NMSS. :wub: It's such an injustice that is was the worst performing of the GD era singles. I reckon: 5) Black Magic 4) Power 3) LMLY 2) Touch 1) Move

Abandoning ship... because of features. Lord. It's really not that deep.

I highly doubt that. C'mon now. I really don't get the big deal with the remixes. The originals still exist. Also, 'rent a rapper' is a horrendous phrase.

Yeah, Twitter stans are being absolutely insufferable (shocker) re the Ty feature. Is replacing an essentially non-existent middle 8 with a 30 second rap really going to kill your enjoyment of the song? Christ. I imagine their team caught wind of the leak since it's not received any airplay on that Swedish station since that tweet circulated. I figured I'd play it in the background while doing my uni work to see if I'd hear the Ty version, but no luck (I've heard Zara Larsson ~8 times in 3 hours tho so every cloud etc :mansoncheer: )

I thought that myself, but it's a massive bop so no complaints here.

So apparently the single version with Ty Dolla Sign has already been played several times on Swedish radio. I'm assuming it'll be released next Friday, but it's bound to leak before then.

I don't dislike DNA but it never fully clicked with me, even back in 2012. Jesy's delivery in the second verse has always irked me. Really strong top 7 overall. I can see this being the finishing order: 7) Reggaeton Lento 6) Black Magic 5) Power 4) No More Sad Songs 3) Love Me Like You 2) Touch 1) Move

I love this. Second to only 'Fine Line' for me.

Pidgeot has a great design, but it's absolutely garbage in-game. Paltry Attack and literally 0 Physical coverage options beyond its STABs. At least it was gifted an iconic Mega Evo (which is completely neutered by loss of abilities in LGPE :lol:) I've always unashamedly loved Goldeen and still have no idea why 20 years on. Queen. Abra and Mr Mime are way too low as well.

I still adore SOTME. It's so anthemic and just a perfect representation of the 'Glory Days' era in general. It's not my personal favourite of theirs, but I'm glad it's their highest seller. Only just twigged that DNA is still in. Gross.

Thank God it won't be WLM. 'Think About Us' could really do with the promo (if it's even announced by then that is :lol:) but I wouldn't be opposed to them doing something that showcases their vocals. A 'Monster In Me' performance would be nice.

Forever an underrated BOP. <\3

I'm actually shocked at how well TAU works in a live setting. I love the song, but it's the first time I've been truly convinced that it 'works' as a single. The 'na na na na' part at the end is so infectious (watch it get cut for Ty $ Sign now. :lol:).

It was fantastic! Comes alive so much more than WLM. Two performances and no official single announcement is a bit odd though. What are they even waiting for?

I much prefer 'Grace' but I suppose it makes sense to switch it out in favour of his current single. Although saying that, I really don't see why they couldn't have kept both. :lol:

I had about a 4th wave of affection for 'Only You' when it was played in Polo the other night. Like, it's reductive and way beneath them at this point in their career, but it sounded incredible and Perrie's opening verse is undeniable. A better drop and it'd be a career highlight for me. 'Hair' to hold on for another few eliminations pls (fully expecting it to be next out).

WLM is their worst lead bar 'Wings' but it's still a solid bop. I do prefer TAU though.

Christ, can you stop with the incessant doom-mongering? I don't think I've seen you post about anything else in this thread.

'DNA' out next pls.

Yeah, echoing this. I'm not even a fan of Post Malone, but his 2018 output was all incredibly solid. 'Better Now' is amazing. 'In My Feelings' should be higher too, but I'm glad 'Nice For What' is Drake's best-performing #1 (hopefully by a considerable margin too!).

The singles chart is absolutely barren right now; most the top 40 is on ACR, so this could easily get a decent peak if they push it soon.

I'll always dislike 'Little Me' more than 'Change Your Life' simply because the former robbed so many potential single choices, whereas DNA was a pretty weak album overall. Having said that, they're both cute songs, just bottom of an otherwise stellar single discography.

Yeah, it's kind of taking the piss now. I was honestly expecting an announcement today.

'Grace'. :cheer: Pls smash now.
