common denominator: they are all not the first singles they tend to release the "best" tracks as the second, third or last singles for the album sales

Thank you for the download charis! I think they charted #1 in 15 countries already on itunes and in 2019!

total Spotify plays so far 1.292 m from 1.035 m yesterday

#1 on Cyprus itunes. charis are you the one who downloaded it? lol

Back in 2000s, 2004 maybe I remember their former record label had a survey like what are the average age most of their fan base. The lads thought at least it would be 30s but the results were 40-60. That's why they have full of cover singles and ballads, that was their market. I;ve read it in a book or article before

Spotify UK #113 68k, IE #6 36k

I'm sure charis we will get more single releases no matter what. I have a feeling it's part of the deal with Universal. They know we are deprived of single releases. Their promo overseas has been wonderful so far in my observation, major TV and radio plays and promo that I have never seen before since the 2000 maybe. but I admit Syco is way better in UK promotions.

There's an article already from Metro that they have a new song called "Anywhere" by Ed and Steve. Looks like it'll be the second single. big ballad here we go 1.7m views on yt

it was a 5k sales

well those are for the other fans. when fans tagging them about their charting, they will post something about them but that's it. I will be seriously very happy if it stays at the top 10 but at this rate I know it's highly unlikely

Maybe they couldn't care less because they know it won't go to #1. Many here was predicting it will be out of top 50 or 100 right? At least it's higher than Lighthouse. I want to hear their reactions and the real reason on why did they released it on a Thursday after this. I already expected that charting but tbh I'm a bit disappointed because I think they have a bigger record deal than maybe Cheryl? I may be wrong though. I believe her comeback single was a #8 on Monday midweeks. Well fans on twitter are blaming the label already lol

Westlife’s first single in eight years, Hello My Love, has achieved the most downloads over the weekend

yup the video is not a flop at all. when I was checking the youtube trending latest mv list. most of the countries I've checked have Excuses by Olly but I noticed it was uploaded 1 week ago and have 1.6m views only, it seems to be promoted.

I think it's not the number one streak they cared about at that time but their top 3 or 5 streaks You Are was given to Westlife first but ended up to Atomic Kitten.

yes was included with Queen of my heart single but it's supposed to be a single release alone

it looks like they sacrificed that one day sale ahead for streaming interests for their future maybe in streaming and if you will observe early on media had promoted the single as #1 already on itunes.

My theory was one, it didn't match the success of Uptown Girl on its debut releases on the neighboring countries like Sweden. Sweden, in my observation, had been Simon's benchmark when it comes to releases in Europe. For example, the Ain't That a Kick in the Head in 2004, they released it as a single first in Sweden and when they found out that the peak and sales were lower than expected. They had cancelled or stopped the UK/IE release of it. Also, When You're Looking Like That leaked and it was already the fourth single of Coast to Coast in UK. he might be thinking it was too risky for them to release it and it might break their top charting streak in UK.
