That was 4 years ago when albums and digital sales were higher markets..

True. But she proved to be a factor with Hello though. No one saw it coming she broke the digital first week sales in a dead sales market.

Still no official US release date in site. The fact it's doing what it is doing just based on an announcement speaks volumes.

There's no official US release date? lmao

No there isn't.

GRAMMY performance confirmed! A little less than a month away so she should really release the music video before then (or Spotify). She needs some sort of streaming to help the song. Radio updates are still positive, but not the greatest. This can't flop.

Id pray for Spotify this Friday!

idk my fear is that it's going to stall on radio before the GRAMMYs and start getting some negative updates and that wouldn't be good. I hope I'm wrong tho and everything turns out alright.

The song isnt even officially released

[Rico Shameless v2]

Singles after an album is released rarely get a "release date" in the States. Other countries still do it because it's still a thing to buy physical CDs/send radio promos to stations. Everything is practically digitally transmitted in the US.

I reckon with her not being on Spotify with 25, that would technically be a release date. As far as radio, I'm thinking the updates are just offsets of the huge ones from last week.

Confused as to why Columbia isn't pushing "Water Under The Bridge" stateside yet. This is like what they do with Beyonce: release the boring ballad based on opinions from middle-aged white dudes and wait for it to flop.

Because its Adele's personal choice for this to be the second single more likely.

[ririfan21]

I'm really thinking about buying this song. Since the album won't be up for streaming.

[Bey Admired]

Worrying performance up to now as far as I'm concerned. The itunes performance isn't too bad, but I thought it would be doing better by now. I did, however, always insist that this song would struggle on Pop radio due to the fact it's very much aimed at an older demographic with its nostalgic sentiment. It also makes Adele seem older than she actually is and we know how ageist pop radio is.

I'm sure SML would be doing brilliantly on pop radio. Hell, even WUTB or AIA would be doing a lot better. Let's hope they put this on Spotify tomorrow and her performance at The Grammy's gives it a big boost. I see this struggling to make the top 10 otherwise.

This is why a lot of people were complaining about radio jumping on it too early. It's clear this wasn't meant for official release until around the Grammys next month.

The Grammys and a video will definitely help it out though.

Not that bad considering the album is owned by 8 million people. Plus the average pop listeners cater to later 20s and above so the ageist thing is a non factor to Adele...its iTunes performance (getting into the Top 10) is responding to airplay correlatively. Heck I believe its way going too fast right now..I mean #16 on Pop Radio? The official release is this Friday. I dont see why yall worry about.

Worry about when she doesnt care of this single at all..no promo or aything and when the spins and audience impressions are losing on radio...

As of now..Im very happy with the way this is performing

Im confident to say enough without Spotify and MV, this wouldnt go #1 because of lack of streams...but then again anything can happen with Adele..She just keeps proving me wrong every moment and time that I start to doubt her.

[Blue Jeans]

I have never been into Adele's music and ballads much, but oh my.. I was nearly crying to When We Were Young yesterday
I'm still young, but this idea of "youth" has always made me very sensitive. Songs like these make me want to have fun and be free while being young, but at the same time make me very sad and melancholic

[Mariah4life]

i still have a lot of faith in this song, even without the grammys.

[anti-bitch]

WWWY was quietly released to rhythmic radio stations in the US last Friday (Jan 22). http://hitsdailydouble.com/crossover&id=299358

Listen to the remix here: http://atrl.net/?t=937964.

I heard the song today on the radio!
