Loreen - Is It Love?

[Velvet Skies]

Just heard "Is It Love" for the first time on French radio, further research indicates that it currently occupies the dizzying heights of #36 on the country's radio chart

I like how France goes doolally for Loreen on a 3 month delay

Fantastic airplay chartrun in the Netherlands. It was also up to 12 in our Top 40.

 

[Jark]

Didn't it actually peak at 70 on the singles top 100?

Could be but overall I feel the Top 40 still feels like our most official chart.

 

[Devil]

New peak on Dutch Spotify yesterday so assume it may climb both charts again anyway?

Indeed. Re-entry at 51 in the singles top 100, up to 10 in the top 40.

Up 10 places at #26 on the radio chart
New peak of #74 on daily Spotify this week-end
Enters the official chart at #165
It's a hit

Vive la France et notre mère!

This is still on the rise in mainland Europe, peaking in the top 30 on Spotify in France, Netherlands and Belgium. About to pass 40m streams worldwide too, not bad at all for a Eurovision winner's followup single. Maybe she'll actually release another song this year!

 

[Kratz]

That's decent. It's a shame it gained no traction here, considering how well Tattoo did.

I hope she's smart enough to drop a full length album come Eurovision week.

AS IF she's going to inconvenience herself with that amount of work.

Ask Cazzi to write 12 songs for her and record one a month for fuck's sake!

Even Agnetha managed to work full-time for six weeks on the Voyage motion capture.

 

[Jark]

the streaming numbers are low key kinda fantastic given how slowly it started out

imagine if it had a middle 8 etc etc

I really hope she performs it as part of the opening in Malmo, which I presume she is doing as the reigning champ.

 

[Funky]

This was such a great song from someone who isn’t generally in my wheelhouse. While I’ve always assumed she had pipes, the big songs I did know from her (probably 2!) are big trance pop numbers with a lot going on - this song you can hear the emotion and tone in her voice much more, and it’s lovely.

 

[VoR]

For those who wish it was longer, there's now an Orchestral version.

 

[tommie]

I just noticed that it's taken off in the mainland - still #33 in France, #36 Luxembourg, #39 Netherlands and #45 Belgium on Spotify. It was probably too low-key to properly catch on big time, but it's still doing somewhat respectable I guess? Hopefully they'll actually have a banger out for Eurovision, if not an album.

 

[Kevin]

It’s still huge on AirPlay here in the Netherlands.

 

[tommie]

I was admittingly a bit dubious about it at first, but it actually sounds great on radio so I'm not surprised that it might catch on in some markets that give it a proper go.

I just wish we knew what her next plans are.

IT'S A HIT

I suspect only her psychic knows.

[Velvet Skies]

Is It Love finally cracked the French top 50 this week, up 14 places at #47 !
It's huge on radio (#5) and reached a new peak of #24 on Spotify daily.
Meanwhile Tattoo is only just slowly going down, sitting at #66 this week.

 

[Jark]

I wonder if anyone has told her

 

[Jark]

there'd better be a fucking album with this
