Radio always carry the single after a huge hit

Even with one hit wonders

Are you asking us to explain the difference between how radio play and streaming works or what

The way she was radio POISON the 10 years before "Flowers" - two top 20 hits with "Wrecking Ball" at #4 and We Can't Stop at #15 and became a radio darling in 2023 is insane 

WCS at no.15? WTF

 

O.T - Spillover success from FLOWERS methinks.  At least the song is good

Yes the song is dead streaming wise but why are worldwide streams being brought up when it's top 10 on US radio? Looking for the correlation between the two

And where was all this payola for Jaded?

Jaded deserved but was bigger on radio than Malibu, Adore You, midnight sky, nothing breaks like a heart and many other gems so you're right

lol at people quickly to point out payola to songs/acts they don't like, but when their favs smash on radio but lack streams it's coz the GP's requesting on radio. GTFO x

I mean Bongos is #1 on urban radio but not charting anywhere in the top 100 on US Apple Music or Spotify. And yet ppl don’t think radio payola is real.

 

radio does help artistes a lot with charting (and consecutive week chart runs) but it’s % should be decreased significantly for billboard weighting…they were so quick to stop spam buying but not radio

This. Radio usually pushes the follow-up single to a massive radio smash (which "Flowers" clearly was) even if it doesn't click with audiences outside of radio, so this isn't out of the ordinary.

 

But if her next single also does this badly on streaming, while smashing on radio, then that might be a case for the FBI… :lakitu:

I mean... the song is still getting ~1M plays daily on Spotify so it's not like it's an utter bomb only carried by radio. It's true that radio is its main driving force but at least the callouts are good. We'll probably start seeing the radio chart grow more and more apart from the streaming chart. They're becoming different markets

Idk, the song isn't bad but it's not memorable at all.

of course belgium is stanning

 

they always taste on the girls quality ballads hihi

 

also she needs to perform this in places, most ballads do tank like this at first and need a traditional promo rollout

 

Not every ballad is like Adele - they're more about longevity/an afterlife. I think UTBY is more an AC'd hit and has missed the younger crowd, it was to capitalise on the fact flowers is a big smash with 40+ and shes started growing that audience

It’s not really a song you’d stream over and over again, but sounds great when it comes on on radio every now and then.

I LOVE Miley but I have never heard the song irl. I'm not against radios at all unlike most of ATRLers but in this case this is definitely curious

When you realize it's her 3rd biggest radio hit in the past 10 years is INSANE

 

Flowers and Used to be Young and Wrecking Ball are her only airplay top 10s in the last 10 years, radio did her so dirty back then
