Still loving this, it's a great summer song - just wished we had to video already!

I hope it's another top 5 for her

I LOVE this song! I think its my fav non-Gaga track from RedOne! <3 Tune!

Not a fan of this song, and they've really handled the release badly. No video. No artwork. Pushing back the release. Hardly any airplay...

[crazycool]

^ I still think it'll do really well though!

But I agree with you, if it was handled better it would have more potential to be HUGE.

[Neil]

I think the most important NONO is that it's a summery single and it's being released in September. Who's bright idea was that, lol.

Yes I agree. I imagine this to be played over a summer drink, or a BBQ. It just doesn't quite work in September.

Still love the song mind you.

Don't really like the video!

[Wayne]

The odd timing of the Irish release date may actually work in her favour! She's currently sitting @ #5 on the Irish iTunes, and rising steadily!

[crazycool]

Tomorrow in the UK we will have an indicatiion if this'll be a hit or a miss! Come on Alexandra!

[Wayne]

#4 on UK iTunes! :o

[crazycool]

Heading for #1 !!

Thanks kingoxymoron.

She looks FIT!!! Like seriously beautiful. She's got everything just right.

[crazycool]

DIVA!

She looks amazing... she's really proved herself to be a bonafide pop superstar, not just another X Factor winner IMO.

[nekoo]

catchy song, hopefully this will be big in Europe too, it has the funny Boney M feeling :)

[Wayne]

Debuted @ #5 in Ireland, her 5th consecutive top 5 hit. And is still #1 in the UK midweeks, as of the final update yesterday (http://www.vanityedge.com/forum/showthread.php?3877-UK-Midweeks-Thursday-update&p=54233#post54233)! :D

[crazycool]

Officially #1 in the UK!
Yesss!

[Wayne]

With over 73k sold, awesome! :D Her third #1 :o

I hope that it gets a second week, the mids say it will :D

[crazycool]

^I'm sure it will! Which would be an even greater achievement!
