Arcadius Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Capitol should've used some coins to have gotten Unholy a radio deal upon release. I'm guessing they didn't expect the song to smash like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All that payola for this ******* mess fgdfhhggddd The nerve to call Break My Soul "the most front loaded #1" when My Universe wasn't even a year ago, Jimmy Cooks spent less than half the amount of time in the top ten overall, and We Don't Talk About Bruno had a similar, yet worse trajectory. I'm not even a Beyonce stan at all, but Break My Soul has done better than every other single released by most every other pop girl this decade. The ONLY exceptions being Olivia Rodrigo (in her debut era) and Ariana Grande. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pride4jc1222 Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 The funny thing is, BMS isn’t even the most frontloaded multi-week #1. Just look at some of the #1 hits we had in 2018. This Is America spent its first two weeks at #1, and finished with like 15 weeks on the charts. 10-week #1 In My Feelings spent only 22 weeks on the charts, then faded to oblivion.

They played those songs here and there briefly and that was it. There is almost no way you can spin this to make bey’s situation look like it isn’t a complete **** show.

There's NO WORLD in which a 14-week top ten is a flop. And for a singer who is in their 40s who refuses to even promote their music with even a single music video to maintain public interest in the song at all is nothing short of impressive. Downplaying the success of a clearly successful solo hit song (something that Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Christina Aguilera, Kelly Clarkson, P!nk, Avril Lavigne, and Britney Spears have each all not seen in almost a decade) just makes you look extremely pressed and spiteful.

omrimayo Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 "Unholy" instrumental and Live are out since like 3 hours ago... Wonder if those will give Sam his 5 more points? Also the song is discounted on iTunes since yesterday and not included in those predictions, so I wonder... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gossip_Boy Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Ugh who tf do I need to sacrifice for my boy Steve to finally get his deserved #1? I hope this is the week.

In other words, an obsessed hater. It doesn't make sense to pretend that BMS's trajectory now is because radio payola is done and it has been done ever since the album was released. Coincidentally, it peaked during the album release week when it had only been out 6 weeks. What song peaks 6 weeks out on radio and is a big hit? So the goal was to get the song up in audience so that when the album was released the stans would mass stream (went from 30s on spotify to top 5) and buy which they did and it hit #1 once radio dropped it it started to tumble. Now I don't think it's the most frontloaded but it was clearly radio driven and is falling hard now that the time elapsed to raise the audience impressions for album release week. That said, I hope Bad habit snags that #1 Harry is good with a 15 week #1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
