Is anyone else surprised that Kesha's Praying is becoming a hit?

[Born To Slay 10,996]

Right now, Praying is top 15 on iTunes with both versions combined, getting healthy updates on pop radio and HAC and it's doing okay on Spotify. For such a deep song with little radio appeal, many predicted it would be a commercial failure. R u surprised it's on its way to hit status?

I heard it more than the cure and Million reasons combined on radio already (altho i dont live in the us so...)

I hope she gets another #1 song this era. She honestly deserves it, and she also made history this era.

I think it might be up there because we haven't really seen this type of music from Kesha and the GP are obviously shook by her high notes. 

Slay Rainbow, slay. 

[TeenIdle 126,456]

Surprised in a good way. Love everything she's put out so far.

[The Surrealist 27,470]

No.

It would be a miracle if a female pop star got a #1 single in 2017. Except Taylor and Rihanna maybe.

Don't get me wrong I think her intentions are pure but the lawsuit gave her a huge boost for this new sound. The "I'm not some manufactured pop trash" image convinced people that this album is good and should be critically acclaimed.

Rihanna will get blocked by Bieber, Taylor will likely stand no chance as well. If Ariana releases, I doubt expect a Top 3, hell as big as Adele is (as a seller) I doubt she stands a chance.

I'm not... Rainbow will me amazing, the three songs she's released so far are so good, such a great message and super catchy

I think Taylor could debut at the summit

That's why I'm kinda surprised, the gp doesn't generally have taste. They haven't in a few years now.

[ThingThatULove 15]

Not surprised - it's an amazing song and I'm glad the general public are seeing that 

[Monster Voices 1,024]

They don't ever play it here ( Bulgaria ) so I'm really happy it's becoming a hit in the US! Kesha is suck a sweetheart and deserves it so much!

I'm sure Depsacito has a huge lead on the 2nd song.
