FolkLover1989 Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 So now that I have listened to standard album like 3 times. I am actually surprised how she didn't add baity pop single hook for radio like she does for her most albums ( except Folklore and Evermore to some extent) The album just confessional poetry and moving on. Do you think at such stage in career with so much interest in her , was it right decision to shift from her usual pop hooks? Discuss 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shinyshimmery Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 ICDIWABH, MBOBHFT, and BDILH are radio friendly imo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liafen Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 After her "proving" ""everyone"" wrong with the smash hit Anti Hero I don't think shes focused on what's generally considered a radio friendly hit and hopes to smash on her own name alone. Which she does, so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorjesspazze9 Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 She doesn't really need a hit. Swifties will make this the biggest album of the year alone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MusicLoverDude Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 It's a pretty experimental album. Taylor is at the point in her career where she can afford to experiment with her music. She doesn't need a generic hit to smash anymore. Fortnight is the most radio friendly song though so they were smart in releasing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tudors Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Because she isn't talented enough to write big pop hits anymore. She can only write boring songs now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie.Valdez Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Why would she? Streaming destroyed radio's relevancy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Duff Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 There are still some songs that could work well with radio (songs like MBOBHFT, Fortnight, BDILH, ICDOWABH, even Down Bad could work on radio). I mean if Is It Over Now and Anti-Hero did well on radio then these songs could too, potentially coming from her name alone. Who would have thought Anti-Hero would slay radio like that? It's not really a conventional pop song (I do think it's chorus has more mass appeal than any song in TTPD). If they want to take a risk I feel like putting out an alternative-leaning song like So High School, The Albatross, imgnnagetyouback or Who's Afraid of Little Old Me (maybe not this one because it's 5min+) could work as well.

PoisonPill Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 There are multiple IION-level radio hits on here, though I don't hear anything with Anti-Hero mega-smash potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelter Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 I don't think so, but at the rate she is pushing out albums, it doesn't matter really. I think she should've released 2 albums, 1 with big pop hooks to keep fans that like that happy and the other this album but just shorter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goverm3nth0ker Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 i think she doesnt care about singles anymore...like, 1989 tv and atw10m charted better than Midnights singles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tshwark Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Why should she? streaming counts for album sales and Billboard Hot 100 at the same time, having 2 or three tracks on TTH is enough. No one is going to remember the songs anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATRL Moderator Bloo Posted April 20 ATRL Moderator Share Posted April 20 She barely lifted a finger and had a 2019 song be the hit of the 2023 summer. I think she's not worried about it. Besides, I Can Do it With a Broken Heart is right there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CandleGuy Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Swifties decide what the radio plays, see: Summer, Cruel. There are no obvious radio candy but there are several tracks I can see working on radio. Fortnight, My Boy, Down Bad are all potential hits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
