That rule will still work in Kylie's favour since 2/3 of LMs hit singles won't be applied to their album units. Though I don't think that'll make a big difference since she won't get many streaming units anyway.

LM and BMTH. Funnily I only heard BMTH as it came on after my 100th repeat of Sweet Melody or something but that's a great track. Made me wanna listen to their album.

7. Cannonball 8. Wings 9. DNA 7. Change Your Life 5. How Ya Doin'? (feat. Missy Elliott) 11. Move 9. Little Me 6. Word Up! 8. Salute 8. Black Magic 8. Love Me Like You 8. Secret Love Song (feat. Jason Derulo) 6. Hair (feat. Sean Paul) 8. Shout Out to My Ex 10. Touch 9. No More Sad Songs (feat. Machine Gun Kelly) 9. Power (feat. Stormzy) 8 Reggaetón Lento (w/ CNCO) 9. Only You (Cheat Codes x Little Mix) 8. Woman Like Me (feat. Nicki Minaj) 8. Think About Us (feat. Ty Dolla $ign) 7. Bounce Back 5. One I've Been Missing 9.5. Break Up Song 7. Holiday 10. Sweet Melody NMSS and Power would be 10s if they were the original versions.

If i am not mistaken, playlisting won't have as much of an effect on UK charts. The top 2 streamed tracks (likely the most playlisted) from each album are excluded when calculating streaming units.

This should (hopefully) go #1 on iTunes soon with the top 2 falling. Probs would already be there if they had the late performance slot :wacko:

Surely Strictly would have boosted it this week? They won't be as embarrassing as before

I thought only the rap group was good. Girl vocals were okay. The instrument group was meh, they were my favourite previously but I think that's just coz I fancy Jacob and he's one of the best vocalists. Hope they step up next week. Definitely wrong decision keeping the girl dance group imo. Even in the sing-off they sounded pretty awful.

I can't believe they've given the prime performance spot to Jax Jones instead of promoting their own single lol what is THISSS

Seems this thread is spawning some toxicity. I'm dead at someone messaging me randomly attempting to drag LM for filth ;). Is it that serious luv. Can't wait to see the scenes at release week lmao I quote: "LIttle shèts are just instagram models turned into a pop "band" by Cowell. They aren't real singers. They also haven't SOLD 50 million. They got GIVEN MASSSSIVE PAYOLA!!! by Cowell and their contacts. Streams aren't the same as actually SELLING music. They will neeever eeeever be the spice girls. Get over it." I see stan twitter is leaking.

Not this turning into a stan war �� This comment is entirely problematic but saying LM haven't had major success whilst bragging about Kylie selling 80 million in 33 years is a bit ridiculous. They're already on over 50 (maybe even 60 by now?) million in less than 9 years.

Very excited for the performance. Is it at the beginning or end? End would be better since Strictly viewers will be tuning in (if it's on yet idk).

I'd like to keep hearing the information. From what I remember you've been accurate? Don't see why you'd make it up. And we will see whether you're right/close when the numbers come in anyway. Also it's not like you're saying exact numbers and passing them off as fact. Your info doesn't cause any problems imo.

Just realised the teaser isn't in the video. Vertical video? Get that on Hot Hits ASAP.

Yeah it's #4. Amazing. Getting any higher right now might be unrealistic since it's less than half an album competing with 3 (very long) streaming-heavy rap albums lol. Crazy if it does.

It should easy debut top 20. The problem is the following days when the past singles dived to 30-40. Let's hope this is at least steady until radio/higher playlisting kicks in.

Video is a total serve too wow. Kinda disappointed with Ari, shame that it won't be something I love overshadowing them as a bit of compensation 🥴

Just realised the video teaser is trending at #5 on YouTube. The actual video should do great.

The remix is a whole bop as well Also I think they should have released a similar lyric video to the promo singles. Released that at midnight then official video in the morning. Lyric videos always get a few million views so it's worth it.

Yeah I would think labels get to prioritise placements of songs they send to playlists? This single is essentially launching the album. It should have a lead single type of push.

Dear lord. And Not a Pop Song was in the top 5 or so? What is thisss. I'm just hoping for top 5 NMF UK and a Hot Hits add that isn't in the 40s now 🥴

Sweet Melody - 10/10 Happiness - 10/10 Break Up Song - 9/10 Not a Pop Song - 8.5/10 Holiday - 7.5/10 Album shaping up very nicely to me 🤓. Kinda hoping we don't get any more songs until release though.

Funny. I've been walking around singing "he would lie he would cheat over syncopated beats" for hours now 😭 obsessed. Also love when the instrumental drops out when Jesy sings "i stopped in my tracks". I just love it. Bridge could have been a bit better but i'll forgive it

Literally. The only thing that hits harder than the chorus (especially the second half) is a sledgehammer. I don't know what people must have been expecting 😭 I even think the verses slap quite a bit. Probs my fave verses of the era. The song is a full 10/10 to me.

It's giving me the commercial appeal/radio pop of Glory Days meets the maturity and R&B vibes of LM5. And it gives me that buzz

Omg the chorus is iconic. Up there with Touch
