base talk Sabrina's "Busy Woman" outstreaming "The Giver". What went wrong for Chappell Roan?

[halcyonday]

 

Two huge female pop stars of 2024 have released new work this year. Sabrina's Busy Woman, an album track from Short n' Sweet (Deluxe), is currently outstreaming Chappell Roan's highly anticipated single The Giver.

 

 

Busy Woman has received no support beyond some streaming service promotion and limited radio play. Meanwhile, The Giver is Chappell's first single following the massive success of Good Luck, Babe! and her sleeper hit album Midwest Princess. Chappell has already promoted the song on live TV, teased it for months with photoshoots on social media, and released multiple vinyl variants.

 

 

So why is Sabrina's album track outstreaming Chappell's hyped single?

[Popboi.]

The Giver offers nothing to pop listeners, Chappell's core audience

[Kyoto]

I'm actually surprised, cause bussy woman tanked hard.

[jdanton2]

the better song won.

Performing "The Giver" on SNL then waiting almost five months to release it was a mistake that drained most of its hype. On top of that, the final version was missing some of the best aspects of the live version (like the "only a woman knows how to treat a woman right" line).

[LittleStarmen]

Chappel firing her management is already showing results

[KahnumDash]

well, the song went wrong for starters.

[James_Dean]

Busy Woman is THAT b*tch 

[hallucinate]

bad song

The wait was ridiculous. Reminded me when Kim Petras performed "Coconuts" at the EMAs and then didn't release it for like 6 months despite it going semi-viral in the meantime. Republic totally missed the moment. 

 

I'm kinda surprised gays haven't latched onto "The Giver" more though, it's a top anthem. I guess that's why they haven't latched - unrelatable to pop stans

[Sazare]

The Giver was a bold choice for a single; seems that risk did not pay off

[Galaxy]

 

Don't worry too much, she's still doing fine

 

[sailor angel]

The Giver just isn't a good song and has very limited appeal. Pop listeners don't want country music and country listeners don't want a watered down country pop song about queer love. When she performed it on SNL I already knew it was a chop. All these pop girls wanna go country without recognizing how isolating it is to their main fan demographic. While we're at it, she should scrap that Subway song too.

 

Busy Woman is far from Sabrina's best work but it's a serviceable pop song that's cute and catchy and being sung by the trendiest artist around rn. Not surprised it's still holding up on the charts.

see when you release good music............

 

[Archetype]

Her fans want her unique blend of pop music, not country-pop.  

[Busty Woman]

***** EVERYONE LOVES ME, BUSTY WOMAN

[dobrevv]

whoever actually thought the giver was gonna be a hit is dumb,that song is nothing special 

[NewStanner]

Love both ladies, but The Giver is bottom 3 in Chappell's discography, meanwhile Busy Godman is top 3 in Sabrina's

[lgaga1fan]

Pink Pony Club is surging and her label is focusing on that and not The Giver, that's likely why.

[Afterglow]

She chose a country song at the wrong time in her career.

 

She's been going viral consistently in the worst ways politically, so choosing a country song was most certainly tone-deaf.

[yonsé]

What everyone has said;

 

pop fans don't want country music, country fans don't care about her, and her PR these days is NOT helping her.

[Rico Shameless v2]

I forgot this came out and most people probably have to. There are better Chappell songs to listen to.

[RoseBud]

 

both songs are flops....

[Princess Aurora]

It's a boring song

This is worse than the time Gaga performed half of ARTPOP before the album dropped and then redid all the tracks
