charts discussion Radio callouts: Beautiful Things #1, Taste debuts nicely

[Kamil24]

Why do old people like Justin Bieber so much?

[Communion]

Not even a pop song from the vaults bombing for Taylor on callouts? She's lowkey done with radio listeners.

A pop song written for 2012 bombing in 2022, I am shocked!

She's done on pop radio ever since IDWLF ALL of her singles since LWYMMD bombed hard on callouts

That's why I said "not even". It feels like she's tried every different type of vibe over the last 5 years or so and pop radio just isn't here for any of it, not even something from when she used to smash.  I wonder if the gender and age breakdowns reveal some kind of pattern.

ME! was the breaking point. 
 

 

NTK radio edit is half bleeps. How is doing so well? 

[Isaiah]

Taylor hasn’t sent a genuinely-good pop song to pop radio in like 5+ years, this is her fault

[Polgg48]

It's a great start for Hurricane GAYLE, but seems like a polarizing song, which it's not surprising. Not excellent scores.

 

NTK on the other hand is   The fact half of the song is censored, GP LOVES Doja's moans and me too.

This song should’ve never been released to radio.

Ok so someone just opened up a thread that Toxic Pony is #1 in call-outs?

It's a HUGE surprise, wow.  There's another company which makes Radio Research named Monday Morning Intel, a great thing about them is that it can help you to predict the "current" callouts, but they're not necessarily the same as National Callouts provided by Mediabase (in asociation with Critical Mass Media). In fact, some songs which have showed excellent callouts on Mediabase have just showed okayish ranks on MMI. A disadvantage is that... they don't show the scores.

Not the ones we used to use, but they are promising. You know these take ages to start showing.
