Debuts at #34.

Glad this still managed to debut in the top 40 despite the Spotify f***ery. It really needs a Hot Hits add ASAP.

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?

I've loved it since the moment I heard it and vastly prefer it to WLM, but it does feel a little bit regressive and definitely wouldn't sound out of place on 'Glory Days'. But eh, a safe bop is still a bop. (That being said, 'Wasabi' needs to be next. It's legit stuck in my head constantly).

<_< 'I Would Like' and Louis f***ing Tomlinson blocking 'Touch' from the top 3 still offends me to this day. Least it outsold both by a country mile. x

Why would it? :lol: It's been pretty well received on here.

Glad to see it looks set for a top 40 debut after all! I actually think this could be a pretty big hit for them. Capital are always odd with their playlisting. They're still hammering WLM, and I've heard them play 'Hair', 'Only You', NMSS and 'Power' in the last day or two but not this. :lol: They'll probably put it into regular rotation after the video drops.

'Move' is a masterpiece and a fantastic winner. I'm still in awe that they released it so early on in their career.

Drown?

It is pretty questionable that an act of their standing can't get instant Hot Hits support. Possibly, but I don't imagine it would be track 1 on the The Pop List if that was the case.

Hot Hits has updated and no add. Ffs Spotify. WLM was removed as well.

Okay 'Black Magic' needs to chill. It's cute and I know it single-handedly revived their career and all, but it beating out 'Touch' is a mess. 'Move' would be an amazing winner.

NMSS' release was grim. I remember Capital weren't even playing it for a while and it was languishing towards the bottom of the iTunes 100. Still not sure how it managed to rack up so many sales with its relatively poor chart run. :lol: Speaking of, has Capital been playing this any? I know they gave it a few spins on Friday.

Uh oh, not looking forward to the 'flop!' brigade when it misses the top 40 this week. Actually really impressed with its Apple Music performance so far!

With the lead single, perhaps, but it’s a remix of a song that’s been available for fans to stream for months. There’ll be very little hype around it initially. Florence was on NMF.

Meh, I was expecting as much with no NMF support. Its Apple Music performance is really promising though! Edit: Lord, the way some forum members can barely contain themselves at the first whiff of them underperforming.

Stay ignorant I guess. Nah, overall. Is that even enough for a top 200 debut? What a mess.

Yeah, I'm pretty impressed with how it's performing so far. As much as I love the song in its own right, I'm mostly willing for it to become a hit to guarantee we get 'Wasabi' as a single at some point down the line. :lol:
