[JLoveLamar]

They refuse to release All Is Well! I need to hear that full song!!!!!

[Ollie9]

I’m anticipating it’s going to be utter rubbish. If then it turns out a decent song, i will luxuriate in the heightened euphoria that will surely follow.

If the world just danced is gonna rule

[Spreadinglove21]

Certainly the most intriguing title on the new album, but let's not get too carried away with expectations. Never judge a song on its title alone.

[florence]

I just don't understand what is going on here.

Maybe they want this album and Song to chart for the coveted English Christmas song in the meantime we can enjoy each other’s company on this site Happy Sunday be safe and love one another

it’s out and incredible

It's amazing how contemporary and strong she sounds in it. AMAZING.

"Thank You" was like a mix of the old and new, it had her classic sound while still sounding very now, Bruno Mars-like.

This new song is totally new.

[after you]

It’s what we needed very upbeat

[rovereab]

Brilliant, I hope the song achieves masses of radio play. It would be fantastic if Diana Ross visited the UK to promote the song on a TV program. She remains popular and respected here, so a visit would be a wonderful gesture given the Covid impact on her cancelled tour last year and Glastonbury Legend appearance.

[florence]

Unfortunate timing to be released alongside Abba's new tracks - hasn't hit UK iTunes top 1500 yet.

Hope the album dates don't co-incide in November.

Actually, both albums are released on the same day. Considering that the official Abba store crashed yesterday due to demand, with several formats selling out, the album is going to be absolutely massive. Also, they have altogether about 30 different formats announced so far [[worldwide). I´m afraid the first week of November will be all about Abba. As a fan I am extremely happy about their first new album in 40 [[!) years but I wish they were not releasing it in the same week as Diana.

That said, it feels like it´s the late 70s/early 80s again - Diana and Abba releasing new albums in 2021!

[Levi Stubbs Tears]

Considering that the official Abba store crashed yesterday due to demand, with several formats selling out, the album is going to be absolutely massive.

Abba have a huge advantage in the ability to write, arrange & produce their own songs. And there will be music videos [even it fhey just feature 'abbatars'] to further promote the singles. Plus the virtual world tour.

What a way to make a comeback after 40 years and [probably] also sign-off on your musical career,

They deserve all the undoubted success coming to them.

[after you]

Diana Ross [[https://www.udiscovermusic.com/artist/diana-ross/) releases her new single “If The World Just Danced” today [[3). The suitably club-flavored dancefloor track is the follow-up to the equally ebullient [[https://www.udiscovermusic.com/news/listen-to-diana-ross-thank-you-single/) “Thank You,” which came out in June and enjoyed a hugely positive reaction and airplay.
Both tracks are from the superstar’s forthcoming album Thank You, to be released on November 5 by Decca Records. As Ms. Ross says herself: “There’s no wrong way to dance, just do it.” She goes on: “Let everyone know to have FUN. Joy, Joy, Joy is the answer. Playfulness! Happiness! When you dance there Is only love in life. When you dance the world dances.”

[after you]

Interesting if the world just danced sounds similar to Abbas new song

I tend to agree. The hoopla surrounding the ABBA reunion concert and subsequent album will cast a shadow over anything else that might be released around the same time. The media is already in a frenzy, with news and film footage of the upcoming events being screened almost daily.
ABBA mania rules the day. The DR album should be rescheduled or risk being totally over shadowed.

Having heard ABBA's new tracks, which were good, I much prefer this track. Fresh, upbeat, and Diana sounds great. Well produced. But ABBA does seem to be getting all the attention.

[RanRan79]

I love this song so much, so fast. If handled correctly, Diana could have a legitimate hit on her hands. There's nothing old fashion about it, the track is excellent. It could be major, but as I said, it would have to be handled correctly. A music video would probably go a long way into driving sales. Fingers crossed.

Very worrying Ollie.

No matter the quality Diana's album will simply get swamped by Abba.

That's all we're getting on the radio at the minute.

At least it's managed to get to #100 on UK itunes - I don't really see Radio 2 supporting this single though.

