Oh, come on, this was the obvious choice. They messed with the release of Life of the party (i still think that song could be at least top 20 if they really push it when the song was released on itunes) and Something good (it was pretty clear the second run was not going to happen, and in fact the song did worse than Life of the party on that second run).
So he needed something new, and this time give him a video (Life of the party which is his biggest hit till now not even have one) and promote the poor guy the right way for a change

And he just released a video for "Aftertaste." His label is messed up.
"Stitches" sounds like a hit though.

Like Life of the party doesn't have the teen sound (which in my opinion it's a plus) but i think it's more comercial and radio ready. It could be his first hit on radio

Okay, I've become obsessed with Stitches (the instrumental reminds me of Bright at times). And I love the girl, does anyone know who she is?

I don't know who she is but she is in all his videos I posted above. He is doing a series of videos revolving around a storyline she is starring in. Part 1 was "Never Be Alone." Part 2 was the official video for "Life of the Party." Part 3 was "Stiches." Part 4 was "Aftertaste."

At last proper promo of the single. I think it's the correct single to break, it's more commercial than Life of the party and way better representation of his music than Something big
By the way, Aftertaste is a hit waiting to happen. If he ends failing someone in his label should be fired. The teen version of Ed Sheeran is going to work way better than if they try an Justin Bieber/One direction approach

The song is near top 100 on itunes too.
If we were on a normal week it will be top 50, but right now reach top 50 it's really hard. It will be several purges this week and probably a good bunch of recurrents in the following ones, so hopefully it will make top 50 soon. The bullet is good enough to think it will keep on climbing

He deserved to have his top 40 hit (no matter how the label is screwing the releases) and i think he will get it with this song

This is by far the best song ive heard from him thus far. Still has a teeny and cheesy feel to it, but the beat and chorus are undeniably infectious.
