I can't believe they're performing WMYB again! :smh:

They could've at least chosen One Thing or something. Singing the same song at every show pretty much confirms their one-hit-wonder status.

too too true

I hate that they're singing WMYB at the VMAs. Syco are just too stupid for words. They should have premiered the song last week and sent it for adds so it could build up on the airplay charts and gain audience impressions. Then perform it at the VMAs and release midnight after the performance. BOOM INSTASMASH.

On the other hand it makes sense in that all their noms are for WMYB and they can't do One Thing because if they finally blew up it would potentially harm LWWY.

It P's me off to be honest, their whole career is based on one song and they're just proving it.

Except no. Their whole album has had more longevity in the charts than most big pop artists have had with their latest albums. How many boybands can say these days? They're strong album sellers, strong tour sellers and decent single sellers. To say their career is based on one song is just wrong. They've established themselves in almost every aspect of the industry.

that's really their only single here in the US. I think the general public will be disappointed if they don't sing that.

Totally agree. One Thing could have blew up before their new album's release but NO!

Well I'd say this isn't exactly fair, given that millions have the album and that this is their FIRST ALBUM. Most album campaigns have one HUGE hit that defines an artist/group for that campaign but they've only had 1 album, for a new group to even have one WMYB size hit is amazing in itself. I have no doubt in my mind LWWY will come along and be absolutely massive and then everyone will know that too but I still think it's fair to call them one hit wonders especially when they haven't even been given a chance to prove otherwise.

The only reason people think so is because WYMB is so huge. Their other singles haven't flopped by any means really. They just don't look so good because WMYB was so huge and thus subsequent singles look ****ty by comparison.
