Hallucinate

I’m surprised how much it’s stalling on Spotify. It most likely won’t make the top 10 this week. I don’t think it will next week either, as there will most likely be 3 Ariana tracks in the top 10. There isn’t a big ACR clear out coming... then it will be the Christmas tracks pushing everything down. So unless it starts really climbing on streaming I’m doubtful of a top 10 peak.

Levitating #1 on the Today’s Hits playlist and has risen to #16 of the back of that. So it may just sneak in the top 10 this week.

Levitating is #4 on Hot Hits - why is it still so low on the Spotify chart? Maybe a bit of Dua fatigue.

The reason for One Last Time being #1 is heartbreaking, but it also feels right that it’s Ariana’s best seller. BUWGIB is such a non #1, there were much better single options on thank you, next.

Surely she has not wasted an Ariana collab on AIWFC, it already went #1 in America last year, which let’s be honest is all Mariah cares about. A new Christmas song with Ariana would be much more exciting.

Not Giving Up by The Saturdays. I think it was signed, pretty sure they did signed CD singles for every release.

It’s so frustrating that they are letting this era die! A #1 single in the UK and US with no follow up? I don’t care if it’s a post-album single, a new song tacked on at the end, a deluxe version... Just do SOMETHING.

It’s beyond annoying. I don’t know why labels are not trying to resolve this as it must be frustrating that most album campaigns are over the day the album is released.

Wouldn’t be surprised if they are snubbing it as they already added the Madonna/Missy remix to NMF.

Soooo.. This isn’t being sent to radio in the UK? Ugh, this feels like G.U.Y all over again - great video, awful rollout.

Sadly, I think it’s game over for Hallucinate. It’s not increasing on Spotify, even with Hot Hits support and it’s decreasing on iTunes and Apple Music. Time for Levitating.

Really poor showing for Katy’s album and an even poorer showing for Dua’s remix album :(

I find it so strange that Take You Dancing, Hallucinate and the Jubel cover of Dancing In The Moonlight are STILL not being added to Hot Hits UK. I mean they are all firmly in the top 40, so they are hits?

Yeah, they seem to be more cautious adding stuff at the moment, they only added WAP once they saw how much it was climbing, so I assume it will be the same situation for Midnight Sky.

Hallucinate update: iTunes: 7 Apple Music: 45 Spotify: 62 :dance: YouTube: 68 Should easily be top 40 this week.

It’s interesting that a few songs are doing really well without Hot Hits UK support. Hallucinate #74 What’s Love Got to Do With It #66 Take You Dancing #64 Dancing in the Moonlight #30 I assume these are all being boosted by the Summer Hits UK playlist or TikTok

Don’t think so, it’s showing signs of potential. Her team should be pushing to get it on Hot Hits.

A little Hallucinate update: iTunes #10 Spotify #150 Apple Music #78 YouTube #52 It’s doing really well on Spotify without any support from Hot Hits UK or Today’s Top Hits.

Not a bad start. It’s currently #17 on iTunes and has been reduced to 59p. Good to see the label are doing all they can. Spotify’s obsession with only play-listing newly released music is infuriating. Harry Styles current era has shown you can have success with multiple post album singles - if the playlist support is there.

Another update and it’s still not been added to Hot Hits. Are the label able to ask for it to be added or swapped out with Break My Heart? Or is it purely up to Spotify?

Hopefully thinks pick up next week, as this feels like a very slow start - with the animated video (unsurprisingly) not doing big numbers, minimal radio airplay and it’s not been added to Hot Hits.

1) Born to Make You Happy 2) (You Drive Me) Crazy 3) Sometimes 4) ...Baby One More Time 666) From the Bottom of My Broken Heart This is based on what I find myself listening to now. Baby is iconic, but I don’t find myself listening to it as much as the others. I don’t think I’ve ever made it all the way through From the Bottom of My Broken Heart.

Great that In Your Eyes has avoided ACR. But we need everyone to buy and stream Break Your Heart this week! It’s not ready for ACR.

I would love to know up-to-date sales for Boys, I Love Rock N Roll, Don’t Let Me Be the Last to Know and Break the Ice I wonder if any (or all) of them have passed 100K

Do we have any recent sales update for Britney Jean or Glory?
