:cheer: Definitely looks set for a new peak next week then!

That snippet sounds amazing! Genuinely the most excited I've been for one of their albums.

I know there's been talk of this underperforming, but I'm actually seriously impressed with their Spotify performance. They've always lagged behind massively on streaming, so for this to be approaching #5 with no promo and no MV is pretty amazing. Regardless, everything's lining up nicely for a top 3 peak/possible #1 next week! I really hope the MV's coming Friday too.

'Power' approaching a million is incredible for a 4th single. Imagine how huge it would have been had the BGT performance gone ahead! Massive yay for 'Move' too. Two of their best song for me. :wub:

:cheer: I wonder if they'll drop the video Friday to try and snatch the official #1.

This is actually really great! Will definitely be adding it to my playlist. Can I just add that 'Sirens' flopping is one of the biggest chart injustices in recent (ish... actually in awe that it was 4 and a half years ago) years. What a song.

:rolleyes: A little disappointing but still a strong debut! I imagine it'll climb with the video release/potential XF performance.

Would be lying if I said I didn't expect a higher entry for Little Mix earlier in the week, but a top 5 debut is nothing to scoff at. Here's hoping it climbs.

Here's hoping, but surely they'd have announced it by now if that was the case?

:lol: :lol: :lol: I did hear them play it today on my commute and thought it was a bit odd. Coming for that belated top 10!!

Amazing! Here comes the smash. :cheer: (Heard the R1 edit of this twice today. It truly is a mess :lol:)

:cheer: 3 mega-bops incoming.

I actually love the tracklist. 'Strip', 'Motivate', 'Notice', 'Wasabi', 'Joan of Arc' and even 'National Manthem' all have me intrigued! Love that the 'all females collabs' came to fruition, and that they've opted for relatively unknown features this time around.

It also has a TV advert airing pretty regularly, although I'm not sure if it's had that since it was originally released.

'The National Manthem' is objectively trash but I'm still perched to hear it. Salute 2.0 please girls. All the other titles sound decent enough. A lot less generic than their previous two tracklists at least.

A Live Lounge would be amazing. Long overdue after they cancelled their Xmas one back in 2015. :lol: Edit: This is back up #10 on Spotify!

I'm actually quite impressed with its Spotify performance, especially off the back of Only You's disastrous first week, but I did expect more from iTunes. I think even Reggaeton Lento stayed at #1 longer. I agree that it's far too early to write it off though; I imagine their team will do everything in their power to turn this into a big hit, especially given that it's the only single leading the album.

It's a bit disappointing after the runaway success of SOTME, but I'm sure it'll be fine in the long run. A part of me does wonder why they didn't hold off a week and recycle SOTME's release strategy, with the XF performance on the Sunday and the MV dropping mid-week. It would have been an easy #1 for them.

I actually prefer all their featured versions, bar Power (I like Stormzy but the girls' middle 8 >>>> his rap).

Looool. I... don't hate it? (MILES ahead of 'Get Weird'. I still loathe that title). Edit: the cover is gorgeous!

Yeah, I can't see it being real. I'm sure 'Motivate' was registered years ago. Like, before 'Get Weird'. I do love the idea of the album only featuring women though!

Actually somewhat obsessed with Nicki's rap in this after initially hating it. I just wish it transitioned back into the chorus less awkwardly.

'Only You' is a cute bop, but these opinions are beyond trash. Shame about the Spotify drop, but to be expected now that the initial hype has worn off. I hope it recovers soon, because you just know the premature 'flop' comments are bound to flood in otherwise. They've already started over in the chart forum.

Little Mix consistently perform better on iTunes than Spotify though.

Amazing Spotify debut. I was worried it would perform poorly since it didn't have the XF hype propelling it like SOTME, but #5 is brilliant. Hopefully it holds up.
