I don't see why people think she won't film a video for this song. She recorded a video for all of her singles from 19 and for RITD/SLY. The only single she didn't film a video for was "Set Fire To The Rain", but even then I saw the live version at the Royal Albert Hall get frequent plays on the music video channels in the UK. Can't wait for February to come around and for this song to be promoted - should do wonders for its sales and the sales fo the album! Rumour has it ? . No video . Cannot say I saw the video for SLY , remember the tv performance . Loved her appearance on James Corden , brilliant .

I was curious why WWWY wasn't included on the Carpool Karaoke as well. Perhaps it's being held until they are ready to push the video/hopefully on Spotify/Grammy performance.

Oh no! Is this gonna pull an unconditionally, a judas?? A lot of songs didn't gain as much as they usually do or fell harder than usual on today's update, so I think it should be fine. However I'm surprised that it's not getting massive updates and storming its way to #1. It looks like it's gonna get passed by "Cake By The Ocean" in a few days... I hope the Grammys will boost this song's performance!

In many cases, a drop like this might mean the end is neigh, but I got a feeling this one still has the big push still to come. #1 could happen, maybe not, but it'll go much higher.
It's funny because a year ago, I said this would happen. The first single would huge while the ones that came after wouldn't be. But then when I saw the reaction to Hello and the album sales, you kind of can't help but change any lowball prediction but now that it's faltering, it almost seems... wrong? It's still easy to get carried away with that giant success and let it dictate the future. This *could* still pull a Judas/Unconditionally.

In all honesty, the type of music Adele makes doesn't really fit in that well on CHR and is more at home at Hot AC and AC. I always felt like her success at Pop was an anomaly (granted it's a nice change of pace) and "Hello" did as well as it did because the anticipation for her new album was sky high.
"When We Were Young" is a nice song and still may end up a huge hit but it's not getting the updates that Pop staples such as Katy Perry and Taylor Swift typically receive. Will be interesting to see what happens.

This could still mean nothing. However, I really feel like this was always the wrong single choice. There's plenty of strong material on the album to choose from and I'm not really sure what makes Adele and her team gravitate to this song over any of the others. I think that obviously Water Under the Bridge or Send My Love would have been able to better sustain and take advantage of Hello's momentum. But I even think that All I Ask, Million Years Ago or Remedy could have had a much bigger impact by now. I feel like you have to try really hard to squander the kind of momentum she had on radio, but they may have found one of the few songs on the cd that could do it.

Oh stop it. IMO this is still the best single choice. One of the best in the album along with All I Ask n Water Under the Bridge. Its just Adele overload in misic world, altho her hype has died down alot, but she might have hit the ceiling. Still love this song!!!

To a certain extent yes, but it also went straight in to #1 in callout scores and held that position for a long while (I think it was still #1 on callout scores before the freeze). I'm sure the negative update is just a blip - can see it gaining nicely once February and promotion begins.

I think Adele's music is very CHR-friendly and has always been. Her songs are powered by epic, addicting choruses, hence why she has been able to cross just about any radio format. How is her music not very CHR-friendly? Because it's slow? CHR radio is much more than Dr. Luke/Max Martin radio fodder. Whether or not "When We Were Young" becomes a big hit does not change that. Taylor and Katy have had a few duds on pop radio with much CHR-friendlier stuff, so I wouldn't use them as a barometer. It's possible that WWWY just wasn't a strong single. We'll see. I also don't think her success at pop radio is all that much of an anomaly either.
Also, it seems as though that just about every song has had a weak update today. Panel change?

I don't think comparing her AirPlay to Katy Perry is fair ! Being that Adele has sold 4 X the album in 2 months than Katy's did in a 2 years ... Let's get real

^^ i think comparing airplay is fair. Digital download sales is a different story, since many more people have owned the whole album.

she was getting quite a bit of backlash on our local radio station's morning show this past week. I dont think this will do as well as hello, not as much wide appeal
