All this makes me think is that WWWY would have easily went top 5 if it had a video.

Radio might start to play it more as the song gets higher on itunes and because of the video, etc.

Easily. I think it would have went number 1 if she released a video and performed it at the Grammys; alas, it wasn't meant to be.

#103 now.

Hope IMY & WUTB get one

[Ichinaru19]

We'll be lucky if we get another video I have a feeling she may just do a tour video as the next one and call it a day

Uhm no. People weren't just here for it, as hard as it is to accept it.
Plus SML is increasing mainly due to Hot Songs, not video snippet.

#103!
#56 in UK!

WWWY stayed in the top 20 for the longest. A video would have easily boosted it. That's usually what helps songs along, especially considering so many people already own the album.

People were here for WWWY, although it definitely needed a push that went along with how radio was pushing it. Her promo and WWWY's run on radio were misaligned and that was the main problem. We never got the video and she didn't do a Grammy performance which stopped the song from being a Top 10 hit

alas, it went #14 w/o vid or grammy p/f.
with perfect timing it could've went top 3, maybe even #1, if only so for a week.
but it should've been the 4th single. WUTB 2nd and SML 3rd.
but it was building alot on radio already in december so :/

I'm not the biggest fan of the song, but it made top 15 in the US and top 10 in the UK, despite no video and the album already selling a ridiculous amount. I don't buy the blanket statement that 'people weren't here for it' when clearly a lot of people were.

And can we stop acting like WWWY flopped? It didn't flop, it was an under-performance but that's only because 25 had sold an unprecedented amount already.

Adele set the bar WAY too high

Of course a video would have helped. However, she's Adele, she has proved she can smash with or without a video. The song peaked #11 on pop radio, didn't it? Well video had nothing to do with it.

I mean it peaked at #9 with a BRITs performance. I doubt that would have helped less than a video (which would have been similar to SLY, aka boring).

I was the first one rooting for it and believing it would have smashed. Sales were indeed disappointing due to huge album sales, but what about its streaming chartrun? Album sales had nothing to do with it.

The video and the peformance at the Grammys would've helped it. But that's life. We need to let it go.

Truly, what a load of absolute bs.
