That level of honesty is so refreshing and is one of the reasons why I really like Perrie. You can tell she's aware of the criticism her solo career has garnered and it must affect her considering how badly she struggles with anxiety already. I'm not really happy with the amount of people on Twitter criticising her for saying she doesn't want to get involved in politics (or something) and comparing her activism to Jade. As mentioned Perrie has quite severe anxiety and if she's more comfortable just singing bops and keeping things safe PR wise then that's well within her rights to do so. Some people aren't comfortable speaking out about issues or drawing attention to themselves and that's fine. You just have to look at the media coverage Jade got for her anti-JK chants and how so many people in the comments attacked or ridiculed her.

Listening to this now. Strong start with the first few tracks! What did everyone else think?

Legal reasons? That really sucks. Some of them were so interesting to read. Especially the reactions to the Nicki/Cardi drama in the LM5 thread and then the reactions to Sweet Melody/Jesy leaving etc in Confetti. Thanks for answering.

Is there another single coming soon? Crazy how all the festival hype and promo has died down now, we're still a month away from the album and it's just total silence.

Speaking of Popjustice have all their album threads (besides Get Weird) been deleted?

#63 on Shazam!

28 on iTunes. Surely it's gotta be doing some streams somewhere too?

#70 on Shazam now!

It was 58 on iTunes yesterday and 95 on Shazam the other day! I wonder if it's enough to hold on to a top 100 position. gossip iTunes: #43 United Kingdom Shazam: #77 United Kingdom

Kelly Clarkson Show?

It would be nice to go top 100 so it could officially be Confidence Man's most successful single here at least. Maybe the Jade fans on Twitter can arrange a download/streaming party or something to help it chart? If anyone is on Twitter?

Up to 2.7M monthly listeners!!

AOMD (I really don't think she (or anyone) will top AOMD. Just an absolutely incredible, well crafted, original pop song full of unique hooks and switch ups. ) FUFN (should have been 2nd single, a classic huge overproduced, messy, noisy pop anthem) Plastic Box (stunning, but bad choice of single at this moment in time when she really needs something more 'loud' and 'bratty' to save the campaign) It Girl (the 'I am the it girl' part is ridiculously catchy and justifies being a single but the rest is kinda demo'ish) Fantasy (great song but salty it killed her momentum) Midnight Cowboy (kinda boring and also salty it killed her momentum) God, if they went AOMD > It Girl > FUFN > Plastic Box without Midnight Cowboy in the mix things could have been so different chart wise.
