I keep fluctuating on this. My head says not to expect too much from sales of the song, but there is something about the responses to the video that give me a glimmer of hope. It is just so feel good and simply happy, and if somehow that can be communicated to enough people (not sure how) then it might surprise us.

Leona has never released a simple happy song before.
Well IGY was, but I don't think that reached many people. I still think there's too many people (and potential Leona fans) who didn't know it was a single!

Not really totally happy. It still has that bitter sweet thing ie. We're right at the end. And her vocal tone and the imagery in the video had that too. Whereas Collide is entirely euphoric and just simply fun.

Yeah plus she's coming off the XF hype. It hasn't hung around in the charts either. I just thought I'd use it as an example though and show that Leona is capable of a top 5 even without airplay.
Agreed, we as fans can match Cher Lloyd!

Plus I think Collide will last longer in the charts

Yea - that and the fact half a million people already had the album....I am sure collide will be top 10, top 5 would be great but what is more important is that it hangs around, if it is top 10 1 month later it will lead in perfectly to her second single

I thought this was interesting. Cher Lloyd's Swagger Jagger has never once made it into the top 50 airplay chart but it still made #1.
Yeah it flopped very bad on the radio but got to #1 due to her young teenage fanbase. She has over 500k twitter followers too, so when you think about it only 10% of them had to spend a pound to get it there. A few tweets informing people you have a single out does the trick. With Collide they need to advertise the download link better than what they are doing atm, especially next week when it's most important.

Is Clive Davies still involved with Leona's career?

What just might give this track a chance is club play. I'd really like to see the video mixed with the Afrojack mix and officially put out to play, especially as the Afrojack version is being released with the single.

Was just about to post that. Jesus nearly half a million views in just over 24 hours!! I was hoping for a million by the end of next week but seems like a piece of cake now.

Yes, that'll do just fine thanks.

You need to search for the vid Saz for it to show the correct views. For some reason it doesn't refresh often enough on the actual video page.

After watching the Video on Tv & not on my laptop ive realised the beauty of it. At first i was dissapointed in the LAck of movement wit hit being a dancy dong. But the video makes it more Euphoric imo. Love it

That .gif definitely sums up the feeling atm

And when I'm actually on the video it says 315,000 views but it's at 479,000 when you search for the video. Beyonce's 1+1 is like that as well (~900,000 when you search for it but ~600,000 when actually on the vid)
