Follow-up single to "Chocolate" being promoted next to pop, according to Interscope's promotional SoundCloud account.

This is one of my favorites from the album, but I see this doing worse than "Chocolate". I can't see this hitting Top 40 really.

These guys are like a British version of Hot Chelle Rae.

To me, they sound nearly identical. But if you disagree, that's fine too.

Hmmmm. The 1975 = Indie Rock sound; Hot Chelle Rae = pop/rock sound.

I like Chocolate better. I dont see this doing much on pop, maybe on Alternative.

Is this getting pushed to Alternative too? Or is there nothing announced yet?

I so want this to smash. Along with Chocolate (re-release), Sex, Robbers, Pressure, Heart Out and She Way Out. Please and thank you American soil.

Kurt how did you add that impact date label Haha, oops - apparently I didn't set the permissions to staff-only while I played around with it like I'd meant to do. ProBoards has thread tags built-in that are being used in the country discussion forum now; I figured I'd try them out here too, but since only staff members can actually make the label, I'm thinking they'll be more useful for listing chart peaks ("Top 40;" "#1") instead.

These guys are like a British version of Hot Chelle Rae. Listen to anything on the album aside from the two pop singles. Try the other two singles that weren't pop releases, both "The City" and "Sex" for example. The're nothing Hot Chelle Rae-ish about those.

(Yeah, I'm biologically older than your average CHR listener. So what?)

The only thing that bothers me is how the dark grey lines (at least in the theme I'm using) only go to the top of Kurt's post, and not around the label as well. OCD.

I had a feeling this was going to get off to a good start (there was visible promo), but I'm still surprised it seems to have beaten the new Ed Sheeran and 5SOS songs.

I think this has the most potential to be a pop hit out of all of their singles.
