Creyk 17,817 Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 This radio update today surprised me: Pop Radio : 49 (+4) Demi Lovato - Stone Cold - Spins : 432 (+97) - Bullet : 317 - Audience : 3.979 (+0.201) WTF? I like Demi but let's be honest: this song is a screechy mess and an awful single choice. But also a "sad slow ballad" like TIHTY. Yet, it's getting airplay while TIHTY does not. It's official add date didn't even arrive yet, but it's growing on radio. Why is this? it's so unfair. Don't tell me Demi Lovato has more support in the industry than Lady Gaga Spoiler Yes I'm pressed, I thought TIHTY would be a cute little top 20 hit for Gaga Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SychosSoChic 9,995 Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Coz radios are finally acknowledging the needy and are doing their part to give back to the community Life ain't Hollywood for any one of us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MESSSS Gaga didn't you make MILLIONS from the AP tour? I'm sure she could spend like, some money on it even if Interscope doesnt want to. This is so annoying.

Edonis 28,950 Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Just now, Creyk said: And stone cold is radio friendly? Yeah I guess. That's why it's on the radio In all seriousness, TIHTY isn't going to be a smash hit anytime soon. There's no reason to get so bothered by it. It has a wonderful message and definitely connected to survivors which I think was the purpose of the song. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edonis 28,950 Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Plus it's a single off Demi's album. They're promoting it. Interscope isn't really promoting TIHTY. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benji 20,113 Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Whilst TIHTY is a good song, I don't really like the released version and find it kind of grating so maybe that comes into it? It's not all down to Payola... some songs just don't work well on the radio. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
