I think we all saw the IDW performance at the Brits coming. Expect the same at the Grammys.

All those songs dropping big stacks of spins in the top 10, and radio still f**ks this over in favour of 'Stay'. Radio truly is insufferably stupid.

I'm even more surprised that this is bottoming out in the bottom of the top 10 in AC and HAC. Is Easy on Me still dominating there?

This is the end, hold your breath and count to ten...
I'm excited for that IDW video she teased.

This is a good quality song but it doesn't cater to the younger listeners. It's more of a Hot AC or AC song.

It's funny you say this, because I actually think out of all of the Adele songs this is the song that caters to a younger, more pop-friendly, audience. It's not like Easy on Me and Someone Like You were made for Gen Z to eat up.

The only song with a potential younger reach is Can I Get It but this felt like the much better choice to me. That one can always be the fourth single. All things considered, this did its job, being the focus track on release week, going top 5, etc. But it does feel like a slight underperformance. I guess something about it is falling short with listeners

I expected this to be a bigger hit too but what have they really done to push it except for the video release?

It's not like Easy on Me and Someone Like You were made for Gen Z to eat up. And maybe that’s the problem, it caters too much (or tries to). People know Adele and likely know what they want from her, and that might not be contemporary, modern, pop songs. On one hand, I’m not surprised this is peaking where it is - though I am surprised considering how many falling songs are ahead of it. Given there’s little in the way of competition, this should be doing better if only on that basis alone.

I got hate for it, but weeks ago when I saw how poor its streaming was (outside of the first week) I knew it wasn't catching on. Hopefully the next single can be a bit of a rebound.

With all her money they couldn’t have had it pushed!? Lame. It’s so close.

I don't think the song is at fault here. People also loved "When We Were Young", "Rumour Has It" and "Water Under the Bridge". She just needs to give people excuses to find those songs, especially after millions already own them with their album purchase. The "imma do a random song from the album" has always been a terrible move and it also hurt WWWY and WUTB. This time it's even worse because we've had three high profile IDW performances and zero OMG ones.

There seems to be a bad wind coming towards Adele for what ever reason. The Vegas residency, bad press after the Brit Awards and now this stalling. I think they need to do a re-release or remix of something next If they want the era to have longer legs.

What bad press post-Brits is she getting? I googled and it was all raves about her three wins. I know the Vegas thing was a mess but the Adelecalypse has been mostly much ado about nothing so far.
The song has been showing unpromising signs on streaming for a while as well so it's not completely new that this is stalling/about to stall. I recall comments including my own hoping the video would ignite some fire but tbh that was a complete non-event.

If I'm not mistaken didn't someone say Adele wanted "I Drink Wine" as the second single but the label pushed for this?

It's always the worst when a top 10 finish is basically gift-wrapped but the label just gave up and went home.

A couple things annoy me about its sudden drop though. It was so close to the top 10 and that its debut callouts weren't bad at all and would've likely improved quite a bit.
I assume they're going to push "I Drink Wine" as the next single with a Grammy performance.

I agree with radio being trash lol and killing lots of songs prematurely in recent times. BUT also this left-field non-promotion strategy by Adele’s team is getting old. Bring some more life to a song that’s begging for attention. One performance instead of 3 for a non(yet) single is all was asked. I guess she really wanted IDW to be second and promo would’ve been aligned with that. But once plans change, promo should change accordingly. If IDW is next single, then a lot of promo has already happened so the may even have promo for other songs once that one’s sent for adds

I'm pissed radio is dropping this, but also annoyed at Adele and the label for not doing anything to promote this. Not having one live performance of your second single is annoying. I would understand a bit more if this was a song that struggled to crack Top 40 on radio, or the Hot 100, but not a song that has maintained itself on the Top 100 in streaming (albeit not as high as it should be) for almost 3 months, spins away from being a Top 10 hit on radio.
I still think this was sent for adds too early, which I'm sure is another reason for this.

I haven’t listened to the album in a while but I think I remember I Drink Wine (and Love Is A Game) being my favourite. I can’t see it doing much on radio without an edit cutting a minute and a half out (which won’t be hard when the last minute is piano and talking) but I am 100% in support of it being pushed a single! Never really cared for this or Can I Get It, so happy the other songs are being considered

I'm guessing the lack of promotion for this one is because Adele is more passionate about "Wine" being a single. "Easy On Me" has had great longevity so she probably isn't too bothered that this one isn't smashing the charts. I do think it made sense to release this as the second single since this (and "Can I Get It") are more upbeat and immediate coming off an album release. They would have taken attention away from "Wine" had it been chosen second since that one, much like actual wine, gets better with time. It's very relatable and has the potential to be a big hit for her.

She doesn't care, so why should radio and y'all? Sis was up on Graham Norton all happy about her next hiatus.

I think I Drink Wine will flop harder than this. Oh well, you win some you lose some.

She's more of an albums artist. She sold millions of albums already and the lead single was #1 for 10 weeks. She probably won't get another big hit off this album. She doesn't need another big hit as long as the album continues to sell good.

Wow… I actually agree with you here… she has easily had the biggest album sales of anyone last year..and was the biggest album seller in probably quite a few years… the more people that own the album the less streams that will equate
