This aint 2011, what promo are you talking about? Miley did zero promo for Flowers and yet it was one of the biggest female hits of all time.

 

Unless she does a performance that goes viral, promo wont do anything.

 

Its all about playlists and radio support, Houdini has both and its simply not translating into streaming numbers.

It’s not event top 15 on radio, even flop songs like Used To Be Young and Is It Over Now? have more radio than this. 
 

OP. Not the “wait until January” becoming real :jonny3:

I would say it's objectively a moderate hit (for now, who knows what it might grow into), but is an underperformance with the context that it's the lead single following up the massive era that was Future Nostalgia.

 

The fact that they have yet to even announce the album name and release date three months after it came out is very telling, it's kind of giving her debut where they kept pushing it back to wait for a smash hit to launch it (or so it seemed at least).

It's not a smash hit (yet) but the song is still around so it's far from being a flop.

its a cute hit. ok not in the US but everywhere else it's a cute hit. not everything needs to revolve around the US

Don't get me wrong this era is not a huge flop by any means so far, just a step back compared to FN (for now)

Is a common coping mechanism on ATRL when any song flops. It's just a basic electronic song with a guitar added in and we all know it 

But But but the psychedelic elements can be heard more in the extended version.

If you were to remove it from TTH those streams would collapse overnight.

I forgot that TTH only have an effect on Miss Lipa despite none of her songs have appeared as the "most streamed playlist hit" in their weekly reports

Joyride

but you can say that for these songs:
