Chappell's new single 'The Subway' is predicted to drop from #3 to #17 on the BB100 this week. Interestingly that will place her one spot below her two year old song 'Pink Pony Club'. Why do you think this new song is failing to connect with the GP, whilst PPC continues to smash?

 

 

she got away indeed

It's #5 on Spotify US so it has more to do with lack of radio support so far. It's doing well. 

Just like The Giver. Taylor can't pass her up though!

The ending is dreadful in the studio version and is probably going to stop radio playing it. She needs a radio edit with half the shes got away bits removed, and one sustained belt only. Similar to how she does it live, but shorter.

Because of the ending. 

I haven't listened to it in a little bit but it's still a classic for me. She waited too long to release it. Either way it's a hit. 

Ijbol 

Because Billboard is outdated and no longer reflects current hits.

It just wasn't that great. She's still immensely talented can smash with the right material.

Its a weak song and there are too many similar songs that are better

Im sure she will have better luck in 5 years whenever her new music comes out

The ending is literally the best part.

No radio

Damn  .

 

One era wonder confirmed!

The no album thing will bite her in the ass I fear 

It's a fall winter single.

Not in the studio version. It is over processed. Which is why she doesn't do it like that live. Her live versions are far better. 

Ppl are losing interest in her im afraid and the fact that her album is nowhere near finished or coming soon….

It's too early to say, but I was told the internet was going absolutely nuts about this song and it would be a huge hit, so...

She has been performing it non stop. 

Radio doesn't know quality when they hear it

It was a cute first listen, but doesn't have much repeat value for the GP. The ending - as nice as it was - went on a bit too long as well. A little editing would have done wonders

It sounds like a timeless 2000s classic, not a current trendy pop single (a good thing given the state of current "hits"). I agree a radio edit could help, but it's more of a song to come back to years from now rather than its impact concentrated to a #1 chart position.
