United Kingdom 2024: Olly Alexander - Dizzy

[Apoca]

Give me some

YUUUROPE! Oooow!

 

[GinAg (39)]

*drops mic*

 

[Soldi]

 

[Kratz]

That’s a pretty solid performance for the first week? The YouTube views look decent also.

That’s a pretty solid performance for the first week? The YouTube views look decent also.

I feel like it took Mae and Sam longer to reach this benchmark.

 

[Raining on Me]

Given he's already an established recording artist with a profile here, you would expect him to be higher out of the gates than anyone else we've sent though, surely?

Not trying to piss on the chips by the way, I'm happy if it's doing well for him.

 

[lolly]

I feel like it took Mae and Sam longer to reach this benchmark.

Mae took a day less. Sam I don't know.

 

[Pingu]

Sam’s song was out on streaming for a couple of weeks before the announcement so probably not comparable.

 

[Raining on Me]

Mae took a day less. Sam I don't know.

Mae got to a million before Olly? I'm quite shocked at that

 

[Raining on Me]

Not that it means anything of course, apart from the ones that really break out streaming wise I suppose.

 

[lolly]

Mae got to a million before Olly? I'm quite shocked at that

Judging by that same account, yes. They tweeted that Mae did it on day 6, Olly day 7.

[Kratz]

I guess we'll get our first impression of how this is going to sound live tomorrow. Let's hope we're not all hiding behind the sofa.

 

[lolly]

Judging by that same account, yes. They tweeted that Mae did it on day 6, Olly day 7.

And Mae hit 2m on day 12, if anyone is keen to continue comparing.

Not sure if you have this to hand @lolly but was Mae quick out the gate with radio? I know she number one on airplay the week of Eurovision.

 

[lolly]

No idea sorry, unless someone has posted updates in her thread last year.

 

[Halli]

With the ONE SHOW promo he will be getting millions and zillions of streams surely!

 

[Kratz]

 

[GNL]

Here's the perf for all you DIZZY DREAMERS (derogatory).

 

[Kala]

There’s heavy autotune on this.

 

[Kratz]

There’s heavy autotune on this.

Let's have some heavily auto-tuned pre-recorded BVs on the night

 

[VoR]

In at #42

 

[Kala]

In at #42

Mae was in at #30 on her first week.

 

[ManicKangaroo]

Not sure if you have this to hand @lolly but was Mae quick out the gate with radio? I know she number one on airplay the week of Eurovision.

Not particularly; she charted at 60 on 10th March, climbed to 17 and then dropped back to 31 and then 41 before climbing again in the lead up to Eurovision

 

[bypass]

That first perfomance sounds absolutely but Vevo are quite heavy handed with their pre-recorded vocals so i'll reserve judgement until we've heard it on Saturday.

Shitty that it didn't debut in the top 40 though

 

[rhythmbandit]

Olly performed on Saturday Night Takeaway but it was mimed and Ant and Dec got involved in some comedic sketches.

 

[rhythmbandit]

 

[ZenGiraffe]

...what in the CHANNEL FOR PLEBS was that?

 

[Lucille]

Are Ant & Dec not 80 years old by now?

 

[Hak]

Kind of wish this was the ESC performance

 

[ButterTart]

I was worried when I heard he mimed but it was just a necessity because Ant and Dec were planning to twat about all throughout it.

 

[Suomi]

The Norwegian twinks are going to eat him alive

 

[Penelope]

The Norwegian twinks are going to eat him alive

I told you all lowering the age of consent was a terrible idea

 

[Kratz]

Perhaps but Dizzy is the better song

 

[Penelope]

Despite superficial geolocational dating app profile stat and bpm similarities, I believe they are fundamentally shooting for different audiences. This is pitching for the Gustaph vote, whereas Marcus & Martinus are pitching for the Notes on a Scandal vote

 

[Penelope]

(omg just remembered Gustaph received more points from the UK televote than Tattoo again )

 

[Kratz]

(omg just remembered Gustaph received more points from the UK televote than Tattoo again )

So did BLANKA!

That's because we have a high population of POLES and HOLES.

 

[Jark]

With the ONE SHOW promo he will be getting millions and zillions of streams surely!

he's actually #1 on global Spotify today

Whatever alternate universe the UK televote is in - send me there at once
