I like SOTME more than BM and I'm happy it's still doing well on Itunes.
What I don't get though ... Little Mix all know and love "Ugly Heart". I can't believe that none of them listened to SOTME and thought "Hmm ... the chorus reminds me of Ugly Heart. Maybe we should change the melody a bit, so that it doesn't sound too similar?"

Anyway, looks like The Script will sue James Arthur. I wouldn't be surprised if GRL/Dr. Luke did the same to LM.

Sorry, but not even close. Especially without major streaming.

Radio won't play a song spontaneously unless something completely and utterly unpredictable makes it a viral sensation. Otherwise, the label has to work its normal radio promotion.
I agree about radio but significant sales can overcome to chart. I think its possible if they maintain to enter at the lower end. Britney was #6? On iTunes and got a #27 albeit with a debut radio deal.

I'm curious to see if they enter US Spotify charts tomorrow.

I would not consider #13 iTunes, even for a week, significant.

Either T5 iTunes or T5 streaming or T10 both could overcome no radio play.

We'll have to wait and see. It depends on how many absolute sales they get with 4.5 days.

A top 10 peak is actually looking possible which could spark some streaming curiosity?

I'm not sure of the significance either but it's all good for hype

ShaynaJay, did the girls get an official songwriting credit? As much as I love Black Magic it didnt sit well with me that they didnt have a cowrite for their lead.
Of course if LM are going to be sued by G.R.L, then this might not be the best time to be co-writers!?

i understand the similarities however, i do not think it is in danger for law suit. only the beginning of the chorus sounds like UH's middle part of the chorus. it is in different keys as well. katy did not get sued for roar and it is not as similar as that. its just petty band members looking for the cheapest promo possible and it worked it is in the top 100 right now. But all in all i don't think they will get anywhere legally or professionally. GRL was done with Simone unfortunately

Interesting to see the track at #5 in Thailand (right next to a new kpop track I recognize, heh.) Could be a new territory for them to look at. It's got a bigger population than the UK and a lot of foreign Korean groups are able to play major shows there, it's pretty much the most consistent territory for them outside Japan/China.

To be honest I'd never even heard of AXS before (I see it used to be called something else and its carried on DiSH satellite) so I doubt it will be moving the needle. Its not a major player.

Exactly! Its only the first line of both choruses that sound similar:

"Ok you're pretty, your face is a work of art"....

"Shoutout to my ex, you're really quite the man...."

And then the songs sound different after this chorus so I don't see the big deal.

I recognize AXS, it was a music concert channel until a year or two ago (AXS is a smaller ticket company in competition with Ticketmaster and Ticketfly). It's a premium cable channel. Only reality show junkies are going to watch it.

Also the motivation for suing would be to recoup something financially, which this song has yet to prove. Wouldnt it be Dr. Luke suing? If he ever wanted to I would think Sony would step in and offer some "incentives" not to.
