I've heard this song a few times, and it doesn't sound like something that would be big in the U.S. It'll chart for sure, but it won't go top 20 or anything.
I could be wrong though... All I know is that it's a weird song. There are times where the female singer sings the song in such a appalling way, but aside from that, the rest track is also oddly appealing?

I think of her like Sia. At first it’s like ‘what the fuck is this’ and then u get it’s pop with heart and a distinctive voice. I think if given a chance this will blow up in the states. It has everywhere else

Lol at somebody mentioning Higher Love as a global smash... No no no This is absolutely massive EVERYWHERE. I picked this up in early August and got over it SO quickly as it massively blew up in Europe, literally everybody calls it overplayed here already that's how huge it is It should be a Sweet But Psycho situation but maybe not as big, Top 20 seems like a safe bet though I could be wrong

Number one in Australia, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Ireland, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Scotland, Sweden, Switzerland, AND the UK, top ten in France, Iceland, Italy, and Poland, and top 40 in Canada, Czech Republic, Greece, Hungary, Singapore, Slovakia, and Slovenia, but only 7 on the US bubbling under. Very surprising worldwide hit, it has to be her unique voice, and I have to say I don’t hate it as much as I did when I first heard it. Having said that, I don’t think this’ll be a big US hit because of her voice, but anything can happen, and I’m always rooting for something different.

Saw her last week live. Her story is pretty amazing. She is 19. Was a street busker that was living out of her van. She was playing and selling cds on the street, apparently barely had any money. She recorded her song ‘Johnny run away’ about her best friend being gay and submitted to a community radio station that started playing it and it caught on. She then wrote dance monkey for a open mic night and had it recorded for 800 dollars and it’s become a global smash. She is so shy, her voice is better live and she is so humble. She is an independent artist (which means she is now making BANK). I hope she has a long career .
Listen to Johnny run away - it’s beautiful.

Not a huge fan of the song now, but I just love seeing an Aussie making it big around the world. I hope this does well stateside.

Added by Radio Disney. Seems like the kind of song that would play there and only there just last decade.

Just listened to this for the first time and I like this. Her tone is really unique and striking and takes some getting used to. I love the chill old school sounding production. I can see why this is smashing. I don't know if it will do as well as it did internationally here, but anything is possible.
