RobynYoBank Posted June 18, 2023 Posted June 18, 2023 (edited) People do too much on Me! It was a clear play for the success of Can't Stop The Feeling + High Hopes, so it's not as if the sounds weren't relevant at the time. Cruel Summer didn't feel like an obvious hit in 2019 - always gave fan favorite that would flop if pushed as a single, like Getaway Car (except better). But now that it's entrenched itself, it seems better poised. Edited June 18, 2023 by RobynYoBank 2
Magdalene Posted June 18, 2023 Posted June 18, 2023 i don’t mean to harp on the olivia “feud” but just the sheer coincidence that the song behind their cold war picks up massive traction to become an official single just before olivia’s song comes out is the universe loves fuckery i think

I'm JAVIng Fun Posted June 18, 2023 Posted June 18, 2023 it might repeak here in my country (Philippines) It's been hovering here at #7 on spotify for a few days now.

I'm thinking Olivia will peak at no.1 for around the first 2 weeks of July, while Cruel Summer will ascend on the chart (radio + streaming push + possible video release) From the latter half of July, Vampire and Cruel Summer will battle for the no.1

Nova_23 Posted June 18, 2023 Posted June 18, 2023 there’s something to be said about watching a song gain popularity and grow organically into becoming a smash. i feel like i haven’t witnessed something like this in a LONG time if ever. 1

Holiest Dreams Posted June 18, 2023 Posted June 18, 2023 Yeah I highly doubt this will go #1 so I feel like many people are setting themselves up for disappointment Because really it doesn’t need to go #1, I mean great if it does and I don’t think it’s totally impossible, but I suspect it’ll have great longevity and maybe peak in the top 5 which is more than enough. It can still be one of her biggest hits while not going #1. We need them to push it globally though because that’s more important than going #1 in the US I think. Huge potential all over Europe, Latam, Asia, Aus/NZ and so on. 1

SweetTalker Posted June 18, 2023 Posted June 18, 2023 I feel like this might have a Delicate type of chart run 1

tonyle1911 Posted June 18, 2023 Posted June 18, 2023 I hope she gives enough push to at least for it to battle for 1 or just doesn’t do anything, let it grow organically with single treatment. Her “half-push” for almost every single after Cardigan is a bit tiring. 1
