'Vampire' already down to #7 on the Hot 100. What went wrong?

[shookspeare]

extremely unstable which is a very bad sign

 

[besaid]

It's boring and we already have one Taylor Swift. It also just sounds like a throwaway from her first album.

[50thStateofMind]

y'all are truly DESPERATE to drag this girl for her #1 single, aren't you?

[JoJo]

It would be top 5 if it weren’t for two songs that are going to immediately drop next week 

Anyway, the streams are stable and it’s rising on radio. I’d be more worried if Vampire tanks right before the second single and album come out.

Yeah exactly. The same thing happened to Womanizer and California Gurls. Huge debuts, fell a bit, and then rebounded. Plus Vampire is still doing great on streaming, despite the Barbie bombs, viral country songs, and songs that are actually front-loaded like that BTS/Latto song. There’s also that song with three of the biggest male artist. 

Cali was #2 for some a few weeks before it topped Hot 100 for 6 weeks.

You all are acting like it's doing Attention chart-run after a huge Planet Her era.

It has been 4 weeks and it still hasn't posted a single increase week on week for Friday (its biggest day) and Sunday (its lowest day).

Oh wow

The dossier!

[Feanor]

Once its slow intro ends, the song gets very… rash and aggressive.

 

I was with friends recently and they played TTH in the background. When it was time for "Vampire", my friend ended up skipping the song halfway through because of how loud it got. That opened my eyes…

 

[sourprint]

the song isnt summery at all lmfao this is a fall-early winter song. plus, she has said multiple times before there's gonna be way better songs on the album subtly (shes wrote 150 songs for guts since 2021 so its safe to say the album will be heavily curated. shes said the first song is the song shes most proud of to date) so yall can expect brutal/jealousy jealousy teas from some tracks.. vampire is ART and that's why it should win soty or roty at the grammys.

 

i believe it wasnt the best choice to come up with for a sophomore era lead single, but she served QUALITY and thats what it matters the most. the twilight visuals is the best part of the song to me and not many pop girlies out there risk to go out of their way to bring some dark imagery to their craft. everyones doing goofy **** except for maybe doja

people are consuming country songs more than anything nowadays and vampire is exactly the opposite of whats mainstream rn. shes doing great and gon snatch those GRAMMY NOMINATIONS 

[Credit]

its doing more than fine

 

[Great Username]

It doesn't have much replay value and it's just a bit of a bummer. It's nut the vibe rn 

[sourprint]

@Talento whats so funny? yall are so obtuse lmao that song is not a SUMMER SONG america is consuming country like crazy the new jungkook song is filled with payola cruel summer is being carried by radio and the list goes on cant yall WAIT for her to release the second single or wait for the album to drop altogether to reach to a conclusion. worth mentioning it debuted at #1 (ok by a low margin) and has the biggest debut on yt by a female american musician. cant wait for the same energy when billie drops her lead.

[NordicGuy]

People simply lack taste. But it's still doing good.

[Nashe]

it's a perfect introduction single to the era. Ppl will consider it as such one day just like with Ariana's "Dangerous Woman" (even though that one didn't even touch the top 5!)

[Patrickern777]

Where is her hype? and what is the drama with Taylor?

[WitnessOblivia]

I don't think it's doing that bad though. Did I expect it to do better? Yes. The reason it's 'underperforming' is because the song is not very strong.

were you not on ATRL when HTE was dropping? 

 

OT: Seems to be doing fine, maybe a bit underwhelming given the huge expectations. I hope she has an infectious bop lined up next, dropping this song during summer maybe was not the best idea.

not really lmfao ive been a member since october 2021 but ik ppl were mocking ha on twitter during that time

[Dialamba]

It’s not lead single material. But the song is not dropping because the GP doesn’t like it drops because there’s too much competition. Barbie, another country song, JK. 

[UnusualBoy]

The dramatics, you would think the song free fall and it's out of the top 50 at this point.

[naval23]

There were like 2 huge debuts and 3 of the top 5 are top 3 in airplay, so it makes sense

 

Her airplay is still building up and streaming still top 3

 

It's going to have a "What's My Name" esque type of run where it went 1-7 and then rebounded to #2 over 2-3 months later

 

 

[QueenofCopyPaste]

The weekly "what went wrong"? threads on this song

[littlebodybigheart]

there’s a few debuts above it. the song is doing okay

[unison stan]

it's at #7 bcz there are big debuts this week. also it's still in top 10 on spotify/apple usa