Bluebrock, wherever you are have a few words in a few ears!!!!!

Not to worry this song sounds similar to Abbas’s if not better I believe it will do fine on the charts maybe UK number one it’s on par with upside down

[Ollie9]

It’s fresh and contemporary sounding with fun lyrics. Diana continues to impress with songs from the now incredibly anticipated new album. This has real potential, but agree with Ran in that a music video would do much to bolster it’s appeal.
I find it far more engaging then the new ABBA single which i find a ‘tad dreary.

[midnightman]

Listened to it this morning. Classic Diana!

[after you]

Many comments from all over the internet are saying Diana’s new single is better than
Abbas new songs I agree

[TNSUN]

Great song.Another #1 Song on the Dance Charts!
This song beats a great international club vibe. Can't wait for the dance club remixes.
Diana Ross' vocals are so lovely in this song. Congratulations to everyone involved in this joyous song!

[Roberta75]

I loved ABBA and have seen the play Mama Mia and the first movie Mama Mia. The follow up movie was not that good imo and there shouldnt be a third. Im gonna buy the album but wont see them in concert if they tour.

[florence]

#92 on UK iTunes but significantly isn't in the US top 1500

Not really very radio 2ish florence, but hopefully a lot of the other stations will pick it up. I wonder if there are any plans for some kind of music vid, even if Diana is not featured?.
I really wish the album could be delayed by at least a week as I would prefer attention focussed on her. As it stands, she will be playing second fiddle to the great ABBA bandwagon.

[sansradio]

Those of you who’ve preordered the LP from iTunes: Have you noticed that, if you click on this single from your iPhone’s “Recently Added” tab, the cover art is animated? The cover art zooms out and back in, the calligraphic background squiggle art fills in, and the words “Diana Ross” and “Thank You” fill in with sparkle. I’ve never seen this before. My jaw dropped!

[sup_fan]

i hate to say this but this song is about an unexciting as Thank You. IMO both tunes start out wonderfully and then never go anywhere. there's no build, there's no crescendo. they just sort of float along as-is.

she sounds great. but the songs just don't sound special

I like it well enough. It's catchy. But it does meander after a good start. i wouldn't put in the same league as her disco classics like Love Hangover, The Boss, No One Gets the Prize, or Upside Down. Maybe because much if not all the music on the track sounds computer generated. Not much real instrumentation present here. And her voice is autotuned. Not to the point of sounding like a robot, but it's there, except right at the end, where the autotune is removed and we hear Diana sounding fully human.

Embedding the song so anyone can play it directly from here.

Looking at youtube views of the If the World Could Dance on Diana's youtube channel [[two up)--27, 000 views total. The two new Abba songs on the official Abba channel: 12 million.

And the 3 official Diana Ross channel you tube videos for Thank You have a combined view of about 2.2 million after 2 months.

[daviddh]

i really like it, hope it does well for her and us

[copley]

It's not a bad song even though she sounds like she's been auto-tuned to the hilt! As a single it's doomed chart wise where it matters. However it's a good promo for the album which will sell to her die-hard fans and casual buyers looking for a Christmas gift for their grandparents. Fans like me ceased to buy her music years ago. Last single I bought was the 12" mix of 'Paradise' - still love it. At last count I have over 50 Ross/Supremes CD's including all the deluxe editions and even some unreleased stuff! I wish her well.

Yea!! another “Paradise” fan. The remixes are brilliant. Out of curiosity, why did you stop buying her music after “WO” copley?. Was Workin’ Overtime the last DR album you really enjoyed?.

[copley]

Hi Ollie, TBH the last Diana album I bought was 'Diana - The Chic Album' as I call it. After she left Motown there was no quality control album wise and she really had lost her way especially in the US. The hits continued in the UK until 1999's 'Not Over You Yet' which peaked at #9. I liked some of her singles like 'Mirror Mirror', 'Muscles', 'Pieces of Ice', 'Swept Away', 'Up Front', 'Missing You' and of course 'Chain Reaction'. A couple of her Motown albums are also pretty poor but I bought the deluxe editions of both 'Touch Me in the Morning' and 'Last Time I Saw Him'. Oh I bought her lost album 'Blue' which was OK.

