Hopefully this is just a fluke update. But I also wouldn’t be surprised if this was nearing the end of the road. So what if this tanks, it happens all the time. As long as they don’t waste time trying to make it happen and are quick with the next move, the era can still have plenty of momentum. “Scared to Live” would be a wise choice to start pushing immediately.

The same thing happened to "Blinding Lights" when it was approaching the top 20 on Pop radio, it'll be probably be fine, although these coming days will reveal whether that's true.

Well we should note that “Blinding Lights” at this point was doing better in streaming, and it didn’t even have a music video for the first 8 weeks of its chart life. While I agree the next few days will be telling, I already feel that all the telltale signs are there for the destiny of this single, even looking outside of its radio performance. The label can definitely push it to the top of airplay, but without streaming behind it, this will cause the era to lose a lot of momentum. Because “Blinding Lights” is at its peak right now, they have a few weeks to decide where to go next. It might be wise to just drop “In Your Eyes” completely. It does come off as a mild “Blinding Lights.” “Scared to Live” just has a wider cross format appeal and shows him in a more vulnerable state. That song can work on all the formats BL hit, plus Urban and Urban AC. That’s a win. Also it seems like we all forget about the song “After Hours.” That song had a very promising start on streaming platforms. I wonder if they can figure out a way to push it to radio with an edit.

This is another good song, but I want Blinding Lights to last as long as possible to be the biggest hit of the year, and have enough points to land on an all-time list. If that means this stalling, so be it. Songs like BL don’t come around too often.

I don’t know why they chose this as the single for after Blinding Lights when Scared to Live, Save Your Tears, Hardest to Love, After Hours, Snowchild or literally any other song on the album exists.

Snowchild isn't even a good song, much less a good single choice.
Love this though, hope it blows up. I'm sure it's not peaking, but the updates have been underwhelming in general.

This is doing fine. Radio isn't going to kill the follow-up to "Blinding Lights" before Top 20. I think this is moving a bit slower because of how popular the first two singles were/still are at CHR. They gotta phase those out before this really has it's moment. I predict it'll go Top 10 at worst.

honestly, there's really not a lot from the album that stuck out to me, and that's coming from someone who loved Heartless/Blinding Lights/After Hours. Scared to Live was probably the most obvious choice (despite being one of my least favorite songs on the album), but IYE is a fine pick, if not a somewhat safe one. would've liked to see them go for After Hours with a radio edit, especially given that rhythmic/urban picked it up on their own, but i can see how that's a slightly riskier choice for pop.

I have to agree with you on this one. "Blinding Lights" is an exceptional song, one of my favorites of the year, but the rest of the album is a little too same-y for me. It's decent for hypnotic background music, but on the whole there's very few tracks that stand out or that I want to listen to again. My favorite besides BL is probably "Save Your Tears," but I'm not sure how that would work as a single. This song is definitely one of their best choices for a single, and it'll probably do ok, but it doesn't sound like a big hit to me. Either we, he's already done very well this era, so kudos to Abel.

It seems like this is gonna just be In The Night 2.0. Great run at radio, with little presence elsewhere.
I'm not sure why the hype behind this at streaming died after first week, even with a music video ready. Then again, I said during release week they should've waited til after Blinding Lights peaked at radio to push this. It made no sense imo to throw this out while Blinding Lights had yet to peak and even Heartless was still huge at radio.

This needs a push on streaming/sales (and then on callouts) so radio can notice, if nothing is done this won't even reach In The Night's level, may I remind that was a top 3 and had a good placement on Pop year-end charts..

The only thing that can save this would be a remix featuring a big female artist. Either they have that trick up their sleeves in a few weeks or they move on quickly to “Scared to Live.”

Heartless needs to GTFO to give this more of a chance to pick up spins. I really want this to go Top 5 on Pop, so I hope the callouts will be good.
I find it interesting how The Weeknd’s first two singles always smash (CFMF/The Hills, Starboy/IFIC, Heartless/BL) but then the third single seems to always struggle in comparison.
Edit: nevermind, I just realized that Heartless went recurrent lol

I know why the comparisons with "In The Night are being mentioned and honestly they jumped on the POP bandwagon and threw this out TOO Soon. I know the hype was there but to much is to much. Unless all record labels think "everyone has heard it, release it." Why not? (not everyone is on the internet though).... Back in the day people purchased things as you liked them. Now everything is just about free. lol I can see why albums are 3 songs deep now....
It used to be nice to wait for something. (doesn't happen now) Different generation different things I guess, lol

Look at “Perfect” (even before the Beyonce remix) and “Love On The Brain.” Both went Top 5 on the Hot 100 because they became multi format radio smashes. Abel just needs to find that cross format hit, and unfortunately “In Your Eyes” is not it. “Scared to Live” is already off to a strong start on Urban AC. They should go for it next. We probably won’t get a #1 hit but I’m sure a Top 10 would be on lock with strong airplay. 3 top 10 hits off this album would be a nice feat.

I love "In Your Eyes" but I've been getting into "Scared To live" A LOT. I kind of think they should have went with that for all formats and then sent "IYE" to pop when "BL" calms down.

I think he just has too many songs out at radio at once. Releasing all these songs makes sense from a streaming perspective, but pop radio isn't going to put 3 solo songs by him in rotation at once.

I mean they did with Ariana and a few other acts. “Heartless” crashed pretty hard after the album release so I don’t really see the issue here with “In Your Eyes” being pushed early. I really think it just comes down to being the wrong single choice.

I agree, Heartless is still being played a lot, still at #16 on Pop (counting recurrents) and Blinding Lights is #1. I think they should've waited a bit more before releasing a 3rd single.
