How exactly did this reach Top 10 on the Hot 100? Good for him, but... how? Sales, it was the third song on the digital sales chart. And it had a good week at streaming too. Of course it will go down from now on, specially with such bad airplay

seems so weird to me that its position is the same of sugar's debut. the latter seemed so much bigger that week than this.

Well, all song in the top 10 of the hot 100 are selling well. This had one version at number one part of the week and the other in the top 50, it was number 3 of the week but nearer of UF than the usual of songs in that position. In this case i think sales is clearly the thing that pushed it to top 10, people were thinking about a top 15 placement but the streaming was good too. Position on chart not only depends of how the song did but how the others songs did, and with a very dominating top 5 like we have now, it's not that difficult that a song with great sales ends high on the chart

A little better update today, curiously pop callout scores are way better than hot AC ones, maybe it will help this to go a little further on the chart
It entered on the Urban AC chart with a healthy bullet

Yeah this has already burned on me. Literally all three singles have burned very fast on me (and you can include "Like I Can"). He has a great voice, but I feel like his music is just so boring.

Lately the updates are more decent (on pop because on hot ac is stalling a bit, but the callout scores are way better on pop than on hot ac so maybe that's the reason).
Is there any reason why suddenly Leave your lover is so high on itunes? It's top 200 now when usually was out of top 500. There's no way Leave your lover be next single (unless the label wants to kill his career releasing all the slow songs in a row) and it's simply too soon for another single, so i don't understand the reason of that sudden rise

I assume that's the reason for the rise.

It lost number one on UK, now number 6, he still has five singles (well, four singles and two version of one of them) in the top 40. The album remains at two. If George Ezra climbs two spots it would be four solo new artist (three in their first album and Ed in his second) on the top positions of the chart, it seems the holy trinity of british male singers could become a quarted now that James Bay seems to want to join the club
Lay me down is top 30 on Urban AC (Stay with me is still number 3 there without real signs of dropping, and I'm not the only one remains in the top 10). Pop callout scores are really good, curiously the callout scores are quite bad on Hot AC (not that the song shows signs of not going top 10 there anyway)

Did he perform somehwere? because the solo version climbed more that 20 positions and it's now at 33, and there's a third version of the song at 106

^^^^I believe He performed this solo last night on the "IHeart" radio awards. A lot of the artists who performed last night have gained a decent amount in sales.

I know he wasn't actually at the show, but was that a live performance video or the/an actual music video which was played on the awards show?

There's so many songs I still want released from him this era. Like I Can, Nirvana, Restart, Leave Your Lover...they all should be good sized hits. Even something like Life Support could do well I think. A shame this might be it for this era.

I don't think he'll end his era with this, this is just the third single (he released 5 in UK) and unless he is going to release a new album soon (i didn't hear anything about that) there's no reason to not release Like i can after this, or even go for a fifth single is there's no new album soon.
Given his level of success one has the impression he was in the business since forever but the fact is the album was released less than a year ago. The fact that the album continues to sell really well is another reason to not rush things, with another single In the lonely hour will pass the two millions without a problem

Sam pre-recorded his performance of "Lay Me Down" that was shown during the awards. It was staged in a way that looked like it could be a music video.

He will perform at the billboard awards, but i'm not sure if he will sing this. The song stalled on the top 20 of itunes, and it doesn't seem it will climb, and right now it looks like a top 15 peak on pop. On Rhythmic it's getting some trouble to chart, and on Hot AC probably will reach top 10 after an effort. On AC and Urban AC thing look more promising.
So by may, maybe it will be time on thinking in sending Like i can, but probably he will wait to take the decision

There is yet another new version of this, featuring production by Tiesto, under Cool New Music at a few formats (HAC, Rhythmic, Urban, Dance). And yet my favorites are still the original EP and album versions.

Now I'm not feeling this. Should've pushed Money On My Mind, Restart or Like I Can.

I'm so sick of this guy and the endless ballads. He's an instant channel-changer now. I really liked Latch tho, but I am totally burnt out on this slow, sappy stuff. Bleh.

This song is pretty much dead on pop (maybe it will reach top 10 on hot AC, and probably will do better on AC and Urban AC).
Now it's pretty clear it was a mistake (i don't say big mistake because the song is top 20 on pop and top 10 on the Hot 100 so it was very far from being a flop). He has a performance at the billboard awards next month and it will be the perfect time to release something new. And when i say something new i'm talking about Like i can and not another ballad (i love his ballads but enough is enough). So better move his ass, learn a couple of dance moves and do a good performance, frankly at this point i think radio will eat anything of him that it's not another ballad, and even the time of the year is perfect for something uptempo
