It was really smart of her and her team to put IT girl in a little EP on Spotify with all the other songs she's released because Fantasy and AOMD both got a decent little bump in streaming as well!

her team really needs to drop the album pre-order by like, Monday at the latest, while IT girl still has the hype it seems to be getting right now!

25k partial day streams! for reference : @1877762692741578928

that's so exciting for jade! hopefully that means it's streaming well on spotify as well and hopefully her team will see the attention this promo single is getting and drop the damn album pre-order!

thank you for finding that! would this be the same thing as the pop charts mentioned in the quote? sorry I've never used AM, so not super familiar with how it all works! @1877705248376328225

does anyone remember where/if midnight cowboy entered on apple music? maybe not a super fair comparison since IT girl is definitely getting more of a push at least on social media but since they're both promo singles those are probably the metrics we should be comparing it to? edit; i also just bought both versions and the music video on iTunes US, which with the way iTunes is these days means it should go top 10 any minute :cheer:

I wonder if the playlisting so far was helped by pre-saves as well? I feel like the promo for this one was done pretty well, plus it looks like the fans reached out to a bunch of other artists' fan accounts and had them make edits with the snippet!

someone really needs to make a slutty tiktok dance for this so the girls and the gays can do their little hip isolations and shake their asses so it'll go viral

she always seems to do surprisingly well on Apple Music, I really wish they'd release their streaming numbers publicly!

spotify is showing this at 13k streams for the partial day! i liked the video, i wouldn't have minded if they started hinting at the climax a little sooner but overall i think it's a cute video!

spoiler for Perrie's live lounge cover (omg i hope the spoiler works)

oop, BBC accidentally posted perrie's live lounge today before deleting it, i think she'll sound lovely covering the song she ended up choosing!

i think people will probably think I'm crazy but the production and instrumental actually reminds me of a more pop-forward version of the 1975's second album. very disco but feels a bit fresher than some of the other disco-inspired tracks we've gotten over the last few years!

the production on this is sooooo euphoric!

if you liked the snippets then you'll definitely like the song, they're pretty representative of the whole thing! i like it, it's a bop! easy 3/3 for me!

Did this fall out of the top 40 today?

I agree that generic faceless pop just doesn't hit the same way anymore. I feel for Perrie because I don't think anything she's released is bad by any means, but with TikTok and how short everyone's attention spans are now, you really have to be making something that feels exciting and that's the biggest thing that Perrie is lacking. Perrie is so charismatic in interviews but that isn't translating into her music.

Yay! I'm glad she's performing AOMD as well, especially since it'll likely still be hanging around in the Top 100 by then, might give it a nice little boost so it'll stick around for a few extra weeks!

I mean, that interview did make it sound like there was still an album planned, but I thought it was strange that she mentioned she had a deadline for when she'd have to stop making tweaks to it. Surely, being on the third single means the deadline should've already come and gone?

surely she has to practically be guaranteed a performance slot on graham norton right?

I hope this means that she'll release it on or before the date of her live lounge (which I think is a Friday?)

I havent seen any numbers released yet but it has started to be added to NMF playlists, all pretty low if I remember correctly but I'll be curious to see where it ends up once it's midnight in the UK

I think it definitely makes more sense to release the second single before the live longue at the end of October, plus, it wouldn't matter as much if the second promo song got buried underneath all the Christmas music, so hopefully that's the direction her team decided to go!

I do sorta get the vibe that they're not chasing after having giant chart-topping success. Jade seems genuinely surprised at how well AOMD has done, I wouldn't be surprised if she and her team were planning to build a smaller but very supportive audience so she could sell a decent amount of albums and tour successfully. It doesn't help that having a huge single rollout doesn't really guarantee success these days, any random song can blow up on TikTok and become a smash hit, so it seems smarter to just release music consistently and see if anything sticks!

I think September makes sense for the vinyl, she's only just recorded the S.A.D version, and from what I remember vinyl is always a little backed up so you have to wait to get them pressed. I'm not sure about cassettes but the CDs definitely seem like they should be able to go out way sooner? Would love if the VMA rumor was true but just not sure how likely it is!
