Oh I love it. The verses work well for me (the second is particularly good - no retractions) as a counterpoint to the all out, full throttle chorus.
you need about 500k daily streams to make the Spoti 200. that ain't happening for an artist like Jessie!
it's actually not. that's quite normal. NMF has relatively little impact most of the time.She's also fourth billed on this week's New Music Friday UK playlist, so the fact that she couldn’t even crack the 200 from there is pretty damning.

Who are we comparing her to and what are their play counts?If you look through the play counts of the first few listed (ignoring the international artists because the play counts are global) she’s actually doing very very well.
As we know these days only about 4 or 5 songs ever crack the Top 100
In their first week and they’re either hip hop songs which stick around for just a couple of weeks, or mega artists. Everything else has to slowly break through.
I agree, nor does she ever seem intent on playing the industry game and running a hard fast campaign. She does things at her pace and I think she might have just found a groove where she accepts she’s not Kylie and has found decent success and respect and a fan base. A lot of artists are going that way.
She has absolutely no commercial momentum. WYP may have hit the Top ten three times (I believe the original release, a Graham Norton performance and the reissue) but on the first two occasions it had one more week in the top 100, and on the third didn't manage a single further week. It took two years to get to silver status. It failed to produce a single charting single.I think it was a mistake not to have the video ready on release to be honest, particularly following the hype built up with the last album. Jessie doesn't really benefit from breaks in momentum.
