It's lush, isn't it? I was so certain IYLE would be my favourite based on the snippets, but I'd probably rank it 3rd after repeated listens. I'm not hugely keen on the verses in all honesty. (I do think it still makes the most sense as a single though).

Wait at 'Dear Lover' being my favourite after not being keen on the snippet. I actually kind of love the (admittedly trashy) drop. All three are really strong though! It'd be madness not to give one of them the single treatment.

Oo, I wasn't expecting much when the additional tracks were announced, but I'm loving the sound of this! I agree that it sounds single worthy, but perhaps they're giving Reggaeton Lento a bit more breathing space before giving it the single treatment? Does seem odd not to capitalise on the initial hype though.

48) Jonas Blue - We Could Go Back (feat. Moelogo) This is amazing and leagues ahead of his other material for me. Shame it's underperforming slightly even with a discount and good Capital airplay. I hope it still takes off.

Shame, but its longevity is still amazing. 'Friends' was released the same week and it's already down to #18.

Yeah, I agree with this. It's not bad by any means, but it's so nondescript and I've got absolutely no desire to return to it unlike her previous releases. It's a shame, because 'Chasing Highs' and her Sub Focus collab are among my favourite tracks this year.

Ah, I'm pleased I loved it from the outset. It's not quite as infectious as it once was for me, and I'd probably rate it in the bottom half of their singles discography now, but it's still a banger. The build-up to its release was so exciting, especially when it became apparent that it was going to be huge!

I love it. It's slightly dated, but it's definitely my favourite track off the album besides the singles!

This is essentially 'Attention' 2.0, isn't it? (i.e. it's shit).

I doubt it, considering 'Touch' was post-album. :P

If 'Hair' can manage platinum with a #11 peak and only moderate longevity, then RL will get there no bother imo. It's still got quite a bit of life left in it.

I don't think so, no. Last time I checked it was in the teens. Surely top 10 on Spotify is attainable now? Although saying that, the #1 position didn't help NMSS much. :lol:

Ciao Adios and Alarm were so instant for me, but this is just so so poor. Even Breathing Fire was miles better. First So Good, then Lost In Your Light and now this. What is it with new pop girls releasing mediocre singles leading up to an album and almost derailing the entire campaign? I know it's premature, but here's hoping she has a New Rules (or a Symphony I guess) up her sleeve.

Love every song ALMA has put her name to so far, so very hyped to hear this!

Yeah I echo everyone else's sentiments. I really hope this upcoming single is from a re-release rather than an entirely new project. They've been a constant presence on UK radio for over two years now, so I can definitely imagine GP fatigue setting in soon. One or two more singles and then a break until Q4 2018 would be ideal imo.

I find this remix almost unlistenable after hearing Clyde 1 hammer the original for months in work. I do like Stormzy, but his input is probably the worst of their rapper features. I still massively bop to this in general though; their Glory Days singles refuse to get old for me.

I legitimately think this may be favourite Katy Perry track now. The production is sublime and Nicki's verse is incredible. Shame it can't seem to break the top 50 on Spotify, but the fact that it managed to rebound and spend a couple of weeks in the iTunes top 10 is brilliant in itself.

'Sexual' is the only real surprise for me. I know it stuck around for a while, but I had no idea it'd done this well. It seems pretty forgettable among this list.
