The pop uddates (in other formats it's doing better with the exception of Urban AC when it charted two weeks ago to dissapear without a trace, maybe because Stay with me is still number one there) are dissapointing. The song is selling well, the callout scores are good (this give me hope giving how well Don't and Waves are doing) so this should do better, hopefully the AMAs performance give this a boost

After a bunch of days without updates, this is at 13 on pop, 7 on Hot AC, 28 on Rhythmic, 44 on Urban AC and 23 on AC (this chart will be upside down soon with Christmas songs). It's 7 on itunes, perfect position for a bump after AMAs performance

That performance, while good, was so so boring.

He will make his debut on Ellen today, hopefully it'll give the song a final push (anyway it's holding better than i expected, after a not so stellar push after the AMAs the song still holds well in the top 10 and with other version near 60). The album drops a position on UK, meanwhile he still has two songs in the top 20 (like i can climbs to 13) Stay with me makes its 10th week at number one on Urban AC

This is such an non eventful single. He really needs to switch it up for the third single.

This is such an non eventful single. He really needs to switch it up for the third single. Oh yes, it'll be a fantastic idea to switch to a third single when the second is top 10 on itunes, on radio and on the hot 100, a song that didn't peaked yet. It's true that it's not a song splashy for live tv performances (something Stay with me was), and that means the push after live performances is not that great, but there are a lot of other things to consider. First some people really like an elegant song to listen quietly at home, second he is a new artist, he is not consolidated, there are a lot of artist who have success with the first album to only dissapear with the second. Duffy was absolutely huge on UK with Rockferry till her second album flopped big time, so if you get a good bunch of hits of your first album and the album ends being platinum there are more chances you create expectations for your second one, and the probabilities of a long career are higher.

This is such an non eventful single. This is the best song on the album and works just fine as a follow-up to the huge smash called Stay With Me.

Top 10 on pop, it took some time but given sales and callout scores this should explode at any moment. I expect to go top 5 at least

Switch it up as in, release something that doesn't like this...or Stay With Me. They both sound the same.

You seem to not understand that some people (a lot of people if we watch his sales) don't agree with you. You only switch a single if that single is not doing its job, like what Gwen Stefani did. I suppose he will release Like i can (like he did on UK) after this which is quite different from this (and i'm curious to see if it work as well as the slower songs) but there's no way he will switch the single now when the song is top 10 in a lot of charts and it's climbing, i would be ridiculous to do it

Stay With Me sounds exactly like "I Wont Back Down" by Tom Petty...I don't really hear the similarities to this song. I also gotta disagree about this song being "uneventful", especially with that bridge.

It meant to say: switch the style of the song FOR the third single. The poster didn't suggest that Sam canceled this song now and replaced it for another (like Gwen) at all. I agree with you in terms of the hit potential for this song still being high and the difference between this song and SWM. Btw, I also hate it when people say this is 'boring'. This is another heartfelt ballad sang perfectly. I thought his vocal rendition at the AMAs was gold... And as a whole I preferred it to Taylor's which was more entertaining but was vocally disappointing. Now, in terms of career, I agree with the idea of switching up the tempo for the third single. Ballads have had a difficult time to smash for the past decade, and a career identified this early with ballads could be dangerous. Let's not forget that one of the biggest career killing decisions was Leona Lewis releasing I'll be as the third single of her era. Sam needs something more uptempo for his third solo single. He's in a better position than LL due to his couple of features, but still he should be cautious.

And yes, a change of sound is needed for the third single, but i think it's almost guarantied Like i can will be the third single, in fact i think that song is better for the USA market than for UK. A ballad for a fourth single won't be a problem but the third needs to be an uptempo And yes, his collaborations give him a pass because people know he can get a different sound. I suppose next album will be a little more risky than this one

Repeat at 7 on the hot 100. Frankly i don't think this will go much further on that chart. Maybe top 5, and probably a good bunch of weeks inside top 10 (this is far from peaking in most formats) but this won't be a top contender for number one as Stay with me was

New peak at canadian billboard hot 100 at 2 (probably it will peak there because dethroning Blank Space seems mission impossible). It's curious how well he does on that chart, and how bad in comparision he'd do on pop airplay. Stay with me was number one seven weeks on billboard chart but only peaked at 3 on the pop chart, and this absolutely collapsed and stalled after reaching top 5 (now it's at 6). On the other hand it'll probably be his second number one on Hot AC.
On the american charts it's doing quite well (in fact pop updates are probably the worst in comparision). It's top 3 on Hot AC, Blank Space will surpass it soon (curiously this probably will end benefiting it's chances to get number one in the future), it's top 10 on AAA, it's getting near top 20 on Rhythmic and Urban AC (21 and 24) and it's holding surprisingly well against chriistmas songs in the AC chart (it lost a good bunch of positions but barely a couple of spins)

Well, I believe "Like I Can" will do better. It's not a rehash of "Stay With Me" like this is and shows much more variety in his sound. It's already top 20 in the UK, and I can assume it will be his next hit.

Of course that doesn't mean it can't smash on the USA (Set fire to the rain was not even top 10 on UK). I don't know if he is waiting to premiere the video when the song is released in the USA
