I strongly disagree. ME! and YNTCD are both legit bad songs to me and Lover is good but not close to Wildest Dreams, Style, Blank Space etc at all. 

I have to agree. YNTCD has a good chorus but those screams make it unlistenable. Lover has that weird vocal production. Paper rings would have been great.

this is very true... but lover in general is ten times better than rep and deserves better

Is it possible that Scooby is paying radio not to play her songs??

I believe. That man will do anything 

[skankle]

This is really odd, it's a legitimately cute song and GP friendly. NRO teas  

[Marco23]

How is possibile that terrible songs get good call out and Lover (objectively a good song) not. I understand that Meth! was not well received (and lowkey YNTCD too) but Lover is better than 70% of the song in the chart

[butterflysupreme]

People saying the 1989 singles were good  those songs would definitely be getting bad callouts too in the current climate, this type of pop is outdated. Lover is arguably better than any 1989 single except Wildest Dreams. 

[MissedTheTrain]

Is this regarding the remix?  Bc the remix is bad wbk

 

The original version>>>>>

If you were any other fanbase you'd be called delusional although I'm sure there's dirtiness around the industry.

 

I've seen people get pulled from shows, audio problems that were teased by industry ppl in advance, outright refusals to stop pitting names against other names

 

Taylor launched a very public war with Scooter and although I dont trust that iHeart's radio research is 100 percent it's not like Taylor hasn't had some trouble connecting this year. Everyone said they hated her first two singles but now it's Scooter making Lover flop?

 

Then why is Ari also struggling with her last two radio songs?

Only Ariana’s last two singles had terrible callouts and they were still better than like all of Taylor’s singles from her past two albums sans Delicate.  Ariana’s been releasing singles for a year and a half straight. Of course the GP is gonna get a little tired.

Let's not act like Taylor hasn't also released a lot of singles in the past 2 years

 

IDWLF (it was released on Pop radio during January 2017)
LWYMMD
RFI
End Game

New Years Day (also sent to Radio)
Delicate
Babe
ME!
YNTCD
Lover
Beautiful Ghosts (soon)

 

And yet Delicate had better callouts and longevity to this day so it became a radio staple unlike some other girls whose lasted lead-single are forgotten and left behind on this metric.

I wasn't exactly being serious. 

But it's kinda odd that this song has worse than horrible callouts, even more so considering it sounds tailored for the radio.

And almost all of those got awful callouts while most of Ariana’s didn’t.  Like weren’t the Rep singles breaking records left and right for how fast radio was dropping them?  The only one after IDWLF that didn’t get horrible callouts was Delicate and even that was solely radio fueled, local, and a complete non-event on streaming.
 

Taylor had a two year break between her last two albums (and even over a year between Delicate and ME!). Ariana has literally pushed a single every two months since No Tears.

When it shocked everyone and it debuted #1 on Callout Scores

Ariana never got any good callouts to begin with  Her least repudiated single is 7 Rings that's why it's her only single to peak at #1 on Overall radio. TUN tanked, Break Up tanked, Boyfriend tanked, DCMA tanked... and this is supposed to her peak where she's universally adored by GP. Taylor at least managed to have a real radio hit with Delicate which is STILL played on radio today, Ariana can barely have one.

Should we compare it to 1989 since it's Taylor peak? I bet you wouldn't think so. At least now you know you have no room to talk

You literally used TUN’s callouts months after it was released (NTLTC too) and even then they’re better than the Taylor singles at their peak.  TUN was #1 for Favorite at one point. GIAW had great callouts too. None of Ariana’s singles from her last two albums have had callouts nearly as bad as almost every Taylor single from her last two albums, which is what we’re discussing.

Yet none of them reached top 3 on Net Positive for at least one week so how is it supposed to be GREAT? Not to mention Ariana has no other format to fall back on. Urban radio barely play her music, so there's no excuse for her awful callouts on Pop radio. Radio audience is just not here for her despite the constant spamming. She can probably not reach the lows of Taylor right now (wbk she did a lot worse with Focus) but does it really matter? One has a string of Radio #1s smash when the other is just... well starting I guess.

 

Taylor is past her peak, she got lucky being successful twice on Radio (Fearless/1989). No other female artist to debut this century had an era with as good callout scores as 1989's. Maybe only Adele. So ofcourse radio will support her expecting one song might stick as it happened with Delicate. But we know it won't last forever.

Well the callouts are wrong.

Agree, I felt like these callouts scores didn't really represent the whole listener habits. I'm actually asking the credibility of the callout score (not because my fave always get bad callout scores) but it does felt like they don't take the right sampling through the right statistical method that would generalised American's perception on radio hits. Especially when the bottom two literally entered some power rotations this week.
