Oddly enough, they're still hammering NMSS instead, just as they were doing with 'Touch' back in March. I don't understand their inability to give two LM songs high rotation. They certainly have no qualms spamming multiple Ed Sheeran tracks.

Gobsmacked but delighted at Power taking off so effortlessly. It's so refreshing after the struggle to get NMSS even top 15.

It certainly wasn't yesterday when I purchased it. Great news.

+10 Little Mix – Hair +09 Michael Jackson – P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing) +08 Sean Paul – Temperature +07 Chase & Status Ft Mali – Let You Go +06 Pink – God Is A DJ +05 Another Level Feat. Jay-Z – Be Alone No More +04 Disclosure Ft Sam Smith – Latch +03 Shaggy Feat. Grand Puba – Why You Treat Me So Bad +02 Gloria Estefan – Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me +01 Pet Shop Boys – Opportunities (Let'S Make Lots Of Money)

7 is amazing considering it's B-list on R1 and getting only moderate airplay from Capital. NMSS is experiencing brilliant longevity too. I hope it can sneak a Gold certification eventually.

Double post, my bad.

It's been moved up to 10. :cheer:

I'm properly obsessed with this after the 1-2 punch of the video and the Summertime Ball performance. I think it would've been massive if BGT had went ahead as planned, but I still think it has a good chance of being a big hit for them. I reckon they'll discount it if it's on the cusp of the top 10; they seemed pretty intent on getting NMSS there.

Up to 28 on Spotify!

I was really hoping this would grow on me, but it's just SO basic and limp. I've never been a huge fan of WFH, but I can at least appreciate its appeal. Honestly, to me, this is just a colossal misfire. I really hope it doesn't squander all their momentum. This video's decent at least (but still a bit lacking).

I actually really enjoyed Stormzy's scenes; admittedly it did feel a little shoehorned in, but I liked the set-up, and the part with the stylists dancing behind him is adorable. I agree re Stormzy's verse in general though, I've come around to it massively.

Their best video by far for me! But I do agree with Jonjo -- a bit of choreography would have been welcomed. Still, it definitely has better replayability than NMSS.

It's only that low because of One Love. It's still outperforming NMSS massively (wasn't it out the top 100 by this point?). A discount wouldn't be unwelcome though.

Yeah, I agree. They should've tweeted as soon as the move was announced. It is a huge shame, because I imagine their entire release strategy was centered around the BGT performance. I still think it'll outperform NMSS though, especially if it also receives a discount.

That sucks -- 'Power' really could've done with the performance, but it can't be helped. The Manchester concert is for an amazing cause, and I'm glad it took precedence. (Keeping fans in the dark for a couple of days is really shitty though).

Admittedly, it had the Sheeran dominance to contend with, but NMSS fell to ~180/190 on day 2.

+5 French Montana feat. Swae Lee – Unforgettable +4 DJ Khaled feat. Justin Bieber, Quavo, Chance The Rapper & Lil Wayne – I'm The One +3 Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee feat. Justin Bieber – Despacito [Remix] +2 Shawn Mendes – There's Nothing Holdin' Me Back +1 Clean Bandit feat. Zara Larsson – Symphony -1 Jason Derulo feat. Nicki Minaj & Ty Dolla $ign – Swalla -2 Charlie Puth – Attention -3 Harry Styles – Sign Of The Times -4 Ed Sheeran – Shape Of You -5 Liam Payne feat. Quavo – Strip That Down The bottom 5 are garbage. Pretty poor top 10 on the whole.

Yas. Their last performance was epic -- hard to believe it's been three years! Bit unexpected though, considering two of them are their exes! I wonder if Stormzy will join them? Edit: On another note, I've come around to Stormzy's verse already. It does disrupt the momentum a little, but the final chorus and the chants still sound euphoric. I've heard it a couple of times on Capital today alone -- it really pops off when driving.

Jeez, 'Power' really is their most polarising single, isn't it? :lol:

#7 for a 4th single from an album that's almost double platinum is anything but a flop. It's outperforming NMSS. Edit: scratch that -- I just realised the poster. :rolleyes:

Just popping in to say that this is utterly incredible. I listened to it once a few weeks back, and it stuck in my head for days. What an anthem.

I'm on the fence about this. I don't think it's terrible by any means, but the first half of the rap is a bit clunky, and they definitely cut out some of the best parts of the original. I'd probably rank it above only Kid Ink in terms of remixes, which is a shame because I do think Stormzy is brilliant. The song remains a bop regardless.

Good to hear! It definitely appears to be helping; it's still #28 on iTunes, and actually ahead of a lot of the tracks that edged it out of the top 10.

Dead at 'Oops' being the only standard track being snubbed bar 'Private Show' (which is actually pretty odd, given it's one of the more popular album tracks). I know it's probably because of a lack of Puth, but that hardly stopped them using the remixes of Hair/Touch/NMSS. I wonder if the girls share the same disdain for it that we do. :lol: I've seen a few clips of their performances and 'Power' goes OFF live. It's the first time I could envision it properly smashing, especially if they perform on BGT. They've also made me appreciate 'Down and Dirty' and 'Nobody Like You' a hell of a lot more. They're the only two I've never revisited, but they really worked in a live setting -- particularly the former with the choreo. Edit: I forgot 'Nothing Else Matters' exists.

Personally I'm beyond sick of jumped-up, entitled fans that seemingly get off on taking shots at artists, so I can't imagine how the artists themselves feel. Good on him I say. :lol: :lol: :lol:
