Nice boost from Jay Leno. I can't wait to see what effect The Today Show has on this :)

Sales are nice, but it would be good to have an airplay update!

Up to 106 on iTunes overall chart! All these girls need is some airplay. People are liking the song when they hear it it seems by its fast rise with only 2 performances.

I hope The Itunes numbers a sign of good things to come. I've had this feeling that their American run would flop, so I am hoping that it doesn't

Sean Paul is basically irrelevant here at this point but She Doesn't Mind was a huge UK hit last year. It should also be noted that this made the Top 50 in Canada, so I think it's pretty likely that it'll chart next week :)

On the dance thread I had mentioned how married life and motherhood for both Una and Rochelle might be somewhat of a detriment (They might be the first girl group in the Poptastic era to actually have mothers in the group while still active), another problem is how as far as tv appearances go, they've pretty much been Comcasted (E! and NBC appearances only). While it was cool to see an NBC peacock bug when they were on Leno, they need to appear on ABC, CBS, Fox, and MTV as well, or else they'll be seem simply as "those English girls w/a reality show on E! who happen to be in a girl group." And that really can't be said considering their success in the UK since '08.

I was just reading on another site that this has finally been sent to CHR stations. No adds date yet, but at least they'll have the song and can start giving it some spins. This is also back up to #112 on iTunes.

I like it. Their singles have ranged from incredible ("Higher", "All Fired Up", "Up") to crap ("Missing You", some others I forget the names of) and this is somewhere in the middle, but it's nice enough. It'll be interesting to see how they do in the States.

I'm nervous I also want to throw out some predictions for their Billboard placings this week. I might be totally off but... #62 Canadian Digital Songs #89 Canadian Hot 100 #14 US Heatseekers Songs

"What about Us" peaked at #102 on US itunes. So close to the top 100. The show really helped it move up, but it needs to be sent to radio in order to keep the momentum. Any news on its radio adds?

It'll be interesting to see how they do in the States. I love "Missing You"! It is one of my favorites by them. I also love "Ego", "All Fired Up", "Higher" and "My Heart Takes Over". I enjoy "What About Us" and I hope it does well, but I wish they had tried to crack America with one of their previous singles.

I completely agree about Missing You, I've never understood the hate that song gets or why they've completely dropped it from their setlist.

Again slightly off topic, Missing You would never get any airplay over here! With how everyone is anti-violence in songs these days.. Even though this song is not violent in anyway, but apparently a lot of people hear Stab instead of Slap, the way they sing "Don't know if I should slap you kiss you".. People would hear that and over react, and demand it be taken off radio! I wish I was joking, but people can be that stupid!
Back on topic! The second episode of the Show was way better than the first and showed off their individual personalities a bit more, now I have no idea why Radio isn't adding the song yet, or why E hasn't decided to air the music video in any manner, like on E News or even have a PREMIERE after that episode

Missing You would be huge in the states. Perfect summer anthem.

The Label really needs to send to song out for adds. Maybe they're waiting till the season is over. In a recent interview Rochelle said something about a summer release. Maybe they are waiting a bit longer to send it out.
What do you guys think about Faster??? I know it was never a single in the UK but it should have been included in the LP or released in the states. Faster was played constantly in many department stores in the US last year. I think that it could do very well in the states.

Funny you should say that, because I've heard Notorious in clothing stores a few times. That's pretty cool. As far as putting it on the EP, I think it would be a pretty random choice. If they were to stick an On Your Radar album track on it I think Get Ready, Get Set or White Lies would be more fitting. Probably the former as they've never performed White Lies.

Hopefully the song can crack the Itunes 100. It always peaks just one or two spots from entering the chart! Radio is a key factor though, hopefully the label/management send this out soon.

at Europe getting the version with the rapper and the US label thinking it unnecessary. When did such a mind-boggling switch occur? Also, I just watched the "Forever Is Over" video again. I know it's from 2009, but it doesn't sound dated at all, and I think it would actually perform quite well here as a 3rd or 4th single.
