[Dojo 19,823]

i bet is not even the peak yet, i feel like this will b a cute hit for them, it's very singable (idk if that's a word)

[Levine 23,917]

Wait Nicki already #7 and Harry #1 again? see the differences between organic hits and cheating for peaks?

[SlaeUrAnus 16,111]

oh yeah, but i feel like this is debuting because of britney fans and people that follows music in general, but something tells me, slowly and gradually the general public is going to start catching up to this song, specially older demographics

Yes, I feel that too. If #6 it's the peak I don't know, but after the natural fall in the second week, I feel that the song will climb again in 2-3 weeks

yeah, i didn't mean it like that

if you watch some videos of elton performing cold heart live, older people, like boomers or pre boomers sing the song word by word, specially dua's part, i think is this thing that elton have going on about making past hits modern yet still nostalgic and appealing to his fans

[Gimme More 35,787]

Legendary I fear 

This is not to start any fan war as I like Dua and Cold Heart but I’m shocked it charted higher. I doubt HMC will be as big as CH (so please don’t start a war) but I’m happy Brit has achieved this, she’s had a tough time and I know this song going Top 10 will bring her some happiness.
