Cotton Posted March 24, 2023 Posted March 24, 2023 So it’s #38 on AM UK R&B but that’s pretty low on the overall charts considering on the #1-#5 are in the top 200 but either way they were never going to have a big debut (Cardboard Box only touched top 50 after about 6 months). It’ll work it’s way up, also it hasn’t even been 24 hours

I don't know much how it works in UK, but if they want to hit in US, AM playlist will be essencial for this.
Kristen Posted March 24, 2023 Posted March 24, 2023 Good lord, *please* let this smash for them! Absolutely sensational.
Cbreezy Posted March 24, 2023 Posted March 24, 2023 (edited) Willing them a win. It's deserved but also needed. As someone who equally enjoys both the stan and commercial spaces, they seem to have the former on lock but it's yet to translate into success with the latter. Put simply, they still don't really chart and early indications aren't so strong for this song (just yet). They clearly have a lot of buzz and the label have pumped in more budget to this. It gives "lead single from the official album campaign" vibes. All of those accolades from last year (Brits, BBC, etc) create a lot of internal and external expectations. From the label to fans to fence-riders. If it doesn't start to translate commercially very quickly, I worry they may become a "they were on the road to big things, but..." situation. At the moment, their scenarios feel like they could land on ONE of the following very different outcomes: * Still organically building towards that ONE breakout moment/hit and they zoom straight to the top straight after. * Internet hot, but struggle to ever really sell / crossover. All the groundwork establishes them a nice touring audience, but ultimately a group version of JoJo / Tinashe's niche-internet standing. * The 411 (UK Group) 2.0: Buzzed about but end up fizzling into a "remember them?" because of not finding a big enough audience to sustain the weight of expectation. * Wildcard 1: one of the next big MPGs exists within the group currently and their breakaway/breakout moment will be the sole "success" angle of the group's existence. My bet would be on Jorja. * Wildcard 2: We're still in the preliminary stages of their story and true success is on the other side of a label and/or management switch. Essentially, the Sugababes 1.0 to 2.0 story. Only issue with this is that the label and management seem to be doing everything right so far, so not sure what's not connecting fully. All this conjecture aside, I'm rooting for them. Edited March 24, 2023 by Cbreezy

Dr. Alexander Posted March 24, 2023 Posted March 24, 2023 Considering they have signed with Republic Records, it will only be a short period of time before they take off. These other artists who have debuted within the past ten years in R&B are in trouble. They have been selling a watered-down, soulless, and uninspired version of R&B to the masses for a long time. Now that the true sound and feel of the genre is returning with FLO, the public will definitely assimilate to them and it’s either going to A) force recent artists to switch to this sound or B) leave many R&B artists behind.
Lost In Paradise Posted March 24, 2023 Posted March 24, 2023 should be a cute lil UK single for them. I don't see them blowing up in the US though. they'll be like a R&B version of Little Mix with occasional top 20 hits in America
