Yeah I've lost all hope of the #1 album. :cry:

I think it’s pretty much guaranteed the drake will be above them when his album drops.

I find it hard to compare to previous singles as it sounds so different. I'm liking it so far but I don't think it'll be one of my faves from them (although it's not even official out yet so my mind may easily change :lol:)

I think it'll definitely be a grower. Im looking forward to the video also. That should bring it to life a bit more.

I'm really liking it after my first listen. Think it'll take a few plays to process the whole song. I thought everyone would be eating up a song like this.

I agree it must be annoying to have two singles just miss out on the top 10, but compared to her chart success last year I think she can still be pleased.

I'm assuming that a new single will be pushed with the album release so I guess its not gonna be that big of a deal if it hits ACR then. Although I could be wrong.

Love to see Britain so high on those stats, although still progress to be made. I wonder how these stats would have been 20 years ago?

I'm being a bit pessimistic and guessing its gonna debut in the top 15. I think it's extremely likely that Drake will have 3 tracks top 10 and it's possible that the Kanye songs will still be doing well as well. I really don't think JLS or ABBA will be an issue, but I guess It depends on what the songs are like.

I understand how the big issue here seems to be the lack of non-white representation of woman in the music industry in the UK, hence why there might not have been a prominent black artist to host a podcast of this style. However blaming the white woman like Cheryl seems a bit unfair as it's in no way their fault and anyone is free to enjoy RnB music and hence make a podcast on it. It is crazy that the UK has no successful female black pop stars though. I wonder if the root of the issue is with the music labels not wanting to take chances with them.

Rihanna - Rude Boy Little Mix - Wings Kylie Minogue - Love At First Sight Katy Perry - Part Of Me P!nk - Raise Your Glass Girls Aloud - Can't Speak French

That seems extremely odd seeing as none of the other videos in the thread are on even 100,000 views.

I think everyone is caught up in the hype for the new single. Which is a bit of a shame but I can’t blame them really.

Ah I see. That’s a tricky one. I think I’d still stick with Wings for now as using Sweet Melody for the final round seems like a nice idea.

Rude Boy is a good choice!

Maybe Wings? I think that’s probably the most popular out of those left. I’d presume you’d want to use Sweet Melody later. Is it eliminations every round now?

That elimination was brutal :lol: What songs are even left??? Holiday or Confetti???

I’m hoping that means there’s gonna be videos for all five of the new songs. I think that would be fitting so that all the tracks on Between Us have videos.

Honestly where has this budget come from :lol: Looks so good!

Wow, they aren't messing around!

All the versions are 59p on iTunes so a buying event could give it a good chance.

I'm glad it's not a ballad also. I'm so ready for a bop!

Yeah that's true. The only hope is that there are so many songs on the album that all the streams get spread out and a specific track doesn't stand out and get streamed the most.

Im not sure, it'll be close. It's had a massive climb on amazon which is why its shot up to #8. However amazon reports its data on time so there's extra sales from them, so they might fall a bit when more of the other streaming services are added in.
