Defaze

How on Earth is 'Hair' third? Last I was aware it was on ~700k. Unless that figure for 'Breathe' is wrong. What a list though. *.* So many absolute bangers. No hesitation in saying that 'Got 2 Luv U' is one of my favourite songs of all time.

About time. :cheer: Really willing for this to be a hit now. It deserves to be for that last 30 seconds or so alone. Whew, a bop. The whole video situation is still a mess though. Hopefully Friday (along with a discount).

Yeah, it's really disheartening and something's obviously amiss, but I'm holding out hope that they're waiting for the video release to begin properly pushing this. I'm just struggling to understand why they'd fork out for a single mix, only to let it flounder outside the Spotify top 200 for weeks on end while barely acknowledging its existence. This really could've been an instant smash.

What do we reckon then, video tomorrow? Or is that just wishful thinking at this point? :lol:

Well, at least we know it's actually coming I suppose. Monday seems like a safe bet.

Nice, it's actually the best vertical I've seen video (which admittedly isn't many :lol:). Love the dancing! Surely a Hot Hits add is due next time it updates (Monday?).

:lol: :lol: wow. At least it means a Spotify push is imminent... surely?

I don't imagine so, they're still playing WLM and give their GD singles a few spins now and again. They're always a bit odd with their playlisting and constantly jump on things late. They'll likely hammer it after the video release.

It's not so much the fact that it's not taking off that's frustrating me (it's performing decently given the circumstances), it's more that... nothing's happening. The radio response is so muted and the fact that it's not managed to secure any relevant Spotify placements is alarming. At least with NMSS, they'd already had two monster smashes from the era (+ radio were still hammering both), and the parent album was still selling amazingly well. I do think the whole 'cut the era short' narrative is a bit premature, but none of this bodes well for future singles, which is a shame because the likes of 'Wasabi', 'Monster In Me', 'The Cure' etc are begging to be released. Edit: Oops, pretty much just reiterated what the above two posts said.

I just struggle to see why they went to the effort of recording a single mix with Ty, only to throw it out there with nothing supporting it. No NMF, no Hot Hits, no Capital airplay, no discount, no video, and not even a single tweet alluding to it all week. This should've been such an easy hit for them. (I hope to God they aren't waiting for the Brits to release the video after all. That would be a dreadful tactic).

*pretends to be shocked* The level of apathy they seem to have towards this single is a bit off-putting. I hope it at least gets a Hot Hits add this week, otherwise it's just going to languish in the lower end of the top 40 for weeks (if not drop out entirely).

That does make sense, although I reckon we would've at least had an announcement by now if it was out at midnight.

Where’s. The. Video?

She's already apologised. Twitter fans are just being insufferable as usual. I'm fine with the collab in all honesty, it's cute that they're giving her a platform and her Twitter response to the announcement was really sweet. And like Joe mentioned, it at least means no Nicki (and hopefully no WLM performance).

In fairness, I don't think it's been updated since Friday, has it? Still questionable that it wasn't added before then though.

The fact that they themselves don't know when it's out is a disaster. RCA are truly trash. Edit: Not addressing the delay on Twitter in any capacity is a disgrace.

That would be a bizarre tactic given that no one outside of Holland or their core fanbase are going to be aware of the performance. I wouldn’t put it past them though.

Debuts at #34.

Given that it's now 4pm, I'm gonna assume that this isn't coming today afterall. Not even a tweet regarding it is pretty appalling...

Yeah, not to pile on the negativity, but virtually no Spotify and very little radio support is an absolute mess given how instrumental they are to a song becoming a hit. Literally no one knows this is out there beyond the fans. And the video not being out when slated is just the cherry on top. C'mon now, this era really needs to recover and it sure as hell isn't going to with this approach.

oh. I wasn't expecting that after the insta-add. This campaign is... disheartening. The video's dropping at midnight, right? Their MVs always have a massive impact.

Sandshrew > Sandslash is my favourite gen 1 evo line, so I'm sad to see them both crashing out in the 90s. Sandslash is adorable for a fully-evolved mon. Dewgong (lol) or Scyther to win. :cheer:

I’d honestly prefer Ty to the Spice Girls. I’m... really not a fan. Would the girls even want to collaborate after Mel C’s comments about them in the past?
