The weird thing re the Baby radio / streaming debate is it’s been No.1 on Shazam for most of the past two weeks. So you’d think it’s a sign that people were liking what they were hearing and wanting to stream.

04. Baby Is this the Heart FM effect? Was outside the TOP 10 on Friday.

Where can we hear it?!

05. Baby Interested to see what UK promo they have lined up for album release this week.

06. Baby Gonna be a gulf between its sales position and its streaming position this week.

Question - Solo is currently Top 100 in about 25 countries on Spotify. How well was it doing internationally after a few weeks? Just wondering if Baby's relative lack of traction on Spotify worldwide is a sign of the song not connecting, or if it's totally normal at this stage. You'd *think* this has international hit potential written all over it!

It's definitely not hitting the public in a big way! But feels like the decision not to promote on playlists like I Miss You has only added to that.

I’m waiting one more week to see if Baby gets Radio 1 A List and playlist support for album release week. Otherwise I really think it’s someone at Spotify or even at the label with anti-Marina bias.

Baby is definitely not looking great, but there’s still a chance with all the album promo in a week’s time, Royal Variety performance and let’s see what the label can do with Spotify playlist support. Haven’t quite given up yet!

Baby is stuck outside the Top 100 despite strong radio support. It’s not looking good for it at this point...

Can anyone with more knowledge of the Shazam charts than me tell me how promising an indicator it is that Baby has been #1 on Shazam for the past four days. Does it usually signify that a song is going to get a decent official chart placing? Or can it not always translate over?

I reckon that Shazam result plus the fact that it's the lead single for an album stuffed with hit singles, and is about to get a major label push, means it's looking pretty good right now.

I think you might be onto something. It's currently #1 on Shazam despite its low chart position.

Baby up to 10 :cheer: the radio support is starting to kick in.

Bit of a tumble for Baby, down to No.97. Hopefully it starts connecting and building streams now that it has charted. No.5 on Shazam is a good sign. Radio 1 need to playlist already!

It’s been added to the Radio 2 A list and has entered the Shazam Top 10. Hopefully it’s time has come!

Baby is climbing, up 20 places in the UK Spotify chart... here it comes!

Great!

Baby has slipped out of Top 100 :( Really want this one to take off, hopefully it will be added to Hot Hits soon...

How regularly is Hot Hits UK updated?

Yesssss, great news! Thanks.

Need this to hit UK radio and take off!

Can anyone explain what this song's chances now are of getting added to the Radio 1 / Capital playlists? Is it bad it didn't get added instantly? I know some of Clean Bandit's past hits did, but not all of them? What are the factors that will determined whether radio takes it up? I really hope it gets a chance to be a hit in this country!
