naval23 Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Dua was at the top of her game and Miley just released "Plastic Hearts" which had a decent #2 debut on the Billboard 200. What went wrong with this collab? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PopKills Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 It’s a radio-friendly, kinda boring song. It did well for what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squall Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 (edited) The worst song on PH, such a shame Dua stole it though. Edited May 6, 2022 by Squall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan_brit Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Literally Christmas Anything relesed after Nov 20 is basically blocked for a bunch of Xmas songs The song could had been bigger at different time, it was Top 10 at the Uk & the song cross already 500 million at Spotify Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrandeVersace Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Bad timing tbh. It's way better than that messy Megan collab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeAg Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 it’s okay but i think Olivia Newton-John’s Physical is extremely overused as a sample/reference in pop songs and i think other people think so too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloodflowers. Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Nothing went wrong, it was massive hit in Europe and Miley's biggest Plastic Hearts era hit, currently #1 on her Spotify page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerardo Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Miley’s hitmaker days are gone, RCA is a terrible label, plus the song is kinda meh and boring, it was obvious it wouldn’t smash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About 1 month into the chart run, Dua Lipa decided to tack on "Prisoner" to her Deluxe Edition of "Future Nostalgia" Rules only allow the song to contribute to 1 album - the one that gets streamed more and Prisoner was being streamed more from "Future Nostalgia" not "Plastic Hearts". So initially in the 1st month, Miley was getting the Prisoner streams but when Dua decided to add it to her album too, Miley lost all the future streams of "Prisoner" which actually could've contributed more to her SPS sales.

Souvenir Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 it did ok btw, without Dua Lipa's name + her playlisting power the song would tank so hard tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Protocol Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 I think it's one of those cases where the song sounds too much like it was written specifically to be a hit. Too many cooks resulting in it being too streamlined, too polished, too note-perfect, not enough raw energy to match the subject matter of the track. It needed a moment where the lyrics or the vocals get weird and more unhinged. Imagine if Miley shouted shouting "let me free" towards the end while a sample of "I Was Made for Loving You Baby" plays. It needed an iconic moment, as it is it's just a really competent pop track but it doesn't have that SPARK moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miley hasn’t had a real hit in almost 10 years and had like 2 other projects flop before this. Dua is hot right now but even she needs time and support to have her own hits so she can’t perform miracles for someone as far gone as Miley and with a mediocre song like this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I heard the album did bit better elsewhere, but I was referring to the US since the OP had mentioned Billboard, but agreed that someone in Miley’s position or anyone who has had commercial setbacks need a strong undeniable smash for a comeback. Definitely much stronger than Prisoner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have to be one of those once in a career smashes. But if anyone from her generation is going to have a Cher-like trajectory of ups and downs it makes sense for it to be Miley.

mathekr Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 It's not a good song + there was no point in Miley promoting it when all the streaming points would go to Dua's album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
