I hear that term often but I'm not sure of what it means No problem! call out scores are basically the scores from audiences! It tells radio stations whether to keep playing a song or to drop it like a hot potato. Perfect Illusion for example was dropped quickly on radio because it had one of the worst call out scores unfortunately and many other songs suffer the same fate. If the GP enjoys a song the call out scores are positive and so the stations keep the song on rotation / give it longevity etc.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also stations in the US commonly call random americans from all sorts of demographics every week and ask them to do surveys. They also do a thing called "testing familiarity" where they see if a song is known and if it has "burned out" (as in been overplayed) or if it is unknown and has room to grow still.

Lots of better songs were snubbed, like why was ...Ready For It? the second single? Ikr ? LWYMMD was understandable because the video sort of like molded the imagery Taylor was aiming for this era. The follow up singles apart from Delicate were kinda weak imo. ..RFI? was a Top 10 because the GP was still under LWYMMD's influence but fell quite hard probably because it was overhyped. Gorgeous could have been selling like hot cakes if it was sent to the radios as the second single instead of ...RFI? . End Game was just plainly a bad choice, and is New Year's Day still considered a single at this point? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The impact of her appearing on the BBMAs will effect next weeks chart (if it has any impact at all). Delicate going top 40 this week is cuz of it's strong call out scores on radio which helped it grow organically on Pop, AC and HAC radio formats. Also it has been hanging in the 30 ish range of itunes for ages now. Hope the song keeps growing! It's a great song and the Reputation era deserves at least another moderate hit. Hoping Delicate enters the top 10 or should I say Delusion but no seriously its a good song Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That means Delicate could keep rising. Her north american tour is also giving it a push. As the tour goes on hopefully the song continues to ascend as well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

End Game was just plainly a bad choice, and is New Year's Day still considered a single at this point? They released ready for it as a promo first and debuted at #4. Imagine if it was released as an official single along with the video without being a promo. Could’ve charted higher. And they thought the Future and Ed Sheeran feature on End Game, since they’re in-demand on Streaming platforms, would give a huge impact to the song sales and streams, hence the expensive video. But it didn’t work Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact if they would of done any radio payola they would of done it when the song was also doing well on Spotify (which it currently isn't as it has peaked in terms of streaming). This was one of the most organic rises for a pop girl song in a while. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
