I thought this would be an instant smash hit in US . Some times the US market is impossible to comprehend , have you not heard of Paloma Faith or George Ezra ? Both theses artistes are perfect for US radio . when u have a label like Columbia, if u ain't no Beyonce or John Mayer or One Direction wait miracle happen then.

Both theses artistes are perfect for US radio . We're definitely hard to predict... but I think this song will end up being a hit in the end.

I really need this to smash hard. Every day, I find myself loving this song more and more. Like, I think I may be on the verge of obsessing over this song in a way I haven't done since... "Royals"?

Yesterday Ella formally announced that she is heading to the US next week to promote Ghost. She is on The Today Show 29th Oct and on Dancing with the Stars shortly after. Hopefully, she will tie in a mini radio tour and this can really start gaining momentum!

Nah, it's not too late, we have recent examples (Waves, Rather Be) that songs that exploded after a good while on the chart. She needs the promo, Ghost in my opinion is the perfect song to break into the US market, but she needs that promo to bust the sales and the airplay. There are exceptions, but generally you need to do a lot of work to break the US market, no matter how successful was the song in UK and europe

when u have a label like Columbia, if u ain't no Beyonce or John Mayer or One Direction wait miracle happen then. I mean...they're turning Take Me to Church (and Hozier) into a massive deal. I wouldn't sleep on Columbia. But they did things right with Take me to church. First caught the attention with the video, then was released to AAA (and became number one), then was released to alternative, and when started to do well on alt, was released to hot Ac. The song had a good bunch of spins on pop for a good while before cracking the top 50, and exploded in its add's week. And then of course the tv performances and the commercial (which made the sales rise very fast, and it was doing very well even before that). With Ghost, at least the release it was less stellar. The song was direct to pop, and it entered the chart without problem, but with small spin increases and stalled sales, it wasn't the best way to do it. Release the song and in a couple of weeks (specially if the song makes the chart all by itself) do big promo is the best way to do it. Sometimes it's not necesary, Sam Smith got enough buzz from his tv performances to Stay with me had a smoth path to the charts (and he did promo anyway). On the other side of the spectrum we have Ed Sheeran who made a tour playing in colleges (at the time he was very big in UK), and try to do an impact on AAA charts. Anyway, without doing your homework and promote heavily your song (probably not even Stay with me would get such success without Sam implication on the promo) it's very difficult to break it big (or at least make an impact that pave the path for future songs). Once you have a big hit, the release of the next is simpler, but Ella is an unknown, who was 6th on X factor UK, yes the single is catchy and good, but it's not a viral song or video, so she needs the exposure to catch the attention. Rather be is a perfect example, it was massive in UK and europe, but it was underperforming for a good while, till the radio deal. A radio deal that prove (with the reaction on sales) that people like the song when they had the oportunity to hear it. Maybe she doesn't need a radio deal, but she needs at least tv performances. The fact she is a very good singer will help to promote the song with a live tv performance

"Ghost" selected by iHeartRadio as the next "On the Verge" song! Not sure if it's for Top 40 or Hot AC radio, but either way, Ella is finally going to begin receiving the airplay that she deserves!

Looks to be Hot AC - Coast 93.3 is one of the stations coming up as a promoter. Headline Planet now also confirming that it is indeed Hot AC. Hopefully the song will be able to translate the airplay surge on Hot AC into a corresponding boost on Top 40 radio, just like "Cool Kids" managed to do.

It's great for buzz, a good thing to have in your reel, and it can help build momentum (especially via YouTube views the next day) but it's not big enough to majorly move the sales needle. Performers are generally more of the on the verge/buzzworthy variety, but they'll occasionally get some big stars. FGL did it recently, and TI does it next week.

At least she is in the top 100 of itunes. In my opinion they release this too soon without the proper promo. It's not to late to make it happen, but they need to do something

They launched this too soon and half-cocked- now was the time after UK/world album launch and single #2 launch. The next week is the make or break of this, with 3 TV appearances. Fingers crossed because Ghost deserves success and she deserves to break through.

Still adamant that this will be a hit. Not with these pop updates. Only +4 spins today and down to 43 on the chart. Doing much better on HOT AC and already top 25 there. Hopefully next weeks promo helps?

Hopefully next weeks promo helps? I am still a believer in quality music usually prevailing. I said the same for Adele and Ed Sheeran in the past. In hoping this follows that same course.

I guess being the "On the Verge" artist for HOT AC is paying off for her.
