28! Better than I expected!

The lyrics to Walk Like Rihanna are ridiculous but aside from that I always thought it was a really catchy song and was surprised everyone else (including the band) hated it so much.

Chill. They’d make more money from Little Mix than they would with solo careers that have singles lucky to spend a week in the top 40. Jesy has learned this and now Leigh will be learning it too.

Little Mix reunion sooner rather than later I reckon.

I don't like the song (and doubt it will be a hit if DSL wasn't) and the video is fine except for the annoying interruption before the last chorus. Arghhh stop doing that! It just puts people off replaying it!

Covid damages your immune system. It literally depletes your body of T-Cells. It's more harmful to get Covid over and over than it is to wear masks in hospitals and work remotely.

Do you need to know someone personally to care about it though? There's 2 million in the UK alone according to the ONS surveys (which were stopped randomly a few months ago) suffering and that ties in with the figures out of work due to sickness (2.5 million, a new record and climbing). With waning vaccine protection, zero masks or restrictions and everyone being thrown back to the office in time for a winter surge and a new variant it seems obvious that more people will develop Long Covid. Could be you, could be your family, your neighbour, anyone. I'm not trying to scare monger but this really is one of those situations where everyone thinks it'll never happen to them and all it takes is one infection and your life is destroyed. https://www.personneltoday.com/hr/long-term...%9D%20he%20said. https://theconversation.com/thousands-of-pe...ng-covid-200297

Isn't Long Covid the issue now though? We have a record number of people out of work with sickness/disability and the number continues to climb with every update. Covid is absolutely wearing people down - just off the top of my head I know it's causing hypoxia, autonomic nervous system dysfunction, dysbiosis, endothelial damage, hyperactivated platelets, fibrinaloid microclots, vagus nerve dysfunction, impaired antibody creation, viral reactivations, impaired oxygen extraction and multiorgan damage according to many studies - and the fact we're pushing everyone back to the office to work in the middle of a pandemic/climate crisis is f***ing disgusting. We've removed all mask mandates even in HOSPITALS and DOCTOR SURGERIES where vulnerable and immunocompromised patients attend, and the government nor Public Health are doing anything to silence the anti vax morons who are blaming the rise in sickness and sudden death on 'the jab'. :rolleyes: I've posted before about my own connections to people who have been severely disabled by Covid. Previously young, fit and healthy men in their 20's who are now totally bedbound and laying in the dark alone 24/7 because they can't tolerate light or sound, can't speak and need spoon fed. 50% of Long Covid diagnoses are MECFS which is the worst disease in terms of quality of life and there are zero treatments. We SHOULD be afraid of every Covid variant because every variant is causing death and severe illness. People are developing Long Covid on their 3rd or 4th infections so don't assume because you avoided it so far that next time you'll be lucky too. That's also not taking into account the higher risks of heart attacks, strokes, diabetes, cancer etc that each infection is giving you. God, the actual state of things and the lax, careless attitudes that people have regarding a literal Level 3 biohazard that's destroyed millions of lives is astonishing.

This is a fair point but I think Leigh's second single will probably be a top 40 hit too (if she's fast at releasing it) and that could potentially boost Don't Say Love a little. She's also yet to perform on TV anywhere or do....anything to promote it much so I'd say it being top 75 in it's 8th week is a bit of an achievement. :lol:

To be honest it's not been a total flop. I'm sure it will scrape a Silver certification at least.

Meh, all of this stuff is really just PR and virtue signalling. She's been outspoken, sure, and she was part of a great documentary but celebrities really do get awarded all sorts of stuff for doing the bare minimum. :lol:

For me it was just a bit tone deaf in a cost of living crisis and since she was always the one who seemed to be pushing for the split the most, it seems like she’s just not as emotionally invested in the group and reuniting as Jade/Perrie probably are. I know it’s just one clip and she gets asked it in every interview but it’s just the optics of it. You could never imagine the other two or even Jesy joking like that.

https://twitter.com/dailylapinnock/status/1...jKExJzDaeuuUGRM Why do amazing group members always become annoying when they go solo?

Down to 65 this week.

Why do people keep saying this? Is it because Love (Sweet Love) and No flopped? Again, in the 18 months prior to their split announcement they had five Platinum singles with one of them (Sweet Melody) being a number one, and the other four (Break Up Song, Confetti, Heartbreak Anthem, Kiss My Uh Oh) being top ten. They also had a Gold (soon to be Platinum) hit with Holiday, another Silver single with No Time For Tears and the Confetti album went to number 2 and had been a consistent seller and in the top 40 for almost the entire year. They also won a Brit Award and the Between Us album has been in the top 40 since November 2021 (aside from two weeks) with their farewell tour being massive. I'm not sure why people keep making these subtle putdowns of their success and claiming they were drying up and losing relevancy just because two singles (that were their 8th and 9th in a span of 18 months and had no performances) flopped. Even them managing to scrape the top 40 at all considering the circumstances was a success. Also they were constantly in the media for Jesy leaving (one of the biggest entertainment stories of the year), her solo career and the 'fued' stuff, Leigh and Perrie's pregnancies and birth and I think it's safe to say people were sick of the sight of them and needed a break from their overexposure. Nobody can get away with that level of success and media coverage for that long and not expect something underperforming at some point.

What are these? US sales?

Yeah the song is dead. Any remixes or features should have been released weeks ago. Single number 2 out ASAP Leigh....

Do we know the sales so far?

These pics are a reminder that I would HATE being famous. (who is Zion? He’s hot)

Woo a climb in it’s 4th week!

Woo a climb in it’s 4th week!

Hopefully it sells enough to at least go Silver...

Overexposure.

Yikes. Only 3 weeks from release and this thread is dead. It's at number 59 this week.
