You have 2 things going against you there. 1st as DoctorWu already pointed out and the 2nd is that its the start of the CNY break where most people are going away.
But at least you got your seat. ^

One of my friends is an SQ crew member and she once had only 50 passengers in the entire economy cabin on SQ318.

I wonder SQ doesn't set First class and Raffles class awards on SQ 322 and SQ221(SIN→SYD) for FFP(except Kris Flyer).
I reserve SQ320 anytime I fly SIN~LHR. Because I think SQ320 is not so crowd as other SIN~LHR's routes and SQ320's meal is Lunch and Dinner, their meals are volume very much

Yup its the only flight on SQ that avoids overnight stop in SIN from AKL and CHC too. Every time I have been on the evening SIN-LHR or SIN-FRA flights they are packed.

Also very difficult to secure rewards on SQ322. When I claimed my J reward few weeks back, I was only allowed to claim it on the second flight to LHR and not the night one (Couldn't make it on the morning flight either b/c I'm originating from HKG with no available connection for that). As another replier have said, this flight carriers large numbers of pax who have just connected from Aussie/New Zealand origins. Since no nonstop service is available between the UK/Europe & Australia/New Zealand, SQ, CX, and TG have become so popular for those who travel between these two continents.
I for one prefer the daytime flight to LHR over the nighttime as it is so much easier to cope with the jet lag. So I was happy that my choice was given to the daytime instead of the night flight.

Yup, this SQ322 in F is always full. But as QPPS, it seems that I always got my A or D class cleared within 72 hours after booking eventhough the availability showed F0 A0 J0 C0 D0.

This is where this 'pointless/overated' PPS status really earns it's corn ^ .
