Just checking out you tube tonight and I am so disappointed that "Pressure Off" only has about 117,00 views of the official audio. Most on the radio songs from other artists have over a million views. Come on everyone, just watch the audio clip a few times a day, make sure it's the official one from DD and lets give our guys some you tube numbers to be proud of. We gotta go grass roots here people and show some fan love to boost awareness of their very hot for summer song. On the downside, it's not getting much of a response at home, my wife and two sons aren't very enthused about "Pressure Off" but I am totally digging it.

I know what you mean, it is a bit deflating but it is still early days. I doubt us watching it a few times will make a difference to be honest.
I read via Twitter someone saying that it didn't make the top 100 in UK charts due to the release being in bits and pieces. Slightly annoying how you can't make a song available around the world on the same day!
Reminds me of all you need is now album release, personally I felt that would of charted higher if the physical release was released at the same time as the digital one but hey no looking back now.
If what Mavie1 said is true and the radio release is imminent in July and the Duran Twitter feed only mentioned yesterday I think that the song is now available at UK iTunes then there is still some hope yet...
Hopefully
But don't bet on it

It's a real shame they didn't get the release right:( I thought a major label like Warner easily could make this happen!

Now has the song gone to radio..I am getting conflicting reports--I have yet to hear it here in Michigan on satellite or regular radio...so I do hope it is still going to radio on 7-4? There still is a chance--this is a great song!! I think it needs to get out there!!!
Keep in mind too that Duran is not a young act..there is age discrimination on the radio folks!

It's not going to make a big impact because people want "classic" Duran Duran, not "modern" Duran Duran. Girl Panic accomplished this, but Pressure Off is too much of a departure. If that's what the band wants to do, great. And if Warner supports it, great. But don't expect it to make any money for either...

I don't think you are quite right..7 years don't want "classic" Duran Duran, but good sounding music.

Major national radio networks in Italy are starting to air Pressure Off. I still have to hear it, I have no time to listen to radio nowadays, so I have no clue about possible comments on the track by italian major DJs, but I checked on the radio websites and I can see PO listed in their playlist since yesterday. Italian national newspapers reported all the press conference by the band last week in London, some of them had even a full page dedicated to the event (I don't remember anything similar since Big Thing times). However, Q&A was awful then so I am not sure what could be the reaction by "italian Joe public" to the news that DD are back...

I thought duran`s Twitter feed said the UK release on iTunes would be 24th July. I wouldn't expect the song to chart on streaming alone. Maybe if radio like it may dent the hundreds in August.
I don't really expect it to chart but hope it builds some good momentum for the album release.
