Is it time to admit that Doja Cat is no longer a main pop girl?

She never labeled it as anything to begin with. She just announced it was being released...and EVEN IF it was her lead single, how are you honestly going to judge an entire era off of 1 song without hearing the album first? It's just dumb. 

lead-singles indicate an album's performance so yea

Girl, as a fellow Barb...no. You should stop responding in this thread 

[Alldeezy]

She just dropped an fantastic song? Its arts before charts and im glad she's doing that 

[Erreur2 La Nature]

These threads never make any sense, it's just being ignorant. I had no idea Doja Cat was considered a "main popgirl" here but if she's one, you don't loose that status because of one song underperforming

Honey what "buzz single" has radio, playlisting on TTH and a whole high budget music video... stop living in denial. The lead tanked

Never had a radio impact date.  And TTH costs absolutely nothing.    Idk why stans continue to perpetuate that lol.  

[whitehotforever]

she never was lol

[OnlyManInTheWorld]

She’s a pop star and should focus on pop. Why is she so desperate when it comes to satisfying rap listeners? 

[Blade Runner]

She's annoying and rude, and we don't like her anymore. 

[CBC]

Shes a main pop/rap girl slaying both categories not everyone has that 

[réveuse]

It's just one song....

She said it's not the lead-single after the fact it flopped  please... 

 

And yes that video definitely had a high budget. It's so apparent. 

It was literally days after the song came out …y’all really think she follows the numbers that closely?
 

And at the time of her IG live the song was actually doing decent.  Lol.  
 

As someone who works in music, you can tell based on how this was rolled out that RCA just did this to satisfy Doja’s wishes.  It was never meant to be a commercial lead.  
 

Rollout was nowhere near as massive as KMM’s rollout.   
 

[illia]

Y'all are so annoying

[Archetype]

Just because her alt-rap song flopped?  That doesn’t mean she’s given up on pop, it’s like when some of our faves go more experimental/niche for an era and don’t see the same level of success.

[Eclass]

This is her 'Not Myself Tonight'.

She will not recover anytime soon.

 

[LoveInStereo]

I don’t think she has earned MPG status yet however she has the potential to down the line. This pivot is a necessary move to win credibility. It’s a recalibration moment. Her music has been fun but impersonal & safe. She needs an iconic, career defining project more than chart success. Rih didn’t get her 1st #1 album till Unapologetic but Loud was the moment we all knew she was here to stay. Consider this Doja’s Wait Your Turn? Only time will tell

[SuperCiC1]

I'm so over the labels because to me Attn sounds like All Saints meets Aaliyah and that's as pop as it gets.

[leyaris11]

No. She can sing, she can rap and y'all will dealt. "Say So" and "KMM" already certified as a classic. 

[magazine]

ATRL will switch on her like they always do

[thatsmydemi]

The chart obsession. Asking her to go back to pop as soon as her new single underperformed.  

 

Let artists grow and experiment with other sounds. Y'all are boring. 

[Abracadabra]

Even if this album doesn’t have the commercial success of Planet Her, aiming for critical acclaim will give her more longevity overall.

[wish]

Let's hear the lead single first. Too soon for this

[Into The Void]

Doja had a hit last year with Vegas I wouldn't cut her out yet 

[kataraqueen]

uhm , anyway

[Polgg48]

so sad she flops so hard and even sexyy red serves longevity more than doja. rap girl competition is far too high atm, just go back to pop asap.
