Queen of misunderstood rap genius and being ahead of her time.

The general public will support the murder of a Robyn song and will allow Honey G to flounder in the Top 150?

Ended up at #149, if anyone cares.

You could argue that streaming has killed any chance of a decent chart position for something like this; then again, its sales-only position was 35, and an X Factor contestant whose first single peaks at 35 isn't getting a second. So it's probably a moot point.

Streaming really has killed the charts for pop music.

I was going to suggest that the George Michael re-entries wouldn't have helped things but just seen only 3 songs actually entered above Anna in the Sales chart. Ouch.

Did the general public ever really support Robyn besides the fluke #1 she had a long time ago, though?

 

[pmas]

I feel a bit sorry for her. I think she is a bit delusional but it was a fun novelty track.

Still, she managed a higher sales chart peak than poor Mollie, but she at least salvaged top 100 overall.

She's fairly set for PAs and holiday camps for a while at least, I'm sure she'll still make some decent money out of her stint.

Can't see any effort being made to release anything else with her, even Jedward got a top 5.

She just hadn't got that likability/aww bless/pity appeal like Jedward, Chico etc managed to get people on board with plus the song was no It's Chico Time was it.

 

[Evie]

Well it was never going to be number 1

Don't forget, Jedward are cuties.

Christ no, I had to sit through a Jedward concert with my little sister and needed to lay in a dark room for about two weeks after.

 

[penghuwan]

People didn't buy Honey G's single yet voted for Brexit.

Clearly we've learned the British public can't be trusted with any level of responsibility

Lucky you, I had a big ol' crush on Edward, John not so much.

Well no but I wish they hadn't supported the de-bopification of Dancing On My Own.

One thing I will say and it's fact is that in her defence she hasn't had any radio air play at all yet so how do they expect it to become a possible hit anyway when the vast majority of public won't have heard it except for the hardcore fans of XF?

Yet? Which radio station is going to playlist it?

 

[Leopold]

No, trash is the female rappers who strip off, rap about killing people and twerk their fake backsides like prostitutes. Honey G is fun and a positive role model unlike Nicki Minaj et al.

Reset yourself before you wreck yourself, Resetti.

Yes she is. She shows you can be anything you like regardless of looks, skin colour, age or stereotypes. She also stands strongly against her haters.

I think most people are aware you can be talentless trash whoever you are and wherever you come from, ta. Keep it.

She promoted it during the final, which was watched by millions of viewers. In comparison, Little Mix performed a song which went on to reach number 4 in the chart, even though it's parent album had already sold approx. 200,000 copies.

Probably none of them but that's why it hasn't done better because in order to have a hit you actually need to have your songs played on radio and as Simon had deals with radio they literally wouldn't have a choice but to play it realistically so I guess he changed his mind re signing honey g

Yeah I know but little mix material is obviously going to be brought and it only just reached number 4 and it's had radio play so not much of a comparison or relation to my post

Sometimes I can't tell if I find your boundless optimism for X-Factor alumni maddeningly endearing or just maddening.

When it comes to novelty hits - if they're catchy, and funny, and relatable, they blow up. People share them, retweet them, stream them, and they chart. You don't need radio for Psy or "What Does The Fox Say" or even Cheeky Girls type success. This failed because it's absolutely bland, borderline offensive dirge that fills exactly zero demand in anyone's market.
