I know it's a lot more basic than 'Strip', but I can't help find this a massive bop. The 'I do... think about you' part in the verses is massively infectious. Hope it smashes.

http://www.digitalspy.com/tv/graham-norton...ix-bill-bailey/ "Joining Momoa is comedian Bill Bailey, there to chat about his latest show Larks in Transit, and Little Mix, who will perform their new single 'Think About Us'." Sooo, 'Strip' confirmed promo single then? :lol: I'm in two minds about this; I massively prefer 'Think About Us' but it's clear to see how much the girls adored ''Strip', and it would've been nice to see them opt for (and potentially smash with) something more experimental. Hmm.

'Power' closing in on a million is incredible for a 4th single. Amazing to see 'Move' finally edging towards Platinum too (and DNA nearing Gold) -- both are long overdue!

'Wasabi' is doing incredibly well given how low it is on the tracklist. Hopefully that convinces them to give it the single treatment at some point! Really impressed with how well 'Strip' is holding up too.

Can you not direct the amount of energy you place into sounding off about Little Mix to something actually productive? Your posts are a stain on this forum. Was expecting a big drop off from Glory Days so not surprised at LM5's numbers. Still a very healthy figure so far. I reckon they'll manage to pip Mumford to #2.

A little disappointing but their GD's momentum was always going to be hard to maintain. Nearly 40k over the weekend is still really stellar sales!

I really can't see them keeping DNA around. It's one of their lowest selling singles and generally forgotten by the GP. Agree fully with the rest though! Can see 'Hair' staying for a while longer too.

'The Cure' is about 10th in line in terms of single choices.

Exactly. They've never been streaming juggernauts.

So pleased at how this has done in the end. Their most enduring streaming hit to date!

Yeah, I'm really confused what their intention is with this. It's not formally been announced as the second single, has it? I wonder if they're reconsidering and going for something more universal. Edit: Apparently Kiss have played 'Wasabi' but not 'Strip'?

Did you forget that 'Strip' is confirmed for single 2? :lol: Solid list though! I'd probably opt for: [1) Woman Like Me] [2) Strip] 3) Forget You Not/Think About Us (I'd love both, but truthfully I can't see it happening since they're pretty similar) 4) Wasabi 'Monster In Me' is gorgeous and it'd be my next in line, but Wasabi, FYN and TAU are all smashes in the waiting and it'd be criminal to see any of them being denied a single spot.

Surely I’m not witnessing actual, hearing people pretend that ‘Gentleman’ is anything other than hot garbage. There’s a reason it torpedoed all momentum the band had built up with WAU. ‘Strip’ isn’t my favourite song on the album, but lord the hyperbole in here. The video is gorgeous. I’m slightly obsessed with Sharaya J.

Yeah... I'm aware. I don't think it's a flawless album by any means; the lyrics are still somewhat clunky and the production definitely lags in places, but claiming 'there's barely a melody' on the album when most of the songs are packed to the brim with hooks just seems absurd. Most of the tracks wouldn't even sound that out of place on their previous offerings, particularly 'Salute', so the 'budget Beyonce' angle seems like a bit of a hot take.

I wish I liked this more than I do. It's very 'elevator music'...

Christ. Takes cues from 'Get Weird' i.e. the album that houses absolute monstrosities like 'Clued Up' and 'Weird People' (and the terminally dull acapellas)? It's legit their worst album and the exact direction they should steer clear from 7 years into their career. The 'lack of melodies' criticism is so lazy and just plain... unfounded. I can see why it would sort of apply to 'Joan of Arc', 'Strip' and 'Wasabi', but are we really going to pretend the likes of 'American Boy', 'Forget You Not', 'Think About Us', 'More Than Words', hell even 'Woman Like Me' don't have the memorable, sing-a-long choruses LM are known for? It really just feels like people are clutching at the slightest reasoning to discredit this album. See also: 'lack of cohesion' and 'too American'. They're all such flimsy criticisms.

Love 'Sunflower'. Challenging 'Better Now' as my favourite Post Malone track.

Do you reckon? For me, 'Wasabi', 'Forget You Not', 'Motivate', and 'Think About Us' are all on par with, if not better than the holy trinity of 'Touch'/NMSS/'Power'.

You're kidding, right? .. of all the criticisms. There's literally about 8 potential singles they could opt for here.

Usual brigade out in force then. :rolleyes: 'Strip' to smash. Actually quite shocked this is performing as strongly it is. I'm glad though, it's a cute bop.

Ooft, they're really spoiling us. :cheer: Thanks!

Has it been confirmed that the video for this is coming at midnight?

I pre-ordered this game and f***ing loathe myself for it. Like, it seems objectively terrible and I do truly hope it flops so none of its influence creeps into the gen 8 games, but I'm an absolute sucker for nostalgia and RBY was the first ever games I played. Having said that, I'm still beyond pissed at the amount of potential they squandered on this; a Kanto sequel with revamped routes/towns and a new Pokedex could've been incredible. Limiting it to the first 151 (plus the jizz pile and its evo I suppose) and replicating 20+ year old maps originally conceived for the Gameboy just seems so mind-boggling to me. Oh well. Guess I'll be using the likes of Persian, Sandslash and Dewgong for 150000th playthrough. Edit: Okay the party sprites are triggering my OCD. Seems as if they created new ones for anything over 4 feet yet left the others as they were. Gamefreak half-assing yet another feature of this game. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Dr4SqqUXQAE2Oim.png:large
