RadioIsOurs 13,873 Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 From the wiki page, I saw that it only peaked at 29 in the Hot 100 . But from what I remembered, it was pretty big in Asia! It peaked at no. 6 in Japan and no. 2 in Korea, and western songs don't even usually chart in the top 10 of these countries... From where I live, I also saw plenty of adverts of this song and music video on my tv (I think it was for 4), and there was a parody video that was also a pretty big hit, at least based on where I live.. So why didn't it become a mega hit in the US or even in the UK though, considering it was the lead single of her highly successful album? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a bit too harsh sounding for radio but that's why I like it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hook and message was pretty 'revolutionary' for where I live. Guess feminism hadn't reached here yet... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Songs like the boy does nothing by alesha Dixon were big. I think the sound of the song was a bit too ott for uk taste I like it tho Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
