Oh my god, they tittled a song Midnight memories. Poor things, the backlash will be big. I remember fans of one direction bashing Midnight red because their name was almost the same that their favourite group album and their single tittle being similar too (or some absurdity like that).
The song is quite catchy, and right now it's a good moment for teen boybands

I'm not usually into songs by boy bands, but this is just such a feel good song. Every time I listen to it, I just have to smile and bob my head. Its super catchy too!

Wow, this is really good. It reminds me a little of something that would be released in 2010, but I'm definitely digging it. I'm a little surprised it hasn't already caught on because it sounds a lot like a summer smash as opposed to a fall one.

Demi finds a way to slay on these bit parts in pleasant, but very generic pop songs.
I remember when she almost made that We the Kings song a good one.

Well, this seems to be the year of the eps, with Troye Sivan getting a top 10 this week, i remember at least 4 eps being top 10.
The song is really catchy, and with Demi in it, they should not get too many troubles finding their place on the chart

Well, maybe it's the overdose of boybands and teen singers. Right now Shawn Mendes is not doing well on airplay even with all the hype, Troye Sivan didn't get a single add even when his ep is top 5 and his song is top 100 on itunes without airplay.
I find this way catchier than something like She looks so perfect, but in this cases that doesn't matter. Teens usually are very protective of their boybands and had bad reactions agains "competence", so it's quite difficult that several find success at the same time.
Maybe it needs time to grow or Really don't care falling off the charts. Anyway it's not the end of the world even if this doesn't catch up, N'Sync and BSB wasted years to have some success in USA, and the fact that you present yourself playing instruments make easier to make a transition to a more adult sound

They are going to need some promo, the ep has the biggest drop for a top 10 album ever, from 10 to 192. At least in UK they are doing really well

Yes, it had a way better second week of adds than the first. They can do it at least a top 50 hit

I believe this marks Demi's second top 50 as a feature, after "We'll Be A Dream" four years ago with We The Kings. I don't think she was credited for that on Mediabase, though...

The big problem is the song is selling more or less the same that Happy little pill (well is selling right now, because Troye Sivan's song sold a lot more in total) a song that didn't went for adds, had any promo or airplay.
The song is catchy, but the market is overcrowded of teen singers right now, and the song is teen pop 100% without nothing new or special. Without that extra promo, they probably will stay on the top 50 only a couple of weeks (if they are lucky).
To be fair, even the teen bands that are selling a lot of albums have big problems to score a hit right now. 5SOS is selling a good amount of albums, but i doubt they will be able to score a top 10 with this album.
The Vamps are doing well in Uk, all their singles were top 5, but they waited to much to start their careers in the USA.

Another great new British group! It's like the 60's have come back to this decade with so many good British Pop/Rock groups coming over here one after another! The US just can't keep up at the moment producing groups as good as overseas! And of course there is Queen Adele too! Brit pop acts ar doing so well in US now , it is a whole new era . Established bands like Coldplay and 1 D and then there is Calvin Harris , Ed heeran etc . I hope Ella Henderson and George Ezra make it big there as well .
