Obviously you lack reading comprehension skills because I explicitly said that CMM hit #1 because it does not sound like every other song on the radio and has a completely different message.

Okay sorry you did say that. However, Somebody That I Used To Know, Lights, Wide Awake, Titanium, Payphone, etc all disagree.

Carly hit #1 because of a major viral campagne, Bieber and Disney and Nickelodeon stars did a fanmade video which made it get supported by a huge teen and kid following, after that all kinds of people made videos for it, CMM became a hype, if that thing didn't happen, I doubt much people would have known about the song.

PTA may be not the most original song, but it's also not like Nicki does major promo, every song can hit #1 with the right campagne and support, whether it is PTA or CMM,

Who the hell cares about a song hitting number one though?? Look at Starships and Super Bass. Nicki is worried about longevity as a single not a number one hit.

And CMM is generic. PTA is trendy. People should know the meanings of words before they use them.

I agree

I agree

Your post has so many flaws that it's redicuous. First of all, an artist can give a song an enormous amount of promotion but that doesn't mean that it will go #1. Madonna performed GMAYL on the SUPER BOWL (aka the most watched show on American TV) but it only hit #10. Rihanna performed WHYB on the AMERICAN IDOL FINALE but it only hit #5. Taylor Swift tweeted to her 16 MILLION+ FOLLOWERS to buy Ed Sheeran's album but it only peaked at #5..

Second of all, even if a song/album does get major promotion, it is up to the general public whether it hits #1 or not. It doesn't matter if the President performed the song; if America does not like it, it will not go #1.

End discussion.

And you know EVERYTHING I said is right.

Of course it's low.. it's not even released to radio yet, nor does it have a video or any promotion.

It's ok. But the only song out of those that hit #1 is STIUTK. And just like CMM, it hit #1 because it does not sound like every other song on the radio (it sounds nothing like Good Time, Wild Ones, etc.) and has lyrics that differ from the generic lyrics found in most songs. /Discussion.

DEATH at you paying attention to that small detail (which I changed) instead of the larger point. I guess not all of us have exceptional reading comprehension skills.

I read the entire thing and that point was the only thing that stood out to me.

And please don't ever PM me again redirecting me to your post just so I can respond.

To stay on topic: I hope PTA truly does go #1!

It seems as though you really do have trouble with reading comprehension, because a 3rd grader could have told me that the main idea of the comment was that promotion doesn't necessarily mean a song will go #1. You know who can help you with your lack of basic reading skills? Kumon! They promise to raise your reading skills by at least one grade level!

Anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing PTA rise up the charts!
