Maybe my ears are trained to hear them but I have no issues hearing all of them on this. Lance is the only one who is really hard for me to hear, but that was never uncommon in their older music, either.
Until the SAG/Aftra strike finds a resolution, this song and the hype surrounding the reunion is really the only promotion for the movie. That's not out for several more weeks, so I feel like RCA and DreamWorks are going to be working this pretty hard to ensure it's a hit. I think it will do just fine though.

I listened to it once, it’s kinda blend. However, I wish JC has more parts in the song.

There's an official lyric video on the Trolls YT channel but NSync are all members of SAG so until the strike is resolved no video or real promo (appearances, etc). No idea how it is doing on streaming offhand but I know Cumulus and Audacy stations (and I think iHeart?) are playing hourly across pop, AC and Hot AC. Why are *NSYNC members of SAG?

Justin, Lance and Joey are all actively working in tv/movies regularly, Chris has done voice work on several shows, and JC maintains his membership.

Wow, pretty nice updates! I wonder if it can get to #1 on AC before the Xmas freeze?
I think top 5 is pretty safe for HOT AC and easy top 10 on pop? Will see if it can hold on steam. Hopefully with the strikes ending they can maybe get on a talk show and promote or something

I like the song it's cute but for God's sake other than JC's vocals where are the NSYNC vocals? It's basically Justin ft. JC Chasez Isn't that the basis of most NSYNC songs (seriously?) lol Actually no i can clearly hear them all singing in other songs for them

I am so angry at myself for liking this because I hate JT with a passion, but this is a harmless fun bop. And fun pure pop songs from male vocalists are few and far between, so...

I don't get why radio is going so hard for this. it is their first single since 2002 and they were still huge at the time of the breakup. nostalgia plays a big factor so it should not be surprising . streaming so far is not very good so it might stall in the coming weeks.

Even as a lifelong *NSYNC hater and Backstreet lover, I actually don’t mind this.

This clearly had a radio deal too. It's not like radio is spinning it this much on its own.

Idk how to describe it but this sounds like a BTS English radio single, like Butter or Dynamite. I actually thought it was BTS when I heard it this morning.

The latest flyer from RCA confirms that they closed the Pop panel during the impact date.

It's been over 20 years since *Nsync were in the CHR Top 40 ("Girlfriend"). Oddly enough, we have a second superlong absence being resolved (Kylie Minogue). Both have to rank high on the 'gaps between top 40 hits' list (Minogue in fact would qualify twice).

"BETTER PLACE" is expected to debut in the top 30 on billboard hot 100 chart this week.
I wonder if it can go top 20 or even top 10 once the movie comes out and more promo.

Well, radio will probably be supporting it for a few more weeks at the very least. The movie coming out should hopefully help stabilize and maybe increase streaming.

It’s decent song, but wow doing absolutely nothing on streaming and overall going unnoticed.
JT honestly has one of the most surprising/shocking career trajectories by an artist in recent times. It is fascinating to me.
In the 2000s he seemed like *the* most universally loved popstar. His music was loved by women, straight men, the black community, etc. All across the board. Then in 2013 he had that huge comeback which seemed to just cement his status as ascending into legendary. It seemed as if the status Beyoncé has become was what also what he was destined to be.
Even in 2016, the first Trolls single "Can’t Stop the Feeling" debuts at #1 and just becomes a massive smash effortlessly.
Then we get the Man of the Woods flub and it's just been further and further descending. 10 years ago an NSYNC comeback single woulda seemed like an easy chart hit and gathered lots of consumption and public interest. This just completely went under the radar even with a massive radio push.
It seems like if he dropped a new album today absolutely nobody would be interested. 10 years ago he seemed to be on a Beyoncé trajectory and now its like he instead reached a Katy Perry trajectory.

Which, to be fair, I wouldn't describe as 'bad'. I guess it all depends on one's perspective.
