Glad to see it's so close to top 40 already.

Hated all 3 of the Revival singles, and this 4th is worse than the other three.

This is going to severely underperform. I see it having a run similar to "Company." Well, it's an interesting case, because even though she's also coming off three straight #1s - she doesn't seem nearly as "hot" at radio as Bieber did. Her momentum really seemed to vanish during Hands To Myself, which made that country radio style push to #1 seem all the more jarring. So I don't know that anyone was expecting her new single -- even if she went with more board favorites like Sober or Me & The Rhythm -- to hit #1. Not even sure people were assuming Top 10. There absolutely was an expectation that Bieber would do so. Thus, I think this would have to do pretty poorly, like miss the Top 25, to be considered a Company-style underperformer. What is eerily reminiscent of Company is the utter lack of promo. If the song is not already on the radar, you have to actually promote the song to drive sales. Bieber didn't release a video or do any TV until it was too late; I'm worried we're going to get the same or worse with Selena, since a) she's on tour and b) she hasn't really been doing any promo for this album as it is.

She has very few days off during this tour... She's pretty much nonstop through mid-July when she has two weeks before going over to Asia for that leg of the tour. If she hasn't shot a video, maybe there won't be one. Or maybe it'll be a tour video. She's closing the show with this song (before the encore) and has consistently said it's her favorite song from the album at least in terms of its message. So I can't imagine them doing nothing for it...

Given that it has been half a year since the previous video came out, it may be better to just let this do what it would and launch a re-release with a new track to tide things over until the next album.

I think the Company comparisons are not deserved, at least yet. It's off to a better start than expected.

Let's see where this goes. Expecting a top 40 peak though on the hot 100.

For all the doom & gloom in people's reactions to this song, it's climbing quite nicely.

Well I guess it could, "Company" started out great as well. I think the comparison comes from they both announced their 4th single to a near thud. People didn't seem to care as much as prior singles and complained they were picked. Both songs were/are struggling on ITunes for a Bieber/Selena song when released/aanounced and they don't seem as interested in pushing it.

This is exactly the kind of filler song radio loves though. It's pleasant and it's not a station changer and sometimes that's all a song needs to be. But will it push downloads or albums and drive her discography forward? Probably not. Unless she brings it with a stellar video to make it even remotely memorable.
As is, I'm predicting a respectable pop showing (5-15) and outside of the top 30 on the hot 100. Unless the video slays.

I think it can have a high peak on hot 100 if they are smart and release the video in a month from now. Gives the song time increase on radio and iTunes on its own. The song may not be doing great with sales but it keeps increasing on a daily basis. It was out of the 1500 on iTunes a few days ago and now it's about to crack the top 700.

KEWK is completely pleasant for the summer in a way that "Sober", whose messaging is decidedly not summery, may not have been. If her next album isn't coming out for a while (even though there's already a new song being performed on the tour...) then maybe "Sober" can still follow this.

This barely happened. lol.

This is by far her worst single to date. After 3 fantastic choices, following them up with this album filler at best is something someone needs fired over. This really shouldn't have even made the album. Aside from the whistling, it has zero redeeming qualities.
Really hoping whatever the next single is (whether it's single number five or a new lead single), it's amazing to get the bad taste of this out of my mouth. Hoping for a new lead single since I don't recall anything else from the album sounding incredibly amazing.

This really shouldn't have even made the album. Aside from the whistling, it has zero redeeming qualities. This is a little harsh... It's a good and catchy dance-pop track, though not more than that. I'd put it above "Round & Round", "Tell Me Something I Don't Know", and "Falling Down" in her singles discography.

If they want Summer single, why don't they choose Me & The Rhythm instead!? It have smash written all over it.
After that, release Sober in Fall, and boom, five top 10 singles in Hot 100 this era, and I really can't see Sober and Me & The Rhythm peaking anywhere below top 5 in Pop.

I'm not a huge fan of this song, but I heard it on the radio yesterday and found myself actually enjoying it. It fit well on the radio and has that summery/breezy kind of feel.
