Great808 Posted August 15, 2022 Posted August 15, 2022 Gaga really turned radio off during the BTW era mess. It’s impressive how she’s still managed to have several big hits since then tho, not relying on radio payola.

It’s impressive how she’s still managed to have several big hits since then tho, not relying on radio payola. Radio was kind of extra ageist with Gaga, and the political messages in BTW/Judas might’ve turned people off, but she still got hits to spite the doubters.
blueberries Posted August 15, 2022 Posted August 15, 2022 USA was so racist to Avril for being canadian yet she scored a #1 hit without radio help
Beyonce_runthis Posted August 15, 2022 Posted August 15, 2022 I am surprised because pop radio wasn’t playing Beyoncé during the 2010s.
Luckitty Posted August 16, 2022 Posted August 16, 2022 deja vu's longevity, reaching the top 5 four months after it came out also it peaked at #2, blocked by her own song good 4 u
satellites.™ Posted August 16, 2022 Posted August 16, 2022 Watching Beys live transition into legend stats is so cool to see.
MardinBeksloy Posted August 16, 2022 Posted August 16, 2022 my fav last radio hit was 4 years ago Her fault for picking horrible single and refusing to promote her crafts
GentleEarthquake Posted August 16, 2022 Posted August 16, 2022 (edited) i just know one certain member is happy that Xtina is above Britney Edited August 16, 2022 by GentleEarthquake
Protocol Posted August 16, 2022 Posted August 16, 2022 I thought "4 Minutes" would've been her last but it was only Top 5 on pop radio, not overall radio. The lack of urban support hurt it, if JT had released it instead solo it would've been a hit on that format most likely like his FS/LS singles
Lovett Posted August 16, 2022 Posted August 16, 2022 "BREAK MY SOUL" has peaked at #3, not #4 FYI @Feanor.

Yeah pop radio paid her dust because of RTW but urban still had her back. Glad her first pop song was embraced by them because with urban only, she wouldn't have been able to place high. 8 hours ago, Feanor said: Tina Turner - 53 years, 8 months, 5 days What a legend.
pride4jc1222 Posted August 16, 2022 Posted August 16, 2022 Year for Cheap Thrills is wrong. Should be July 16, 2016, and Sia's age would have been 40 years, 6 months, and 29 days.
GreatestLoveofAll Posted August 18, 2022 Posted August 18, 2022 Tina went top five with I Dont Wanna Slay? Legendddddddd Come through Adele. Now if she only cared she could have extended her record by at least a few months. We gonna have to wait another five years.
Feanor Posted December 18, 2022 Author Posted December 18, 2022 Updated the OP, with "Cuff It" and "Anti-Hero" being the two most recent pop radio top 5s

ithinkheknowsoutsold Posted December 18, 2022 Posted December 18, 2022 Sia was so close this year with Unstoppable.
