Like Summer, I think this is underwhelming. Not been very impressed with his new music.

O. I wasn't expecting that the official audio will be up on his YouTube/VEVO channel, although I assume he and/or his label did that because of the unofficial uploads it has had since the premiere. Isn't the music video supposed to come out today too? It was supposed to be, according to early reports ( here and here), but a press release from Sony Music Italy says that it will be released in mid-September. However, it mentions that a lyric video will be out this Sunday, so I don't know if two videos in three days will happen though. Anyway, the track is up on Spotify too, but I guess it will be available to stream when the song is out on iTunes.

Flawless. Whoever said the drop is a bit like I Need Your Love, I agree and mixed with Sweet Nothing a bit. I like this vibe of single from him, not sure if I like it as much as Summer, but it's a great second single.

Love this, prefer it to Summer, which I also loved. I love the drop. I did think of INYL instantly too, but I love the guitar driven sound here. I hoped he would explore this type of sound more after I heard I Will Never Let You Down.
Easily another big hit for him in Europe/UK, and most likely stateside as well. I can really see this being big here around December.

Yeah, this is very much I Need Your Love 2.0, but I don't love it any less. I can't wait for the inevitable Extended Mix.

This is great. I wasn't sold on first listen, but by the next listen I loved it. I hear the "I Need Your Love" comparisons, which most certainly isn't a bad thing. I still like "Summer" more, although this one is quickly growing on me.

This does bear some similarities to "I Need Your Love" production-wise but this song is superior to that one in every way.

Hungary stanning for Calvin <3 Anyway, it's currently at #2 in the UK, behind "Prayer In C", while "C.U.B.A" is at #94. Personally, I don't expect the latter to do so much, although it would be great if it makes the Top 100 next week. However, it should be considered that the single/EP version there, which includes both tracks, is sold at ยฃ0.99, the same price as if someone purchases only a track. Also, Calvin hinted that John will be performing with him at the iTunes Festival today (around 1:24), so I'm expecting a really good boost.

Maybe this will do something for John Newman's career, he seemed to be the british next best thing but then Sam Smith appeared and all the buzz was gone

Is the plan to still release the video today? I don't think so and I hope it doesn't happen though. I mean, Calvin and John did the best to make buzz for the track with their performance on the iTunes Festival today, so I want the video to be released in the next few weeks to give some longevity to it, especially in the UK.

Fingers crossed for this to top the UK chart. He got enough #2s (4 of them) from his last album.

This could become his third Official Charts number one in a row! I really hope so, although I don't want to get my hopes on right now because of streaming. Despite it's still atop there as you mentioned with a .1661 gap now, it needs to sell more than 25k 12.5k to have the #1 on lock this Sunday. I mean, its main competition is "Prayer In C", which it's been revealed that it got 11,238 streaming sales last week and it means that it was streamed 1'123,800 times. However, the good thing about "Blame" is that there's a playlist on Spotify entitled "Blame: This Is Calvin Harris" promoting it, with a message recorded by Calvin introducing the song, so I guess he and/or his team played the right cards, knowing that streaming will be the low part for it. As a consequence, this will be a really interesting week between both tracks, giving me a sort of "Crazy Stupid Love" / "Rude" situation. Anyway, regarding its US position on iTunes, I'm not too worried now. The reason is that Calvin singles usually tend to climb slowly there when it's available to purchase and it will pick up when people listen to them in the radio :) ETA: I was doubling the sales that Calvin should have sell to take the #1 spot this Sunday
