Perrie Edwards - Forget About Us

[SystemAddict]

Perrie ATE. Girl can SANG without sounding like the usual basic marbles gargling clone. Bussy is CLENCHED for a Jason Nevins remix.

Perrie ATE.

Each new solo release achieves the impossible. It gives me slightly more respect for Jesy Nelson.

Yes!!!!!

 

[untilted]

I do think JADE would fare better though. I mean isn’t she universally understood to be the favourite of the 4?

 

[Rowan Tree 🌳]

I feel like people are severely overestimating Jade Thirwall's upcoming solo ouvre.

I think it's high time we all just admit that Jesy was peak solo Little Mix.

 

[Kala]

This is basic. But I can see it being a hit. Radio will probably hammer it.

Jade will be aiming for the GAYS rather than the MUMS. Which probably means more critical success rather than sales, but I don’t think she will care.

The problem with Perrie’s song is that it all feels a bit contrived and workshopped to the n-th degree. It’s pleasant enough if unexciting.

 

[Jark]

this is not really for me but it does sound tailor made for radio. once the beat comes in it does become pretty catchy.

whether it will be a hit, my instinct is... not. however it may tap into that Becky Hill market?

 

[dUb]

I’m into this. Really like the chorus, and it’s clever that the song starts with it

But yeah it’s very Asda Mum

Mainstream dance very much still a thing but very clear that this is pitching for people that like Becky Hill but are also into the emerging country / folk sound that all over the charts recently.

With that said, this honestly sounds like a recent DELTA GOODREM offering that would be all over Radio 2.

 

[Pipo]

well, there's always the Massive Attack approach.

 

[Pipo]

Her and Leigh-Anne are having a BORE WAR I see.

but have you listened to Zayn's new single which also came out today?

 

[Mugatu]

I'm indifferent to the song really, it's musical wallpaper for the mums and Fiat 500 huns, but I do think it's important that it flops. We seem to have finally removed the inescapable, #1-with-everything solo artiste head of the Ed Sheeran hydra, but the songwriter is still there, drawing up twee shite lyrics for others about stealing hoodies from flats etc.

I wonder if this was just a mid-2010s Sheeran leftover actually, Perrie's delivery is really similar sounding in places.

 

[RJN]

This would have been all of US pop radio 2012

 

[Berly]

It's catchy as all hell, had it on repeat

 

[lolly]

Debuts at #15 on UK Spotify with just under 250k streams. That's pretty good, isn't it?

Dua Lipa #11 with 334k

 

[lolly]

Just checked, and Jesy debuted three places higher, but with 5.5k fewer streams.

 

[octophone]

A lot of Jesy's curiosity streams went to the video, mind you.

 

[Kratz]

This is absolutely made for Capital Radio isn’t it (‘and speaking of Ed Sheeran here’s the new one from another human speedbump, Perrie’ - repeat on the hour every hour).

It’s not bad but it is so Sheeran-coded that it’s hard to enjoy.

 

[Devil]

Oh it’s perfectly fine, fair enough to chase a hit.

Human speedbump!

 

[POP!]

Wow this is crap and I like her

 

[Dark Carnival]

I’m listening, girls. What a nothingy song.

 

[Dark Carnival]

It’s a no from me. At least Jezy was controversial.

 

[lolly]

Falls 19 to #34 on day two Spotify UK.

By comparison, Dua falls 6 to #17, and Sabrina Carpenter climbs 2 to #10.

And Jesy fell 7 to #19 on her day two.

 

[dixielandings]

I actually love it! Definitely better than the Dua track

 

[lolly]

Can a @Moderator or @Ill Advised poll this thread up, please?

 

[VoR]

Done

 

[VoR]

Dips from 15-34 on Spotify, which isn't too bad for a day two. She's off to a stronger start than Leigh-Anne, whose Don't Say Love opened at #54 and dropped straight out on the second day.

It'll obviously now depend whether it can stabilise or if it just goes into complete freefall.

 

[KindaCool]

I can't believe people had the nerve to bring THIS into Dua's thread. It's such a white girl wasted anthem...which I can still 'stan' in its own thread from afar.

DUA UNBOTHERED.

 

[Eddie]

It's a Sheeran co-write. I couldn't think of a MORE cynical way to launch your solo career.

 

[Christian]

The girl wants a hit. Good for her!

 

[lolly]

Midweek #7
Dua Lipa #8
Sabrina Carpenter #11

 

[Kala]

Midweek #7
Dua Lipa #8
Sabrina Carpenter #11

That’s surely based on physical sales. She’ll be lucky to hold on to top 10.

 

[VoR]

I don’t know if that’s more a good sign for Perrie or a damning indictment of how rapidly Dua Lipa’s career is unravelling.

 

[Devil]

Apparently the physicals haven’t been dispatched yet?

She’s been #1 on iTunes for 48 hours and given first midweeks only include one day of streaming, that will be why she is #7. I assume she will manage a good few physicals and that’ll keep her top ten.

 

[Joseph]

I give it a 6. Catchy enough but nothing I would be playing over and over.

 

[VoR]

Only down one place at 35 today.

 

[Funky]

I bet we’ve got a Sheeran duet version coming to boost those streams soon
