Defaze

I didn't even consider that! As much as I love the album, this is absolutely the right move. This campaign needs salvaged, and if TAU bombed as hard as it has, then I can't see any of the remaining tracks making much of an impact now. Poor 'Wasabi' and 'Forget You Not'; I'm certain they would have smashed if they were released during the GD era.

DNA pls.

Not me regaining internet access only to find out that this has completely bombed out of the Spotify top 100. That's truly dreadful. :lol: I think the fact that it was fully reliant on Hot Hits and its dismal iTunes performance shows that it just wasn't resonating with the public, which is a little worrisome since it's sonically very similar to their GD singles. That said, the Capital snub certainly hasn't helped; I imagine a lot of the GP still aren't even aware of its existence.

Reggaeton Lento and Think About Us are both mega-bops. The former in particular is one of their most underrated.

Wow, ya’ll really hate this era huh? This landslide for TAU is so unwarranted. I imagine it’d be held in higher regard if it was smashing. Opted for DNA again. I was never keen and it’s aged badly.

That's a no. :lol: Shame cause it really could've done with one. Its iTunes performance is kinda dismal.

Probably because there's nothing much else they can do for it. The video's been released and didn't have much of an impact, the airplay has peaked now that's on the R1 A-list (since Capital show no signs of supporting it), and it's already pretty high on Hit Hits yet seems to have stalled on Spotify. With a discount I could see it going low top 20 -- which is still a result after this shambolic campaign -- but I'm not expecting much else at this point. Roll on 'Wasabi' (or an entirely new single).

I'm a bit baffled as to why they're attending when Capital are actively snubbing them. Down to #37 on Spotify. A little concerning that it's falling already -- the optimist in me was hoping for some big gains this week with the top 50 effect/Hot Hits placing.

Preach. I low-key prefer it to WLM now. Opted for DNA again. Although it's really a wasted vote this early. :lol:

Little Things Gotta Be You Back to You

Yikes.

DNA How Ya Doin'

Queen Debbie. The fact that they even snubbed it during the Big Top 40 show is so unbelievably shady.

+1. No brainer this round.

Yas. It sounds SO good on the radio. It would’ve been perfect for a summer release.

It is a pretty depressing chart run compared to GD and GW. I just don't know what they've done to haemorrhage so much of their casual fanbase this time around?

Ah, makes sense. Hot Hits placement should help it tomorrow too!

Not this going back down to 51 on Spotify. :lol: So frustrating.

Nah, I'd say it's justified. R1 didn't bother to play the last single, and I can't imagine its relative underperformance will inspire them to playlist anything in the future. IWYTF did get amazing support from Capital, but I'm wondering if they'll suffer the same fate as Little Mix and be snubbed now that they've left Syco. I honestly can't see anything beyond a massive flop from this.

This is... cute, but her lyrics make me cringe beyond belief ocassionally. She's yet to top 'Plot Twist' for me.

My first thought upon hearing this. The intro is literally identical? (Shame the song itself is massively inferior).

If I'm remembering correctly, they didn't playlist 'Change Your Life', 'How Ya Doin' or 'Word Up' from their earlier eras, but from 'Black Magic' onwards they've always received heavy rotation pretty much instantly. Apparently they're snubbing it because of Capital's strong ties with Syco, but that didn't stop them hammering WLM, and they're still giving their older singles the occasional spin now and again. It's all a bit odd.

Not me coming around to this massively only for it to bomb out of the top 40. Not that it'll do her any harm, but I'm quite surprised it's done so poorly given the immediate support it received. Can she maybe ease off on the collabs/movie tracks until DL2 now? This era has lasted an eternity.

I'm thoroughly whelmed. The fire bunny is atrocious and the water starter looks like a Mudkip/Froakie hybrid. The grass monkey is cute at least. The games themselves don't look particularly impressive either. I've noticed random encounters are back, which is a shame, since the new approach was one the few things Let's Go actually got right.

I doubt it'll make the top 20 this week, but that doesn't stop it from doing so further down the line. The fact that it's nearly there while being outside the top 50 on Spotify bodes well. I really want to see this go top 15, it doesn't deserve to be their lowest peaking single.
