Are you able to give a sales update / estimate for Baby - Clean Bandit x Marina. Sorry if I’m asking in the wrong place!

Great, thanks for this!

Sorry if I’ve misunderstood what sales you can provide where, but do you have total sales to date for Clean Bandit / Baby?

What is going on with that Hot Hits move up for Baby?! I feel like they’re trolling us. Maybe label wanted to avoid ACR?

Thanks. A shame if so! The Hot Hits curators are king.

I can’t remember where Baby entered but it must be getting close to a new peak (finally). Still not sure it’s ever going to quite reach the Top 10. Official Chart Top 10, that is.

Good growth for Baby finally. Official Top 10 is possible!

It’s going to chart around #16 tomorrow. I figure it now has two weeks to either go Top 10, or never make it. Radio support can’t last too much longer. I’d love Marina to get her first Top 10!

It’s just been updated. Baby is up to #17 which is a virtual miracle considering how poorly it’s been supported by Spotify. But it reflects where it’s at in the midweeks. Will that boost its streams significantly? Actually now think there’s a chance it goes Top 10 this month after all.

Me too! But I guess it’s still big on radio and just up to Radio 1 A List. It’s also taken off on YouTube in past few days. But think a post-Christmas official Top 20 might be the best we get.

Interesting if that’s the case, they should get him to do more promo! It’s kept up the higher view rate. Hopefully a sign this song still has some way to go.

Anyone have any idea why YouTube views have picked up hugely in last few days? It was doing well under a million a day last week, now suddenly it’s done 5 million in 48 hours.

Mama has been moved above Baby on Hot Hits UK. Game over :angry:

Anyone care to predict how high Baby is going to climb after Royal Variety performance tonight?

That’s true but streaming wasn’t much better on Fri/Sat than it was on Sunday, so hoping it can still go Top 20 this week.

Baby is finally Top 20 in the latest midweek update. How much of a boost do you think it can get from being performed on the Royal Variety tonight? I’m guessing it will rise quite a lot on iTunes.

You generally don’t pay songwriters, they almost always do writing sessions on spec, however big they are. It’s all about taking a gamble in the hope you end up with a cut on a hit song. Big producers however do charge huge day rates.

Mama is #2 on The Pop List and it’s on Today’s Top Hits. And it’s only seven places behind Baby on Hot Hits. Baby has never been on the previous two playlists. I still don’t know the reasons behind it but I do feel bad for Marina.

I still think Baby will go Top 20 after Royal Variety and Top 10 in January. It's just a question of whether radio gets tired of it just as it's starting to pick up on Spotify.

In terms of streaming numbers, Baby has grown very healthily. Today is it’s best day outside release day (and possibly album release day, can’t remember). I’m now confident Marina is getting her first Top 10 in January. Plus I reckon official Top 20 following Royal Variety next week.

Clean Bandit performed Baby on the Royal Variety show and it's being broadcast a week today, 11th Dec. Hopefully that will give it a boost? But otherwise yeah, January peak!

Baby has been moved up a bit for the second time in the past few days. It's not much, but I'll take it!

Baby has finally been moved up a bit on Hot Hits UK!

Mama had 850,000 global streams yesterday. It’s going to have a good debut.

I am so interested to see if this manages to break through in any countries other than the UK. It's not doing well on Spotify anywhere yet, but then a lot of countries are still heavily streaming Solo. It's doing really well on radio airplay in lots of places... would be really interesting if it managed to break through in the US... the one chart that includes radio airplay. Any thoughts?