[after you]

Oh my goodness if we just danced is on Amazon’s top 100 sitting at number 12 unbelievable

[ejluther]

Good for her and I’m glad so many seem to like it but I wish it had more “Diana” in it - it’s pretty faceless in that it doesn’t have much of the distinctive personality I expect from her music. Maybe it will grow on me…

[Spreadinglove21]

Up to #20 Amazon New Single Releases. Definitely this song has an international swing to it. A great video would boost its sales. Diana Ross has a hit with this uplifting song!

Agree. If I heard this song without knowing it was Ross it could be anyone. I dont know if its the production or if this is just how Ross sounds now.

[Jimi LaLumia]

It is available in the Amazon USA store cos I bought one last nite; it's doing very well... and what's with the ABBA nonsense on a Motown page and Supremes specific thread..who cares about ABBA?

[djessie]

Diana´s album is released in the same day as the Abba album. Obviously, that relates to possible chart positions and overall attention of Diana´s album.

Pharrell did it so much better with “Happy.” Diana’s song falls flat in the middle chorus. I tried to like it, but just can’t. It is not joyful and borders on being preachy. I am disappointed.

[after you]

Pharrell is fifty years younger she’s 77 this song is fantastic I love it much better than Abbas two new songs it’s got all the grove things going on and remember she recorded this album during Covid so she was limited on what she could do ::: stop the wining and enjoy

[florence]

Whether it's because of the new releases from Drake and Abba but sadly the reaction in the UK to If The World Just Danced is decidedly muted.

[copley]

Just checked the UK mid week singles chart - no Diana but TBH I'm not surprised. Both the new Abba tracks are in the top 10 and Drake has 3! Drake appeals to the kids & Abba seem to appeal to all ages. There you have it.

I don't think it's strong enough to be UK Radio friendly - more Radio One than 2 and I just don't think that One would play any Diana record now.

Most stations aren't wowed by it.

What will be important is I Still Believe.

If it's any way decent I think Radio 2 will support it which will be a big boost for the album.

I'm glad afteryou doesn't have the same power as Billy Mumy's character Little Anthony did in the Twilight Zone episode "It's a great Life" or most of us would have been sent to the cornfield for not being positive enough about If the World Just Danced and Diana Ross.

For those of us not in the UK, what is the difference between Radio 2 and Radio 1? Is Radio 2 more adult contemporary while Radio 1 is for the younger audience? Are there other BBC or radio formats in the UK that would be friendly to new music from Diana Ross?

[copley]

BBC Radio 1 is a national station playing current chart music and I use the word 'music' rather loosely. I do not think of the likes of Cardi B as having anything to do with music but then I'm an old person! Its sister station, Radio 2 is more current pop, MOR, oldies and the like. I believe that that 'Thank You' got a lot of plays but I have yet to hear 'Danced'. It could be that it falls between two stools! The UK has lots of local BBC & commercial radio stations but I never listen to them so I can't comment on their playlists. A video would have helped promotion but it's really the kids who drive the sales in the singles chart. Diana is simply not relevant or even on their radar! I only buy downloads if there is no other option and I don't like 'Danced' enough to buy it. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the info! I'm in the US here. I won't buy "If the World Just Danced" until the album comes out as I want to own the album. I downloaded the Thank You single, which is my favorite so far of the songs I've heard so far.

[Ollie9]

While it’s certainly contemporary sounding, perhaps it’s just not special enough to cause much of a stir as a single. It really needs tv promotion.

[copley]

Ollie, I think that you hit the nail on the head. It's just not special enough to get noticed. However as I said it's the kids who buy singles/downloads/streaming and no way will they buy Diana Ross because they have never heard of her. Other artists like Rod Stewart, Robbie Williams, Take That, Barry Manilow, Cher, Paul McCartney, Madonna have not had a big hit single in ages but they still sell albums.

