Top 10 :cheer:

11. Demi Lovato - Sorry Not Sorry

03. Demi Lovato - Sorry Not Sorry She should easily get to #2, hopefully she can add another iTunes #1 to her collection.

Impressive stuff, should hit the top 10 assuming there's no sudden stop on the way! Strange to think this is Demi's first On Air/On Sale lead single, Cool For The Summer was one of the very last before they were phased out! I was expecting low top 20 iTunes peak for this initially, a little bit higher than what (I think) Selena got here (Demi seems to consistently be more of a thing here than Selena) - so this is outdoing my expectations.

Oddly it reminds me a little of Jess Glynne's Ain't Got Far To Go (but better!) :lol:

I have it too! It's no 11/10 moment on first listen like Skyscraper, Heart Attack and Cool for the Summer all were but its very solid. The chorus is very instant, although my favourite part is the pre-chorus. I don't know if the production is letting it down a bit or if its just the version I have, it feels like it should be more BOOMING. Still very good and sounds like a grower with its urban gospel sound, and Demi always makes sure her songs go somewhere and she does so again here with some big ad-libs at the end. People who aren't a fan of Demi's vocals certainly won't be a fan of this song. Rumours are the video is coming soon so I look forward to the full package. Not sure it's a major hit, but will probably do a typical Demi single of low top 20 on the Hot 100 (purely based on first listen instinct of course), we shall see how it grows! Another great single from Demi nevertheless, would give it an 8/10 at this stage - about on par with Neon Lights.

Apparently it sounds like Kehlani and also sounds like No Problem by Chance The Rapper but I've never heard either so can't comment :P

Managed to get hold of the iTunes 30 second preview so far, serving some sort of gospel urban sound in the chorus :o

I've stayed up hoping this comes out in like 3 minutes (and not 63 minutes!), new releases usually come out at 11pm ET on Fridays

I was wondering why Instruction finally got such a boost, makes sense that it has been moved to the top of the featured sections with Demi's own single coming in a matter of hours.

Ellie unfortunately seems like the most probable winner at this stage, I think she'll have the general public on her side whereas a Chanelle is going to be a hardcore fan favourite. I agree that Deborah could be peaking at the right time though, she's definitely rose to prominence over the past week or so!

The draw gods are on Ramrynia's side :heart:

YES!!! :cheer: :cheer: Thank you for the votes as always, I really hope the positive reaction so far can turn into something really special for the grand final!

You aren't in this semi dear

Instruction isn't getting a boost just because it isn't featured on Hot Songs and it is right at the bottom of the 59p songs section so no-one actually knows it is 59p unless they really go searching for it. :( Hopefully it'll get a better featured spot at some point!

Joe was awful in that interview, he's just SO condescending. It's a trait I see in everyday life, especially working in retail, that's typical to some members of the older generation in particular unfortunately, although not to the same extent. Joe reminds me of some of my older customers so much. Not to tar all older people with the same brush, but it's definitely a more common trait amongst the age group - and predictably so as they do have more "life experience".

I know Andrew doesn't think he's being malicious but he's made advances on multiple occasions towards Raph now which the latter has obviously found uncomfortable but is too nice to properly articulate it. I think it's about time a warning was given out. In other news I really like this Kieran and Deborah relationship. I could actually see them being together on the outside, you can tell the connection they have is a million times more authentic than Ellie and Sam.

Pavel has just sent his votes in the past 20 minutes and at least one of those second chance qualifiers would have changed :o, remember to read deadlines people!
