GAYLE - ABCDEFU

[VoR]

Likely to be the first #1 of 2022. Bit basic, but mildly fun.

 

[dUb]

Worth mentioning this "blew up" on TikTok

Hopefully the same can happen with Where My Girls At? by VENUS

 

[VoR]

I tend to assume that all #1s not by Adele or Ed Sheeran 'blew up on Tiktok' these days.

 

[RJN]

So annoying!

 

[POP!]

I made it about 15 seconds. This is already quite huge in America.

I love that this started as a suggestion by one of her followers - something like "write a song around the alphabet". It's good fun, catchy as anything and I hope she's got some follow-ups in her a la Olivia Rodrigo.

 

[Kratz]

I quite like it!

Apparently “the follower” is actually her marketing agent and works for Atlantic… the record label GAYLE is signed to. Organic.

 

[Jark]

I don't care how it came to be. it's quite a good song - I mean if Good 4 U can be massive, why not this?

 

[Jark]

everybody but your dog, you can all fuck off

 

[COB]

Great that she's back, but it's not the same without Gillian there too

 

[Pipo]

that video + song encapsulates everything I find about gen Z hateful.

Well, fuck.

 

[COB]

It's Sandi Thom and her viral webcasts all over again

 

[funky]

Ha, is that the Tik Tok equivalent to when Leona Lewis, Alexandra Burke et al were "discovered" on X Factor?

 

[RJN]

I heard this on the radio and it was changed to "ABCDE-FORGET-U" and it somehow made it even worse and also nonsensical

 

[POP!]

OK I quite like this now. WHERE IS THE ALBAM?

 

[Cerro de Casa]

I like the song. The video is the worst though.

 

[Jark]

UK #1!

 

[Cerro de Casa]

Queen Of Pop!

 

[Jark]

[RJN]

I already like this new one more

 

[Jark]

QUITE GOOD

[dUb]

[RJN]

not marked Explicit but IS!!!

Someone think of the CHILDREN!!!

 

[FetchFugly]

I don't mind it but it is very Teenage Dirtbag to my ears.

 

[POP!]

Is the second single going to do anything? It's gaining slowly at US pop radio:

 

[Jark]

5m streams on spotty fry says NOT
