yazoo original is superb, but they (or whoever is in charge) have done something different with it. I think it stands as a really good pop record. Having said that, I can't see it making the Top 3, sadly. Hope I'm wrong

Hope I'm wrong I agree, it is an excellent pop record regardless of where the sample comes from. Why would the average young pop fan have any idea that this song uses a sample from a record made 5-10 years before they were born?
