I have always been a huge fan of Delta, but four years ago lost interest. This has brought my love for her back again! Fantastic song and video!

I think the video has made me love the song more. It's a bit cringingly awesome in places, but she looks beautiful.

I like the video but that first dancing scene is horrendous :lol: But the rest of it is cute. I like the throwback with her playing the piano just for the nostalgia if nothing else (seemed a bit odd considering the song isn't that pianoish!)

Have been humming this a lot lately, it's very catchy. Gosh, it seemed like we would NEVER get new Delta music for a while there.

I believe she can be number one for one week only.

The song has received great feedback from fans and critics and now I haven't heard a bad comment about the video so far (besides the terrible dancers :lol: )

Let's all remember Delta sells physical singles really well. You Will Only Break My Heart and I Can't Break It To My Heart made the Top 15 in Australia based on strong physical sales as the digital sales were really low for both songs.

But One thing is true, her last number one "In This Life" was #1 in Australia back in September 2007 when the chart was physical sales only. I remember Kylie's 2 Hearts was a #1 debut in October/November selling only 6,900 singles in it's first week.

Things have changed, but I believe her fanbase can help her. I've pre-order Sitting On Top Of The World from Sanity.com.au. Hopefully it will count for the charts.

The chart was already downloads + physical sales in 2007.

Dancers are SO xringeworthy in the video :lol: . I almost feel embarassed for them.

I keep humming this in my head, either it's amazingly catchy or I just missed delta and I absorbed the first thing she threw on us :lol: :lol:

The video is great, but the dancing is definitely cringeworthy at the start :lol:

I really hope she gets a hit, its a great feel good song

It's stuck in my head. :o I now understand why it's so repetitive. The video isn't fantastic but at least she looks great and like she's having fun. I was waiting all through the video for her to let the balloons go, it was becoming frustrating, but she did in the end. :lol:

Especially the chorus. It's bugging the s*** out of me. :lol:

She is absolutely gorgeous in the video though, those pins of hers :o - but the dancers shouldn't have been in it. They are a bit on the cringeworthy side!

The video is very tacky, especially those dance scenes. And the song isn't much better either.
I was expecting some epic pop song, but that is just nice at best. Probabaly her worst single to date for me.

Hey, I actually liked A Little Too Late & YWOBMH at the time! (Granted, I'm not the biggest Delta fan, but I did buy her first album.) Maybe not so much now though, I haven't heard either song in aaaaages...for me, Out of the Blue is her worst single, I cringe/d whenever I hear/d that.

I didn't mind Out of the Blue. The second half of the song was quite joyous.

I quite like this new one too.

This is great! :lol:

This will probably be ignored in the UK. I remember after the Success of "In This life" and her 2007 stuff in OZ it was still ignored in the UK even though her previous material was released and did quite well.. :-?

YES! The first half is more dreary but the second half is fabulous.

Just because I'm bored, my rankings of Delta singles:

1. Not Me, Not I
2. Born To Try
3. Mistaken Identity
4. Believe Again
5. Innocent Eyes
6. Together We Are One
7. I Can't Break It To My Heart
8. In This Life
9. Lost Without You
10. Almost Here
11. Sitting On Top Of The World
12. You Will Only Break My Heart
13. A Little Too Late
14. Out Of The Blue
15. Predictable

SOTOTW will probably grow on me and inch up a couple of places, but there are literally no bad songs here.

Also, given that this is her 15th single (I think), can we expect a Greatest Hits soon? It would be pretty flawless.

A Little Too Late and You Will Only Break My Heart were quite good actually. Her worst remains Almost Here. Such a borefest!

If I had to rank them, it would be something like this:

1. Born To Try
2. Predictable
3. I Can't Break It To My Heart
4. Out Of The Blue
5. Innocent Eyes
6. In This Life
7. You Will Only Break My Heart
8. Not Me, Not I
9. Lost Without You
10. Believe Again
11. A Little Too Late
12. Mistaken Identity
13. Together We Are One
14. Almost Here

Innocent Eyes is still her best effort.

I really loved Almost Here at the time, but I don't think it's aged very well and compared with the rest of teh amazingness in taht album, it does look fairly subpar.

I have to disagree, for me, it's really more like this:

#1. Not Me, Not I
#2. In This Life
#3. Lost Without You
#4. Innocent Eyes
#5. Predictable
#6. I Can't Break It To My Heart
#7. A Little Too Late
#8. Together We Are One
#9. Born To Try
#10. Believe Again
#11. Almost Here
#12. Out of the Blue
#13. Mistaken Identity
#14. You Will Only Break My Heart

The spread between eras is a bit all over the place and some tracks have grown on me more over time (e.g. 'I Can't Break It To My Heart').
