I doubt anything else gets pushed, but perhaps it's worth noting that this is getting some radio airplay (at least from Atlanta's CHR) after last week's (random?) fan push for it as a single.

This was played on IHeartRadio's Saturday Night Online to over 100 stations. It's been dubbed #ProjectNoControl on Twitter and entirely fan based. Pretty well organized. I don't know if it'll chart other than the #1 it's already been on the Billboard Trending chart. It's one of the best songs they've ever recorded so I'm happy this is happening. FOUR deserved a 3rd single. I guess they didn't want to promote another song from the album once Zayn left.

This was probably my favorite from the album. I really like this one. It's shame they won't push anymore from the album.

I put this right next to Mr. Brightside by The Killers on the bachelor party playlist I made for this past weekend. KILLED. I will never stop loving this.

The Internet has been EXPLODING to make this a single. Directioners are persistent!

Their fan base is relentless, I have so much respect for them. This sounds pretty nice on first listen!

As a Directioner I am so proud of what we have done with this. I wonder if it will actually debut on the Hot 100 or Bubbling under at least? A lot of radio stations are sporadically playing it, especially in their nightly countdown request shows. We did what their label refused to do and it feels great to go above the heads who said "no" to a 3rd single just cause Zayn's voice was still on it. Louis is the one who drives this song vocally and he does a hell of a good job too!

Sony needs to give it up and just release this as a single officially. Fans love it and even non fans who have heard it recently like it. They won't have a lead single ready til at least September. Plenty of time for this to have a good peak. Just pay Zayn for his part! It's worth it.

I love this and this might actually be my favorite of theirs. I wouldn't mind it as a single, but really, it's pretty doubtful they want to release this.

A song about waking up horny wanting morning sex would sure wipe out any "teeny-bop" appealing to only kids and preteens stereotype left. I think it would be a brilliant move.

Why isn't this in the Pop section?

Why isn't this in the Pop section? It's not an official single. Hence why it's in the Non-single section. |

If they moved songs with random adds that stations add, the official single treads would be much fuller and out of control (insert "No Control" pun here...). |

(Normally I would've moved it considering its adds, but since it's only been a couple and we know they aren't actually pushing it, I left it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ )

Fans are pissed on Twitter and at their shows in Europe. After fans worked so hard to get this song noticed by radio, 1D won't even add it to their set list. Today in Vienna Niall read a fan sign that said "play No Control" and he strummed a few cords on his guitar and then they launched into another song. That's rude imo by whoever makes the decision on what they play live. It's obvious fans want them to perform that one more than any song from FOUR given the big campaign fans created for it. It makes me wonder if Louis can pull off those high notes live in the chorus that he does on the album. If he can't then that's why it's not being performed. |
