It's a shame that it will probably miss the Top 40 as Alesha is really talented and popular on BGT as a judge. She sang it on a BGT live show but the release date was quite a while after that so that didn't help and I don't think it's received any radio play? Releasing it from an independent label doesn't help matters either.

Anyhoo I think streaming the song will help her out a bit so if you like the song, you know what to do!

She's made the single not chart eligible because she doesn't want this era to be defined by chart positions which is a shame but probably for the best because streaming. The song is doing well on ITunes though #25 and #116.

I'm 100% sure that's exactly why she did it

I don't like the idea of artists "chickening" out of chart positions though

Lol, I'm sure that's her reasoning. As we are aware, a true artiste the calibre of Alesha Dixon cannot be judged by mere chart positions..

It's been in the UK AirPlay top 20 for 3 weeks so lack of radio play can't be the problem.

It's been played loads on Radio 2 (and I always get excited when I hear it - I LOVE it!) but unfortunately getting played on Radio 2 doesn't really equate to single sales these days.

I quite like this track, it has a nice Summery feel. However, imo, it simply is not strong enough to be a lead single; furthermore the fact that Alesha has made it not chart eligible just gives the impression that she assumed it would flop!

The song would've been ok with better production. The backing track sounds really cheap which lessens the song. Sounds like it should've been released in 2011.

Does that mean the album will be NCQ when the first set of midweeks are published and the album is outside the top 10?

Just think, if more and more artists start doing this then there will never be any new songs entering the UK top 40. We might have a situation when Pharrell's Happy defaults its way back to #1 on iTunes thanks to a 59p reduction and lack of competition.

Not a chance- even if it were free it would be too expensive.

This might be one of the best tracks I've heard in the last couple of decades. It definitely deserves more exposure. I've just tweeted out to my 17 followers and hope they will stream it on Spotify (and Apple Music next week, when it launches).
