Holiest Dreams Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 I think we’ll get a proper video for this after that speech last night, if she really loves it that much. I doubt one was shot way back when but she‘s probably on it as we speak. Ideally she will drop a live performance video from the tour (presumably different footage/show than what’ll be used for the tour film), which will probably do even better than a proper video would. Then drop the video in August, which is probably when the song will peak in the US and be closest to #1 (if it ever gets close). I’ve always imagined a 70s/80s inspired neon music video. A scene where she’s driving down a desert ride in a convertible midday, a scene placed outside a vintage style motel with neon signs, a vintage diner. Perhaps a pool scene as well, and obviously an obligatory garden scene. I don’t know exactly why but that’s just what I’ve always pictured.

I doubt she filmed anything back then (she probably would’ve started in March/April if not for COVID) but had ideas, if not a mostly full video treatment floating around. If that’s the case it should be much easier to get things in order to film one soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then those that did decide to list to the album pressed play on track 1 and heard IFTYE The 3 worst songs on the album I'm a casual fan and the combo of Me + YNTCD killed all my interests Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me it was supposed to be MAATHK, PR and DBATC and of course CS as the lead. (FS is the best song on the album but not a single material) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolf Alice Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 Cruel Summer debuts at #18 on pop callouts (this is very good for a song that hasn't cracked the top 30 yet) Here's the very good news - most of its radio play is concentrated in the N East of the US so far due to the tour. And it's performing well in that region so it's just a matter of other regions picking it up NEast - #3 Midwest - #34 South - #18 West - #24 For comparison, Karma is at NEast - #9 Midwest - #16 South - #16 West - #12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it’s really on ACR? I assume they just put anything that’s older than a certain mark on it by default, because it only charted one week. They removed LH without it jumping 50%+ in sales so I assume they’ll just go ahead and do it this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not 100% sure, but I assume every song that's older than 10 weeks gets put onto ACR, and gets taken off it if its streams increase by a certain amount or if the record label ask? I'm from the UK and even I don't fully understand how the chart rules work. Edited June 19, 2023 by Heartbreak Prince Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popboi. Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 It’s not on ACR in UK, no song that has charted for less than 10 weeks can. However, since it’s older than 3 years, once it is under ACR, the label won’t ever be able to request it to be put back to standard streaming ratio so it would be on ACR forever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
