single Rita Ora & Fatboy Slim - "Praising You"

[Bethenny Frankel]

I'm shocked this is doing so well on US radio considering her only real "hit" here is Black Widow

No chance. It aired during the break for voting in the first Semi Final.

 

She might have had some chance if she played the actual Eurovision Grand Final but nobody is going to be checking for her from the semi final.

 

I can’t believe people were hyping her Eurovision performance and it not be on the actual night of Eurovision

huh? semi-finals are ''actual' nights, wtf? Most people watch each night, die-hard ESC fans especially. The contest is being held in the UK so British folks are definitely tuning in which is her main target audience anyway

The Shazam chart is definitely proof that ppl hear it on the radio all across Europe and Australia. And ppl definitely shazamed it yesterday night too

I think it was good exposure regardless and even though the ATRL norm is diminish everything that she does, she didn't performed on UK television since 2021 so it was the best TV gig she could get apart from the final itself (late night talk shows are not happening there), and it was aired on other countries too, so a win is a win and it feels like she put some real effort this time compared to YOLM. Will this work? Maybe won't, but she did everything she could and outside the major label system. Mogul tingz.

the weak streaming numbers are due to bad playlisting since she is on BMG, an independent label which works radios very well but aren't strong in the streaming department unlike major labels. 

 

That's sad cuz Praising You really has everything to become a legit hit...

Bc the major labels own Spotify. (Aside from literally owning shares, except Warner now, they take up 80% of playlists). The game is just rigged in their favor.

It's so funny that US pop radio is that receptive to *this song* after years of her dropping hit after hit during her prime

Honestly Pop radio is at its lowest it’s been in years 

Any label can payola the song to the Top 20 now seeing how Pop spins and audience are so low 

I don’t care if it’s payola or not 

I just want Rita to get a hit

Ikr but is still funny that she will manage to get a radio hit on her flop era and without the help of a major label. I wish streaming was also catching up but if even eurovision didn't helped this, nothing will imo. 

[M.R.]

This whole era is DOA. What a shame.

[haimpedro]

oh i really thought this was going to be huge in the uk

[Scandalous]

damn they really let this obvious smash go to waste like that?

I mean, they did what they could. Radio exposure, great music video, ESC performance.

It's an independent label with no streaming pull which is crucial to get a hit....

 

She should've stayed on a major label, but it is what it is now. The album will do horribly if no miracle happens

[Laura Palmer]

Wish they had interpolated the sample more-so in the dance break, feel like that would have improved the song (for me at least)

 

Still can’t get over how the UK just discard their pop girls (even though there are countless examples) There’s absolutely no reason why this shouldn’t be smashing right now.