[RanRan79]

I still feel like the song could be a hit if the promotion is handled correctly. I really love this song. But whether it hits or not, the important thing is that I like it, the album seems promising and it'll be nice to have some new Ross to listen to.

[Ollie9]

It’s not enough to just release a song, cross your fingers and hope for the best.
With promotion “Just Danced”could take off, but it’s simply just not happening at the mo.
From what we have heard i think the album will be a quality release. At that point Diana really is going to have to make some effort at promotion.

Absolutely delighted but actually pretty shocked because I didn't really think it was their sort of music but If The World Just Danced has been added to the Radio 2 "A" play list with effect from today [[11 September)!

Radio 2 is the most listened radio station in the UK.

I personally really like Dance now more so than Thank You - it almost certainly got squeezed out by all the Abba mania last week.

Because of how the charts work nowadays it won't chart [[and the record comany know this) because artists like Diana simply don't get streamed big time but what it does serve to do is bring attention to the new album.

What we really need now is for the third single to be a huge melodic ballad.

There's no point in burying our head in the sand, Diana in the main is not a massive album seller in the UK [[hit collections excepted).

She certainly has had some big albums here [[ones which have contained a big hit single) but just as many if not more which have charted lowly for just a couple of weeks and sold mediocrely.

If Diana does not do some promotion then as you say the album could just slip by quietly without causing much of a ripple.

They've already changed the release date once - would it be so difficult to put it back another week or two [[even forward)?

Surely someone at Decca must realise that to release it on the same day as the new Abba album is literally suicide - it will get swamped.

Of course maybe Decca and Diana have something big planned in the way of promotion which we don't know about yet but I somehow very much doubt it.

Just a pity Bluebrock is not about to tell us what the heck is going on - they've already bungled the release of If The World Just Danced.

[Circa 1824]

Diana’s biggest successes have been singing about falling in and out of love.
An album of uplifting messages seems ill-advised.
She somehow believes she has the power to change the world.
She is going to be very disappointed.

[daviddh]

i like the new song Dance and think its very up lifting. a few appearances will do the trick and i am surprised she hasnt thus far, but with 9-11 ,our attention is on the 20th anniversary .
but none the less, a few appearances on Ellen,GMA,Toda, . she could have done a concert on the Today show. i think would help sales. a video.
i suppose the push back to nov is to get christmas sales. kinda get it, but what about now?
Bluebrock sends regards.

[Ollie9]

Absolutely delighted but actually pretty shocked because I didn't really think it was their sort of music but If The World Just Danced has been added to the Radio 2 "A" play list with effect from today [[11 September)!

Radio 2 is the most listened radio station in the UK.

I personally really like Dance now more so than Thank You - it almost certainly got squeezed out by all the Abba mania last week.

Because of how the charts work nowadays it won't chart [[and the record comany know this) because artists like Diana simply don't get streamed big time but what it does serve to do is bring attention to the new album.

What we really need now is for the third single to be a huge melodic ballad.

There's no point in burying our head in the sand, Diana in the main is not a massive album seller in the UK [[hit collections excepted).

She certainly has had some big albums here [[ones which have contained a big hit single) but just as many if not more which have charted lowly for just a couple of weeks and sold mediocrely.

If Diana does not do some promotion then as you say the album could just slip by quietly without causing much of a ripple.

They've already changed the release date once - would it be so difficult to put it back another week or two [[even forward)?

Surely someone at Decca must realise that to release it on the same day as the new Abba album is literally suicide - it will get swamped.

Of course maybe Decca and Diana have something big planned in the way of promotion which we don't know about yet but I somehow very much doubt it.

Just a pity Bluebrock is not about to tell us what the heck is going on - they've already bungled the release of If The World Just Danced.

Encouraging news regarding Radio 2. Who would have thought?.
At the mo it’s as if the song had never been released, a huge shame as it’s a decent dance number. I’m pinning all my hopes on Diana promoting the album. Agree that the third single needs to be a killer ballad.
The release date is of course nuts. It needs to be brought forward a week, no if’s or buts.

