naval23 Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 Karma initially rocketed to top 5 on radio in its 8th week in June 2023 and then stalled there for 6 weeks before dropping to #7. Cruel Summer entered top 10 in radio in July 2023 and is now ahead of "Karma" on radio, currently at #5 in its 7th week. It kind of reminds of me "breathin" and "thank u, next" on radio - breathin' peaked at #3 on radio and thank u, next was in the top 5 at the same time before thank u, next swapped and peaked at #3 on radio.

byzantium Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 Maybe, but Cruel Summer had to shine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holiest Dreams Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 It killed it faster than it would’ve fallen without it, but it was a worthy sacrifice. Karma is still slaying anyways (I thought it’d drop way faster/harder) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXavril Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 IDK about any other radio stations, but KIIS-FM plays them both almost equally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wastedpotential Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 Karma was just about at its natural peak anyway as a post-album single that wasn't getting much urban crossover, and every serious radio watcher I follow said it was likely to be a sharp rocket up to the top and then an equally sharp decline, so Cruel Summer probably just brought its collapse forward by a week or two. Considering that it's still holding pretty steady on HAC and AC and isn't collapsing all that quickly on Pop, it's actually holding up better than I expected.

JorgeM Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 No, Karma did what it had to do, top both Pop and HAC radio and makes top 5 overall radio. It was never going to be higher because AC format is so slow and it is still playing Anti Hero a lot (it is still #2) and the competitors are multi format hits, last night and fast car (Country, Pop, HAC, AC) and Calm down (Pop, HAC, Rhytmic, Urban).
