Latest single from Zara Larsson and MNEK called "Never Forget You", which is currently under Cool New Music via AllAccess. The track has reached the Top 10 in the UK, Australia and the Nordic countries so far.

The track is going for pop airplay now, which I assume it means that it's impacting this format, according to the flyer below from Epic.

Does that mean that Lush Life isn't going to get pushed?Because just having 2 singles out for radio never usually works

Does that mean that Lush Life isn't going to get pushed?Because just having 2 singles out for radio never usually works Lush Life did get pushed - it peaked just outside of the Top 50 late last year. It suddenly developed momentum on Spotify and iTunes, but I guess Epic doesn't feel it has enough momentum to change the minds of radio programmers.

I prefer "Lush Life," but this is good too.

This is growing on me, hope it does what "Lush Life" deserved to do.

Better than Lush Life in my opinion. The chorus build up is really great as well as the beats.

I wish "Lush Life" had done something last year, but this blowing up would make up for that song's lack of success.

AllAccess is listing that its impact date was pushed back to February 9. I guess Epic wants more~

I just heard this for the first time and I love it. I do hear the "Where Are You Now" similarities, but it's just the overall vibe of it. This is really well done. I see it being huge in the coming months.

When I first heard this song, I thought it was a Rihanna and Sam Smith collaboration.

Epic sent out another e-mail confirming the February 9 impact date (email says 2/8, but that's cause Epic has this annoying habit of referring to the Monday as the impact date). Interestingly, they refer to the Z100 and KAMP adds as "early," which seems rather disingenuous given that those stations added the song under the notion that it was impacting last Tuesday.

I guess with Rih going artsy fartsy, Zara will do as her replacement.

My brother has been in love with this song for a while now and I finally got around to listening to it. I'm not fond of the vocals, but the instrumental in the verses is nice. The drop is disappointing and annoying. Would much prefer Lush Life to take off! Anyway, why I came here to post anyway, #63 on iTunes

Glad to see this taking off!
I still can't figure out why "Lush Life" didn't take off... (it was pushed right?) I would've preferred to see "Lush Life" become the bigger of the two, but I'm just really happy that US radio is playing Zara Larsson :)

i know they already tried multiple times to get "lush life" going, but after this song does its thing, i really want them to try again. it has strong streaming right now, lots of success around the world, and would have a better chance around spring/summer.

Hope this becomes a massive hit and paves the way for "Lush Life" to be rereleased - especially now that it's been a big hit in Europe and is taking off in the UK.
