Temporal Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 Damn @ LWYMD Hope she has a radio-friendly smash waiting in the wings. I still don't get the Ready For It debacle
Rated Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 (edited) LWYMD was very overexposed. Some of the casual listeners said that song seems to be "annoying" after huge explosion of LWYMD on the radio. Song and video were played everywhere. It was very predictable. By the way, song isn't soulful or joyful enough to be clungy with people's feeling. Same about HIAM, which had strong airplay lead and huge drops after #3 peak on Pop. I still think that empowerment or pure party songs has bigger chances to stabilize on airplay after massive spinouts. Edited October 4, 2017 by Rated
Mr. Adele Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 I have a feeling Taylor’s next single is gonna lowkey flop on radio too thanks to the overexposure of Look and Ready... She should wait for November, a week before the album, to drop the third single. Let both songs die and have a little breathing space.
Rawr Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 what is the longest stay in top 10 radio? SOY must either be number one or very close to it

It’s been top ten since February and it’s now October (so 8 months now ). That would require some research, but SoYdefintely has to be in the top 3 or #1 by now. I don’t know of any other song that could have resided that long in the top ten. Iris by Goo Goo Dolls spent 18 weeks at #1 alone; No Doubt’s Dont Speak spent 16 weeks at #1. Not sure how long they stayed in the top ten but it’s probdbly close to 25 weeks or more.

abrahamjmr Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 Taylor shouldn't release a second single at all till the album is out. She is way too overexposed and I am still shocked LWWYMD didn't go #1. Despite it not being soulful, it is a goddamn Taylor's song, I expected it to be atop within weeks. Either way, she did great and we shouldn't take this as an underperformance, the general public moves on from pop songs when it comes to pop girls nowadays.

It was hit almost solely driven on star power.

The song was pretty atrocious and self-absorbed... RFI didn't do very well either after its strong first week. Things don't look so bright for Ms. Swift right now. Maybe she has a more generic and radio-appealing song next. We'll have to wait and see.

Too bad Britney was in an awful head space in 2011,and pretty much ruined HIAMs chances of becoming a hit. Ot. Demis # ? And 5H # ?

Mediabase Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 Look What You Made Me Do got horrible reaction on radio all around the world. Look at every single major country. It stalled and collapsed on radio. Australia, UK, Canada... Everywhere. And I am not gonna even talk about countries in continental Europe like France, Germany, Italy, Spain etc.. I am sorry but it was just a bad song with a horrible message. What was she thinking? The 1989 hype allowed it to hit top5 on pop radio in the US at least.

Fruity Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 5 hours ago, simmnfierzig said: Wtf. Not the "overexposed" bs already again Yes sorry but what the hell are they talking about? How can she be overexposed? She only has a combined 140m AI with both the new singles. That's really not a lot at all. And it's only been for like 5 weeks. Even if you add in recurrent airplay from Wildest Dreams, IDWLF, Style and Bad Bloood, she's still only at 180M. That's still less than the airplay from 1 radio smash.
Tylerbv Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 I'm not surprised as LWYMMD stalling. It really is like Meghan's No. Not exactly a radio friendly song, but hype driven to the top 15 easily.
