Rita Ora & Fatboy Slim - Praising You

[Pipo]

I thought this just came and went without notice!

 

[Rita]

Did it chart in the UK?

 

[Devil]

Nope. Doing well on airplay (which probably makes more money these days than she gets from streaming!), but nowhere near the chart I don’t think. It is doing someone ok on Apple Music but nothing on Spotify much.

 

[lolly]

Her Eurovision semi performance was very well received from what I saw. Did she fail to get any traction from it anywhere?

I imagine it's too late to delay the album now...

 

[POP!]

#23 on US pop radio now, her third biggest (solo - ignoring Black Widow) hit there ever on the format, one spot behind her two that peaked at #22

Small victories, but that’s very random all things considered!

I haven't followed it the last week or two but it was doing very poor on streaming. That's usually a recipe for bottoming out around #15-20 as far as pop radio goes.

 

[Devil]

Yeah, I can’t see it even making the top 20 given the bottleneck there currently. More just shocked this song has done this well there given her chart history on the format. Seems so baffling after doing nothing anywhere else.

 

[Halli]

Whats overall streaming figures like for Praising You? I imagine they are quite big without it blowing up

 

[Jark]

you'd imagine wrong a modest 11m. it's not dead though, it was 5m just after Eurovision

 

[Devil]

Yeah it ain’t huge, but it’s not awful. I think it gets about 200k a day so should trickle down over time to join the last one in the 30m+ club.

 

[Pipo]

jesus, just how many millions does she need to chart somewhere? Are the stakes THAT high?

 

[Jark]

yes. pop music is a very high stakes game.