She is going to be very disappointed.
Both Ross and Wilson became partial to message music, the last single from Ross is this and Wilson had Why Can't We All Get Along. Back in '70 both tried message songs that are enduring but didn't light up the charts in 1970, Reach Out and Touch only hit #20 and Everybody's Got The Right To Love hit #21. Still, in your 70's, songs about love might not be in the wheel except maybe remembrances of past loves.

[Roberta75]

Bluebrock was and is our most valuable source to all things Diana Ross and a man of great integrity and kindness but a few members on here insulted him and questioned his information so now hes taking a break from the forum and why wouldnt he?

Frankly i hope he comes back but if he doesnt come back I wouldnt blame him. Hes had a real tough year and now hes concentrating on his family which is his and should be his MAIN priority.

I privately communicate with him and will be doing so again real soon but if and when he comes back and shares inside information, the few who insulted him and qestioned him should remember, in your case silence is golden.

Please say a prayer for all of those who we lost on 9/11 20 years ago today.

Fondly,

Roberta

[daviddh]

I agree. I miss having Bluebrook insight.
He was full of info and back story

[PeaceNHarmony]

I agree. I miss having Bluebrook insight.
He was full of info and back storyIndeed, and full of life, good-deeds and familial love as well, and does not have the time [[as some posters here, past and present do) to feel the necessity to comment on each and every thread's each and every post, particularly in a negative and ill-informed fashion. Such is life on the internet.

A good point. I personally really enjoy those positive message songs, but Diana is rather renowned for her songs of love. I’m hoping the third single will fit the bill, but not before “If The World Just Danced” has been given a chance to shine.

I wouldn't hold your breath for that. When the Thank you single came out, it was announced that every song on the new album was going to be about uplift and positivity in the world. But hopefully that theme will incorporate songs about the happiness of being in love or finding love, or the joy of a long lasting stable and loving relationship, and not just preachy message songs. Circa and others are correct in worrying that the album will be Diana Ross' twitter feed set to music.

[daviddh]

Being a fan since I was 16, just hoping that this album does well for her.
I really didn't want ILY to be her last album even though there were a few good songs but rather low budget..
Hopefully the album will be as good as the first two singles.

[Atasteofhoney]

I listen to this song almost daily, and I must say it grows upon me.

[captainjames]

I would have to agree that I am definitely liking the song more each day. Also, I am not one to watch the charts to see where it has landed. I am really excited that Diana has released new material after all these years.

[mindful1]

this song was composed to magically stick in the brain, I listen to it while working out in the mornings and it stays there all day! I can imagine aerobics instructors using it during classes.

This song sounds better each time I listen it. Reminds me of the finale of a great Bollywood Movie. Ms. Ross is in top form! I am hoping for a global fun dance video! The production is awesome and Ms.Ross' classic smooth vocals are in the groove. It has a similarly with Cher's "Believe"- it is instantly Bravo memorable!

The MOTi remix adds a little more light and shade making it the more interesting. I prefer it to the original version.

[after you]

Both amazing remixes this is the song of the year absolutely incredible, here’s a review from the Diana Ross Project , And the releases just keep on coming!Two new official remixes of the current single from Ms. Ross, “If The World Just Danced,” are available now for streaming and download.
Eric Kupper handles one, no surprise considering his stellar track record with Ms. Ross; it’s another shimmering production that keeps our diva’s vocal front and center while providing the song with a strong, clean beat and a cool smoothness perfect for both dance clubs and late-night lounges.
The other is a fun reimagining from DJ and producer MOTi, who also keeps a strong emphasis on the vocals. That said, the punchy track is a nice departure from the original recording, and buoys Ms. Ross as she delivers the song’s universal message. This one sounds like a global hit.
Listen to them below [[and listen over and over again…let’s get those YouTube views UP!) and leave your thoughts in a comment!

love this song,hope it does well

[Ollie9]

It actually means very little. The airplay chart is a guide as to what songs radio stations are likely to be playing each day. It’s great if a station is behind your song, but does not equate to it being a success.

