Was Padam already on Hot Hits Beligum and Netherlands or is that new?

Should be multiple choice. Kiss, Capital and R2 will playlist quite quickly - R1 might C list if it makes the top 15.

Id say 3 now: padam, tension and whatever the push track is!

100% agree. I think Padam needed to come first to attract attention with its slightly gimmicky presence and turn some heads but Capital and Hot Hits UK will likely playlist anything as a follow up as long as it’s another one with a dancey vibe. And I think it has really good broad appeal. I don’t want to jinx it and say it would be another 10 hit for her but I’m not going to say it probably won’t be…

How long before it’s release did Padam get teased / announced? I feel like they’ll be a bit more prepared with this one and will probably have a CD ready for the first full week of release. I’d say it would be good to have something physical for the 1st, 3rd and 5th weeks, based on how Padam did.

Yeah, I don’t think we need to count Padam’s chickens now, it’s been an amazing ride. I’m excited for Tension now, I hope we can try and create just a fraction of Padam’s success with that. Padam will still be bobbing along nicely in the background, it’ll keep bringing in decent sales; and might return from ACR on album release week.

Wow Charli held so well! Praying for top 10 this week.

Officially silver!

Can we create a thread for Tension the single yet, or are you all waiting for full confirmation?

It is a shame they couldn't have gotten it out a week earlier, could have snuck into the top 10 again!

I don’t think it’s gonna make much difference to anything other than being a little gift for fans at this point.

Won’t she already be on ACR?

3 weeks before the album is great timing, it also means if the single is on the cusp of top for example, the album release will likely push it in.

You usually get a long medley performance if you get that award

I think Kylie's residency is being announced formally tomorrow, or at least the filming of it is.

Charli moved up to #17 on Hot Hits… where was she before?

Loved both!

I think it’s fine…sure I’d want it sooner but I’m sure she’ll start teasing about two weeks earlier… At least they’ve picked the right single !

"Latest rumour on ATRL/Say Hey is that Tension is officially the next single. Was originally scheduled to release on 2/8 but they've pushed it back to 30/8 due to Padam Padam's success."

anyone want to update the opening post with all the new sales we've had?

Up to #22 on Hot Hits

Both songs are two of the songs of the year.

Was charli on there before or was she added today?

Billie has leapfrogged all the other Barbie tracks and is now 3! Barbie World 4, Dua 5. Charli up to an amazing 17 and I’m Just Ken in at 20!

You are the one who started basically calling me a liar for sharing the info I had from BMG, which I’ve been doing for years and have gotten lots of exclusive info on promo etc for the forum. Even the midweeks for the main chart forum came from my source at BMG for several years!
