Will young love revolution, where will it chart?
Where do you all think will youngs new single will chart?
https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&so...Eiyhdw_lSjdv5g I'm hoping for a number 1. That won't happen but I'm going for too 20. Hope it gets top 10 |

It was released as an instant grat from the new album 3 weeks ago and peaked at around #42 on iTunes. Don't think it's going to go much higher now tbh.
I personally much prefer the second instant grat single Like A River which was made available to download last Friday but hasn't really taken off on iTunes. Radio stations and music channels need to start giving Like A River more airplay. It's the only way of making people aware that such a song exists. |

Like a River isn't a single in its own right so it's not going to go to radio. It remains an album track that Will has done a video for and it's the video that's on sale I believe.
The next single is likely to be Thank You, another track that Will has performed acoustically on his radio tour.

I don't think these days that you can mention Will Young and chart in the same sentence unless it's in the past tense

You get the track if you've preordered the album, otherwise you can buy the track as a download as well as the video.
Love Revolution won't chart, it hasn't been released with that aim. The problem for me is "Love Revolution" just isn't that good, and it isn't a song i would ever have considered releasing as a single, if the choice had been mine, especially after a lengthy absence. |

I don't understand why, after a four year break, you wouldn't want your return to prove successful. A first single is generally considered an advert to an accompanying album.

Why are songs released with the aim of not charting?

Brandon Flowers seems to be using a similar aproach this time, he's got three songs doing the rounds at the moment with videos. Hopefully it will help the album on it's release to garner more sales.

I guess it's a way of getting your music out there and accessible in the media, not everyone has the luxury of massive radio airplay etc, Will hasn't had that for a long time and now with streaming included in the singles chart, it's practically impossible to get into the top 40.

I agree it won't chart. In hindsight an oa/so strategy has been a huge mistake with Will being off the music scene for such a long time. Any artist needs the support of the big commercial stations to have a hit and Will hasn't had that support. Although I agree that Love Revolution isn't Will's best single there is far worse that receives AirPlay. Hope his album does ok but it is going to be really difficult without radio support.

Sadly these songs that are far worse are performed by younger acts and UK media probably think young people between 16-24 want to listen to music being produced by people of a similar age. There are teenagers out there who actually enjoy listening to the music their parents liked, so you get 16 year olds listening to Stone Roses, Nirvana and The Beatles. In some cases even 10 seconds of Pitbull is too much.

"Dare" is an absolute dream of a song from start to finish, it was premiered on Graham Norton's radio show and it's on the deluxe edition of 85% Proof, I can't stop listening to it.

There is a lot worse, i agree, but that really doesn't say much for "Love Revolution". I find Will a very difficult person to way up. He tends to speak in a friendly and polite way (he has impeccable manners), but there is always an underlying cockiness/smugness about him, almost as if he over values himself to such a degree, he feels "Love Revolution" will do, simply because he is on it.
