Yes and no. No because it's an amazing song. Yes because it's a slow song made for a movie, who would have thought it'd do well on radio.

Impressive considering it’s from an indie film that basically had zero promo. :heart:

Yeah it’s kind of a bummer. Where are the obligatory mid-tempo HAC hits for Autumn.

Honestly yes. I love the song but thought it would go nowhere on radio.

It takes about a month after a song is serviced to radio for it to appear on the callout report, due to familiarity. Taylor’s “Is It Over Now?” Is coming :duca:

So glad radio gave this song a chance after snubbing Billie for so long :clap3:and the GP clearly said YES so I'm hoping for more radio hits next era

It's such a sleeper hit on radio but it's going to give the song legs 

 

The song is so good so I'm happy radio is embracing it

No the song is a masterpiece. Too bad she doesn't have payola unlike other artists.

No, it's one of the best songs of the year that should have been for the last 3 months in top of radio and BBH100

Considering how hard the song smashed on streaming, it’s about damn time radio catches up

Not surprising. Makes more sense that it’s smashing now in the autumn season once the weather starts cooling down and the GP is here for this type of music.
