a year and more than 100 MILLION views for the video (this represents relevance)

#7 worldwide (around 10 weeks inside the top 10)
#10 on US radio
#11 on Billboard Hot 100
#8 on US pop songs
#2 iTunes
#1 Japan
#6 Australia
#1 Asia
top 20 Europe

Platinum certification: Canada, US, Japan, Australia and Italy

anythng new? ok I can agree with that but it was a perfect pop song.

it has great producers Max Martin and Shellback
plus the name of the song was cool and unique.


many of your big faves and their latest singles couldn't do that and YES I'm refering to... Madonna, Britney, Gaga, Beyonce etc..

so the question should be: Should WTH have smashed MORE?
ok thank you.

Calm down.

It did not perform to record label expectations and that is why promotion was severely reduced for the rest of the album. Be honest with yourself rather than plugging in numbers in defense. She can do better and deserves to do better.

Both you and I know that you want her next lead single to be much more successful than "What the Hell".

No, it didn't deserve because that's the song RCA wanted and it's crap in almost every aspect

Don't delude yourself What The Hell flopped. In America, Radio picked it up for a week, and then dropped it so hard.

[Lifeline]

No. It feels like her most uninspired lead single. I was sick of Girlfriend at one point but at least it felt like something interesting and fresh for her unlike the more dated sounding What The Hell.
It also felt like RCA made her record it to ensure the album has at least one moderate hit.

[QueenJ]

It had the potential to be a smash tbh, I don't get how it didn't.

[PopBoi]

Yes. And if it didnt flop less people would have voted no.

But without WTH imagine how much harder the album would have flopped.

[potentbreakupsong]

No, it was a disappointment.

Obviously, but I what I'm trying to say is that the song wasn't a flop.
