Defaze

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.

Both Post Malone songs are wayyyy too low, but 'Sunflower' in particular is one of my favourite hits of 2018. Looool at 2002 being dead last. Heinous song.

The extended mix of 'Word Up' goes OFF. Shame it's last place again, but not surprising given that the girls don't really have any total duds (well, released as singles anyway).

They've filmed a video. And they're hardly going to abandon the campaign after one (successful) single.

It makes sense to wait it out. Christmas songs weren't nearly as dominant when 'Touch' was impacting. Even with radio airplay and Spotify playlisting, I doubt TAU would've even impacted the top 40 the past few weeks, it would've just got lost in the shuffle.

Hahahaha bye Anne-Marie.

It's... a bit of a mess isn't it? 'Touch' was everywhere at this point in the GDs era. I can kind of understand why they're holding off now with the Christmas song influx, but they really should've announced the second single weeks ago.

Amazing news, congrats on finally seeing them live!

It spent 9 weeks top 10. Plenty of people liked it.

Not to pile on the bad news or anything, but WLM also looks set to drop out the top 40 after getting hammered by ACR. :lol: Might return in the New Year but yikes.

Only just caught up with Graham Norton. They looked and sounded incredible -- definitely eclipsed any of their WLM performances. They sell the heck out of every song, and it definitely helped TAU 'click' for me. Shame it didn't do much for it, they really ought to get this on radio/Spotify playlists ASAP. It's kind of shocking to see how they've treated this versus 'Touch' two years ago.

Jess Glynne's doing well, but even she's seen a big drop off from her first album. The album chart in general looks absolutely grim right now.

Oh wow, that's pretty dreadful. This era in general has been... disheartening. The music's good and that's ultimately what matters, but the commercial response has been so tepid. I can't at the prospect of this being their lowest selling album (along with 'Salute' -- by far and away their best offerings). The GP suck. Edit: It's actually reminding me a lot of the Ellie Goulding situation post-Halcyon. She was huge for a moment and looked set to build upon that hype, but 'Delirium' opened to disappointing numbers despite 'On My Mind' being a hit, and the era never really recovered. Let's hope LM push more than two singles; I reckon 'Monster In Me' could really sell the album.

Iconic top 3.
