I think the fact that she has remained selling in Canada shows the song is a hit waiting to happen. Ofcourse Canadians would know its out because she is from there, so as it has stayed stable on itunes, this song has potential.

In the US, she needs to keep doing radio promo and once she starts performing, it will come back. She needs to stick with this single, don't give up on Big Hoops!

If I was here I woulnd't even doubt gettin' a cheque out , sign it to someone and get myself on TV NOW! This is sinking and dying faster than expected..... It's out of the top 100 in CANADA *her homeland * , and only charting in like 2 random countries... this is a disaster if they don't HURRY UP! The album is out in 1.5 months!
It feels like Folklore 2.0 !!!

I'm gonna try to find out if she has any promo coming up. She needs to be on something big on tv and get this song out there!

Now release that video bitch.

It's not too late for her to strike a radio deal for the one day... just to introduce the song... I see nothing wrong with it!

It would still be exclusive since airplay is at "0"

I need Hoops to be a big hit!

I just heard Big Hoops on the radio for the first time and I can't see it becoming even close to a hit... Top 40 in Germany won't be impossible but I can't imagine it to reach the top 20, because it's not a track to develop into a radio smasher or people connect to something. Maybe the song just has to grow and the music video can change things but I don't see it turning into a successful lead single like the previous English lead singles I'm Like A Bird, Powerless or Maneater...

Folklore started relative low: Perhaps because many people had low expectations in her after the decent Whoa Nelly-era. Then Forca came and it helped so much that it could reach the top 10. I think now she's too known to debut low and reach a new peak some late time, though this of course always looks impressive... Many of today's flop albums debut high today (once a high debut was a great sign of potential great overall success) and fall fast, that is why it's hard to judge nowadays. It's just that every single has to push album sales high over a constant and long time to guarantee an overall success, because new peaks for established artists are very hard to get.

WOW, the album sold 10 times its first week sales in the total: Great ratio. Though considering Say It Right was a huge hit, the constant single success could've done more than just one additional week in the top 10, but overall it did well...

Well, considering that the biggest hit in the US was the lead single (Promiscuous there), and it only had another huge hit (Say It Right), a moderate hit (Maneater that was Top 20, #16 perhaps?) and 2 flop singles (All Good Things #86 and Do It #88), it sold SO WELL, and 2,1M albums is a really good number.
As for No Hay Igual and Te Busqué, I think both were only singles for Latin Radios, but TB was the only hit from both, I guess. :-?

Big Hoops about to make a surge on the charts in the next couple of weeks.... I'm thinking ;-)

I LOVE the album cover.

I like how its different and simple. Not trying too hard to be a diva or anything. I love the covers or her 5 albums. Each of them seem to fit the vibe of the album.

I secretly want this album to sound like Folklore so bad![/img]
