I understand why this underperformed. The poor callouts remain a surprise as it's still the best written song on the album IMO but the middling airplay, sales and streaming as a result make sense. But she really screwed the pooch in terms of the overall chart history. All she had to do was perform it at the Grammys. A video on the Friday would have been nice (I mean, there's a good chance a video NOW would do the trick as well, but we know that's not happening), but unnecessary. I mean, she probably doesn't care at all, and the album sales have totally shugged this off, but as a fan it's frustrating.

this, exactly.
plus people are probably tired of this version of adele. she/her team/whoever REALLY needs to release WUTB and SML, in that order.

all this!
and yeah need a real 3rd single, and we need it to be an uptempo (Wutb or Sml, tho i prefer wutb)

I hate to go offtopic but nobody understands frustration unless you have stanned Rihanna 2015-2016
Anyway, if they are really abandoning it its sad because its my favourite Adele song
This song now reminds me of this underperforming It makes me think of how big it could have been
It really could've been handled better. "Set Fire to the Rain" still flourished with no MV but this is struggling (I'm using that term loosely), so a MV would possibly rebound it. Regardless, the song is still dope, and one of my favorites on the album.
there alot of great and Classic songs that failed to make big impressions at the charts anyway, most important is that she gave us a great song tbh, and 18+ million ppl around the World owns it
