Ye, currently #263 - was #230ish earlier. It's also helped the album pre-order. It went up to #250ish earlier after not being in the top 1500 for the last few weeks.

Airplay won't start in the UK until a couple weeks time though, so I expect the song to fall out of the top 1500 for a bit, unless of course it takes off by itself!

But why is it already out in the UK? It won't even go top 100...

OMG i just checked. You're right! They're crazy or what?! Why chose this as a single and give for "free" with album preorder?!

Because they aren't chasing hit singles, they want the album to sell.

Mainstream radio have all but abandoned Leona in the UK, she still has the biggest UK radio station on board thankfully, and massively I should add, but they are an AC station and its clear that the label are gearing everything towards the AC audience.

None of the songs are going to chart well with just BBC Radio 2 support, so they are putting it out straight away as it makes no difference.

God, Leona is such a snooze. I can't believe this is supposed to be her "raw, authentic" era. These songs are terrible. And I loved the Echo album, in particular. Whoever is doing the vocal mixing on these songs needs to be fired.

Looks like she is shooting the video for this tonight.

I got to bank my sleeps this morning😴 busy afternoon/night of shooting ahead and lots on next week! Excited & grateful for what's to come 💫✨

Exciting, when I picture a video to the song I do picture it being at night, so thats great. Hoping we get something really special from this video.

Hopefully the video will be amazing and really boost the song.

So an official release date is not set yet, right?

It's already been released. The radio impact date is likely September 4th, the week before the album. So radio play will only start picking up in around 2-3 weeks time.

A new remix has been added to Leona's Vevo. The Fastlane Remix.



They added the DEVolution remix too.

The fastlane remix is fire! Love it!

Well the album pre-order clearly isn't doing much either, lol.

It went up to #250ish when "I Am" was released a few days ago - the highest it had been in weeks and was previously out of the top 1500 for a couple weeks beforehand.

"I Am" won't be getting much if any airplay the next couple weeks though, so don't expect the song or album to rise much until then.

At least give it a few weeks for airplay to actually start.
