AbeHicks Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Exactly the same reason as Perfect Illusion. Sounds too agressive, a rock sound will never ever be successful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't read all the replies so perhaps this has been covered, but how did it do in the rock and alternative charts?

Daylight Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 America hates women so a song with such a strong feminist message was not going to smash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreatestLoveofAll Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 She tried that rock **** and the GP was rightly not here for it. Should have sticked to trap sounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoubleRainbow! Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Only few artists can smash with multiple songs in 2019. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Divine Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 It's not as hooky or radio-friendly as Without Me, obviously. I don't think Halsey or her team should be concerned as this was obviously more of a statement single than something meant to be a smash hit.

MusicLoverDude Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Nightmare is not something most GP (mainly men) will be easy to get into. But it's a good song and it's still Top 50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OT: Not radio friendly, a bop though How is Without Me generic? It's a normal song that didn't chase any popular patterns and she just released it cuz she felt like it Unlike most of the stars, Halsey writes her own music and creates concept albums that tell a story. She wanted to tell a short story so she let it out and it became a hit. It's not like she hopped on R&B/EDM trends to get a quick lil hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HausofAri Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 I just don’t think Halsey is the type of artist who can get easily snatch hits left and right based off of her name/fan base, but there’s nothing wrong with that. Without Me caught on; this one didn’t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

volition Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 i hear it on the radio all the time, it's legitimately one of the worst things i've heard in my life (nearly as bad as new americana) the chorus is so atrociously produced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
