Side Effects probably wasn't a great lead... but then it did get a big follow-up with Disconnect.Never Be Alone was ok.
Outside of love I think was a bit of a mis-step for a single to go into the album with. Had Right Here, or Multiply been pushed at that point I think they may have done better. Right Here got a slight push, but had it had the focus of a main single then I guess the song may have one top 40.
Overall though its a odd one as Disconnect did give her a top 10 hit, its just the rest didn't seem to do anything in a big way. I've have dumped Side Effects as being the lead and changed Outside of Love.
I agree that had they released Right Here instead of Outside of Love and given it a proper push (with an actual music video, etc.) that it probably would've gone Top 40 and eventually been certified. The fact that it outpeaked OOL on the dance charts is actually quite a feat. Outside of Love feels like the biggest misstep from this era to me as well.

Multiply feels like the obvious choice whereas something like Swim would be great as it's slightly different
While not my favorites, agree that these would be the safest as they have the most universal appeal. Multiply has been pulling decent Spotify numbers since release while Swim is the only album track that's actually increased in Spotify streams since album release week.

This feels like it's bombedSeems as though it's all due to lack of Spotify support? Been hovering around the Top 10 on radio, Apple Music, iTunes, etc. for well over a month but has barely broken the Top 200 on Spotify. Has been high up on Shazam as well so it's clearly connecting with people. Really unfortunate.
Up to #17 in this week's midweeks so should hopefully achieve a new peak, but not sure how much further it will get.
