Yes, we make the new threads. We usually split from the last page of the previous thread and figured the new single artwork would be a good point to start, especially since the single is coming soon. We made this one a little early so the discussion can focus on the new material.

I think you'll find that DS Forum Support actually made the new part. They used to create a post at the end of each part explaining that they have set up a new one, and the first post in the new part would also be from them. This time they included in a post from Krusty111 a comment that there is a new part and in Alfonso's thread that this is a new part.
Yes but it says "Alfonso" They probably merged everything though

@mods, thanks!

Artwork completely not what I expected but I am obsessed with it! She definitely gave me the vogue factor I was hoping for, not just against a red background with a star on her cheek 🙊

This is off topic a little, but I just read (even though it was posted a month ago) that Top Of The Pops might be coming back with Fearne and Dermot hosted them on Friday, in a move to coincide with the new official chart day thing. I really hope it does!

Wow, oww, woowowow, omgggggg.

I am blown away. What a beautiful single cover !!!

Her face, her hair, her shirt, trousers and THE umbrella (who knows, the umbrella might replace the famous echo-tree or aladin pants someday lol)
I love the choice of colours as well.

Lol, it kinda looks like she will use the umbrella to take revenge on her old label. You better hide, Leonazilla is coming lol!

So agree- adore the cover. So much love the more natural, wind swept look. Just gorgeous. And the clip, might just melt Into a heap Cant believe how lucky we are to be her fans

I love the 2nd snippet of the video.

I love the Single cover as well. Trousers aren't really flattering to Leona's body but overall the photo looks authentic and beautiful!

Sometimes NZ get singles first before the UK does, have no idea why it happens, just seems to be something that labels do for UK artists.

If it's been brought forward then it's pretty certain she's got a BGT slot. I can see them staggering it though so she can split the promotion up a bit

It's definately the 21st of June in the UK because of the stupid 6 week radio rule

They should put the single cover up on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram along with where fans can hear the song first as no one from Leona's team has actually commented yet. Whether it's on VEVO at Midnight, an 8am premiere on Capital/Radio 1 or indeed on Heat Radio.

The June 6th release date does line up with The Palladium doesn't it?

Also it would make more sense to release it then if she is performing on BGT, which airs the last week of May, so its not too much of a wait.

Who knows, it probably is still June 21st in the UK.

I didn't think it was an umbrella, but a parasol.
And she's holding it to the side as she's stepped out of the shade and into the sun.

Its not really a rule, its just how things traditionally happen, if she releases it June 6th radio pretty much needs to jump on board straight away, which given Fire is a super catchy strong song, I don't see why they wouldn't

Oh really?! I thought that was a rule lol well hopefully!

Some more nice press on Unreality TV (their links never work) but I've yet to here someone call her boring this time around!

I think you'll find that DS Forum Support actually made the new part.

This time they included in a post from Krusty111 a comment that there is a new part and in Alfonso's thread that this is a new part.

For those of you who are interested, the most posts in the last part were from:

IsThat Happiness 1,055
Soeplepel 958
pokerfaceLele 365
Envoirment 322
QueenLeonaLewis 274

In total there were 149 members who posted at least once. So, if they all sign up to Spotify and constantly stream FUMF on repeat, this would help to count towards "sales" at some stage?
Mine is definitely around 97, so i am good with that, especially i just joined in last week of April

I said this in other thread:
"You little bunny, do you think that she's gonna set fire to her t-shirt to show her true form? I mean, you can see something blue inside her t-shirt.. there's no way its just her bra."
Bumping this

Absolutely stunning artwork! Probably her best - with the obvious exception of Happy. She looks so sexy, confident and stylish! The font is perfect too. I can't not mention how stunning she looks in the second FUMF video snippet. She's one sexy lady!

I'd be surprised if Leona isn't a guest on BGT purely because they've used her music every week this series. I was surprised I Got You (Echo) got some love during yesterday's show, usually Run, IWB, FPITS or AMLT. I know they've always used her music but I didn't think they would do as much if Leona and Simon aren't on good terms.

Ahh, roll on tomorrow!!!

Sometimes I feel like record companies purposely choose when they will release singles as if it's already been pre-determined by the media what the UK #1 singles are in advance.

So LunchMoney Lewis #1 for a fortnight, followed by Jason Derulo. YAWN!!!!!!! When the UK #1 singles are that predictable weeks in advance I just fail to see why the UK charts are deemed important.

What would be excellent is if Leona's far superior single (yes, I'm going there) threw a spanner in the works and went to #1 on merit rather than other songs getting to #1 because they've been up for pre-order for endless weeks.

If the music video is released tomorrow, hopefully radio will start adding this to their playlists quickly, and then possibly give the song two weeks to build up and release the song to iTunes and Spotify, sit back and watch this gem shoot up to #1.

If the averageness that is Want To Want Me has to be a UK #1 let it just have one week, then Leona can come along the following week and dominate the chart for a few weeks.

I think:

June 6> International single release date
June 19> Ireland single release date
June 21> UK single release date

Kinda cool that HEATRadio will premiere it considering the song's title !