[PeaceNHarmony]

Exactly this means everythingI tend to agree. Radio stations are not really known for repeatedly playing songs that the audience does not want to hear! We could, in fact, say that in this era of dive-bombing physical and downloading sales of music that it is the airplay charts that mean everything, and perhaps it's the other charts that 'count for nothing'!;)

Back in the day when records were records, I mean 7" vinyl singles, there were a great many that got a huge amount of plays on BBC Radio 1. However no amount of airplay could turn the record into a chart hit it if the listeners did not buy it. There was no such thing as an airplay chart back then. Such records were known as 'turntable hits'. Out of thousands I recall three that I loved that fell into that category. 'I Got A Feeling' - Barbara Randolph, 'Wild Night' - Martha Reeves & 'If It Feels Good Do It' - Della Reese. They were played to death and I loved them but I was in the minority as they all flopped. So what I am saying for those who can't or won't understand an airplay chart is purely that and counts for nothing so Ross being #1 is meaningless. It may however help to promote the album to Radio 2 listeners. I'd like to see it chart in the same way that I like to see all heritage artists have another hit under their belt. They have paid their dues and have nothing left to prove. But, and there is a but, Ross has to get off her butt and promote 'Thank You', things don't just happen you have to make them happen. That goes for all artists - remember that Temptations song!

A concise and unequivocal post copley. Which Temptations song are you referring to?.

[jack020]

The Way You Do The Things You Do?

[copley]

Ollie, the one that I always quote when I think that an artist has put little or no effort into promotion because they are 'too big' to bother is "Superstar [[Remember How You Got Where You Are)". There are so many albums being released in the run up to Christmas I fear that it will simply be lost in the crush. It should have been released in August or wait until January which is always a quiet month release wise.

A third single right now would be overkill and could wreck album sales as the first two have not sold enough to chart. Anyway that's not what's needed Ross must get off her butt and promote, promote, promote. She's never going to have another single hit as it's the kids who buy the 'music' that fills the singles sales Top 100. It would be a case of 'Diana who?' Thinking back 50 years [[gosh did I really mean to admit that) I was just the same when '40's & '50's artists appeared on TV or radio. It was '60's or nothing. Albums are different as the older generation are still interested in the artists from their youth. As I said before 'Thank You' should have been released months ago as I fear that it will be lost in the run up to Christmas. There are so many new albums vying for our £££££$$$$$ and at least a top 10 position. If the release was deferred to Jan it would stand a much better chance of coming through what I call the post Christmas release gap.

I hear you, copley and you're 100% correct.

As you say there ain't gonna be a hit single but the record company knew this from the statr and according to Bluebrock they wanted Diana to do an album.

With If The World Just Danced getting good airplay another single now would be overkill especially one in disco vein such as I Still Believe.

Unless there is a huge amount of promotion planned in the next couple of weeks which we haven't heard about this album is heading for oblivion in the UK - it's going to be swamped by Abba and also the Christmas rush..

The original release date should never have been changed.

However good as what we've had so far is the UK definitely needs a radio-friendly ballad - hard to tell from such short clips but if Time To Call has a strong chorus it might be the one.

[Spreadinglove21]

I get why the release date was changed to November. Given the title, and the age of her fanbase, it's meant to compete in the Christmas shopping season. I'm sure Decca was thinking younger people may buy the CD as a gift for their grandparent or older Uncle or Aunt.

[Spreadinglove21]

Diana Ross has a very active Twitter account that she posts very often. She posted and thanked the UK for it being #1 on the radio chart.

It's not that active. She's posted a few times this week, but that's after a pause of a couple of weeks, and two of the posts this week are her usual Secrets of a Sparrow style inspirational rhetoric though at least she hash tagged Thank You to build awareness of the album. But she's no Dionne Warwick when it comes to using Twitter though Diana Ross does stay on her current brand with her Tweets just like Dionne does.
