My talented king 

This must be the video he filmed by the circus tent. Inch resting... they probably had plans for this to be a real single earlier on. Also weird bc he already "filmed a video" for this with James Corden already which was cute lol

Nah, I think it's just a video to close the era. He did the same with TPWK.

 

Also Daylight had a video already, and they wouldn't have joked and release a fake video if they were planning to release a real one as an actual single. Late Night Talking was filmed at the same time as As It Was and Daylight (which is the same thing he did with Watermelon Sugar/Falling/TPWK)

It's not a single

FINALLY. He knows how to treat his fans 

I need to revisit the album. I played the hell out of it.

Releasing MFASR as a single was the biggest mistake of the era.

Fine Line had 3 singles in the US (Adore You, WS, and Golden), and 5 in the UK (Lights Up and Falling). TPWK was not a single. A music video =/= a single. It wasn't sent to radio nor promoted in any way. It was just a throwaway video to end the era.

No single would've done anything at that point. AIW and LNT were (and still are globally) doing amazing. Plus, he refuses to properly promote his post album singles, so it's unlikely any single will take off.

Satellite is still doing 800K+ daily streams and they never officially sent it to radio. It was just added slowly by more and more radios, but it never took advantage of the momentum (it was doing 1M+ daily streams shortly after the video). The fact that Late Night Talking was a hit with this approach is a miracle.

about time

I hope he gets more involved in promo for his next era, but I think I'm dreaming unfortunately.

You and me both. We care 100x more than him about his own chart success. The fact that Falling was never a single in the US and Matilda never a single anywhere keeps me up at night

To be fair - Late Night Talking went for Pop radio adds in the US on June 21 and Satellite went for Pop radio adds in the US on May 16. I feel like they've done nothing since then to help promote Satellite.

They didn't even playlist it. It's a travesty. How do you have a song that rises to 1M+ streams a year after being released just by releasing the music video and not even playlist it properly. I know they have a minimalist approach with his career and that it paid off for the most part, but sometimes it's frustrating because they take it too far.

Matilda is doing 600K streams with zero push whatsoever. Sushi, Satellite, and Matilda all could've been minor hits with the slightest push and they just... did nothing.

Yeah playlisting would've definitely helped and maybe some sort of live performance. I feel like if they did that for Satellite it would've been back in the top 20/30 of the hot 100
